         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/723
         of 2 May 2019
         laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the standard model form to be used in the annual reports submitted by 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 (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 113(2) and point (f) of the first paragraph of Article 134 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 provides that each Member State is to submit to the Commission, by 31 August every year, an annual report on its official controls, cases of non-compliance and implementation of its multi-annual national control plan (MANCP). The first such report is to be submitted by 31 August 2021.

                     (2)

                     A standard model form should be adopted in order to ensure the uniform presentation of Member States' annual reports.

                     (3)

                     The standard model form to be used in the annual reports submitted by Member States should integrate other existing standard model forms adopted by the Commission for the submission of reports on official controls that the competent authorities are required to submit to the Commission in accordance with the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. This is to avoid multiple reporting and creating unnecessary administrative burdens.

                     (4)

                     It should be mandatory for Member States to complete the standard model form in electronic format as this will facilitate the compilation of information and data, as well as avoid transcription errors.

                     (5)

                     To allow for the use of advanced communication and the most efficient use of the data and information contained in the annual reports, the standard model form should be provided in the computerised information management system for official controls (IMSOC) and Member States should transmit the annual reports using IMSOC.

                     (6)

                     The standard model form sets out certain information and data to be reported by Member States to the Commission, including information and data on the welfare of animals kept for farming purposes. Commission Decision 2006/778/EC (2) currently sets out the requirements for the collection of information during the inspections of production sites on which certain animals are kept for farming purposes and the reporting of such information to the Commission. In the interests of coherence and legal certainty, Decision 2006/778/EC should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.

                     (7)

                     The standard model form also includes information and data on the protection of animals during transport to be reported by the Member States to the Commission. Commission Implementing Decision 2013/188/EU (3) currently lays down rules on the annual reports of inspections on the protection of animals during transport. For the sake of coherence and legal certainty, Implementing Decision 2013/188/EU should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.

                     (8)

                     As Regulation (EU) 2017/625 applies with effect from 14 December 2019, this Regulation should also apply from that date.

                     (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:

            Article 3

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/724
         of 10 May 2019
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 as regards the nomination of rapporteur Member States and co-rapporteur Member States for the active substances glyphosate, lambda-cyhalothrin, imazamox and pendimethalin and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 as regards the possibility that a group of Member States assumes jointly the role of the rapporteur Member State
         (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 19 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 (2) allocates the evaluation of an active substance to a rapporteur Member State and to a co-rapporteur Member State for the purposes of the renewal procedure. Since the evaluations of the active substances glyphosate, imazamox and pendimethalin have not yet been allocated to a rapporteur Member State or to a co-rapporteur Member State and their approval expires between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2024, it is appropriate to proceed with such allocation.

                     (2)

                     That allocation should be made in such a way that a balance is achieved as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States.

                     (3)

                     In exceptional cases, the expected workload and the complexity related to the evaluation of a specific active substance might exceed the capacities of a single Member State as a rapporteur supported by a single co-rapporteur Member State. In these cases, a broader repartition of the workload and a pooling of expertise of several Member States may be warranted by designating a group of Member States acting jointly as rapporteur Member State. It should therefore be clarified that it is possible that the role of the rapporteur Member State can be assumed jointly by a group of Member States. In this case, an appointment of a co-rapporteur Member State is not needed. Accordingly, where several Member States perform jointly the role as rapporteur Member State, they should agree on the modalities of the work organisation. Against this background, the evaluation of the active substance glyphosate should be allocated to a group of Member States acting jointly as rapporteur Member State.

                     (4)

                     For imazamox the evaluation should be allocated to Greece as rapporteur Member State and to Italy as co-rapporteur Member State.

                     (5)

                     For pendimethalin the evaluation should be allocated to Sweden as rapporteur Member State and to the Netherlands as co-rapporteur Member State.

                     (6)

                     In agreement with the Member States concerned, it is also considered necessary to change the rapporteur Member State for the active substance lambda-cyhalothrin while respecting the balance as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States. The evaluation for the purposes of the renewal procedure for lambda-cyhalothrin should be allocated to Greece as rapporteur Member State, while the allocation to France as co-rapporteur remains unchanged.

                     (7)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (3) provides for the implementation of the renewal procedure for active substances as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

                     (8)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 provides for the handling of applications and the subsequently submitted supplementary dossiers and their assessment by one Member State as rapporteur Member State supported by one Member State acting as co-rapporteur Member State. However, the procedural modalities should be clarified for the exceptional cases referred to above, where the evaluation is allocated to a group of Member States acting jointly as rapporteur Member State in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012. This group should jointly assume the role given to the rapporteur Member State by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012.

                     (9)

                     The possibilities to require fees and charges in accordance with Article 74 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 should be clarified for the renewal procedure.

                     (10)

                     Implementing Regulations (EU) No 686/2012 and (EU) No 844/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (11)

                     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:
