         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 888/2014
   of 14 August 2014
   prohibiting the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 4(6) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of specimens of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Article 71 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (2).

               (2)

               The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is prohibited was last established in June 2013 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 578/2013 (3).

               (3)

               Croatia acceded to the Union on 1 July 2013. Therefore, all references to that Member State should be deleted from the list of species whose introduction in the Union is prohibited.

               (4)

               On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain additional species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not prohibited. The introduction into the Union of specimens of the following new species should therefore be prohibited:

                           —

                              Loxodonta africana (hunting trophies) from Cameroon;

                           —

                              Manis tricuspis from Guinea;

                           —

                              Balearica pavonina from South Sudan;

                           —

                              Balearica regulorum from Rwanda and Tanzania;

                           —

                              Calumma tarzan from Madagascar;

                           —

                              Trioceros perreti and Trioceros serratus from Cameroon;

                           —

                              Cordylus rhodesianus from Mozambique;

                           —

                              Uroplatus sameiti from Madagascar;

                           —

                              Candoia carinata from Indonesia;

                           —

                              Python bivittatus from China;

                           —

                              Kinixys erosa from Democratic Republic of the Congo;

                           —

                              Pandinus imperator from Benin (wild specimens) and Togo (wild and ranched specimens).

               (5)

               The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the prohibition of the introduction into the Union should no longer be required for specimens of the following species:

                           —

                              Gopherus agassizii from Mexico;

                           —

                              Stigmochelys pardalis from Mozambique (ranched specimens) and Zambia (ranched specimens and specimens with code F)

                           —

                              Ornithoptera urvillianus (wild and ranched specimens) from Solomon Islands;

                           —

                           Nardostachys grandiflora from Nepal.

               (6)

               The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to introduction into the Union have all been consulted.

               (7)

               At the 16th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES), new nomenclatural references (splitting of species and renaming of genus) for animals were adopted and should be reflected accordingly in Union legislation. Furthermore, the species Euphyllia picteti should be deleted as this species is not recognised in the standard nomenclatural reference agreed at CoP 16.

               (8)

               The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is prohibited should therefore be updated and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 578/2013 should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced.

               (9)

               The Scientific Review Group established pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 has been consulted.

               (10)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora established pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The introduction into the Union of specimens of the species of wild fauna and flora set out in the Annex to this Regulation from the countries of origin indicated therein is prohibited.
   Article 2
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 578/2013 is repealed.
   References to the repealed Implementing Regulation shall be construed as references to 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, 14 August 2014.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/710
   of 12 May 2016
   amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as regards the substance ‘copper carbonate’
   (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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 requires that the maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is established in a Regulation.

               (2)

               Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2) sets out the pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin.

               (3)

               Copper carbonate is not yet included in that table.

               (4)

               An application for the establishment of MRLs for copper carbonate in all food producing species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (hereinafter ‘EMA’).

               (5)

               The EMA, based on the opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use, has recommended that the establishment of MRLs for copper carbonate in all food producing species is not necessary for the protection of human health.

               (6)

               According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, the EMA is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

               (7)

               Given the opinion of the EMA that no MRLs should be established for copper carbonate for all food producing species, Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 does not apply.

               (8)

               Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   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.

   approving the active substance cerevisane, 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 22(1) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, France received on 5 March 2012 an application from Agro-Levures et Dérivés SAS for the approval of the active substance cerevisane. In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, France, as rapporteur Member State, notified the Commission on 14 May 2012 of the admissibility of the application.

               (2)

               On 22 February 2013, the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission, with a copy to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’), assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (3)

               The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report in January 2014.

               (4)

               On 5 May 2014, the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion on whether the active substance cerevisane can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (2). The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

               (5)

               The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

               (6)

               On 11 December 2014 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for cerevisane and a draft Regulation providing that cerevisane is approved.

               (7)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve cerevisane.

               (8)

               The Commission further considers that cerevisane is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Cerevisane is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in point 5 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The main constituent for cerevisane are cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast which is widespread in nature and commonly used in food production (baking, alcoholic beverages, nutritional supplement) and which is regularly consumed without any evidence of harmful potential. The additional exposure of humans, animals and the environment by the uses approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is expected to be negligible compared to exposure expected through realistic natural situations.

               (9)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve cerevisane as a low risk substance. In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should 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:
