            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1915
      of 19 October 2017
      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)

                  The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 is to protect species of wild fauna and flora and to guarantee their conservation by regulating trade in animal and plant species listed in its Annexes. The species listed in the Annexes include the species set out in the Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora signed in 1973 (2) (the Convention) as well as species whose conservation status requires that trade from, into and within the Union be regulated or monitored.

                  (2)

                  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.

                  (3)

                  On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group established pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 would 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 species should therefore be prohibited:

                                 Macaca fascicularis from Laos;

                                 Kinyongia fischeri and Kinyongia tavetana from Tanzania;

                                 Trioceros quadricornis from Cameroon;

                                 Hippocampus algiricus from Guinea and Senegal;

                                 Ornithoptera priamus from Solomon Islands (wild and ranched specimens)

                                 Pandinus imperator (ranched specimens) from Ghana;

                                 Phelsuma borai, Phelsuma gouldi, Phelsuma hoeschi and Phelsuma ravenala from Madagascar.

                  (4)

                  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 of certain species listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 should no longer be required for specimens of the following species:

                     Falco cherrug from Bahrain.

                  (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 of certain species listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 should no longer be required for specimens of the following species:

                  The species Chitra chitra, Manis temminckii, Manis tricuspis, Macaca sylvanus, Psittacus erithacus and Psittacus erithacus timneh have recently been included in Appendix I to the Convention as well as in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 338/97. The prohibition of the introduction into the Union for specimens of these species formerly listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 is therefore no longer required:

                                 Chitra chitra from Malaysia,

                                 Manis temminckii from the Democratic Republic of the Congo;

                                 Manis tricuspis fom Guinea;

                                 Psittacus erithacus timneh from Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.

                  (7)

                  The species Trachemys scripta elegans, Callosciurus erythraeus, Sciurus carolinensis, Sciurus niger, Oxyura jamaicensis and Lithobates catesbeianus have been removed from the Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97. The prohibition of the introduction into the Union for specimens of these species formerly listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 is therefore no longer required:
                  Trachemys scripta elegans, Callosciurus erythraeus, Sciurus carolinensis, Sciurus niger, Oxyura jamaicensis and Lithobates catesbeianus from all countries of origin.

                  (8)

                  The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to the introduction into the Union have all been consulted bilaterally or through the multilateral processes under the Convention.

                  (9)

                  At the 17th Conference of the Parties to the Convention, new nomenclatural references (splitting/lumping/renaming of taxa) for animals were adopted and should be reflected accordingly in Union legislation. These changes concern the species Poicephalus robustus/fuscicollis, Calumma linota/linotum, Cordylus/Smaug mossambicus, Cuora bourreti/galbinifrons/picturata, Geochelone/Centrochelys sulcata, Kinixys belliana/nogueyi/zombensis, Pandinus imperator/roesli, Tridacna maxima/noae, Trioceros quadricornis/eisentrauti as well as the class name Actinopteri.

                  (10)

                  The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is prohibited should therefore be updated and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/736 (3) should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced.

                  (11)

                  The Scientific Review Group has been consulted on this Regulation.

                  (12)

                  Applications for import permits for specimens of species for which import is restricted pursuant to Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 shall be treated by Member States in accordance with Article 71 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (4).

                  (13)

                  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) 2015/736 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, 19 October 2017.

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/922
      of 10 June 2016
      amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which the introduction into the Union of fresh meat is authorised
      (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,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down, inter alia, the conditions for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. Part 1 of Annex II to that Regulation establishes a list of third countries, territories and parts thereof from which such consignments may be introduced into the Union, as well as the specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required from certain third countries.

                  (2)

                  Argentina and Brazil are regionalised for the purpose of inclusion into this list. The regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as parts of those countries authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates.

                  (3)

                  Four parts of the territory of Argentina are listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. The dates from when such animals may be slaughtered to allow the introduction of fresh meat thereof into the Union, are stated as opening dates for each part of the territory of Argentina. For some of these parts, supplementary guarantees and specific conditions are applicable to eliminate certain animal health risk linked to the introduction of the fresh meat into the Union.

                  (4)

                  Argentina has requested the listing of those parts of its territory to be updated, in order to merge certain parts of its territory based on whether supplementary guarantees and specific conditions are applicable or not for those parts. This should clarify the regionalisation of Argentina. As different opening dates apply to the current regionalisation, the latest opening date from the merged parts of the territory should be applicable. As not all such parts of Argentina are authorised for introduction of fresh meat of wild non-domestic ungulates covered by the certificate ‘RUW’, this should be specified in a footnote.

                  (5)

                  The high-surveillance area of Argentina, established along the border with Bolivia and Paraguay, is now part of the territory of Argentina recognised by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as a zone free of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) where vaccination is practised (3). Argentina has requested this area to be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of certain domestic and wild ungulates into the Union. Considering that it is recognised as a zone free of FMD where vaccination is practised and that Argentina has provided sufficient animal health guarantees in support of its request, that area should be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of certain domestic and wild ungulates into the Union, with the same supplementary guarantees applicable to the other parts of Argentina free of FMD with vaccination.

                  (6)

                  The high-surveillance area of Brazil, established along the border with Paraguay, is now part of the territory of Brazil recognised by the OIE as a zone free of FMD where vaccination is practised (3). Brazil has requested this area to be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of domestic bovine animals into the Union. Considering that it is recognised as a zone free of FMD where vaccination is practised and that Brazil has provided sufficient animal health guarantees in support of its request, that area should be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of domestic bovine animals into the Union with the same supplementary guarantees applicable to the other parts of Brazil free of FMD with vaccination.

                  (7)

                  Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (8)

                  To avoid any disruption of introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates, veterinary certificates with indication of the code of territory AR-4 issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 before the amendments made by this Regulation, should continue to be authorised for a transitional period.

                  (9)

                  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
      Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
      Article 2
      Transitional provisions
      For a transitional period until 1 September 2016, consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates from Argentina accompanied by a veterinary certificate for fresh meat in which the code of the territory AR-4 is indicated in accordance with Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 before the amendments made by this Regulation, shall continue to be authorised for introduction into the Union provided that the certificate was issued no later than 1 August 2016.
      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, 10 June 2016.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 817/2014
   of 25 July 2014
   on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the July 2014 subperiod by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   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 188 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 (2) opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing Regulation.

               (2)

               July is the third subperiod for the quota provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 and the second subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d) of that Implementing Regulation.

               (3)

               The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2014 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quota concerned, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).

               (4)

               Those notifications also show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 and 09.4154, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2014 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.

               (5)

               The total quantity available for the following subperiod should also be fixed for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4130 — 09.4148 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 and 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011.

               (6)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
