         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/935
         of 16 April 2019
         laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards analysis methods for determining the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of grapevine products and notifications of Member States decisions concerning increases in natural alcoholic strength
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1) and in particular Articles 80(5), 91(c) and (d) and 223(3) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2). Section 1 of Chapter I of Title II of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 lays down rules on the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the wine market in the new legal framework, certain rules have to be adopted by means of such acts. Those acts should replace the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (3) which is repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 (4).

                     (2)

                     Pursuant to Article 80(5) and Article 91(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 the Commission shall, where necessary, lay down rules on the analysis methods for determining the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of grapevine products. The methods shall be based on any relevant methods recommended and published by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), unless they would be ineffective or inappropriate. Article 91(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 moreover empowers the Commission to lay down rules for checking whether those products have been subjected to processes contrary to the authorised oenological practices in the Union.

                     (3)

                     The method of analysis for determining whether allyl isothiocyanate is present in the wine product is laid down in the Annex to this Regulation. As regards other methods for determining whether products have undergone processes contrary to the authorised oenological practices, the applicable rules should be those allowed by the Member States concerned.

                     (4)

                     Point 3 of Section A of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 sets out an obligation for Member States to notify the Commission of any increase in the limits laid down in point 2 of that Section. Details concerning the submission of this information by Member States to the Commission should be laid down.

                     (5)

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

            ANNEX

               SPECIAL UNION ANALYSIS METHODS

            ALLYL ISOTHIOCYANATE
            1.   Principle of the method
            Any allyl isothiocyanate present in the wine is collected by distillation and identified by gas chromatography.
            2.   Reagents
            2.1.   Ethanol, absolute.
            2.2.   Standard solution: solution of allyl isothiocyanate in absolute alcohol containing 15 mg of allyl isothiocyanate per litre.
            2.3.   Freezing mixture consisting of ethanol and dry ice (temperature – 60 °C).
            3.   Apparatus
            3.1.   Distillation apparatus as shown in the figure. A stream of nitrogen is passed continuously through the apparatus.
            3.2.   Heating mantle, thermostatically controlled.
            3.3.   Flowmeter.
            3.4.   Gas chromatograph fitted with a flame spectrophotometer detector equipped with a selective filter for sulphur compounds (wavelength = 394 nm) or any other suitable detector.
            3.5.   Stainless steel chromatograph column of internal diameter 3 mm and length 3 m filled with Carbowax 20M at 10 % on Chromosorb WHP, 80 to 100 mesh.
            3.6.   Microsyringe, 10μl.
            4.   Procedure
            Put two litres of wine into the distillation flask, introduce a few millilitres of ethanol (point 2.1) into the two collecting tubes so that the porous parts of the gas dispersion rods are completely immersed. Cool the two tubes externally with the freezing mixture. Connect the flask to the collecting tubes and begin to flush the apparatus with nitrogen at a rate of three litres per hour. Heat the wine to 80 °C with the heating mantle, distil and collect 45 to 50 ml of the distillate.
            Stabilize the chromatograph. It is recommended that the following conditions are used:

                        —

                        injector temperature: 200 °C,

                        —

                        column temperature: 130 °C,

                        —

                        helium carrier gas flow rate: 20 ml per minute.

                  With the microsyringe, introduce a volume of the standard solution such that the peak corresponding to the allyl isothiocyanate can easily be identified on the gas chromatogram.
            Similarly introduce an aliquot of the distillate into the chromatograph. Check that the retention time of the peak obtained corresponds with that of the peak of allyl isothiocyanate.
            Under the conditions described above, compounds naturally present in the wine will not produce interfering peaks on the chromatogram of the sample solution.

               Apparatus for distillation under a current of nitrogen

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2280
      of 11 December 2017
      amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5a(2), the third and the fourth subparagraphs of Article 8(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 (2) sets out the number of returning holdings per Member State and per Farm Accountancy Data network (FADN) division. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 provides that the Member States have to notify the Commission of a plan drawn up for the selection of returning holdings that ensures a representative accounting sample of the field of survey before the beginning of the accounting year to which the plan relates.

                  (2)

                  Following the request of Germany to merge the divisions Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg into one division named Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg and the requests of Greece, Hungary, Romania and Finland to change the number of returning holdings or threshold of economic size due to structural changes in agriculture, it is appropriate to allow those Member States to revise their selection plans and/or threshold of economic size for the accounting year 2018 and to redistribute or adjust the number of returning holdings accordingly.

                  (3)

                  Given the growing importance of earlier availability and higher quality of accountancy data, the Commission encourages Member States to make additional organisational efforts enabling upgraded data completeness and enabling farm returns to be submitted earlier than the deadlines laid down in Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220.

                  (4)

                  In order to support earlier availability, completeness and increased quality of accountancy data submitted by Member States, the deadlines for data transmission and the procedure in relation to the payment of the standard fee should be reviewed and linked to the timing of delivery and completeness of the FADN data delivered to the Commission.

                  (5)

                  A transitional provision related to the accounting year 2018 budgetary availability should be included in Article 14 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220.

                  (6)

                  Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 sets out the form and layout of the accountancy data contained in the farm returns. For the sake of clarity, Annex VIII should provide for additional information as regards the presentation of those data.

                  (7)

                  Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (8)

                  The proposed amendments should apply as from the accounting year 2018.

                  (9)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/220 is amended as follows:

                  (1)

                  in Article 3(2), the following subparagraph is added:
                  ‘Germany, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Finland shall revise the respective selection plans they notified for the accounting year 2018. They shall notify the Commission of their respective revised selection plans for that accounting year by 31 March 2018.’;

                  (2)

                  Article 14 is replaced by the following:
                  ‘Article 14
                  Amount of the standard fee
                  1.   The standard fee referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall be fixed at EUR 160 per farm return.
                  2.   If the 80 % threshold referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 is not met neither at the level of a FADN division or at the level of the Member State concerned, the reduction referred to in that provision shall be applied only at national level.
                  3.   Subject to the fulfilment of the obligation to comply with the 80 % threshold as referred to in Article 19(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 in respect of a FADN division or a Member State, the standard fee is increased by:

                              (a)

                              EUR 5 where the Member State submits the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 of this Regulation not later than 1 month before the relevant deadline referred to in Article 10(3); or

                              (b)

                              EUR 7 in the accounting year 2018 and EUR 10 from the accounting year 2019 where the Member State submits the accountancy data referred to in Article 9 of this Regulation not later than 2 months before the relevant deadline referred to in Article 10(3).

                        4.   To the increase of the standard fee under points (a) and (b) of paragraph 3 may be added EUR 2 for the accounting year 2018 and EUR 5 from the accounting year 2019 where the accountancy data has been verified by the Commission in accordance with point (b) of the first paragraph of Article 13 of this Regulation and is deemed duly completed in accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, either at the moment of its submission to the Commission, or within 2 months of the date upon which the Commission informed the submitting Member State that the submitted accountancy data is not duly completed.’;

                  (3)

                  Annexes I, II and VIII are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 2

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2281
   of 11 December 2017
   authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2017 in certain wine-growing regions of Germany and in all wine-growing regions of Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 91 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point A.3 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years in which climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.

               (2)

               Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2017, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable. Such request has been made by Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden for all their wine-growing regions. Germany requested the increase of enrichment only for wine made from the wine grape variety Dornfelder for the regions of Ahr, Mittelrhein, Mosel, Nahe, Pfalz and Rheinhessen.

               (3)

               Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2017, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in point A.2 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength from all or certain grape varieties in certain wine-growing regions for which there would normally be market demand.

               (4)

               It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using all or certain varieties of wine grapes harvested in 2017 in wine growing regions in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from point A.2 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in the wine-growing regions or a part thereof listed in the Annex to this Regulation and for all or certain wine grape varieties as specified in that Annex, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2017, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2017, shall not exceed 3,5 % vol.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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) 2017/2299
      of 12 December 2017
      concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, minor porcine species (weaned and for fattening), chickens for fattening, minor poultry species for fattening and minor poultry species for laying, the authorisation of that feed additive for use in water for drinking and amending Regulations (EC) No 2036/2005, (EC) No 1200/2005 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2013 (holder of authorisation Danstar Ferment AG represented by Lallemand SAS)
      (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)

                  The preparation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (3), and as a feed additive for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 (4). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That preparation was authorised for the use in water for drinking for weaned piglets, pigs for fattening, laying hens and chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2013 (5).

                  (3)

                  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the preparation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and for pigs for fattening and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for the authorisation for use for minor porcine species (weaned), minor porcine species for fattening, minor avian species for fattening and minor avian species reared for laying and for the use in water for drinking, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 20 April 2016 (6) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that the use of the preparation in feed and in water for drinking has the potential to improve the zootechnical performance of pigs for fattening and chickens for fattening. It considered that since the mechanism of action of the additive is presumed to be the same, the preparation has also the potential to improve the zootechnical performance of minor porcine species (weaned), minor porcine species for fattening, minor avian species for fattening and minoravian species reared for laying. 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 Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA 18/5M 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 Annex I to this Regulation.

                  (6)

                  As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulations (EC) No 1200/2005, (EC) No 2036/2005 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2013 should be amended accordingly.

                  (7)

                  Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, 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:
      Article 1

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2298
   of 12 December 2017
   amending Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin
   (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 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto (‘the list’), at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

               (2)

               Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the competent authority at the designated point of entry is to carry out identity and physical checks on consignments of a product listed in Annex I thereto. However, pursuant to Article 9(2) of that Regulation, the decision to list a new product in Annex I may provide under certain conditions that the competent authority of the place of destination is to carry out those checks where the highly perishable nature of the product or the specific characteristics of the packaging are such that the performance of sampling operations at the designated point of entry would inevitably result in a serious risk to food safety or in the product being damaged to an unacceptable extent. Entries in Annex I may include a range of products and the assessment as to the highly perishable nature of the products covered may evolve after listing in Annex I. In addition, the characteristics of the packaging may change for products that are already listed. It is therefore appropriate to amend Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 to provide that the derogation referred to therein may be applied in respect of products which have already been listed as well as new products to be listed in Annex I.

               (3)

               Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least biannually, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.

               (4)

               The occurrence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of audits to third countries carried out by the Directorate for Health and Food Audits and Analysis of the Commission Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety, as well as the biannual reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended.

               (5)

               In particular, for consignments of peppers (Capsicum spp.) from India and Pakistan the relevant sources of information indicate the emergence of new risks requiring the introduction of an increased level of official controls. Entries concerning those consignments should therefore be included in the list.

               (6)

               In addition, the scope of certain entries in the list should be amended to include forms of the product other than the ones currently listed, where those other forms present the same risk. It is therefore appropriate to amend the existing entries concerning pistachios from the United States and peppers (Capsicum spp.) from Thailand and Vietnam to include respectively roasted pistachios and frozen peppers.

               (7)

               Furthermore, the list should be amended so as to clarify that the entries concerning dried grapes, falling under Combined Nomenclature (CN) Code 0806 20, also cover dried grapes which have been cut or crushed into a paste without any further treatment (3).

               (8)

               The list should also be amended by deleting the entries for commodities for which the available information indicates an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official controls is therefore no longer justified. The entries in the list concerning table grapes from Egypt and aubergines from Thailand should therefore be deleted.

               (9)

               In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (10)

               Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               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
   Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               In Article 9, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
               ‘2.   By way of derogation from Article 8(1), under exceptional circumstances, the Commission may provide in respect of a product listed in Annex I, that identity and physical checks on consignments of such products can be carried out by the competent authority of the place of destination as indicated in the CED, if appropriate at the premises of the feed and food business operator if the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 (b) and (c) are satisfied, provided that the following conditions are met:

                           (a)

                           the highly perishable nature of the product or the specific characteristics of the packaging are such that the performance of sampling operations at the DPE would inevitably result in a serious risk to food safety or in the product being damaged to an unacceptable extent;

                           (b)

                           appropriate cooperation arrangements are put in place by the competent authorities at the DPE and the competent authorities performing the physical checks to ensure that:

                                       (i)

                                       the consignment cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks;

                                       (ii)

                                       the reporting requirements laid down in Article 15 are fully met.’

               (2)

               Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

         Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2018.

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