         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/131
         of 29 January 2020
         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,

                     (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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/132
         of 30 January 2020
         laying down an emergency measure in the form of a derogation from Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Union contribution to the promotion measure in the wine sector
         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 221(1) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     On 2 October 2019, the World Trade Organization (WTO) issued the arbitration decision in European Communities and Certain Member States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft, WT/DS316/ARB. The arbitration decision entitled the United States of America (USA) to request an authorisation to impose countermeasures at a level not exceeding USD 7,5 billion annually in response to Union subsidies to Airbus. On 18 October 2019, the USA imposed a 25 % ad valorem import duty on, among others, still wines exported to the USA by Germany, Spain, France and the United Kingdom. This exceptional, inequitable and unpredictable situation is having a severe and detrimental impact on the global trade of all Union wines. The USA have further threatened to apply 100 % ad valorem import duties on French sparkling wines in response to the French Digital Services Tax (GAFA tax).

                     (2)

                     The import duties imposed by the USA are having a direct and severe impact on the Union wine trade on the USA market, which is the Union’s largest export market for agricultural products, and for wine in particular, both in terms of value and volume of exports. In 2018, Union wine exports to the USA totalled 6,5 million hectolitres, accounting for EUR 4 billion. Union wine exports to the USA typically represents between 30 and 40 % of the global Union wine export value.

                     (3)

                     The increased import duties imposed by the USA are having a damaging effect on all Union wine, not only on still wines originating from the four Member States that are subject to the increased import duties. The reputation and trade of all Union wine present in the USA market is adversely impacted as a result. The reputation of wine is determined not only by its quality but also by its price and the perceived price-quality ratio. This is particularly the case for the lower to middle range priced wines, which, in absolute terms, are impacted more by a 25 % import duty than more expensive wines that are purchased by connoisseurs for whom a price increase does not operate as a deterrent. Union wines compete in the USA market with wines from other origins such as South America, Australia or South Africa. In the light of such fierce and intense competition, perception of overall price levels plays a significant role. Where the consumer is aware that the price of wine from certain origins within the Union is subject to an increased import duty, this will have a negative impact on the overall perception of the price level of Union wines and thus divert consumer demand to products of other origins. In the light of the identified resulting market conditions and decrease in overall returns to producers, immediate measures to address the effects of the import duties are warranted covering all wines originating in all Member States and not only in those directly targeted by the import duties.

                     (4)

                     From a market stability perspective, the import duty regime imposed by the USA does not represent an isolated national measure with effects limited to the trade with the USA. The world wine market is a global market on which single measures taken by important economic players such as the USA have far-reaching repercussions affecting the international trade in wine as a whole. Any negative change in the conditions in a major destination market for Union wines, such as the USA, inevitably affects other markets since the products that cannot be sold in the USA, having become too expensive, need to be diverted elsewhere. Consequently, consumers in those other markets, being well aware of the market conditions, will exert additional pressure on prices and competition will also be much fiercer than normal. The current import duties imposed by the USA are therefore likely to cause stagnation in Union wine exports worldwide. Reports from the wine sector have shown that significant orders of French wines on the USA market have already been cancelled.

                     (5)

                     The Union wine market has been subject to aggravating conditions throughout 2019 and wine stocks are at their highest level since 2009. This development is due primarily to a combination of the record harvest in 2018 and decreasing wine consumption in the Union. If the wines affected by the import duties imposed by the USA are not sold on the export markets outside the Union, this will only serve to amplify the urgency and seriousness of the situation in the Union market. Furthermore, the urgency of the situation is aggravated by the timing of the application of the import duty tariffs. The tariffs are applicable from 18 October 2019, which falls right in the middle of the 2019 wine harvest and production campaign and just before the end of year festive season; two of the most important sale periods of the year for the Union wine sector. Against this background, it is therefore necessary to take immediate measures to address the situation.

                     (6)

                     Among the support measures in the wine sector set out in Article 43 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, only the promotion measure under Article 45(1)(b) of that Regulation is directly targeted on promoting Union wines in third countries in order to improve their competitiveness. Over the years, the promotion measure has proved remarkably effective to conquer and consolidate markets in third countries. It proved to be the most effective tool to support Union wines on third country markets by enhancing their reputation and raising awareness on their quality. The international wine market is a global market and any promotion operation of Union wine on third country markets is beneficial to all Union wines. It opens opportunities for operators who will subsequently enter the market in question with other Union wines. The individual promotions have a “multiplier” effect on sales as they cover whole ranges of wines or entire winemaking regions and not just one individual brand or type of wine. It is therefore essential to continue, launch and intensify promotion activities in all markets in order to find outlets for the wines that will not be sold on the USA market and to preserve the reputation of Union wines in those other markets as well as to counter pressure on prices.

                     (7)

                     Therefore, to help operators respond to the current exceptional circumstances in export markets all over the world following the import duty regime imposed by the USA and address this unpredictable and precarious situation, it is appropriate to allow further flexibility in implementing the promotion measure under Article 45(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. It is therefore necessary, as an exceptional measure, to provide for a derogation from Article 45(3) of that Regulation and temporarily increase the maximum Union contribution to promotion measures under Article 45(1)(b) of that Regulation from 50 % to 60 % of the eligible expenditure.

                     (8)

                     This measure is necessary because operators will inevitably incur additional costs arising from the need to divert promotions to different countries or to organise new promotions in other countries, all of which will need to be executed in urgency to ensure stocks are sold. Increasing the Union contribution for promotion measures to 60 % and consequently decreasing the beneficiary’s contribution would allow beneficiaries to undertake more ambitious actions and preserve hard-won positions on the foreign markets. It will also provide an incentive to new operators to apply for support for promotion operations in circumstances they might not otherwise have done were the Union contribution to remain at 50 %, in particular as concerns those operators who previously could not afford to do so. Reducing their financial burden to 40 % will help them to cope with the impact of the import duties imposed by the USA.

                     (9)

                     The flexibility introduced by increasing the Union contribution represents a form of financial support, which, however, does not require additional Union financing since the budgetary limits for the national support programmes in the wine sector laid down in Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 continue to apply. Member States may thus decide to allocate higher amounts to the promotion measure only within the yearly budget provided for in Annex VI to that Regulation. The measure is aimed, therefore, at providing support to the sector in the given unstable market situation without having to mobilise additional funds in the first place. Furthermore, this flexibility should not have a negative impact on the budget allocated to other support measures under that Regulation, since some of the measures, such as restructuring and conversion of vineyards, are becoming less relevant and less budget consuming for Member States. In addition, the statistics of the recent years show an underspending of the maximum budget available per Member State.

                     (10)

                     The import duties imposed by the USA and the resulting difficulties for the trade in Union wine constitute a specific problem within the meaning of Article 221 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. This specific problem cannot be addressed by measures taken pursuant to Article 219 or 220 of that Regulation. On the one hand, it is not linked to an already existing market disturbance since the import duties imposed by the USA are currently severely impacting the reputation of Union wine and are likely to cause a rapid deterioration of wine market conditions in the future if the situation is not addressed immediately. This specific problem is currently also not linked to a sufficiently specific threat of a market disturbance that is likely to continue in its current form since the import duty tariffs by the USA are expected to change over time and as such are likely to have further unpredictable effects on the global wine market. On the other hand, this specific problem is also not linked to measures for combating the spread of diseases of animals or a loss of consumer confidence due to public, animal or plant health risks as required by Article 220 of that Regulation.

                     (11)

                     Furthermore, this measure together with an increased flexibility in the implementation of the promotion measure set out in Article 45(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, is a part of a series of measures intended to help at Union level operators affected by the import duties imposed on Union wines by the USA. However, among those measures, this measure is the only one providing some financial relief that is necessary address the situation of operators affected by the import duties imposed by the USA as a result of income losses and increased expenses triggered by the need to find new markets for their wines.

                     (12)

                     The measure should be strictly limited to what is necessary to address the current exceptional circumstances in export markets both as regards the scope and the period of application.

                     (13)

                     The Union contribution can only be granted by Member States on the basis of an application which is selected under the promotion measure set out in Article 45(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. It should be available to all operators selected under the measure in disregard of the specific wine category or the origin of Union wine, given the fact that the application of the import duty tariffs by the USA is damaging to all Union wine exports. In this context, it is necessary to adopt measures to improve the export competitiveness of all Union wines. To ensure that, the present emergency measure should thus apply to all beneficiaries regardless of the markets targeted in their operations. It should be equally available to the operators envisaging to target the USA market but also the ones who would direct their efforts to another third country market in the current exceptional circumstances on the world wine market. In addition, it would be very difficult to separate within one promotion operation the actions concerning still wines from the actions concerning other wines since the promotion operations are typically designed to promote a whole range of products and not just a specific category. Many promotion campaigns concern all wines of a region or a broad variety of wines sold by a given operator. To separate the actions concerning other wines from the actions concerning still wines within a promotion campaign would represent a heavy administrative burden and would undermine the positive effects of the promotion operation.

                     (14)

                     The emergency measure should be limited to a maximum period of 12 months starting from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. This period is necessary to allow promotion campaigns to be set up. The process includes several administrative steps such as changes to the national support programmes, the preparation and launch of calls for submissions, the selection of applications and conclusion of contracts, and it typically lasts more than 6 months Therefore, in order for the derogation to be implemented efficiently, the duration of the derogation should be 12 months. Applications selected after the 12 month period should not benefit from the increased Union contribution.

                     (15)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/164
         of 5 February 2020
         concerning the authorisation of 6-phytase produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) as a feed additive for all avian species and all swine species and repealing Regulation (EC) No 379/2009 (holder of authorisation Danisco (UK) Ltd, trading as Danisco Animal Nutrition and represented by Genencor International B.V.)
         (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 and renewing such authorisation.

                     (2)

                     6-phytase produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening and sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 379/2009 (2).

                     (3)

                     In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted by the holder of that authorisation for the renewal of the authorisation of 6-phytase produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening and sows, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and for a new use for all avian species for fattening other than chickens, turkeys and ducks and all avian species for laying other than hens and for all avian species reared for laying and breeding, suckling piglets and minor porcine species. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) and Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (4)

                     The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 5 April 2019 (3) that the applicant has provided data demonstrating that the additive complies with the conditions of authorisation. It was also concluded that the additive does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that the additive may have respiratory sensitisation potential. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users. The Authority concluded that the additive is efficacious in improving digestibility of feed for all avian species for fattening, for laying, reared for laying or for breeding purposes, and for all swine species. 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 6-phytase produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation for use of that additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                     (6)

         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Directive (EU) 2016/797 was amended by Directive (EU) 2020/700 (2) in order to give Member States the possibility to extend the deadline to bring into force the national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the provisions referred to in Article 57(1) Directive (EU) 2016/797.

                     (2)

The deadline for reviewing the specifications with a view to harmonising the requirements on the rear end signal of a freight train for the whole Union should be adapted accordingly.

                     (4)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (5)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 51(1) of Directive (EU) 2016/797.

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 is amended as follows:

         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1), and in particular Article 21(9) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Directive (EU) 2016/797 was amended by Directive (EU) 2020/700 (2) in order to give Member States the possibility to extend the deadline to bring into force the national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the provisions referred to in Article 57(1) Directive (EU) 2016/797.

                     The assessment of applications for a vehicle type authorisation or a vehicle authorisation for placing on the market in accordance with Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), for which the relevant authorisations had to be issued before 16 June 2020, might be delayed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, in the Member States that have notified the Agency and the Commission in accordance with Article 57(2) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and where Directive (EU) 2016/797 is to apply from 16 June 2020, the national safety authority (‘NSA’) should, at the request of the applicant, continue the assessment beyond that date. The NSA should finalise that assessment and issue the authorisation before 30 October 2020.

                     (3)

                     With regard to Member States that have notified the European Union Agency for Railways (‘the Agency’) and the Commission of their intention to extend the transposition period of Directive (EU) 2016/797 in accordance with Article 57(2a) thereof, the application of certain provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 (4) should be postponed and apply from 31 October 2020. Transitional provisions set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 should also be adapted.

                     (4)

                     Applicants may have compiled applications in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 in view to the current application deadline. For the purposes of both Directive 2008/57/EC and Directive (EU) 2016/797, vehicles are to comply with technical specifications for interoperability and relevant national rules and meet the essential requirements. Applications drawn up in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 should include all the necessary evidence for either the placing in service of vehicles under Directive 2008/57/EC or the placing on the market of vehicles under Directive (EU) 2016/797. Therefore, applicants should be allowed to submit, to national safety authorities in Member States that have notified the Agency and the Commission in accordance with Article 57(2a) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, applications which list evidence in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545. National safety authorities should accept those applications without requiring a revised application.

                     (5)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 should therefore be amended accordingly.
