         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/761
   of 13 May 2016
   derogating from Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 as regards the final date of submission of the single application, aid applications or payment claims, the final date for notification of amendments to the single application or payment claim and the final date for applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme for the year 2016
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   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 (1), and in particular point (b) of the first paragraph and the second paragraph of Article 78 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 (2) provides for the final date of submission of the single application, aid applications or payment claims, for the final date for notification of amendments to the single application or payment claim and for the final date for submission of applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme.

               (2)

               Given the administrative difficulties encountered in the first year of implementation of the new legal framework for the direct payment schemes and rural development measures, which continue to exist in some Member States, as well as the new elements linked to the preparation of the application process for the claim year 2016, the administration of the single application, aid applications and payment claims and applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme is delayed in some Member States. Those difficulties occur in the general context of the severe economic situation in certain agricultural sectors.

               (3)

               That situation has affected the possibility of beneficiaries to submit the single application, aid applications or payment claims and applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme within the time limits provided for in Articles 13(1) and 22(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014.

               (4)

               In view of that situation, it is appropriate to provide for a derogation from Articles 13(1) and 22(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 which enables Member States to fix for the year 2016 a final date of submission of the single application, aid applications or payment claims and a final date for submission of applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payments entitlements under the basic payment scheme that are later than those provided for in those Articles. Since the dates and periods referred to in Article 11(4) and Article 15(2) and (2a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 are linked to the final date provided for in Article 13(1) of that Regulation, a similar derogation should be provided for the notification of amendments to the single application or payment claim and preliminary checks.

               (5)

               Since those derogations should cover the single application, aid applications and payment claims, amendments to the single application or payment claim and applications for allocation of payment entitlements for the year 2016, it is appropriate that this Regulation applies to applications and payment claims relating to the year 2016.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Direct Payments and the Committee for Rural Development,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014, for the year 2016, the final dates to be fixed by Member States by which the single application, aid applications or payment claims have to be submitted shall not be later than 15 June.
   Article 2
   By way of derogation from Article 15(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 and in case the Member States use the derogation as provided for in Articles 1 and 3 of this Regulation, for the year 2016, the amendments made to the single application or payment claim in accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 shall be notified to the competent authority by 15 June.
   The derogation provided for in Article 1 of this Regulation and in the first paragraph of this Article shall also apply for the purpose of calculating the periods of 26, 35 and 10 calendar days, respectively, after the final date of submission of the single application, aid application or payment claims and the final date for notification of amendments as referred to in Articles 11(4) and 15(2a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014.
   Article 3
   By way of derogation from Article 22(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014, for the year 2016, the date to be fixed by the Member States for the submission of applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme shall not be later than 15 June.
   Article 4
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply to applications and payment claims relating to the year 2016.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/111
   of 26 January 2015
   establishing measures to alleviate a serious threat to the conservation of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) stock in the Celtic Sea, Channel, Irish Sea and southern North Sea
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that emergency measures can be taken on duly justified imperative grounds of urgency relating to a serious threat to the conservation of marine biological resources. The Commission at the reasoned request of a Member State or on its own initiative, may, in order to alleviate this threat, adopt such emergency measures in the form of immediately applicable implementing acts applicable for a maximum period of six months.

               (2)

               According to scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) as well as from the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in the Celtic Sea, Channel, Irish Sea and southern North Sea (ICES divisions IVb,c and VIIa, d-h) suffers from a rapid decline in biomass, because of a combination of declining recruitment and increasing fishing mortality. The spawning stock biomass is converging towards the lowest historically observed level. The current fishing mortality is almost four times as high as the stock can sustain. ICES therefore advises to implement measures to reduce substantially fishing mortality throughout the range of the stock.

               (3)

               The United Kingdom by letter of 19 December 2014 has requested that the Commission take action under Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, with a view to closing ICES area VIIe to pelagic fisheries targeting sea bass during January to April 2015 in order to reduce fishing pressure by protecting the sea bass spawning aggregations. The request has been communicated to Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands as well as to the North Western Waters and to the North Sea Advisory Councils. Belgium, France and the Netherlands have sent their comments to the Commission.

               (4)

               The comments made by France relate to the applicability of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, to threats caused by fishing activities and the procedure, to the proof of a serious threat, and to the risk of discrimination between fisheries. Belgium responded positively to the United Kingdom request. The Netherlands suggested the extension of actions to cover wider areas and other fisheries. With regard to the scope and the procedure of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 it should be noted that this provision is not limited to any cause and can thus be applied to any threat, be it caused by fishing activities or by other causes, and the time limits provided for by that Article are justified by the urgency of the need to address the serious threat. The proof of a serious threat to sea bass in the case at hand is based on scientific evidence, as set out below.

               (5)

               Sea bass aggregate in concentrations in particular areas during December to April to spawn. The sea bass stock depends on this reproduction phase. Targeted fisheries on these spawning aggregations is conducted during that period and contributes significantly to the overall fishing mortality of the stock and especially to the reduction in numbers of adult fish that can successfully reproduce. Catch statistics confirm that such fishing practice removes mainly adult fish which can therefore no longer contribute to the reproduction of this stock.

               (6)

               According to the scientific assessment by ICES and STECF commercial fishing by pelagic trawls is responsible for more than 25 % of the fishing mortality.

               (7)

               The finding of a serious threat to the conservation of marine biological resources follows from the risk of serious harm to the reproductive capacity of the stock, due to a steep decline of the spawning stock biomass, in combination with the expectation that continued targeted fishing may inflict unsustainable damage on the spawning stock. The Commission considers that duly justified imperative grounds of urgency exist because (1) the spawning season has started and (2) the fishing on these spawning stocks has also started. Scientific evidence supports immediate action as necessary during the ongoing spawning season of sea bass by taking measures which apply immediately and remain in effect until 30 April 2015.

               (8)

               It is therefore urgent to take measures in order to prohibit the targeted fishing of sea bass by way of pelagic trawling during the highly sensitive spawning season between January and 30 April 2015. Further delay in providing protection to the stock would considerably reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of the emergency measures. In order to reinforce the effectiveness of these measures operators should also be enjoined not to accept transhipments and landings of sea bass caught during the period of application of this Regulation.

               (9)

               In order to provide effective protection to spawning aggregations, which are highly variable in location, the emergency measures should cover the entire distribution area of the stock, i.e. the Celtic Sea, Channel, Irish Sea and southern North Sea (ICES divisions IVb,c and VIIa,d-h) and include fisheries using pelagic trawls. In addition ICES areas VIIj,k are included to prevent displacement in fishing activity as stock distribution is not fully determined.

               (10)

               The alternative measures suggested by France would not achieve the same result as the measure contained in this Regulation, because their effectiveness is uncertain. Furthermore, in order to provide further protection to the stock of sea bass, additional measures in respect of the impact of other fisheries may also be required at a later stage.

               (11)

               France has provided information which demonstrates that vessels using pelagic gears with mesh sizes between 32 and 69 mm do not target sea bass and that any by-catch of such vessels has a minimal impact on the stock.

               (12)

               The situation of the sea bass stock in the covered areas meets all the criteria of duly justified imperative grounds of urgency relating to a serious threat to the conservation of this stock and the Commission may hence adopt the measures contained in this Regulation pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on its own initiative and going beyond the request of the United Kingdom.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation will be submitted for the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter
   This Regulation sets emergency measures for the stock of sea bass in ICES divisions IVb,c, VIIa,d-k to alleviate imminent and serious harm to that stock.
   Article 2
   Measures
   During the period of application of this Regulation, it shall be prohibited to fish for sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in ICES divisions IVb,c, VIIa,d-k using pelagic trawls (referred to as OTM — midwater otter trawls, PTM — midwater pair trawls) with a cod end mesh size of 70 mm or greater.
   For vessels using those gears, it shall also be prohibited to retain on board, relocate, tranship or land sea bass caught during the period of application of this Regulation in the same area.
   Member States shall report catches of sea bass by pelagic (OTM or PTM) gears to the Commission 14 days after the end of each month.
   Article 3
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply until 30 April 2015.

   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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, 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 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at 3 months.

               (5)

                  (3)

                  A free arm sewing machine of the household type with a built-in electric motor of an output of 70 watts, equipped essentially with a needle plate, a presser foot, a bobbin case, controls, a built-in light, a cabled foot pedal and various accessories (e.g. bobbins, guide rails, a set of needles, double needles, etc.). It weighs approximately 7 kg (including the motor) and offers over 24 sewing programmes. It has a value of more than EUR 65.
                  The sewing machine works with an upper and a lower thread. One thread is inserted on the needle and the other is carried underneath by a shuttle (lock-stitch technique). The sewing machine can produce various types of stitches, however all these stitches are based on the principle described above. The machine can only imitate the over-lock stitch and is unable to cut off protruding material in the same operation.

                  8452 10 11

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8452, 8452 10 and 8452 10 11.
                  Given its function, construction, physical characteristics and way of operation, the sewing machine is to be considered a sewing machine of a lock-stitch only type of subheading 8452 10, as it can perform only stitches based on the lock-stitch principle (see also the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to subheadings 8452 10 11 and 8452 10 19, item 1(a)).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8452 10 11 as sewing machines of the household type, lock-stitch only, having a value of more than EUR 65 each.

                  Description of the goods

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An apparatus (so-called ‘TV simulator’) in a plastic housing with a transparent cover on the front and with dimensions of approximately 8 × 7 × 6 cm.
                  The apparatus is equipped with four LEDs for generating light, a quartz crystal, a dusk sensor, a timer, an operating mode display and control buttons. It is presented with a power supply.
                  The apparatus simulates a television set that is switched on, by generating random flickering light of varying intensity and colour during a pre-programmed period of time. It gives the impression that there are people present in the house with the purpose of deterring burglars.

                  9405 40 39

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9405, 9405 40 and 9405 40 39.
                  The function of the apparatus is to generate random flickering light solely with the purpose of simulating a television set that is switched on. As the random flickering light does not serve any signalling purpose, classification under heading 8531 as visual signalling apparatus is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8531, first paragraph).
                  As the article has all the objective characteristics of a lighting fitting of heading 9405, it is to be classified under CN code 9405 40 39 as other electric lamps and lighting fittings of plastics.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 199/2012
   of 8 March 2012
   fixing the standard values to be used in calculating the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto in respect of fishery products withdrawn from the market during the 2012 fishing year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 21(5) and (8) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides for financial compensation to be paid to producer organisations which withdraw on certain conditions the products listed in parts A and B of Annex I to that Regulation. The amount of such financial compensation should be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 2493/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been withdrawn from the market (2) specifies the ways of disposing of the products withdrawn from the market. The value of such products should be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average revenues which may be obtained from such disposal in the various Member States.

               (3)

               Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawals of certain fishery products (3), special rules provide that, where a producer organisation or one of its members puts its products up for sale in a Member State other than the country in which it is recognised, that body responsible for granting the financial compensation must be informed. This body is the one in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised. The standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State.

               (4)

               The same method of calculation should be applied to advances on financial compensation as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000.

               (5)

               In order not to hinder the operation of the intervention system in the year 2012, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2012.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   For the 2012 fishing year, the standard values to be used in calculating financial compensation and associated advances for fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer organisations and intended for purposes other than human consumption, as referred to in Article 21(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   The standard value to be deducted from financial compensation and associated advances shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

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

   of 14 August 2012
   fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2012/2013
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.

               (2)

               According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2011, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2011 was five years.

               (3)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 899/2011 of 7 September 2011 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2011/12 (3) has exhausted its effects, as it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2011/2012. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 should therefore be fixed accordingly.

               (4)

               Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2012/2013,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   For the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as 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 October 2012 to 30 September 2013.

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

                  1904 90 10

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 1904, 1904 90 and 1904 90 10.
                  The essential character of this product is conferred by the rice component.
                  Given its characteristics the product should therefore be classified in accordance with General Rule 3(b) under heading 1904.

   determining the quantities to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod from 1 January to 31 March 2018 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 539/2007 in the egg sector and for egg albumin
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1023/2011 of 14 October 2011 opening the tendering procedure for aid for private storage of olive oil

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1023/2011
   of 14 October 2011
   opening the tendering procedure for aid for private storage of olive oil
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(a), (d) and (j), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the Commission may decide to authorise bodies, offering sufficient guarantees and approved by the Member States, to conclude contracts for the storage of olive oil that they market in the event of a serious disturbance on the market in certain regions of the European Union.

               (2)

               In Spain the average price of virgin olive oil recorded in the market during the period specified in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 of 20 August 2008 laying down common rules for the granting of private storage aid for certain agricultural products (2), is below the level indicated in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. The prospect of a consecutive good harvest and the accumulation of stocks in Spain create an imbalance between supply and demand which exerts a downward pressure on virgin olive oil prices and causes a serious disturbance on the Spanish market. Spain is the most important olive oil producer of the Union and the price leader. The Union olive oil market is characterised by a high level of interdependence and therefore the serious disturbance of the Spanish market risks to propagate to all the olive oil producing Member States.

               (3)

               Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that aid for private storage may be granted for olive oil and that the aid should be fixed by the Commission in advance or by means of a tendering procedure.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 has established common rules for the implementation of the private storage aid scheme. Pursuant to Article 6 of that Regulation, a tendering procedure is to be opened in accordance with the detailed rules and conditions provided for in its Article 9.

               (5)

               The global quantity up to which private storage aid can be granted should be set at a level which, according to market analysis, would contribute to the stabilisation of the market.

               (6)

               In order to facilitate the administrative and control work relating to the conclusion of contracts, the minimum quantity of product each tender must provide for should be fixed.

               (7)

               A security should be fixed in order to ensure that the operators fulfil their contractual obligations and that the measure will have its desired effect on the market.

               (8)

               In the light of the evolution of the market situation in the current marketing year and the forecasts for the following marketing year, the Commission should have the possibility to decide to shorten the term of contracts which are being performed and adjust the level of aid accordingly. That possibility has to be included in the contract, as provided for by Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008.

               (9)

               Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, the time period of notification of all valid tenders by Member States to the Commission is to be fixed.

               (10)

               In order to prevent uncontrolled price falls, to react swiftly to the exceptional market situation and to ensure efficient management of this measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (11)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

The contract with the successful tenderer shall include reference to this option.
   Article 6
   Notification of the tenders to the Commission
   In accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 all valid tenders shall be notified separately by Member States to the Commission, within 24 hours from the end of each tendering sub-period as referred to in Article 3(1) of this Regulation.
   Article 7
   Entry into force
   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.
