   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [‘Saint-Nectaire’ (PDO)]
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Saint-Nectaire’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2015/1003 (3).

               (2)

               By letter of 7 March 2017, the French authorities notified the Commission that a transitional period under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, ending on 31 December 2021, had been granted to two operators that are established on their territory and meet the conditions of that Article in accordance with the Order of 15 February 2017 on the protected designation of origin ‘Saint-Nectaire’ published on 23 February 2017 in the Official Journal of the French Republic. During the national objection procedure, these operators, who legally marketed ‘Saint-Nectaire’ continuously for at least the five years prior to lodging the application, lodged an objection relating to the livestock density per hectare of the principal forage area, with a reduction in stocking density from 1,4 to 1,3 livestock units per hectare. The operators in question are: GAEC Noilhat, Noilhat 63690 Tauves and GAEC de l'Eau verte, Lamur, 63113 Picherande.

               (3)

               Since the amendments in question are not minor within the meaning of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (4) as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation.

               (4)

               As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name ‘Saint-Nectaire’ (PDO) are hereby approved.
   Article 2
   The protection provided under Article 1 is subject to the transitional period granted by France pursuant to the Order of 15 February 2017 on the protected designation of origin ‘Saint-Nectaire’, published on 23 February 2017 in the Official Journal of the French Republic under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, to operators meeting the conditions of that Article.

   renewing the approval of the low-risk active substance laminarin in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   (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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22(1) in conjunction with Article 20(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Directive 2005/3/EC (2) included laminarin as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3).

               (2)

               Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

               (3)

               The approval of the active substance laminarin, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 July 2018.

               (4)

               An application for the renewal of the approval of laminarin was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article.

               (5)

               The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

               (6)

               The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 22 April 2016.

               (7)

               The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

               (8)

               On 3 May 2017 the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether the active substance laminarin can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft renewal report for laminarin to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 5 October 2017.

               (9)

               The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the renewal report.

               (10)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing laminarin that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of laminarin.

               (11)

               The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of laminarin is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing laminarin may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate to remove the restriction for use only as an elicitor.

               (12)

               The Commission further considers that laminarin is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Laminarin is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in point 5 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Laminarin is a polysaccharide found in brown algae and naturally ocurring in the environment. The additional exposure of humans, animals and the environment by the uses approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is expected to be negligible compared to natural exposure.

               (13)

               It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of laminarin as a low-risk substance.

               (14)

               In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (15)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/841 (7) extended the approval period of laminarin in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. However, given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of the extended expiry date, this Regulation should apply from 1 March 2018.

               (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:
   Article 1
   Renewal of the approval of active substance
   The approval of the low-risk active substance laminarin is renewed as set out in Annex I.
   Article 2
   Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

               (3)

               The approval of the active substance acetamiprid, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 30 April 2018.

               (4)

               An application for the renewal of the approval of acetamiprid was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article.

               (5)

               The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

               (6)

               The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 27 November 2015.

               (7)

               The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

               (8)

               On 19 October 2016 the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether acetamiprid can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft renewal report for acetamiprid to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 23 January 2017.

               (9)

               The applicant was given the opportunity to submit comments on the draft renewal report.

               (10)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing acetamiprid that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of acetamiprid.

               (11)

               The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of acetamiprid is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing acetamiprid may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate to remove the restriction to use only as an insecticide.

               (12)

               The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (13)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2016 (7) extended the approval period of acetamiprid to 30 April 2018 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. However, given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of that extended expiry date, this Regulation should apply from 1 March 2018.

               (14)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/129
      of 25 January 2018
      concerning the authorisation of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80099 as a feed additive for all animal species
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

                  (2)

                  In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80099 as a feed additive for use in feed and in water for drinking. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (3)

                  That application concerns the authorisation of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80099 as a feed additive for all animal species to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 17 May 2017 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80099 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment and that no safety concerns for users would arise provided that appropriate protective measures are taken.

                  (5)

                  The Authority also concluded that the additive is an effective source of the amino acid arginine for all animal species and that for the supplemental L-arginine to be fully efficacious in ruminants, it should be protected against degradation in the rumen. The Authority expressed in its opinions a concern over the safety of L-arginine when administered via water for drinking. However, no maximum content for L-arginine is proposed by the Authority. Moreover, the Authority recommends supplementation with L-arginine in appropriate amounts. Thus, it is in the case of supplementation with L-arginine, particularly via drinking water appropriate to alert the user to take into account the dietary supply with all the essential and conditionally essential amino acids.

                  (6)

                  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.

                  (7)

                  The assessment of L-arginine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80099 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (8)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      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.

               One such physico-chemical characteristic is the saponification number. ‘Fuel oils’ of additional note 2(f), first paragraph, first indent shall have a saponification number of less than 4. This rule applies to products in subheadings 2710 19 51 to 2710 19 68. However, an exception is made for products in subheadings 2710 20 31 to 2710 20 39 (products containing fatty acid mono-alkyl esters or ‘FAMAE’) where the saponification number exceeds 4. That exception is currently set out in a footnote to additional note 2(f).

               (4)

               The exception currently in a footnote to additional note 2(f) needs to be extended to take account of developments in technology, in particular the development of renewable fuels containing animal or vegetable fats or oils. It also needs to be extended to tackle the potential for the counterfeiting of diesel fuels that is generally achieved by adding small quantities of vegetable or animal fats or oils to gas oils in order to change their classification from gas oils (which are subject to excise duties) to other products (which are not subject to excise duties). In particular, the addition of vegetable oils serves to change the distillation parameter and to obtain a saponification number equal to or exceeding 4. The addition of small quantities of such substances does not change their essential character as fuel oils from a physico-chemical point of view. They are still used as fuel oils. Removing the requirement in these cases for the saponification number to be less than 4 will therefore ensure that such products are classified correctly as fuel oils, not as other products.

               (5)

               The current exception for products containing FAMAE also needs to be extended so that it covers products where the saponification number equals 4, not just products where it exceeds 4.

               (6)

               Additional note 2(f) to Chapter 27 should be amended accordingly to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.

               (7)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, additional note 2(f) is amended as follows:

               (1)

               in the first paragraph, the first indent, including the footnote, is replaced by the following:

                           ‘—

                           not exceeding that shown in line I of the following table when the sulphated ashes content is less than 1 % by the ISO 3987 method and the saponification number is less than 4 by the ISO 6293-1 or 6293-2 method (except where the product contains one or more bio-components, in which case the requirement in this indent for the saponification number to be less than 4 does not apply),’;

               (2)

               the following fourth paragraph is inserted:
               ‘The term “bio-components” means animal or vegetable fats, animal or vegetable oils, or mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids (FAMAE).’.

         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.

      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

                  (2)

                  In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (BCCM/MUCL 49755). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (3)

                  The application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (BCCM/MUCL 49755) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 25 January 2017 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (BCCM/MUCL 49755) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that the additive is considered efficacious in improving final body weight and feed to gain ration in pigs for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (5)

                  The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (BCCM/MUCL 49755) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (6)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      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.

               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.
