         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/238
         of 20 February 2020
         concerning the authorisation of L-threonine 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, applications were submitted for the authorisation of L-threonine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80117 or by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80118 as a feed additive for use in feed for all animal species. These applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

                     (3)

                     Those applications concern the authorisation of L-threonine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80117 or by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80118 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 opinions of 22 January 2019 (2) (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-threonine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80117 or Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80118 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the additive is an efficacious source of the amino-acid L-threonine for all animal species and that in order to be as efficacious in ruminants as in non-ruminant species, the additive should be protected against degradation in the rumen. 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 L-threonine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80117 and by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80118 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this additive 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 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.

         terminating a ‘new exporter’ review of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China for one Chinese exporting producer, imposing the duty with regard to that producer’s imports and terminating the registration of these imports
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 11(4) and 14(5) thereof,
         Whereas:
         1.   MEASURES IN FORCE

                     (1)

                     By Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (2) (‘the original investigation’), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of 30,6 % on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the PRC’). Several trade defence investigations followed since then, amending the initial measures.

                     (2)

                     By Regulation (EU) No 502/2013 (3), the Council, following an interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, amended the measures. In that investigation, sampling was not applied for exporting producers in the PRC and the countrywide anti-dumping duty of 48,5 %, based on the dumping margin, established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/2005 (4), was maintained.

                     (3)

                     The measures currently in force are anti-dumping measures imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379 (5).

               2.   CURRENT INVESTIGATION

                     (4)

                     On 27 May 2019, the Commission received a request to initiate a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by Universal Cycle Corporation (Guangzhou) Co. Ltd. (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer of bicycles in the PRC, whose exports to the Union are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 48,5 %. The applicant claimed that it did not export bicycles to the Union during the investigation period on which the anti-dumping measures were based (1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011), that it began exporting the product under review to the Union as of September 2018, and that it was not related to any of the exporting producers of bicycles which are subject to the measures in force.

                     (5)

                     The Commission considered that the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant was sufficient to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After the Union producers had been given an opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2149 (6), a review of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379 with regard to the applicant.

                     (6)

                     Pursuant to Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2149, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379 was repealed with regard to the applicant. Simultaneously, pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation and as stated in Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2149, the Commission directed the customs authorities to register the applicant’s imports.

                     (7)

                     On 9 January 2020, the applicant formally withdrew its request for a ‘new exporter’ review. Consequently, the Commission considered that the review investigation should be terminated.

               3.   DISCLOSURE

                     (8)

                     The Commission informed the interested parties of the intention to terminate the review investigation, to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports from Universal Cycle Corporation (Guangzhou) Co. Ltd and to levy this duty retroactively on imports subject to registration under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2149. Interested parties were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.

               4.   RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF ANTI-DUMPING DUTY

                     (9)

                     In view of the findings outlined above, the Commission concluded that the review concerning imports of bicycles manufactured by the applicant and originating in the PRC should be terminated. Consequently, the registration of the applicant’s imports should cease and the country-wide duty applicable to all other companies (48,5 %), imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379, should be levied retroactively on these imports from the date of initiation of this review.

                     (10)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/968
         of 3 July 2020
         renewing the approval of the active substance pyriproxyfen 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 20(1) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Directive 2008/69/EC (2) included pyriproxyfen as an 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 pyriproxyfen, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 December 2020.

                     (4)

                     An application for the renewal of the approval of the active substance pyriproxyfen 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 14 December 2017.

                     (7)

                     The Authority made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public. The Authority also circulated the renewal assessment report to the applicants and to the Member States for comments and launched a public consultation on it. The Authority forwarded the comments received to the Commission.

                     (8)

                     On 17 May 2019, the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether pyriproxyfen 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 on pyriproxyfen to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 21 October 2019.

                     (9)

                     As regards the criteria to identify endocrine disrupting properties introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 (7), the conclusion of the Authority indicates that pyriproxyfen is not an endocrine disrupter.

                     (10)

                     The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the conclusion of the Authority and, in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 14(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, on the renewal report. The applicant submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.

                     (11)

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

                     (12)

                     The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of the active substance pyriproxyfen is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing pyriproxyfen may be authorised.

                     (13)

                     It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of pyriproxyfen.

                     (14)

                     In accordance with Article 14(1) 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 provide for certain conditions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

                     (15)

                     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.

                     (16)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1589 (8) extended the approval period of pyriproxyfen to 31 December 2020 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval period of that active substance. However, given that a decision on renewal of the approval is taken ahead of the expiry of that extended approval period, this Regulation should apply from 1 August 2020, except for the provision concerning toluene content specified in column ‘Purity’ of the table in Annex I, which should apply from 1 August 2021.

                     (17)

                     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 the active substance
            The approval of the active substance pyriproxyfen 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.

            Article 3
            Entry into force and date of application
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
            It shall apply from 1 August 2020.

            This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
