         entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (‘Mollete de Antequera’ (PGI))
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         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 Article 52(2) thereof,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1712
         of 16 November 2020
         amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 to classify the substance lidocaine as regards its maximum residue limit
         (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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14, in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
         Having regard to the opinions of the European Medicines Agency formulated on 16 July 2020 by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 requires that the maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is established in a Regulation.

                     (2)

                     Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2) sets out the pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin.

                     (3)

                     Lidocaine is already included in that table as an allowed substance for equidae, for local-regional anaesthetic use only. The existing entry has a ‘no MRL required’ classification.

                     (4)

                     An application for the extension of the existing entry for lidocaine to porcine species, for cutaneous and epilesional use only in piglets up to 7 days of age, has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (‘Agency’).

                     (5)

                     An application for the extension of the existing entry for lidocaine to bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk, has also been submitted to the Agency.

                     (6)

                     The Agency, based on the opinions of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use, has recommended the establishment of an MRL for lidocaine in bovine species, but has concluded that the establishment of an MRL for lidocaine in porcine species, of certain age and for certain use, is not necessary for the protection of human health.

                     (7)

                     According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, the Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

                     (8)

                     The Agency has considered that the extrapolation of the entry for lidocaine in porcine and bovine to other food-producing species is not appropriate at this time due to insufficient data.

                     (9)

                     Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (10)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out 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.
            Done at Brussels, 16 November 2020.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1727
         of 18 November 2020
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 as regards certain rules on Authorised Economic Operators
         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 41 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In order to ensure, for the purpose of granting the status of authorised economic operator, a uniform implementation of the criterion laid down in Article 39(a) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 (‘the Code’) on the absence of any serious or repeated infringements of customs legislation and taxation rules including no record of serious criminal offences, relating to the economic activity of the applicant, certain provisions of Article 24 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (2) need to be clarified. First, it is necessary to clarify that, as regards infringements, the criterion is fulfilled where no administrative or judicial authority has taken a decision concluding that one of the persons described in point (b) of Article 24(1) has committed such infringements over the previous three years. The facts giving rise to the infringements must have occurred in the previous three years, even though the administrative or judicial authority might in some cases conclude on those facts after those three years have elapsed. Second, it is necessary to clarify that the relevant serious or repeated infringements of customs legislation and taxation rules are those related to the economic activity of the persons described in point (b) in that Article. Third, it is necessary to clarify which persons other than the applicant must, depending on the organisational structure of the applicant, be assessed with respect to the criterion.

                     (2)

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

                     (3)

                                                   (iii)

                        (2)

                        paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1733
         of 19 November 2020
         fixing the trigger volumes for the years 2021 and 2022 for the purposes of possible application of additional import duties on certain fruit and vegetables
         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 point (b) of the first paragraph of Article 183 thereof,

That additional import duty has to apply if the quantity of any of the products put into free circulation for any of the periods of application set out in that Annex exceeds the trigger volume of imports in a year for that product. Additional import duties shall not be imposed where the imports are unlikely to disturb the Union market, or where the effects would be disproportionate to the intended objective.

                     (2)

On the basis of the data notified by the Member States for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, the trigger volumes for certain fruit and vegetables should be fixed for the years 2021 and 2022.

                     (3)

                     Taking into account that the period of application of possible additional import duties as set out in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 starts for a number of products on 1 January, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2021,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            For the years 2021 and 2022, the trigger volumes referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for the products listed in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
            It shall apply from 1 January 2021.
            It shall expire on 30 June 2022.

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