         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/901
         of 29 May 2019
         concerning the authorisation of riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) (sources of vitamin B2) as feed additives for all animal species.
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

                     (2)

                     Riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) were authorised as sources of vitamin B2 without a time limit as feed additives for all animal species in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. Those additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (3)

                     In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, two applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) for all animal species, requesting those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. One application concerns riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096) and the other application concerns riboflavin and riboflavin 5′-phosphate ester monosodium salt, both produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984). Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (4)

                     In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, one of the two applications also requested the authorisation of riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) as feed additives for all animal species for use in water for drinking. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 for the use in water for drinking.

                     (5)

                     The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 3 December 2015 (3) and 13 June 2018 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) do not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that the additives containing riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) are not irritant to skin and eyes. In the absence of data, the Authority cannot conclude on skin sensitisation. Riboflavin is a recognised as photosensitiser, which may elicit skin and eye photoallergic reactions. Workers might be exposed to a respirable dust when handling riboflavin and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt; in the absence of data on inhalation toxicity, the Authority cannot conclude on a possible risk by inhalation. Therefore, the Commission consider that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. The Authority further concluded that riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) are effective sources of vitamin B2 in covering the animal's nutritional requirements. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the reports on the method of analysis in feed and, where applicable, in water, submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (6)

                     The assessment of riboflavin produced by Ashbya gossypii (DSM 23096), riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied for the use in feed and for riboflavin produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) and riboflavin 5′-phosphate sodium salt produced by Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17339 and/or DSM 23984) also for the use in water for drinking. Accordingly, the use of those additives should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                     (7)

                     Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for the substances concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

                     (8)

                     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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1082
         of 20 June 2019
         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 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)

                     In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 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, 20 June 2019.

                  For the Commission,

                  On behalf of the President,

            (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1).

            ANNEX

                        Description of the goods

                        Classification (CN code)

                        Reasons

                        (1)

                        (2)

                        (3)

                        A self-clinching stud made of steel. It has a threaded shank and a round, flat and smooth head with underlying knurling. It can have different dimensions.
                        The article is designed to be mounted on low-thickness metal sheets by means of a hydraulic or pneumatic press. The head stays exactly on the level of the sheet while the threaded part remains perpendicular to the sheet.
                        Consequently, it creates a male thread, which enables the sheet to be joined by means of an additional nut to another element which can be detached by screwing in a reversible way.

                            (*1)See image.

                        7318 15 95

                        Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7318 , 7318 15  and 7318 15 95 .
                        The article is threaded and used to assemble or fasten goods so that they can readily be disassembled without damage. It has the objective characteristics of a screw of heading 7318 . Consequently, classification under CN code 7318 19 00  as other threaded articles is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Heading 7318  (A)).
                        It is therefore to be classified under CN code 7318 15 95  as other screws of steel.

               (*1)  The image is purely for information.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1084
         of 25 June 2019
         amending Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 as regards the harmonisation of the list of approved or registered establishments, plants and operators and the traceability of certain animal by-products and derived products
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (1), and in particular Articles 21(5)(a), 23(3), 41(4), 47(2) and 48(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2) lays down implementing rules for Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, including requirements concerning commercial documents and traceability of animal by-products and derived products.

                     (2)

                     Pursuant to Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, each consignment of animal by-products and derived products is to be accompanied during transportation by a commercial document drawn up in accordance with the model set out in Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 and completed by the operator.

                     (3)

                     The competent authority of the Member State of origin is to notify the dispatch of animal by-products and derived products subject to Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 to the competent authority of the Member State of destination by means of the integrated computerised veterinary system (TRACES) introduced by Commission Decision 2004/292/EC (3).

                     (4)

                     For the purpose of efficient official controls at the place of destination, operators involved in the dispatch of consignments subject to Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 should only be allowed to choose the place of destination from lists of approved or registered establishments and plants integrated in TRACES, and not from lists of registered operators also integrated in TRACES.

                     (5)

                     Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should therefore be amended to include requirements for the harmonised lists of approved or registered establishments and plants and provide that harmonised and up-to-date lists are entered in or accessible by TRACES. A new Article should therefore be added to Chapter VI of Regulation (EU) No142/2011.

                     (6)

                     Harmonisation of lists in or accessibility by TRACES may present an administrative burden for competent authorities in Member States. Competent authorities should therefore have an appropriate transitional period for the implementation of the new provisions.

                     (7)

                     Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should not apply in case of specific movements of animal by-products and derived products between territories of the Russian Federation referred to in Article 29 of that Regulation and in case of specific transit through Croatia of animal by-products and derived products coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina and destined to third countries referred to in Article 29a of that Regulation. The specific requirements for the movements and transits laid down in the aforementioned Articles provide for an appropriate level of protection of public and animal health and thus allow for a derogation from the listing of establishments and plants of origin in TRACES.

                     (8)

                     Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No142/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (9)

                     Pursuant to Article 21(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, operators are to ensure that animal by-products and derived products are accompanied during transport by a commercial document. In order to prevent the use of certain animal by-products and derived products in the production chain of feed for farmed animals, the activities of registered traders responsible for arranging transport should be clarified and made more transparent for the purpose of official controls. The model of the commercial document that is to accompany the aforementioned animal by-products and derived products should be adapted in order to provide for the necessary information.

                     (10)

                     Certain animal by-products and derived products laid down in Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No1069/2009 are subject to channelling procedures. Operators and competent authorities should ensure that, where storage is required, such animal by-products or derived products always arrive to a storage plant registered in accordance with Article 23(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No1069/2009, an establishment or plant approved in accordance with Article 24(1) of that Regulation or arrive at the destination set out in Article 24(1)(j)(i) to (iv) thereof. It is therefore necessary to adapt the model of commercial document to the requirements laid down in Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No1069/2009.

                     (11)

                     The duration of transport between the place of origin and the place of destination should be limited to 15 working days to ensure the traceability of consignments. Should a consignment not arrive at the place of destination within this period, all involved competent authorities are to identify the location of such consignment immediately.

                     (12)

                     Several new commodities are subject to trade between Member States. The Commercial document should be revised to list those new commodities accordingly.

                     (13)

                     Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (14)

                     The dispatch to other Member States of animal by-products and derived products referred to in Article 48(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 shall be authorised in advance by the competent authority of the Member State of destination upon application by the operator. Annex XVI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out a standard format for the authorisation of the dispatch of animal by-products and derived products to another Member State. That format should be amended to include information on the authorised destination of derived products and the authorised users of animal by-products or derived products. Authorisation of those animal by-products and derived products in one Member State does not preclude a refusal of such dispatch by the competent authorities in other Member States. The standard format for the authorisation should be introduced in TRACES and electronically linked to the commercial document used for the authorised consignment s of animal by-products or derived products in order to prevent generation of the commercial document without a completed application form approved by the competent authority at the place of destination.

                     (15)

                     Annex XVI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should be amended accordingly.

                     (16)

                     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:

                        in Article 30, the following paragraph is added:
                        ‘This Article does not apply to the specific movements of consignments of animal by-products coming from and destined to the Russian Federation as referred to in Article 29 and to the movements of consignments of animal by-products and derived products coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina and destined to third countries as referred to in Article 29a.’;

                        (3)

                        in Article 32, paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:

                           ‘7.   Operators shall submit applications for the authorisation referred to in paragraph 6 in accordance with the standard format set out in Section 10 of Chapter III of Annex XVI hereto by means of TRACES.’;

                        (4)

         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (1), and in particular Article 4(1) and (2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141 (2) establishes a list of invasive alien species of Union concern (‘the Union list’), which is to be kept updated as appropriate, in accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014.

                     (2)

                     The Commission has concluded, on the basis of the available evidence and the risk assessments carried out pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014, that all criteria set out in Article 4(3) of that Regulation are met for the following invasive alien species: Acacia saligna (Labill.) H.L.Wendl. (Acacia cyanophylla Lindl.), Acridotheres tristis Linnaeus, 1766, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, Andropogon virginicus L., Arthurdendyus triangulatus (Dendy, 1894) Jones & Gerard (1999), Cardiospermum grandiflorum Sw., Cortaderia jubata (Lemoine ex Carrière) Stapf, Ehrharta calycina Sm., Gymnocoronis spilanthoides (D.Don ex Hook. & Arn.)
