         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1330/2014
   of 15 December 2014
   approving the active substance meptyldinocap, 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 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For meptyldinocap the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2006/589/EC (3).

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 12 August 2005 an application from Dow AgroSciences, for the inclusion of the active substance meptyldinocap in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2006/589/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.

               (3)

               For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State, the United Kingdom, submitted a draft assessment report on 25 October 2006. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 17 May 2011. The evaluation of the additional data by the United Kingdom was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report on 10 August 2012.

               (4)

               The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (5) on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance meptyldinocap on 26 November 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 10 October 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for meptyldinocap.

               (5)

               It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing meptyldinocap may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve meptyldinocap.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

               (7)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.

               (8)

               Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing meptyldinocap. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.

               (9)

               The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties, it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should 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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 126/2012
   of 14 February 2012
   amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 as regards documentary evidence and amending Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from the United States of America
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(c) and (d) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 requires control authorities and control bodies to provide documentary evidence to the operators subject to their controls.

               (2)

               According to Article 28(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, operators who export products produced in compliance with the production rules laid down in that Regulation must submit their undertaking to the control system referred to in Article 27 of that Regulation.

               (3)

               Under that control system and in the light of the production rules established by Article 14(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and by Article 24 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 of 5 September 2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control (2), the control authorities and the control bodies currently verify the livestock records of the operator, including regarding veterinary treatment and the use of antibiotics. In the light of this concrete application of the control system and in the interest of organic livestock producers in the Union, it is appropriate to ensure the identification of certain production methods not using antibiotics when such identification is requested by the operator. Adequate information about the specific characteristics of the production method is also needed in order to facilitate the market access to the United States. Those specific characteristics should be attested through complementary documentary evidence provided in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, in addition to the documentary evidence referred to in Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008.

               (4)

               Certain agricultural products imported from the United States are currently marketed in the Union pursuant to the transitional rules provided for in Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 of 8 December 2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries (3). The United States submitted a request to the Commission to be included in the list provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. It submitted the information required pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 of that Regulation. The examination of that information and subsequent discussions with the US authorities have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing the production and controls of organic agricultural products are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. The Commission has carried out a satisfactory on-the-spot check of the rules of production and the control measures actually applied in the United States, as provided for in Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. Consequently, the United States should be included in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.

               (5)

               Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 contains a list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence. As a consequence of the inclusion of the United States in Annex III to that Regulation, the relevant US control bodies and control authorities should be deleted from Annex IV to the extent that they control production in the United States.

               (6)

               Regulations (EC) No 889/2008 and (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               (2)

               Article 68 is replaced by the following:
               ‘Article 68
               Documentary evidence
               1.   For the purpose of the application of Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 the control authorities and control bodies shall use the model of the documentary evidence set out in Annex XII to this Regulation.
               2.   If an operator subject to the controls of the control authorities and control bodies as referred to in paragraph 1 so requests within a time period to be indicated by those control authorities and control bodies, the control authorities and control bodies shall provide complementary documentary evidence confirming the specific characteristics of the production method used by means of the model set out in Annex XIIa.
               Applications for complementary documentary evidence shall contain in box 2 of the model set out in Annex XIIa the relevant entry listed in Annex XIIb.’;

               (3)

               in the title of Annex XII, the reference to ‘Article 68’ is replaced by a reference to ‘Article 68(1)’;

               (4)

               Annexes XIIa and XIIb are inserted as set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

   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 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For penthiopyrad the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/466/EU (3).

               (2)

               (3)

               For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 31 January 2012.

               (4)

               The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance penthiopyrad (4) on 7 February 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 3 October 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for penthiopyrad.

               (5)

               It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing penthiopyrad may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve penthiopyrad.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

               (7)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.

               (8)

               Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing penthiopyrad. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.

               (9)

               The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Approval of active substance
   The active substance penthiopyrad, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Re-evaluation of plant protection products
   1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing penthiopyrad as an active substance by 31 October 2014.
   By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
   2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing penthiopyrad as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 April 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
   Following that determination Member States shall:

               (a)

               in the case of a product containing penthiopyrad as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 at the latest; or

               (b)

               in the case of a product containing penthiopyrad as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

         Article 3
   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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/386
   of 6 March 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 laying down requirements for the performance and the interoperability of surveillance for the single European sky
   (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 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management network (the interoperability Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
   After consulting the Single Sky Committee,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (2) lays down requirements on the systems contributing to the provision of surveillance data, their constituents and associated procedures in order to ensure the harmonisation of performance, the interoperability and the efficiency of those systems within the European air traffic management network and for the purpose of civil-military coordination.

               (2)

               In order to be able to equip aircraft with new or upgraded capabilities, operators need to have the necessary equipment specifications by the dates specified in Articles 5(4) and 5(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011. However, the relevant certification specifications developed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (‘the Agency’) are to a certain extent inconsistent with the requirements of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 and should be realigned and made consistent with those requirements. Consequently, not all operators have been able to equip their new aircraft with the new functionalities ADS-B ‘Out’ and Mode S Enhanced by 8 June 2016.

               (3)

               In addition, stakeholders have reported that, currently, equipped airborne constituents of the surveillance systems are not always compliant with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011. This applies especially to previously deployed Mode S Elementary transponders which appear not to comply with the most recent standard (ED-73E) as provided in the relevant certification specifications of the Agency. The non-compliant Mode S Elementary transponders will need to be made compliant by upgrading them. Considering the requirement to also equip the aircraft with the ADS-B and Mode S Enhanced functionalities, a single upgrade of the airborne constituents with the three functionalities should be necessary for cost efficiency reasons.

               (4)

               Therefore, the dates by which operators are to comply with the relevant interoperability requirements of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should be amended, so as to give them sufficient additional time. Taking into account the additional delays in the certification and in the availability of the required equipment that affect the smooth retrofitting of the existing fleet, it is no longer appropriate to distinguish in this regard between aircraft based on the date of their individual certificate of airworthiness.

               (5)

               To comply with their obligations in terms of spectrum protection set out in Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011, Member States need to ensure that air navigation service providers have the necessary measurement tools and means of compliance in order to avoid the production of harmful interference by ground-based surveillance systems. Taking into account that those means of compliance and tools are not readily available and that the dates by which operators are to comply with the relevant interoperability requirements are now amended, the dates by which Member States are to comply with the relevant spectrum protection requirements of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should be amended as well, so as to give Member States sufficient additional time to comply with their obligations.

               (6)

               In order to ensure consistency, operators of State aircraft should benefit from similar postponements in implementation dates as operators of other aircraft. The dates by which Member States are to ensure that State aircraft are compliant with the relevant requirements of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should therefore also be amended. The dates concerning the exemptions to certain categories of aircraft laid down in that Implementing Regulation should be adjusted as well in order to retain the practical effect of those rules, and the references in Annex II thereto should be updated.

               (7)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 699/2013
   of 19 July 2013
   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 which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (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 issued by the customs authorities of Member States which is not in accordance with this Regulation can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   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, 19 July 2013.

            For the Commission, On behalf of the President,

      (2)  OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1.

      ANNEX

                  Description of goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                              1.

                              Cat litter composed of natural bentonite clay that has been dried and treated with an anti-bacterial agent and mixed with activated carbon to prevent the growth of bacteria and odour. The bentonite clay constitutes more than 94 % by weight of the product.
                              The product is sold to consumers in various pack sizes.

                  3824 90 97

                  Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824, 3824 90 and 3824 90 97.
                  The product has been obtained by mixing of bentonite clay with an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon. Classification as other clays of heading 2508 is therefore excluded (Note 1 to Chapter 25).
                  The addition of an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon does not alter the form or the character of the constituent material. Classification of the product under heading 6815 as an article of stone or of mineral substances not elsewhere specified is therefore also excluded (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 68, General, third paragraph).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included.

                              2.

                              Cat litter composed of round and oval shaped translucent granules of silicon dioxide (silica gel). The product includes a visible quantity of coloured granules.
                              The coloured granules are obtained by the addition of a blue dye.
                              The product is sold to consumers in various pack sizes.

                  3824 90 97

                  Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824, 3824 90 and 3824 90 97.
                  The blue colour is added solely for commercial or promotional reasons but not for identification of the silicon dioxide. Moreover, silicon dioxide in granular form does not pose a threat to safety. Classification under heading 2811 is therefore excluded (Note 1(e) to Chapter 28).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included.

                   (3).

               (3)

               As no statement of objection under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 has been received by the Commission, the name ‘Plátano de Canarias’ should therefore be entered in the register,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
