         COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1792
   of 29 September 2016
   replacing Annexes A, B and C to Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings
   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 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings (1), and in particular Article 45 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Annexes A, B and C to Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 list the designations given in the national legislation of the Member States to the proceedings and liquidators to which that Regulation applies. Annex A lists the insolvency proceedings referred to in Article 2(a), Annex B lists the winding-up proceedings referred to in Article 2(c) and Annex C lists the liquidators referred to in Article 2(b) of that Regulation.

               (2)

Those amendments comply with the requirements set out in that Regulation. Since those amendments are already in force, this Regulation should therefore enter into force as soon as possible.

               (3)

               The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 and, by virtue of Article 45 of that Regulation, are therefore taking part in the adoption and application of this Regulation.

               (4)

               In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application.

               (5)

               Annexes A, B and C to Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annexes A, B and C to Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

                  L 205/12

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1253
      of 29 July 2016
      amending Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 as regards the data exchange between customs authorities and national statistical authorities and the compilation of statistics
      (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 471/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of 6 May 2009 on Community statistics relating to the external trade with non-member countries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 (1), and in particular Articles 6(1) and 7(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of European statistics relating to the trading of goods with non-member countries. The main data source for those statistics is data obtained from customs declarations. That Regulation was set up to take account of specific and new customs clearance simplifications to become implemented under Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (‘the Modernised Customs Code’). This concerned especially ‘self-assessment’ which was to include a waiver to provide a declaration to customs and the scheme of Centralised Clearance where customs import or export formalities could be fulfilled in more than one Member State.

                  (2)

                  Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (‘the Union Customs Code’) repealed the Modernised Customs Code and replaced from 1 May 2016 the customs provisions provided by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (4)

                  (3)

                  Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578 (5) lays down the work programme referred to in Article 280 of the Union Customs Code and relates to the electronic customs systems which are to be developed under it.

                  (4)

                  Until those electronic systems become available, Commission Delegated Regulation (EC) No 2016/341 (6) (‘the Transitional Delegated Act’) provides for transitional measures for the exchange and storage of information between the customs authorities themselves and between the customs authorities and the economic operators

                  (5)

                  Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 was implemented by Commission Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 (7).

                  (6)

                  It is necessary to adapt Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 to provisions of the Union Customs Code with regard to the specific procedures for data exchange between customs authorities and national statistical authorities, especially with the respect to the customs simplification referred to as centralised clearance provided for in Article 179 of the Union Customs Code.

                  (7)

                  The agreement of customs authorities on a simplification for drawing up the customs declarations for goods falling under different tariff subheadings, should be reflected in the compiled statistics.

                  (8)

                  To obtain information on economically relevant movements between Member States following the customs clearance, on imports or preceding it, on exports, measures should be taken aiming at identifying the concerned Member States for trade statistics purposes.

                  (9)

                  Amendments requiring an adjustment of the data transmission from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) should only become applicable to the monthly reference periods, starting with reference month January 2017.

                  (10)

                  Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 should be amended accordingly.

                  (11)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on statistics relating to the trading of goods with non-member countries,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 is amended as follows:

                  (1)

                  Article 1 is replaced by the following:
                  ‘Article 1
                  Data exchange modalities between customs authorities and national statistical authorities
                  1.   For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:

                              (a)

                              “Centralised clearance in the transitional period” means centralised clearance as referred to in Article 179 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the Union Customs Code (*) (“the Union Customs Code”), which involves customs authorities of more than one Member State, and where the means of exchange of information between the customs authorities is covered by Article 18 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/341 (**);

                              (b)

                              “automated centralised clearance” means centralised clearance which involves customs authorities of more than one Member State and where the means of exchange of information between the customs authorities is covered by the respective transnational electronic system for centralised clearance for import or export as specified in the work programme referred to in Article 280 of the Union Customs Code (***).

                        2.   National customs authorities shall provide their national statistical authorities without delay and at the latest during the month following the month the customs declarations were accepted or were subject to decisions by customs pertaining to them, with the records on imports and exports from customs declarations:

                              (a)

                              which were lodged with them; or

                              (b)

                              for which the supplementary declaration is, in accordance with Article 225 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (****), available to them through direct electronic access in the authorisation holder's system.
                              The customs authorities shall provide the national statistical authorities with revised records on imports and exports where statistical data already provided are amended or changed.

                        The obligation to provide records from the customs declarations to the national statistical authority shall not apply to customs declarations covered by automated centralised clearance which are to be provided to another Member State pursuant to paragraph 3.
                  The first subparagraph shall not affect the rights of national statistical authorities on their access to and the use of administrative records as referred to in Article 17a of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*****).
                  3.   With effect from the date of the implementation of the mechanism for mutual data exchange by electronic means pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 471/2009, which shall mean, as soon as the respective Member State applies automated Centralised Clearance, the following shall apply:
                  Where a customs declaration is covered by automated centralised clearance, the customs authority at which that customs declaration is lodged shall ensure that copies of the data of that customs declaration are transmitted under the same time frame as set out under paragraph 2 first subparagraph to the customs authority of the Member State where the goods are located at the time of release into the customs procedure. The obligation to transmit the data shall also refer to a customs declaration where the supplementary declaration is, in accordance with Article 225 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, available through direct electronic access in the authorisation holder's system,
                  Transmission is considered to be ensured and the time frame respected where the transmission between Member States takes place under the arrangements provided for in Articles 231 and 232 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
                  The receiving customs authority shall forward the data without delay to their national statistical authority. This shall, however, not affect the rights of the national statistical authorities on their access to and the use of administrative records referred to in Article 17a of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009.
                  4.   The customs authorities shall verify, at the request of the national statistical authorities, the correctness and completeness of the records on imports and exports provided by them.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/879
   of 2 June 2016
   establishing, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, detailed arrangements relating to the declaration of conformity when placing refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons on the market and its verification by an independent auditor
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (1), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 allows placing on the market of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons, if the hydrofluorocarbons contained in the equipment are accounted for within the quota system referred to in Chapter IV of that Regulation. When placing pre-charged equipment on the market, manufacturers and importers of the equipment are to document compliance with that requirement and to draw up a declaration of conformity in that respect.

               (2)

               In drawing up the declarations of conformity and documentation, it is necessary to provide for the different options reflecting the different ways of ensuring compliance available to manufacturer and importers. These options refer to placing on the market equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons subject to an authorisation pursuant to Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons that have previously been placed on the market as bulk and subsequently re-exported and charged into the equipment outside the Union and equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons in the Union. Different type of documents are required from importers and manufacturers reflecting the different type of activities carried out by these undertakings.

               (3)

               To ensure that declarations of conformity based on authorisations pursuant to Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 are credible, it is important to ensure that such authorisations can be traced. In this respect, these authorisations should be duly registered in the registry established pursuant to Article 17 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               To provide guidance for the third party verification of the declaration of conformity and underlying documentation required by Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, the scope of this verification, as well as the modalities for the submission of the verification documents should be determined.

               (5)

               For reasons of consistency, it is necessary that the relevant provisions laid down in this Regulation and the relevant provisions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 apply from the same dates.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 24 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

The declaration of conformity shall be signed by a legal representative of the manufacturer or importer of equipment.
   2.   In case of imports of equipment referred to in Article 1, the importer shall ensure that a copy of the declaration of conformity is available to the customs authorities at the time the customs declaration related to the release for free circulation in the Union is submitted.
   3.   A declaration of conformity may only refer to an authorisation referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 if the authorisation is duly registered in the registry established pursuant to Article 17 of that Regulation.
   Article 2

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 860/2014
   of 5 August 2014
   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 three months.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   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.
      Done at Brussels, 5 August 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Martine REICHERTS

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product consisting of a luminous disc (so-called ‘luminous frisbee’) and a hand-operated launch system with retractable string, made of plastics. The disc contains battery powered LEDs.
                  The luminous disc is to be released in the air by tugging the string. It may be propelled up to a distance of 20 m before landing on the ground.
                  It is presented for use as a flying propeller toy.
                  See image (1)

                  9503 00 95

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9503 and 9503 00 95.
                  It follows from the objective characteristics of the product that it is intended to be used as a flying propeller toy and not as an outdoor game article or equipment associated with the exertion of a physical activity. It is not comparable to a ‘frisbee’, within the meaning of the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature, subheading 9506 99 90, that is used in throwing and catching games. Classification under heading 9506 as articles or equipment for outdoor games is therefore excluded.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9503 00 95 as other toys of plastics.

   establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
   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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XVI, Part A thereto.

               (2)

               The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

   Article 1
   The standard import values referred to in Article 136 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 are fixed in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/388
   of 5 March 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 three months.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   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.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A plastic sheet with dimensions of 62 cm × 52 cm × 150 μm containing 24 antennae. Each antenna is constituted of copper wires in the form of windings of a planar rectangular shape and is connected with two interface pads. The antennae are presented in an array of 8 × 3 and are glued alongside each other on the plastic sheet.
                  The plastic sheet does not contain electronic chips.
                  The antennae are presented to be used as parts of smart cards.
                  See image (1)

                  8504 50 95

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(a) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8504, 8504 50 and 8504 50 95.
                  As the antennae are constituted only of windings acting as inductors, they fall in heading 8504 as inductors. Consequently, classification under heading 8548 as parts not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85 is excluded.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 50 95 as other inductors.
