   of 22 October 2013
   terminating the partial interim review concerning the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 11(3) and 13(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   1.   PROCEDURE

   1.1.   Measures in force

               (1)

               By Regulation (EC) No 91/2009 (2), as amended by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 924/2012 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain iron or steel fasteners currently falling within CN codes ex 7318 12 90, ex 7318 14 91, ex 7318 14 99, ex 7318 15 59, ex 7318 15 69, ex 7318 15 81, ex 7318 15 89, ex 7318 15 90, ex 7318 21 00 and ex 7318 22 00 originating in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘measures in force’).

               (2)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 723/2011 (4), the Council extended the measures in force to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not (the ‘measures in force as extended’).

         1.2.   Request for a partial interim review

               (3)

               A request for a partial interim review pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 13(4) of the basic Regulation was lodged by Malaysian Precision Manufacturing SDN BHD (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from Malaysia.

               (4)

               The request was limited in scope to granting an exemption from the measures in force as extended to the applicant.

               (5)

               In the request, the applicant claimed that it is a genuine producer of certain iron or steel fasteners and that it is able to produce the entire quantity of certain iron or steel fasteners that it has shipped to the Union since the start of the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation leading to the imposition of the measures in force as extended.

               (6)

               The applicant provided prima facie evidence that it has been established as a producer of certain iron or steel fasteners in Malaysia long before the imposition of the measures in force. In addition, the applicant claimed that although it is related to certain producers of certain iron or steel fasteners located in the People’s Republic of China, its relationships with its related companies in the People’s Republic of China had been established before the imposition of the measures in force, and that these relationships have not been used to circumvent the measures in force as extended.

         1.3.   Initiation of a partial interim review

               (7)

               On 14 May 2013, having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that the request contained sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission initiated a partial interim review pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 13(4) of the basic Regulation by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (5) (‘the Notice of initiation’). That partial interim review was limited to the examination of the possibility of granting an exemption from the measures in force as extended to the applicant.

         1.4.   Interested parties

               (8)

               The Commission officially informed the applicant, the representatives of Malaysia and the People’s Republic of China and the association of Union producers about the initiation of the partial interim review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to a request a hearing within the time limit set in the Notice of initiation. Only the applicant came forward. No hearing has been requested.

               (9)

               In order to obtain the information deemed necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant, who did not provide any reply within the deadline set for that purpose.

         2.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING

               (10)

               On 18 June 2013, the applicant withdrew its request for the partial interim review of the measures in force as extended. The applicant claimed that it was not able to provide the Commission with the data requested in the questionnaire as regards its related companies. Furthermore, the applicant complained that the deadline for submitting the questionnaire reply was too short. However, no substantiated request for an extension of the time limit for submitting the reply to the questionnaire has been made.

               (11)

               In view of the withdrawal, it was considered whether it would be warranted to continue the review investigation ex officio. The Commission found that no compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that termination would not be in the Union interest. On this basis, the review investigation should be terminated.

               (12)

               Interested parties were informed of the intention to terminate the review investigation and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.

               (13)

               It is therefore concluded that the partial interim review concerning the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not, should be terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force as extended,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners originating in the People's Republic of China, as extended to imports of certain iron or steel fasteners consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not, initiated pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 is hereby terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force as extended.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8, points 3 and 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(2)(b) and Article 9(4) thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (2), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (3), and in particular Article 23(1), Article 24(2), Article 25, Article 26(2) and Article 28(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4) provides that the commodities falling within its scope of application are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the commodities concerned. Those requirements take into account whether or not specific conditions are required due to the disease status of those third countries, territories, zones or compartments. Those specific conditions, as well as the model veterinary certificates required to accompany imports of those commodities, are set out in Part 2 of Annex I to that Regulation.

               (3)

               Malaysia is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports of egg products and eggs for human consumption are authorised, but only from the region of the Western Peninsular (MY-1). However, the entry for that third country in that Annex indicates that imports of eggs for human consumption from that region are currently restricted for public health reasons, due to the fact that the relevant Salmonella control programme has not yet obtained EU approval in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and also due to a specific condition on restrictions related to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

               (4)

               According to the last update of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) on HPAI in animals, Malaysia has been free of HPAI for more than two years. It is, therefore, appropriate to lift the animal health restrictions in relation to imports of eggs for human consumption with respect to HPAI and to update the entry for Malaysia in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 accordingly. Nevertheless, imports of eggs for human consumption should continue to be prohibited due to the remaining restrictions due to the absence of a Salmonella control programme approved by the Union.

               (5)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down conditions for determining whether or not a third country, territory, zone or compartment is to be considered as free from Newcastle disease. One of the conditions is that no vaccination against that disease, using vaccines that do not comply with the criteria for recognised Newcastle disease vaccines set out in Annex VI to that Regulation, has been carried out, for a period of at least 12 months preceding the certification by the official veterinarian, unless the additional health requirements set out in Annex VII thereto are fulfilled. The model veterinary certificates BPP, BPR, DOC, DOR, HEP, HER, SRP and SRA set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 require certification of compliance and information on the use of Newcastle disease vaccines, including the name and the type of the vaccine and the date of vaccination. The current format of those models should be updated to allow a more convenient recording of that information in a tabular format.

               (6)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 allows imports of meat of farmed ratites for human consumption into the Union from ‘registered closed ratite holdings’ in South Africa provided that the specific conditions set out in Annex I thereto are fulfilled. However, experience has shown that it is necessary to clarify the veterinary certification requirements for that commodity, in particular with respect to the occurrence of low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses in ratite and poultry holdings. The specific condition ‘H’ and the model veterinary certificate for meat of farmed ratites for human consumption (RAT), set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, provides for alternative certification conditions for imports of day-old chicks and hatching eggs from Canada originating from holdings located in areas outside those placed under official restrictions for LPAI due to guarantees received from that third country and the veterinary agreement (5) entered into with it. However, it is appropriate to establish veterinary certification requirements for imports of day-old chicks and hatching eggs from all third countries authorised for such imports in order to align those requirements with those being applied within the Union in the case of an LPAI outbreak, including placing an area of at least 1 km radius around an LPAI outbreak under official veterinary restrictions. It is also appropriate to apply those amended requirements for LPAI to imports of all commodities from live poultry and live ratites covered by Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 from all third countries authorised for such imports. In Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, the specific condition indicated as ‘L’ should therefore be deleted and the model veterinary certificates BPP, BPR, DOC, DOR, HEP, HER, SRP and SRA should be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down rules for the control of Salmonella in different poultry populations in the Union. It provides that admission to, or retention on, the lists of third countries provided for in Union legislation, for the relevant species or category, from which Member States are authorised to import those poultry or hatching eggs covered by that Regulation is subject to the submission to the Commission by the third country concerned of a control programme for Salmonella with equivalent guarantees to those contained in the national control programmes for Salmonella in the Member States. Relevant guarantees and information in that regard are also included in the relevant model veterinary certificates for those commodities set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008. For the purpose of convenience, the indication and attestation of those guarantees in model veterinary certificates: BPP, DOC, HEP and SRP, set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, should be amended to allow the use of a tabular format.

               (9)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 517/2011 (6) repealed Commission Regulation (EC) No 1168/2006 (7). References to Regulation (EC) No 1168/2006 in Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended in order to refer instead to Regulation (EU) No 517/2011.

               (10)

               Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (8) lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators and the definitions which apply to them. Point 1.12 of Annex I to that Regulation lays down the definition for ‘viscera’ which includes poultry gizzards.

               (11)

               In addition, Commission Decision 2007/240/EC (9) establishes standard models for veterinary certificates required for the import of live animals, semen, embryo, ova and products of animal origin into the Union and the certificates for transit through the Union of products of animal origin. The explanatory notes set out in Annex I to that Decision provide that the Harmonised System (HS) codes, as they appear in the World Customs Organisation's Harmonised System are to be used when completing Box I.19 of the model veterinary certificates. In that System, poultry gizzards are stomachs of animals which remain classified under HS code 05.04 even when edible.

               (12)

               The model veterinary certificate for meat of poultry (POU) set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 refers in point I.19 of Part I of the Notes to the HS headings 02.07 and 02.08. In order to include the certification for poultry gizzards, the HS code 05.04 should be added to those Notes.

               (13)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2012 (10) authorises Denmark to apply the special guarantees concerning salmonella laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 to eggs intended for dispatch to that Member State. Accordingly the model veterinary certificate for eggs (E) set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended in order to take account of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2012. In addition, the reference in that model veterinary certificate to Council Regulation (EC) No 1028/2006 (11) should be replaced, as that Regulation has now been repealed, by a reference to Part VI of Annex VII of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 (12) of the European Parliament and of the Council.

               (14)

               Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (15)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the amended model veterinary certificates become mandatory in order to allow Member States and the industry to adapt to the new requirements set out in the amended model veterinary certificates.

               (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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/2106
   of 1 December 2016
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 884/2014 imposing special conditions governing the import of spices from Ethiopia, groundnuts from Argentina and hazelnuts from Azerbaijan and amending the special conditions governing the import of dried figs and hazelnuts from Turkey and groundnuts from India
   (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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 884/2014 (2) imposes special conditions on the import of certain feed and food from certain third countries due to contamination risk by aflatoxins.

               (2)

               Since 2015, there have been several notifications in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) reporting high levels of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in (mixtures of) spices from Ethiopia. In order to protect human and animal health in the Union, it is necessary to provide for additional guarantees in relation to spices from Ethiopia.

               (3)

               An increase of findings of non-compliance with Union legislation on aflatoxins has been reported by the RASFF recently for groundnuts (peanuts) from Argentina and hazelnuts from Azerbaijan. Both commodities have been listed in the past for an increased level of official controls on imports within the framework of Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (3) and were delisted following favourable results of the official control checks. Given the recent increase of findings of non-compliance, it is necessary to provide for additional guarantees and to ensure that the competent authority of the country of origin carries out the necessary controls before export to the Union. Therefore the requirement that a health certificate accompany each consignment of groundnuts (peanuts) from Argentina and hazelnuts from Azerbaijan for import into the Union is necessary in order to protect human and animal health in the Union.

               (4)

               It should be noted that compound feed and food, containing any feed or food covered by the special conditions provided for in this Regulation in a quantity above 20 %, is also covered by the special conditions provided for in this Regulation. It should also be noted that the 20 % refers to the sum of the products covered by the special conditions provided for in this Regulation.

               (5)

               Given that in certain situations, consignments have arrived at the designated point of import (DPI) without the relevant entries in the Common Entry Document (CED) completed for documentary control, it is appropriate to explicitly provide that the transfer of the consignment to the DPI may only be authorised after the presentation of a completed CED for documentary control.

               (6)

               Based on the results of the official control tests, the following changes to products subject to specific conditions and/or control frequencies are appropriate: reduction of sampling frequency on dried figs from Turkey given the favourable results of the tests, reduction of sampling frequency on groundnuts (peanuts) from India given the favourable results of the tests, increase of the sampling frequency on hazelnuts from Turkey given the increase of findings of non-compliance through the RASFF.

               (7)

               Furthermore, the CN code of dried fruit of the genus Capsicum, whole, other than sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum) has to be updated to align the scope with the entry Capsicum annuum, crushed or ground, i.e. not including the genus Pimenta.

               (8)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 884/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/596
   of 15 April 2015
   amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 as regards the increase in the maximum total sulphur dioxide content where the climate conditions make this necessary
   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 point (c) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (2) sets out the maximum permissible total sulphur dioxide content of wine. Point A(4) of Annex I B provides that the Commission may decide that Member States concerned may authorise an increase of a maximum of 50 milligrams per litre in the maximum total sulphur dioxide levels of less than 300 milligrams per litre, where climate conditions make this necessary.

               (2)

               On 1 December 2014, the competent German authorities sent an official request to increase the maximum permissible total sulphur dioxide content of wine of less than 300 milligrams per litre by a maximum of 50 milligrams per litre for wine produced from grapes harvested in 2014 in the wine-growing areas of the German Länder ‘Baden-Württemberg’, ‘Bavaria’, ‘Hessen’ and ‘Rhineland Palatinate’.

               (3)

               The technical note provided by the competent German authorities indicates that the climate conditions, in particular a warm and humid weather during harvest, have fostered the development of pests producing pyruvate, acetaldehyde and alpha-ketoglutaric acid. These substances bind to sulphur dioxide and reduce its preservative action. Therefore, the total quantities of sulphur dioxide needed to ensure the proper vinification and proper preservation are higher in wine produced from those grapes. The temporary authorisation referred to in Point A(4) of Annex I B to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is therefore the only available option to allow the grapes affected by these unfavourable weather conditions to be used to produce wine suitable for placing on the market.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Appendix 1 of Annex I B to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is replaced by the text 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.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1243
   of 27 July 2016
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 as regards fixing representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin
   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 183(b) thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 1216/2009 and (EC) No 614/2009 (2), and in particular Article 5(6)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (3) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

               (2)

               Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 is replaced by the text 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.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 27 July 2016.
