         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/833
   of 28 May 2015
   initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China by imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and Taiwan or not, and making such imports subject to registration
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
   After having informed the Member States,
   Whereas:
   A.   REQUEST

               (1)

               The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China and to make imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and Taiwan or not, subject to registration.

               (2)

               The request was lodged on 15 April 2015 by SolarWorld AG, a Union producer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) and hence an interested party in the meaning of Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation.

         B.   PRODUCT

               (3)

               The product concerned by the possible circumvention is crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels (the cells have a thickness not exceeding 400 micrometres), currently falling within CN codes ex 8501 31 00, ex 8501 32 00, ex 8501 33 00, ex 8501 34 00, ex 8501 61 20, ex 8501 61 80, ex 8501 62 00, ex 8501 63 00, ex 8501 64 00 and ex 8541 40 90 and originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China, unless they are in transit in the sense of Article V GATT (‘the product concerned’).

               (4)

               The following product types are excluded from the definition of the product concerned:

                           —

                           solar chargers that consist of less than six cells, are portable and supply electricity to devices or charge batteries,

                           —

                           thin film photovoltaic products,

                           —

                           crystalline silicon photovoltaic products that are permanently integrated into electrical goods, where the function of the electrical goods is other than power generation, and where these electrical goods consume the electricity generated by the integrated crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell(s),

                           —

                           modules or panels with a output voltage not exceeding 50 V DC and a power output not exceeding 50 W solely for direct use as battery chargers in systems with the same voltage and power characteristics.

               (5)

               The product under investigation is the same as that defined in recitals (3) and (4) above, but consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and Taiwan or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).

         C.   EXISTING MEASURES

               (6)

               The measures currently in force and prima facie being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 (2) (‘the existing measures’).

         D.   GROUNDS

               (7)

               The request contains sufficient evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by imports of the product under investigation consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan.

               (8)

               The evidence submitted is as follows.

               (9)

               The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Taiwan to the Union has taken place following the imposition of the measures, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.

               (10)

               This change appears to stem from the consignment of the product concerned via Malaysia and Taiwan to the Union. However, the investigation covers any practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty.

               (11)

               Furthermore, the request contains sufficient evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.

               (12)

               Finally, the request contains sufficient evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established.

         E.   PROCEDURE

               (13)

               In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and Taiwan or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.

         (a)   Questionnaires

               (14)

               In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Malaysia and Taiwan, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Taiwan. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.

               (15)

               In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than within the time limits set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.

               (16)

               The authorities of the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Taiwan will be notified accordingly of the initiation of the investigation.

         (b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings

               (17)

               All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.

         (c)   Exemption of registration of imports or measures

               (18)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.

               (19)

               Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers in Malaysia and Taiwan of the product under investigation that can show that they are not related (3) to any producer subject to the existing measures (4) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.

         F.   REGISTRATION

               (20)

               Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan was imposed.

         G.   CUSTOMS DECLARATION

               (21)

               Statistics on crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) are frequently expressed in Watt. However, there is no such supplementary unit for crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) specified in the Combined Nomenclature laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5). It is therefore necessary to provide that not only the weight in kg or tonnes but also the number of Watt for the imports of the product under investigation must be entered in the declaration for release for free circulation. The number of Watt shall be indicated for TARIC codes 8541409022, 8541409023, 8541409032 and 8541409033.

         H.   TIME LIMITS

               (22)

               In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:

                           —

                           interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,

                           —

                           producers in Malaysia and Taiwan may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,

                           —

                           interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.

               (23)

               Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.

         I.   NON-COOPERATION

               (24)

               In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.

               (25)

               Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

               (26)

               If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

               (27)

               Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

         J.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION

               (28)

               The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.

         K.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

               (29)

               It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

         L.   HEARING OFFICER

               (30)

               Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.

               (31)

               A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

               (32)

               The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered on issues pertaining, among other things, the existence of a change in the pattern of trade, (in-)sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change, the undermining of the remedial effects of the existing measures, dumping with regard to the normal value previously established.

               (33)

               For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on DG Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/,

   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 178 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1375/2007 (2) lays down provisions to ensure that residues from the manufacture of starch from maize imported from the United States of America conform to the agreed tariff definition. Annex I to that Regulation contains a model of a certificate of conformity issued by the United States wet milling industry.

               (2)

               The company acknowledging receipt of the producers' certificates and issuing a certificate of conformity has changed. Therefore, the name of the company on the certificate of conformity needs to be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               To allow for using of certificates issued before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, a respective provision should be laid down.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 1375/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1375/2007, the model of ‘Certificate of Conformity’ is replaced by the model set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1375/2007 before the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall continue to be valid.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 110/2013
   of 6 February 2013
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Gruyère (PGI)]
   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(3)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2), France’s application to register the name ‘Gruyère’ as a protected geographical indication (PGI) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3).

               (2)

               Australia, New Zealand and the US Dairy Export Council together with the National Milk Producers Federation of the United States submitted objections to the registration pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. These objections were deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

               (3)

               The objections concerned non-compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, in particular as regards the fact that the name does not refer to a geographical area. The generic nature of the name and the harm caused to names, trademarks and products that have been legally on the market for at least five years preceding the date of publication provided for in Article 6(2) were also invoked. The objections further claimed that registration of the name in question would be contrary to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.

               (4)

               By letters of 23 May 2011, the Commission asked France and the objectors to seek agreement among themselves.

               (5)

               Given that no agreement was reached within the designated timeframe, the Commission should adopt a decision.

               (6)

               Concerning the alleged failure of the name ‘Gruyère’ to comply with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, it should be noted that this name is a traditional name within the meaning of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and may therefore be registered.

               (7)

               The objectors submitted several pieces of evidence that show, according to them, that the name in question is generic. It is, however, clear that the inclusion of a term given in Annex B to the Stresa Convention of 1951 does not imply that the said term has become ipso facto generic. Tariff codes and other similar provisions regarding the name ‘Gruyère’ relate specifically to customs issues and are therefore in no way relevant to the protection of intellectual property rights or to consumer protection. Furthermore, the data submitted concerning, in particular, the production of ‘Gruyère’ outside the European Union are not relevant considering the principle of territoriality, according to which the generic nature of a name must be evaluated in relation to the territory of the EU.

               (8)

               The registration of homonymous names is authorised on condition that the name registered subsequently is sufficiently distinct in practice from the name already subject to protection. In accordance with the joint statement annexed to the agreement between the European Union and Switzerland on geographical indications (4), France and Switzerland have been consulted in order to identify any additional labelling measures necessary in order to avoid misleading consumers.

               (9)

               As a result of these consultations it appeared necessary to indicate the country of origin, in this case France, on the label in the same field of vision as the name ‘Gruyère’, in letters of the same size as those of the name. In addition, the use of any flags, emblems, signs or other graphic representations on the labels should be prohibited if it might mislead consumers, in particular as regards the characteristics, origin or provenance of the product.

               (10)

               In the light of the above, the name ‘Gruyère’ should be entered in the ‘register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’.

               (11)

               The granting and duration of the five-year transitional period referred to in Article 8(3) of the Agreement between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation is not being called into question by the registration of the name ‘Gruyère’ for France under this Regulation.

               (12)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
   Article 2
   Labels featuring the name contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall indicate the country of origin in question in the same field of vision, in letters of the same size as those of the name.
   The use of any flags, emblems, signs or other graphic representations on the labels that might mislead consumers, in particular as regards the characteristics, origin or provenance of the product, is prohibited.
   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.

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 442/2009 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of pigmeat products. The quotas listed in Part B of Annex I to that Regulation are managed using the simultaneous examination method.

               (2)

               The quantities covered by import licence applications lodged from 1 to 7 June 2015 for the subperiod 1 July to 30 September 2015 are smaller than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1350/2011
   of 20 December 2011
   temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2011/2012 marketing year
   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), and in particular Article 187 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to promote the supply of cereals on the Community market during the first few months of the 2011/2012 marketing year, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 633/2011 (2) suspended customs duties for the import tariff quotas for common wheat of low and medium quality and feed barley opened by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 (3) and (EC) No 2305/2003 (4) respectively, until 31 December 2011.

               (2)

               The outlook for the cereals market of the European Union for the end of the 2011/2012 marketing year would suggest that prices will remain buoyant, given the low stock levels and the Commission’s current estimates regarding the quantities which will actually be available from the 2011 harvest. In order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports conducive to EU market equilibrium, there is a need to ensure continuity in cereal imports policy by keeping the temporary suspension of customs duties on imports during the 2011/2012 marketing year until 30 June 2012 for the import tariff quotas to which this measure currently applies.

               (3)

               Moreover, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the EU. Therefore, the time required for transport should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension regime provided for in this Regulation, for all products whose direct transport to the EU has started at the latest on 30 June 2012. The evidence to be provided to prove direct transport to the EU and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established.

               (4)

               In order to ensure effective management of the procedure for issuing import certificates from 1 January 2012, this Regulation must enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (5)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The application of customs duties on imports of products falling within CN code 1001 99 00, of a quality other than high quality as defined in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/1010 (5), and CN code 1003 is suspended for the 2011/2012 marketing year for all imports under the reduced-duty tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003.
   2.   Where the cereals referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article are transported directly to the EU and such transport began at the latest on 30 June 2012, the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation shall continue to apply for the purposes of the release into free circulation of the products concerned.
   Proof of direct transport to the EU and of the date on which the transport commenced shall be provided, to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities, by the original transport document.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012.

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

   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 the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Italy's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1263/96 (3) and by Regulation (EU) No 217/2011 (4).

               (2)

               The purpose of the application is to amend the specification as regards the temperature in the maturing rooms.

               (3)

               The Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since the amendments are minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve them without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 to 52 of that Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Annex II to this Regulation contains the consolidated Single Document setting out the main points of the specification.

      ANNEX I
      The following amendments have been approved to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’:
      The following sentence in the section on the production method has been deleted: ‘The fresh cheeses are ripened naturally in suitable premises for at least three days after they are placed in moulds at a temperature of between 15 °C and 20 °C’. This amendment is requested by the producers, who often use the same premises for production, which requires temperatures of between 20 °C and 24 °C, as for the initial drying. It is very difficult to maintain different temperatures within one building so this requirement often penalises smaller cheese makers. This amendment request is based on observations recorded over many years which demonstrate that removing this requirement does not influence the final quality of the cheese.

      Class 1.3. — Cheeses
      3.2.   Description of the product to which the name in point 1 applies

      ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ is a cheese made throughout the year from fresh curd subjected to ripening or maturing.
      ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ PDO is cylindrical in shape with straight faces with slightly bevelled edges and a slightly convex lateral surface. The faces are between 10 and 14 cm in diameter and the lateral surface is 2,5 to 4 cm in height. Each cheese weighs between 250 and 400 grams. These parameters apply at the end of the minimum maturation period.
      The reference criteria for ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ as regards fat, protein substances and ash are as follows:

                  fat: minimum 40 % of dry matter

                  protein substances: minimum 34 % of dry matter

                  ash: minimum 3 % of dry matter.

            The organoleptic properties of ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ cheese vary according to the degree of ripening it undergoes:

                  fresh cheese ripened between 4 and 10 days: rind: this may be present in the form of a light natural bloom of mould or may be absent; external appearance: milky white or straw-yellow; paste: milky white; structure: creamy, soft; taste and flavour: delicate, rich and/or slightly sour;

                  and the mature cheese ripened for 11 days or more: rind: in the form of a natural bloom of mould; external appearance: milky white or straw-yellow or slightly reddish; paste: milky white; structure: soft, slightly more compact as maturing progresses, the flavoursome part next to the rind may be creamy.

            The aromas and tastes of ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ are intensified as the cheese is matured up to the point of pungency.
      3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

      ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ is made from raw whole milk sourced exclusively from the production area from goats of the Roccaverano and Camosciata Alpina breeds and their crosses, ewes of the Pecora delle Langhe breed and cows of the Piemontese and Bruna Alpina breeds and their crosses in the following proportions: using either raw whole goats' milk exclusively or a blend of goats' milk with up to 50 % raw whole cows' and/or ewes' milk, from successive milkings carried out within a period of between 24 and 48 hours.
      3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

      The sheep and goats are fed by grazing between 1 March and 30 November and with green and/or dried fodder and fresh and processed cereal grain, legumes and oleaginous plants. Parcels of meadow-pasture, grassland and woodland must be entered in a register held by the inspection body. The cows are fed by grazing and with green and/or dried fodder and fresh and processed cereal grain, legumes and oleaginous plants.
      More than 80 % of the feed of all the animals must come from the production area. The use of maize silage and fodder is prohibited. The feed must not contain any GMOs. It is prohibited to use milk from livestock farms without grazing land.
      3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

      Holdings rearing the livestock whose milk is used to produce ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ must be located within the defined geographical area.
      The milk must be produced and processed within the defined geographical area.
      3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

      The cheeses must be packed in the production area, since the cheese's lack of a rind and its fresh and soft body expose it to the risk of dehydration, oxidation and deterioration of the fat content. In addition, because of its lack of a rind at the time of production, the cheese cannot be indelibly marked.
      3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

      On release for consumption, the packaging is sealed with an adhesive label bearing the PDO logo in the form of a stylised ‘R’. The brown, stylised uppercase ‘R’ contains the image of a tower with battlements, inspired by the historic tower in the Municipality of Roccaverano; the counter within the letter ‘R’ represents a ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ cheese and the stem is decorated with a green and pale yellow/green design intended to represent the meadows and the typical, sinuous shape of the hills of the Langhe. This is enclosed within a dark green ring bearing the words ‘ROBIOLA DI ROCCAVERANO’ in white, uppercase lettering with a small, white stylised flower at bottom centre. The whole logo is printed on a white background. Underneath the logo is the code number identifying the production holding and the label's serial number, on an ochre background for ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ produced exclusively from goats' milk and on a white background for that produced from a blend of milks. The percentages of the different types of milk used must be marked on the label. All cheeses must be marketed whole, packed and bearing a seal.
      4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

      The geographical area includes the following municipalities: Province of Asti: Bubbio, Cessole, Loazzolo, Mombaldone, Monastero Bormida, Olmo Gentile, Roccaverano, San Giorgio Scarampi, Serole and Vesime; Province of Alessandria: Castelletto d'Erro, Denice, Malvicino, Merana, Montechiaro d'Acqui, Pareto, Ponti, Spigno Monferrato and that part of the Municipality of Cartosio located on the left bank of the Erro stream.
      5.   Link with the geographical area

      5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

      The soil is clay with marl subsoil. In certain areas, compaction has produced colluvial soils in the form of a very deep clayey stratum with high water retention capacity, offering a very high level of fertility. The area has a typical continental climate characterised by extreme cold, significant snowfall and frequent cycles of freezing and thawing in winter and a rapid transition to high summer temperatures towards the end of June. There is little variation in the pattern of precipitation and the annual average rainfall is 300 mm, with very low points in the spring-summer period, liable to cause serious droughts. These soil and climate conditions favour the growth of typical forage plants on grassland and meadow-pasture. The meadows feature a wide range of plants, mainly grasses (around 75 %) and legumes (around 25 %), together with a many aromatic and medicinal plants. The main grasses are: ryegrass (Lolium spp.), cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), fescue (Festuca spp.), meadow grass (Poa spp.) vernal grass, etc. The main legumes are: mountain clover (Trifolium montanum), bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), milfoil (Achillea spp.), etc. Among the aromatic and scented grasses, in addition to vernal grass, are umbrelliferae, such as wild carrot (Daucus carota carota), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), sage (Salvia officinalis), great lavender (Lavandula latifolia), many varieties of thyme (Thymus spp.), common rue (Ruta graveolens), rose hip (Rosa canina canina), etc. This mix of fodder plants, with its natural balance of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins, provides high-quality feed for sheep, goats and cattle. The sheep and goats also graze on woodland, which as well as protecting the soil, also protects the animals from the excessive heat of summer.
      5.2.   Specificity of the product

      ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ is a small, soft, rindless cheese. It is distinguished by its white paste, without holes. Its texture ranges from soft and creamy to compact and solid and it melts in the mouth, leaving a pleasant flavour and an aftertaste that ranges from green grass/medicinal plants to a more defined and pungent taste, reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts and the whiff of goat.
      5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

      The particular flavour and aroma of ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ are the result of the high-quality raw milk from which it is produced. The quality of the milk can be attributed to the high quality of the cows', goats' and ewes' feed.
      The particular properties of the flora with their different scents and aromas are also found in the milk, which means that the fragrance of ‘Robiola di Roccaverano’ cheese is unlike that of any other cheese.
      A manuscript written by the priest Pistone dating from 1899 recounts the history of the Parish of Roccaverano and the surrounding hamlets from 960 to 1860. Among the historic information of political relevance are economic data that highlight the importance of Robiola, such as the fact that the Municipality of Roccaverano hosted five annual fairs. On these occasions, ‘excellent Robiole cheeses’ were sold for export. The manuscript refers specifically to export as by that time Robiola was well known not only in Italy but also in France. Clearly, Robiola was regarded as more than just an ordinary cheese and had already been given a specific designation, having characteristics that were different from other cheeses. Artisanal Robiola can also be kept for up to six months in oil in glass jars or stored in straw.

   of 8 July 2015
   setting out the frequency and the format of the reporting of irregularities concerning the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, under Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (1), and in particular the sixth subparagraph of Article 122(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Member States are required to report irregularities pursuant to Article 122(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and in accordance with the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1970 (2).

               (2)

               Financial interests of the Union should be protected in the same way irrespective of the fund used to deliver the objectives for which it was established. To that end Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, as well as Regulations (EU) No 1306/2013 (3), (EU) No 223/2014 (4) and (EU) No 514/2014 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council, empower the Commission to adopt rules on the reporting of irregularities. To ensure that identical rules apply in respect of all the funds governed by those Regulations, it is necessary that this Regulation contains provisions identical to those in Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2015/1975 (6), (EU) 2015/1976 (7) and (EU) 2015/1977 (8).

               (3)

               In order to ensure an efficient analysis and overall management of cases of irregularity, Member States are required to submit to the Commission relevant information on detected irregularities on a regular and timely basis. In order to protect the Union's financial interests it is necessary to lay down uniform conditions for the submission of that information, in particular about its frequency and format.

               (4)

               In order to avoid an irregularity having repercussions outside the territory of the reporting Member State, that Member State should report any such irregularity to the Commission without delay.

               (5)

               In order to fully exploit the advantages derived from the use of electronic means for the exchange of information while preserving the security of exchanges, Member States should use the dedicated Irregularity Management System (IMS) provided on the Anti-Fraud Information System platform established by the Commission.

               (6)

               Member States and the Commission should ensure that transfer of data through the Irregularity Management System is performed in a secure manner allowing for availability, integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of information.

               (7)

               The use of the euro as the only currency for the reporting of irregularities is necessary to ensure the comparability of the information reported. For Member States which have not adopted the euro as their currency it is necessary to define the exchange rate to be used to convert the amounts concerned into euro and the exchange rate to be used to convert expenditure which has not been registered in the accounts of the certifying authority.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

               (9)

               As payments have already been made for the funds concerned and irregularities could occur, the provisions of this Regulation should be applicable immediately. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               (3)

               Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 should therefore be updated accordingly,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1976
   of 8 July 2015
   setting out the frequency and the format of the reporting of irregularities concerning the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived, under Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2014 on the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (1), and in particular the sixth subparagraph of Article 30(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Member States are required to report irregularities pursuant to Article 30(2) of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 and in accordance with the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1972 (2).

               (2)

               Financial interests of the Union should be protected in the same way irrespective of the fund used to deliver the objectives for which it was established. To that end Regulation (EU) No 223/2014, as well as Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013 (3), (EU) No 1306/2013 (4) and (EU) No 514/2014 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council, empower the Commission to adopt rules on the reporting of irregularities. To ensure that identical rules apply in respect of all the funds governed by those Regulations, it is necessary that this Regulation contains provisions identical to those in Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2015/1974 (6) (EU) 2015/1975 (7) and (EU) 2015/1977 (8).

               (3)

               In order to ensure an efficient analysis and overall management of cases of irregularity, Member States are required to submit to the Commission relevant information on detected irregularities on a regular and timely basis. In order to protect the Union's financial interests it is necessary to lay down uniform conditions for the submission of that information, in particular about its frequency and format.

               (4)

               In order to avoid an irregularity having repercussions outside the territory of the reporting Member State, that Member State should report any such irregularity to the Commission without delay.

               (5)

               In order to fully exploit the advantages derived from the use of electronic means for the exchange of information while preserving the security of exchanges, Member States should use the dedicated Irregularity Management System (IMS) provided on the Anti-Fraud Information System platform established by the Commission.

               (6)

               Member States and the Commission should ensure that transfer of data through the Irregularity Management System is performed in a secure manner allowing for availability, integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of information.

               (7)

               The use of the euro as the only currency for the reporting of irregularities is necessary to ensure the comparability of the information reported. For Member States which have not adopted the euro as their currency it is necessary to define the exchange rate to be used to convert the amounts concerned into euro and the exchange rate to be used to convert expenditure which has not been registered in the accounts of the certifying authority.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 63 of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014.

               (9)

               As payments have already been made for the fund concerned and irregularities could occur, the provisions of this Regulation should be applicable immediately. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
