         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1527
   of 6 September 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the extension of the approval periods of the active substances cyflufenamid, fluopicolide, heptamaloxyloglucan and malathion
   (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 the first paragraph of Article 17 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2) sets out the active substances deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (2)

               Applications for the renewal of the approval of the active substances included in this Regulation were submitted in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (3). However, the approval of those substances may expire for reasons beyond the control of the applicant before a decision has been taken on the renewal of their approval. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (3)

               In view of the time and resources necessary for completing the assessment of applications for the renewal of approvals of the large number of active substances the approvals of which are expiring between 2019 and 2021, Commission Implementing Decision C(2016) 6104 (4) established a work programme grouping together similar active substances and setting priorities on the basis of safety concerns for human and animal health or the environment as provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (4)

               The presumed low risk substances should be prioritised in accordance with Implementing Decision C(2016) 6104. The approval of those substances should therefore be extended by a period as short as possible. Taking into account the distribution of responsibilities and work among Member States acting as rapporteurs and co-rapporteurs and the available resources necessary for assessment and decision-making, that period should be of one year for the active substance heptamaloxyloglucan.

               (5)

               For active substances which do not fall in the prioritised categories in Implementing Decision C(2016)6104, the approval period should be extended by either two or three years, taking into account the current date of expiry, the fact that in accordance with Article 6(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 the supplementary dossier for an active substance is to be submitted no later than 30 months before expiry of the approval, the need to ensure a balanced distribution of responsibilities and work among Member States acting as rapporteurs and co-rapporteurs and the available resources necessary for assessment and decision-making. It is therefore appropriate to extend the approval period for active substance malathion by two years, and to extend the approval periods of active substances cyflufenamid and fluopicolide by three years.

               (6)

               In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where no supplementary dossier in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 is submitted no later than 30 months before the respective expiry date laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before this Regulation or at the earliest date thereafter.

               (7)

               In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where the Commission will adopt a Regulation providing that the approval of an active substance referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is not renewed because the approval criteria are not satisfied, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before this Regulation or at the date of the entry into force of the Regulation providing that the approval of the active substance is not renewed, whichever date is later. As regards cases where the Commission will adopt a Regulation providing for the renewal of an active substance referred to in the Annex to this Regulation, the Commission will endeavour to set, as appropriate under the circumstances, the earliest possible application date.

               (8)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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

   of 2 April 2013
   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) for weaned piglets and weaned Suidae other than Sus scrofa domesticus (holder of authorisation Kemin Europa N.V.)
   (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 Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737). 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 Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) as a feed additive for weaned piglets and weaned Suidae other than Sus scrofa domesticus, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of a preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 107/2010 (2) and chickens reared for laying, ducks for fattening, quails, pheasants, partridges, guinea fowl, pigeons, geese for fattening and ostriches by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 885/2011 (3).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in its opinion of 25 April 2012 (4) confirmed its previous conclusions that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) is presumed safe for all animal species, consumers of the products of any animals given the additive and the environment. Although three trials performed by the applicant showed at least one significantly improved parameter in comparison with control groups, the Authority was unable to establish a minimum effective dose as proposed by the applicant, because of conflicting results at different dose levels tested. Two trials showed significant improvements with a dose of 1 × 107CFU/kg but not at 5 × 107CFU/kg feed. 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 Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) 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 ‘gut flora stabilisers’, 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1062/2013
   of 30 October 2013
   on the format of the European Technical Assessment for construction products
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 26(3) thereof,
   After consulting the Standing Committee on Construction,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               European Technical Assessment is necessary to enable a manufacturer of a construction product to draw up a declaration of performance for a construction product which is not covered or not fully covered by a harmonised standard.

               (2)

               Article 26(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 establishes requirements for the content of the European Technical Assessment. Since the principles for the applicable factory production control shall be set out in the respective European Assessment Document (EAD), the European Technical Assessment should contain only such technical details as deemed necessary in these principles within the EAD to be defined at that level for the implementation of the system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance.

               (3)

               The presentation of the technical description of the product in question should be defined flexibly enough in the format of the European Technical Assessment, given the wide variety of construction products concerned.

               (4)

               Sufficient flexibility should also be allowed for the presentation of the performance of the product in the European Technical Assessment, to enable the manufacturer to declare fluently and accurately such performance in his declaration of performance which is based on that assessment.

               (5)

               In order to protect confidential technical information on the product, the manufacturer should be able to indicate to the responsible Technical Assessment Body which parts of the product description is confidential and may not be disclosed together with the European Technical Assessment. Confidential information should be included in separate Annexes to those European Technical Assessments.

               (6)

               In order to enhance the efficiency of the Internal Market and competitiveness of the European construction sector as a whole, European Technical Assessments should be able to be issued as soon as possible for manufacturers requesting them,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The format of the European Technical Assessment is set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/293
   of 24 February 2015
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Liliputas (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 Articles 15(2) and 52(3)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, Lithuania's application to register the name ‘Liliputas’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2).

               (2)

               By the notice of opposition of 13 September 2013 and the reasoned statement of opposition of 8 November 2013, Poland opposed to the registration under Article 51(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. The opposition was deemed admissible.

               (3)

               By letters dated 8 January 2014, the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.

               (4)

               No agreement was reached between Lithuania and Poland.

               (5)

               Given that no agreement was reached, the Commission should adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 52(3)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 10(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 the opponent alleged that the registration of ‘Liliputas’ as a Protected Geographical Indication would jeopardise the existence of a partly identical name, of trade marks and of products which have been legally on the Polish market for significantly more than five years preceding the date the application for registration of the name ‘Liliputas’ as Protected Geographical Indication was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (15 June 2013); according to the opponent, that registration would be a threat to the existence of the product named ‘Liliput’, which is a Polish cheese having characteristics similar to ‘Liliputas’ cheese and whose name is phonetically similar to the name ‘Liliputas’.

               (7)

               The opponent claims that the term ‘Liliput’ is generally used in Poland to refer to products characterised by their small size and it is used also for cheese. Cheese bearing the name ‘Liliput’ has been lawfully produced and marketed in Poland since 1971. In company standards, technical instructions and norms for the use of raw materials ‘Liliput’ cheese is listed among other types of cheese such as Gouda, Edam and Emmental. This term, referred to the Polish cheese, is popular among Polish consumers and it is in no way linked to the Lithuanian cheese. It is therefore to be considered as a generic term for generic cheese in Poland. As regards the product, Polish ‘Liliput’ cheese has characteristics, appearance, and dimensions similar to Lithuanian ‘Liliputas’ cheese. In the end, the opponent suggests, ‘Liliput’ and ‘Liliputas’ are similar products bearing generic names. Therefore, the registration of the name ‘Liliputas’ as Protected Geographical Indication would prevent the Polish producers from marketing their ‘Liliput’ cheese or, in any event, from using the name ‘Liliput’ for a cheese.

               (8)

               The opponent claims also that the product and the name to be registered do not comply with the requirements of Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. As stated in the published Single Document the cheese got the name ‘Liliputas’ because of its size. Therefore, the name ‘Liliputas’ does not indicate that the product comes from a particular place but, as the Polish cheese ‘Liliput’, just refers to the small size of the cheese. In addition, the qualities of the product are not attributable to its geographical origin but they simply derive from the fact of maturing in small rounds. The impact of the local microscopic mould Penicillium pallidum Smith on the organoleptic characteristics of ‘Liliputas’ is not proven. Furthermore, the fact that the product was produced under State Standards in USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) would confirm that it could be produced anywhere in USSR and that there was no specific link with the delimited geographical area. In the end, ‘Liliputas’ should be considered a generic product.

               (9)

               Several Polish cheese producers have been granted protection for trademarks containing the word ‘Liliput’, such as the registered word and figurative trade mark ‘Cheesland Liliput’ and ‘Ser liliput’, and the applied word trade mark ‘Serenada Liliput’. The production of the Polish ‘Liliput’ is substantive: 2 762 tonnes produced in 2013 on an industrial scale and marketed all over Poland in 2 250 shops, 4,8 % of the production exported in the EU market. 90 % of the production of ‘Liliput’ cheese is covered by a trade mark. In the opinion of the opponent, the registration of the name ‘Liliputas’ as a Protected Geographical Indication would be a threat to the existence of such trade marks.

               (10)

               Despite the abovementioned allegations submitted by the opponent, it is appropriate to register the name ‘Liliputas’ as Protected Geographical Indication for the following reasons.

               (11)

               Although the use of the name ‘Liliputas’ must have an origin in the small size of the cheese it refers to, it is clear that in Lithuania, in half a century, that name has lost this size reference and it has in parallel developed a strong link with the area of production. At present, in Lithuania, the name ‘Liliputas’ is indisputably associated with the hand-made semi-hard fermented high quality cheese produced in Belvederis village. Lithuanian consumers do not link that name to a Polish cheese or to standard industrialised cheese production. Therefore, although deprived of a geographical part, the name Liliputas complies with the definition of Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 which states that protected geographical indication is a name identifying a product originating in a specific place, region or country.

               (12)

               In the light of the above, ‘Liliputas’ cannot be considered a generic name. Generic names are names that, although having an historical link to the place where the product they refer to was originally produced or marketed, are now totally disconnected from such initial geographical origin. For ‘Liliputas’ it is exactly the contrary. It was originally disconnected from its geographical origin but now it is strongly linked to its area of production.

               (13)

               The product has qualities and reputation that are attributable to its geographical origin. Although the published single document states that the cheese got the name ‘Liliputas’ because of its size, it however clarifies that it gets its specific flavour and aroma from maturing in small rounds by means of internal microflora and the microscopic mould Penicillium pallidum Smith, which grows in cellars in the geographical area. This mould, which is specific of cellars in Belvederis village, is responsible of the lactic acid, fresh flavour and aroma that is distinctive to ‘Liliputas’ cheese. The area provides special conditions for this mould to survive. In addition, the fact that the cheese is hand-made and produced in a non-mechanical way contributes to the maintaining and the development of the mould. Furthermore, ‘Liliputas’ has a well-documented and solid reputation as being the flagship of the Lithuanian dairy production, which has been precisely described in the published single document.

               (14)

               The differences among ‘Liliputas’ and ‘Liliput’ are therefore quite evident. ‘Liliputas’ cannot be considered as a generic product.

               (15)

               As regards the allegation that, since it was covered by USSR standards, ‘Liliputas’ could be produced anywhere in USSR, it should be noted that the inclusion of products in such standards was compulsory at that time. In addition, this circumstance does not imply that the product, as described in the standard included on initiative of Lithuania, was produced elsewhere. In any event, from 1969 to 1979 it received plenty of awards, diplomas, quality mark and medals, being well identified as a Lithuanian cheese produced in Belvederis village.

               (16)

               The terms ‘Liliput’ is phonetically similar to the term ‘Liliputas’ which is to be registered. Both names originate from the small size of the cheese. Although the ‘Liliputas’ cheese is a product with well distinct characteristics, qualities and reputation, the ‘Liliput’ cheese has aspects that make it similar to the ‘Liliputas’ cheese. As the names are close and given the visual similarities between the products, the application of the protection envisaged by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 could have the result that ‘Liliputas’, if registered, would prevent Polish cheese producers from using the term ‘Liliput’.

               (17)

               The evidence shows that the use of the term ‘Liliput’ was not meant to exploit the reputation of ‘Liliputas’ name. The consumers have not been or couldn't have been misled as to the true origin of the products. In fact, the two products have two distinct markets in which they are well known and correctly identified. For these reasons, and as it was shown that ‘Liliput’ has been in legal use consistently and fairly for at least 25 years before the application for registration of ‘Liliputas’ was submitted to the Commission, in the interests of fairness and traditional usage, the maximum transitional period foreseen by Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 should be granted.

               (18)

               That conclusion does not have as a necessary consequence that the use of the term ‘Liliput’ becomes unlawful. In line with Article 41(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, if it can be established that, taking into account of all relevant factors and in particular the existing situation in the areas of consumption and the relevant national or Union legal acts, ‘Liliput’ has become a generic term, the use of this name would not be affected by the registration of the name ‘Liliputas’.

               (19)

               Concerning trade marks containing the term ‘Liliput’ that were applied for, registered or established by use in good faith within the territory of the Union prior to the application for registration of ‘Liliputas’ as Protected Geographical Indication, in accordance with Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the said trade marks can continue to be used and renewed for that product, provided the general requirements under trade mark legislation are otherwise met.

               (20)

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

               (21)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Agricultural Product Quality Policy Committee,
