         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 233/2013
   of 15 March 2013
   fixing the amount of the carry-over aid and the flat-rate aid for certain fishery products for the 2013 fishing year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2814/2000 of 21 December 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of carry-over aid for certain fishery products (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 939/2001 of 14 May 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of flat-rate aid for certain fishery products (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that aid may be granted for quantities of certain fresh products withdrawn from the market and either processed to stabilise them and stored or preserved.

               (2)

               The purpose of that aid is to give suitable encouragement to producers’ organisations to process or preserve products withdrawn from the market so that their destruction can be avoided.

               (3)

               The aid level should not be such as to disturb the balance of the market for the products in question or distort competition.

               (4)

               The aid level should not exceed the technical and financial costs associated with the operations essential to stabilising and storage recorded in the Union during the fishing year preceding the year in question.

               (5)

               In order not to hinder the operation of the intervention system in the year 2013, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2013.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Regulation (EC) No 104/2000,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   For the 2013 fishing year, the amounts of the carry-over aid referred to in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, and the amounts of the flat-rate aid referred to in Article 24(4) of that Regulation, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2013.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/57
   of 19 January 2016
   amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entry for the United States in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into or transit through the Union in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in the State of Minnesota
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1), 24(2) and 25(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’). It provides that the commodities may only be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the conditions for a third country, territory, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

               (3)

               The United States is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of the commodities covered by that Regulation are authorised from certain parts of its territory, depending on the presence of HPAI outbreaks. That regionalisation was recognised by Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, as amended by Implementing Regulations (EU) 2015/243 (4), (EU) 2015/342 (5), (EU) 2015/526 (6), (EU) 2015/796 (7), (EU) 2015/1153 (8), (EU) 2015/1220 (9), (EU) 2015/1363 (10) and (EU) 2015/1884 (11), following outbreaks of HPAI in that third country.

               (4)

               An Agreement between the Union and the United States (12) provides for a swift mutual recognition of regionalisation measures in the event of outbreaks of a disease in the Union or in the United States (‘the Agreement’).

               (5)

               Following each HPAI outbreak, the United States has implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control HPAI and to limit its spread. The veterinary authorities of the United States suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of commodities intended for export to the Union from the entire territory of the affected States or from parts thereof which have been placed under veterinary restrictions and which are subject to Union regionalisation measures.

               (6)

               Since mid-June 2015, no further outbreaks of HPAI have been detected in the United States. There are no longer veterinary restrictions in place for imports into the Union of commodities referred to in column 4 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 for the whole territory of the United States, except for the State of Minnesota. The last HPAI outbreak on a poultry holding in Minnesota was detected on 5 June 2015. On 24 November 2015, the United States submitted updated information to the Commission on the epidemiological situation in Minnesota and the measures it has taken to prevent the spread of HPAI, including stamping-out operations for infected poultry flocks and for flocks on poultry holdings that were considered as dangerous contact premises.

               (7)

               In addition, the United States has reported the completion of cleaning and disinfection measures following the stamping-out operations undertaken on poultry holdings in Minnesota. It also reported that the required surveillance for avian influenza, carried out during the three month period following the completion of the stamping-out operations after the last HPAI outbreak in Minnesota was finalised by 10 September 2015, with favourable results.

               (8)

               The information provided by the United States has now been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, as well as the commitments laid down in the Agreement and the guarantees provided by the United States, it is appropriate to lift the restrictions on the introduction into the Union of commodities referred to above from the State of Minnesota and to indicate the date as of when that State may again be considered free of HPAI and imports into the Union of commodities originating from Minnesota should again be authorised.

               (9)

               The entry for the United States in the list in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended to take account of the current epidemiological situation in Minnesota. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               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

         COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1187/2010
   of 13 December 2010
   terminating the anti-dumping proceeding on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 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 Article 9(1) and Article 11(2), (5) and (6) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘the Commission’) after having consulted the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   1.   PROCEDURE

   1.1.   Measures in force

               (1)

               Following a review investigation carried out pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China currently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 99 and ex 3808 93 27 (the ‘product concerned’). This duty had been extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Malaysia (whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not) with the exception of those produced by Crop Protection (M) Sdn. Bhd. and to imports of glyphosate consigned from Taiwan (whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not) with the exception of those produced by Sinon Corporation. The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 29,9 %.

               (2)

               By Decision 2009/383/EC (3), the Commission suspended the definitive anti-dumping duties for a period of 9 months, with effect from 16 May 2009. Subsequently, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 126/2010 (4), the Council extended the suspension for a period of 1 year, with effect from 14 February 2010.

         1.2.   Request for review

               (3)

               Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (5) of the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China, the Commission has received on 29 June 2009 a request for review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.

               (4)

               The request was lodged by the European Glyphosate Association (‘the applicant’) on behalf of producers representing the entire Union production of glyphosate.

               (5)

               The request contained prima facie evidence showing that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Union industry.

         1.3.   Initiation

               (6)

               Accordingly, the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, initiated, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (6), an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the European Union of glyphosate currently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 99 and ex 3808 93 27 and originating in the People’s Republic of China.

               (7)

               The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers concerned, the representatives of the People’s Republic of China, the representative users and the Union producers of the initiation of the review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.

         2.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST

               (8)

               By a letter dated 21 September 2010 to the Commission, the applicant formally withdrew its request.

               (9)

               In accordance with Article 9(1) and Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, a proceeding may be terminated where the request for review is withdrawn unless such a termination would not be in the Union interest.

               (10)

               It was considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. However, no comments were received which could alter this consideration.

               (11)

               It was therefore concluded that the anti-dumping expiry review proceeding concerning imports into the Union of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China should be terminated and the existing measures should be repealed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The anti-dumping measures concerning imports of glyphosate currently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 99 and ex 3808 93 27 and originating in the People’s Republic of China, are hereby repealed and the proceeding concerning these imports is terminated.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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, 13 December 2010.

   Whereas:

               (1)

               Based on the information provided by the competent authorities, the Commission notes that import licences for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20, other than import licences for basmati rice, were issued in respect of 438 104 tonnes for the period from 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011. The import duty for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 other than basmati rice should therefore be adjusted.

               (2)

               The applicable duty must be fixed within 10 days of the end of the period mentioned above. This Regulation should therefore come into force immediately,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The import duty for husked rice falling within CN code 1006 20 shall be EUR 42,5 per tonne.
   Article 2

               (3)

               On the basis of the tenders submitted in response to the first partial invitation to tender, it is appropriate to fix a maximum amount of the aid for private storage of olive oil for the tendering sub-period ending on 25 October 2011.

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 546/2006 of 31 March 2006 implementing Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards national scrapie control programmes and additional guarantees and derogating from certain requirements of Decision 2003/100/EC and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1874/2003 (2) approves the national scrapie control programmes of certain Member States. It also lays down the additional guarantees from which those Member States can benefit regarding the movements of ovine and caprine animals, as well as of their semen and embryos.

               (3)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 233/2012 of 16 March 2012 implementing Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the approval of the amended national scrapie control programme for Denmark (3) approves the amended national scrapie control programme for Denmark.

               (4)

               For reasons of clarity and simplification of Union legislation, Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 630/2013 of 28 June 2013 amending the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (4), sets out the list of the Member States with an approved national control programme for classical scrapie and the corresponding additional guarantees from which those Member States benefit regarding the movements of ovine and caprine animals, as well as of their semen and embryos.

               (5)

               The amendments to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 set out in Regulation (EU) No 630/2013 apply from 1 July 2013. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 546/2006 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 233/2012 become therefore redundant on that date. In the interest of legal clarity and certainty, those Regulations should therefore be repealed on the same date.

               (6)

               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

   of 18 December 2013
   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) as a feed additive for minor poultry species for fattening and for chickens reared for laying (holder of authorisation Kerry Ingredients and Flavours)
   (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, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               That application concerns the authorisation of a new use of a preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) as a feed additive for minor poultry species for fattening and for chickens reared for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 237/2012 (2).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concludes in its opinion of 18 June 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and it has the potential to be efficacious on chickens reared for laying and that can be extrapolated to minor poultry species for fattening. 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.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of alpha-galactosidase produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               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
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, 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.
