         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/2178
         of 15 December 2020
         correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1433 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’ (PDO))
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     On 5 October 2020, the Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1433 (2)approving an amendment to the specification of the designation ‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’ (PDO) in accordance with Article 52(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. The transitional period granted to certain operators by France under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 was omitted in error from the aforementioned Regulation (EU) 2020/1433.

                     (2)

                     By letter of 20 December 2018, the French authorities had in fact notified the Commission that a transitional period under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, ending on 30 June 2025, had been granted to eight operators established on their territory who meet the conditions laid down in that Article pursuant to the Order of 22 November 2018 on amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’, published on 8 December 2018 in the Official Journal of the French Republic.

                     (3)

                     Indeed, during the national opposition procedure, eight objections had been received, all of them concerning the conditions for milk production and, more specifically, the impossibility of complying with the proportion of feed originating in the geographical area as laid down in the specification, which states that ‘The feed produced in the geographical area (fodder + supplementary feed) represents at least 75 % of the dry matter of the total annual feed ration of the herd.’ Furthermore, these operators have legally marketed ‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’ continuously for at least five years prior to submission of the application, fulfilling the conditions of Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. Transitional periods ending on 30 June 2025 have therefore been granted to them in this context and must now be approved by the Commission.

                     (4)

                     The operators involved are: Earl de Vesche (SIRET No 50317689300017); Ferme des Ages (SIRET No 19360598700026); Gaec de Villiers (SIRET No 41293309500017); Jean Barrois (SIRET No 33452601900016); Earl des Grands vents (SIRET No 52325005800014); Earl du Start Chiebe (SIRET No 50979878100019); Gaec de la Custière (SIRET No 31928251300013); Gaec des Chinets (SIRET No 35328804600017).

                     (5)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1433 should therefore be corrected accordingly,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The following Article shall be added to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1433:

                  ‘Article 1a
                  The protection provided under Article 1 is subject to the transitional period granted by France under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 to operators meeting the conditions laid down in that Article, pursuant to the Order of 22 November 2018 on amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Pouligny-St-Pierre’ published on 8 December 2018 in the Official Journal of the French Republic.’

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/2179
         of 16 December 2020
         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 Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 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, 16 December 2020.

                  For the Commission,

                  On behalf of the President,

            ANNEX

                        Description of the goods

                        Classification (CN code)

                        Reasons

                        (1)

                        (2)

                        (3)

                        A rectangular bag consisting of a moulded silicone elastomer body. It measures approximately 16,5 cm in length, 10 cm in height and 2,5 cm in width. It has an attached loop-handle of the same material and a closing system (zip-fastener).
                        The article is produced in a single step, with integrated parts (loop-handle and zip-fastener), and has no internal fittings.
                        The article is designed to carry and protect various small objects.
                        See images (*1).

                        3926 90 97

                        Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3926 , 3926 90  and 3926 90 97 .
                        Classification under heading 4202  is excluded because that heading covers only the articles specifically named therein and similar containers (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 4202 , first paragraph).
                        Given its objective characteristics (in particular, the plain interior and the small size), the article is not considered to be a suitcase, vanity case, executive-case, briefcase, school satchel or similar container of the first part of heading 4202 . The article is not considered to be a similar container of the first part of heading 4202  as it is not specially shaped or internally fitted to contain particular tools with or without their accessories (see also the HSEN to heading 4202 , third paragraph, and ninth paragraph, point (f)). The article is therefore not covered by the wording of the first part of heading 4202 .
                        The articles covered by the second part of heading 4202  must be only of the materials specified therein or must be wholly or mainly covered with such materials or with paper (see also the HSEN to heading 4202 , fourth paragraph).
                        Taking into account that the article consists of moulded silicone elastomer, it cannot be considered as a handbag with an outer surface of sheeting of plastics. Therefore, the article is not covered by the wording of the second part of heading 4202 .
                        The article is not of the kind normally carried in the pocket or in the handbag, such as spectacle cases, note-cases (bill-folds), wallets, purses, key-cases, cigarette-cases, cigar-cases, pipe-cases and tobacco-pouches (see also the Harmonised System subheading explanatory note to subheadings 4202.31, 4202.32 and 4202.39). Therefore, the article cannot be classified under subheadings 4202.31, 4202.32 and 4202.39.
                        Consequently, the article is to be classified under CN code 3926 90 97  as other articles of plastics.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/2193
         of 16 December 2020
         amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 as regards the requirements for flight crew competence and training methods, and as regards the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Articles 23(1), 27(1) and 72(5) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 (2) lays down the training, testing and checking requirements for pilot licensing.

                     (2)

                     The European Plan for Aviation Safety adopted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (‘the Agency’) pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, identified that it is of key importance for aviation personnel to have the right competencies and that training methods need to be adapted to ensure that the personnel is able to cope with the new emerging technologies and the increasing complexity of the aviation system.

                     (3)

                     In 2013 the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published ‘Manual of evidence-based training’ (Doc 9995 AN/497), which contains the complete competency framework (‘core competencies’) with corresponding descriptions and related behavioural indicators to asses those competencies, encompassing what was previously known as technical and non-technical knowledge in pilot training, skills and attitudes. In that new approach, the training content is aligned with the actual competencies necessary to operate safely, effectively and efficiently in a commercial air transport environment.

                     (4)

                     The objective of evidence-based training (EBT) is to improve safety and to enhance the competencies of flight crews to safely operate the aircraft in all flight regimes and to be able to identify and manage unexpected situations. The EBT concept is designed to maximise learning and limit formal checking.

                     (5)

                     The alignment of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) as regards the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation is expected to increase legal certainty, support the Agency standardisation inspections in the area of the occurrence reporting, and support the implementation of effective occurrence-reporting systems as part of safety management.

                     (6)

                     Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (7)

                     The Agency has prepared draft implementing rules and submitted them with Opinion No 08/2019 (4) in accordance with points (b) and (c) of Article 75(2) and Article 76(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.

                     (8)

                     Negotiations between the Union and certain third countries are still ongoing, including on the conversion of pilot licences and associated medical certificates. In order to ensure that Member States may continue to recognise third country licences and medical certificates for an interim period in light of those negotiations, it is necessary to prolong the period during which Member States may decide not to apply the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 in their territory to pilots holding a licence and associated medical certificate issued by a third country involved in the non-commercial operation of certain aircraft.

                     (9)

                     Furthermore, the amendments to Appendix 1 of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, which were introduced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1974 (5) and which will apply as of 31 January 2022, should be aligned with the amendments to that Appendix introduced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/359 (6).

                     (10)

                     The Regulation should also be amended to correct certain technical errors, which were contained in previous amendments, as well as provide clarification for certain provisions.

                     (11)

                     Amendments related to the basic instrument rating should become applicable on the same date as the related provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/359, namely on 8 September 2021.

                     (12)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Amendments to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011
            Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 is amended as follows:

                        in Article 12(4), ‘20 June 2021’ is replaced by ‘20 June 2022’;

                        (2)

                        Annexes I, VI and VII are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;

                        (3)

                        Annexes I and VI are corrected in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
