         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 414/2014
   of 23 April 2014
   opening and providing for the administration of Union import tariff quotas for fresh and frozen pigmeat originating in Ukraine
   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 points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards customs duties for the import of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the tariff quotas as set out in that Annex. The quotas referred to in Annex III to that Regulation are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (2)

               While the quota concerned should normally be managed through the use of import licences, it is however appropriate to attribute import rights as a first step and to issue import licences as a second, as provided for in Article 6(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3). In this way, operators that have obtained import rights should be able to decide, during the course of the quota period, the moment when they wish to apply for import licences, in view of their actual trade flows.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (4) should apply to import licences issued under this Regulation, save where derogations are appropriate.

               (4)

               Furthermore, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 which concern applications for import rights, the status of applicants and the issue of import licences, should apply to import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to additional conditions laid down in this Regulation.

               (5)

               For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, a security should be lodged at the time of submission of an import rights application and at the time of issue of an import licence.

               (6)

               In order to oblige operators to apply for import licences for all the import rights allocated, it should be provided that such obligation constitutes a primary requirement within the meaning of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (5).

               (7)

               Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.

               (8)

               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
   Opening and management of tariffs quotas
   1.   This Regulation opens and manages import tariff quotas for the products indicated in Annex I.
   2.   The quantity of products covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1, the applicable rate of customs duty and the order numbers shall be as set out in Annex I.
   3.   The import tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 shall be managed by attributing import rights as a first step and issuing import licences as a second.
   4.   Regulations (EC) No 1301/2006 and (EC) No 376/2008 shall apply, unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Import tariff quota period
   The import tariff quotas referred to in Article 1(1) shall be opened until 31 October 2014.
   Article 3
   Import rights applications
   1.   Applications for import rights shall be submitted no later than 13.00, Brussels time, on the 15th calendar day following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   2.   A security of EUR 20 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged at the time of submission of an import rights application.
   3.   Applicants for import rights shall demonstrate that a quantity of pigmeat products falling under CN codes 0203 has been imported by them or on their behalf under the relevant customs provisions, during the 12th month period immediately prior to the import tariff quota period (hereinafter ‘reference quantity’). A company formed by the merger of companies, each having imported reference quantities, may use those reference quantities as a basis for its application.
   4.   The total quantity covered by applications for import rights submitted in the import tariff quota period shall not exceed the applicant's reference quantities. Applications not complying with this rule shall be rejected by the competent authorities.
   5.   No later than the 7th working day following the end of the period for the submission of applications referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall notify the Commission of the total quantities applied for in kilograms of product weight and broken down by order number.
   6.   Import rights shall be awarded as from the 7th and no later than the 12th working day following the end of the period for the notifications referred to in paragraph 5.
   7.   If application of the allocation coefficient referred to in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 results in fewer import rights to be allocated than had been applied for, the security lodged in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be released proportionally without delay.
   8.   Import rights shall be valid from the day of the issue until 31 October 2014. Import rights shall not be transferable.
   Article 4
   Issue of import licences
   1.   The release into free circulation of the quantities awarded under the import tariff quotas referred to in Article 1(1) shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
   2.   Import licence applications shall cover the total quantity of import rights allocated. This obligation shall constitute a primary requirement within the meaning of Article 19(2) of Regulation (EU) No 282/2012.
   3.   Licence applications may be submitted solely in the Member State where the applicant has applied for and obtained import rights under the import tariff quotas referred to in Article 1(1).
   4.   A security of EUR 50 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged by the operator at the time of issue of the import licence. Each issue of an import licence shall result in a corresponding reduction of the import rights obtained and the security lodged for import rights shall be released proportionally without delay.
   5.   Import licences shall be issued upon application by and in the name of the operator who has obtained the import rights.
   6.   Licence applications shall refer to only one order number. They may concern several products covered by different CN codes. In that case, all the CN codes and their descriptions shall be entered in boxes 15 and 16 of the licence application and the licence respectively.
   7.   Licence applications and import licences shall contain:

               (a)

               in box 8, the name ‘Ukraine’ as country of origin and box ‘yes’ marked by a cross;

               (b)

               in box 20, one of the entries listed in Annex II.

         8.   Each licence shall mention the quantity for each CN code.
   9.   In accordance with Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, the import licences shall be valid for 30 days from the actual day of issue of the licence. The term of validity of the import licences shall, however, expire at the latest on 31 October 2014.
   Article 5
   Notifications to the Commission
   1.   By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Member States shall notify the Commission:

               (a)

               no later than 14 November 2014, of the quantities of products, including nil returns, for which import licences were issued during the quota period;

   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 point (d) of the first paragraph of Article 61 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 7e in conjunction with Article 9(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar and isoglucose produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.

               (2)

               Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences are laid down by Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

               (3)

               For the 2012/2013 marketing year it was initially estimated that fixing the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes, in white sugar equivalent, for out-of-quota sugar exports would correspond to the market demand. Such a limit was set by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 394/2012 (3). However, according to most recent estimates the production of out-of-quota sugar is expected to reach a substantial level of 5 300 000 tonnes. Additional market outlets for out-of-quota sugar should therefore be ensured.

               (4)

               Taking into account that the WTO ceiling for exports in the 2012/2013 marketing year has not been fully used, it is appropriate to increase the export quantitative limit of out-of-quota sugar by 700 000 tonnes, so as to provide additional business opportunities for the Union producers of sugar. In order that Union producers of out-of-quota sugar can exploit market opportunities on their export markets it is appropriate to make available the increased quantities as from 14 January 2013.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 394/2012 should be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               To allow the lodging of applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences, the suspension of the lodging of applications provided for in Article 1(3) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2012 of 10 October 2012 fixing an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export-licence applications and suspending the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar (4) should be abolished. As Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2012 has exhausted its effects, it is appropriate to repeal it.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Article 1(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 394/2012 is replaced by the following:

      ‘1.   For the 2012/2013 marketing year, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be 1 350 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.’

   Article 2
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2012 is repealed.
   Article 3
   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 14 January 2013.

   of 17 November 2015
   amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as regards the substance ‘sisapronil’
   (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)

               Sisapronil is not yet included in that table.

               (4)

               An application for the establishment of MRLs for sisapronil in bovine 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 the establishment of an MRL for sisapronil in bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver and kidney, provided that the substance is not used for animals from which milk is produced for human consumption.

               (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)

               The EMA has considered that the extrapolation of the MRL for sisapronil from bovine to caprine species is appropriate.

               (8)

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

               (9)

               It is appropriate to grant the stakeholders concerned a reasonable period of time to take measures that may be required to comply with the new MRL.

               (10)

               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.
   It shall apply from 17 January 2016.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 456/2013
   of 16 May 2013
   laying down transitional measures as regards milk import quotas under Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, and beef import quotas under Regulations (EC) No 412/2008 and (EC) No 431/2008, by reason of the accession of Croatia to the European Union
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 41 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In view of the accession of Croatia to the European Union as from 1 July 2013, it is necessary to provide for transitional measures for certain import quotas in the milk and beef meat sectors, in order to allow importers from Croatia to participate in those quotas.

               (2)

               Section 2 of Chapter I of Title 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas (1) provides that applicants for import licences are to be approved in advance by the competent authority of the Member State in which they are established. In order to ensure, as from 1 January 2014, access for operators from Croatia to the import quotas under Chapter I of Title 2 and Section 2 of Chapter III of Title 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, those operators should be allowed to submit the request and the necessary proof for approval only before 1 October 2013 instead of before 1 April 2013. The authorities of Croatia should inform the applicants of the outcome of the approval procedure before 1 November 2013, instead of before 1 May 2013, and send the relevant lists of approved importers to the Commission before 15 November 2013, instead of before 20 May 2013.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 412/2008 of 8 May 2008 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen beef intended for processing (2) opened an annual import tariff quota of 63 703 tonnes bone-in equivalent of frozen beef intended for processing in the Union for a period running every year from 1 July to 30 June of the following year. According to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 412/2008 applicants for import rights are to prove that they are approved as processing establishments under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3) and that they have been active in production of processed products containing beef during each of the two reference periods referred to in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (4). Concerning the first condition, in order to be able to import in the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014, applicants for import rights from Croatia should prove that they are approved as processing establishments for export to the Union under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (5). As regards the requirement to prove past performance for the purposes of applying for import rights under Regulation (EC) No 412/2008, production of processed products containing beef in Croatia in 2011 and 2012, in conformity with Croatian legislation, should cover that requirement.

               (4)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 431/2008 of 19 May 2008 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals covered by CN code 0202 and products covered by CN code 0206 29 91 (6) opened an annual import tariff quota of 53 000 tonnes of frozen beef for a period running every year from 1 July to 30 June of the following year. As regards the quota period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014, it should be specified that the proof to be presented by operators from Croatia for the application for import rights should not relate to imports carried out from Member States.

               (5)

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

   of 18 December 2009
   concluding the new exporter review of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of chamois leather originating in the People's Republic of China, levying retroactively and imposing an anti-dumping duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and terminating the registration of these imports
   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 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted from the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   1.   MEASURES IN FORCE

               (1)

               By Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 (2), the Council, following an investigation (‘the original investigation’), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of chamois leather originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’). The measures in force consist of an ad valorem definitive country-wide duty rate of 58,9 %.

         2.   CURRENT INVESTIGATION

   (a)   Request for a review

               (2)

               Subsequent to the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping measures, the Commission received a request for a new exporter review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The request was based on the claim that the exporting producer, Henan Prosper Skins and Leather Enterprise Co. Ltd. (‘the applicant’):

                           (i)

                           did not export chamois leather before or during the investigation period of the original investigation;

                           (ii)

                           was not related to any of the exporting producers subject to the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006;

                           (iii)

                           had started to export chamois leather to the Union after the end of the investigation period of the original investigation;

                           (iv)

                           operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively claims individual treatment in conformity with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.

         (b)   Initiation of a new exporter review

               (3)

               The Commission examined the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Union industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Regulation (EC) No 573/2009 (3), a review of Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 with regard to the applicant.

               (4)

               Pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation 573/2009, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 on imports of chamois leather produced by the applicant was repealed. Simultaneously, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities were directed to take appropriate steps to register the imports of chamois leather produced by the applicant.

         (c)   Product concerned

               (5)

               The product concerned by the current review is chamois leather as defined in the original investigation, i.e. chamois leather and combination chamois leather, whether or not cut to shape, including crust chamois and combination crust chamois leather (‘chamois leather’) originating in the People's Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes 4114 10 10 and 4114 10 90.

         (d)   Parties concerned

               (6)

               The Commission officially advised the Union industry, the applicant and the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard.

         (e)   Review investigation period

               (7)

               The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 (‘review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).

         3.   WITHDRAWAL OF COOPERATION AND OF THE REQUEST FOR A NEW EXPORTER REVIEW

               (8)

               The Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadlines set. During the verification of the applicant's questionnaire reply at their premises, the applicant provided false and misleading information within the meaning of Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation. Furthermore, the applicant decided to cease cooperation altogether and the verification had to be terminated without being completed. On 21 September 2009, the applicant formally withdrew its application for a new exporter review.

               (9)

               The applicant was informed that the information supplied by it could not be considered reliable and would be rejected and was invited to provide further explanations within a given deadline in accordance with Article 18(4) of the basic Regulation. The applicant did not supply any further explanation.

               (10)

               In the above circumstances, despite the withdrawal of the application, it was considered appropriate to continue the investigation ex officio and base findings with regard to the applicant on facts available within the meaning of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

               (11)

               In the absence of other information, the duty rate to be applied to the applicant is set at the level of the country-wide duty.

         4.   CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION AND RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY

               (12)

               In the light of the above findings, it was concluded that imports into the Union of chamois leather and combination chamois leather, whether or not cut to shape, including crust chamois leather and combination crust chamois leather, currently falling within CN codes 4114 10 10 and 4114 10 90, originating in the People's Republic of China, produced and sold for export to the Union by Henan Prosper Skins & Leather Enterprise Co. Ltd. (TARIC additional code A957) should be subject to an anti-dumping duty at the level of the antidumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 on all companies in the People's Republic of China and that that rate of anti-dumping duty should be re-imposed and levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned, which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 573/2009.

         5.   DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES

               (13)

               The applicant, the Union industry and the representatives of the exporting country were informed of the essential facts and considerations leading to the above conclusions and were given an opportunity to comment. No comments of a nature as to warrant a change of the above conclusions were received.

               (14)

               This review does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1338/2006 will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/665
      of 26 April 2016
      concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (2)

                  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

                  (3)

                  Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

                  (4)

                  It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at 3 months.

                  (5)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
      Article 2
      Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of 3 months from the date of entry into force of 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, 26 April 2016.

               For the Commission,

               On behalf of the President,

               Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

         (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

         (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

         ANNEX

                     Description of the goods

                     Classification
                     (CN code)

                     Reasons

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     A hand-held electric apparatus (so-called ‘glue gun’) designed to apply hot melted glue to wood and other materials. The body of the apparatus is made of plastics and has an interchangeable nozzle made of base metal. The nozzle is adjustable so the flow of the glue can be regulated.
                     When the apparatus is turned on, a delivery tube controlled by a thermostat is heated which in turn heats a replaceable glue stick (with a maximum temperature of 207 °C). The glue becomes soft and can be applied to the materials to be glued.
                     It is designed to be used mainly by professionals, for example, in the packaging industry, the furniture industry, or a stand assembly.
                     See image (*).

                     8419 89 98

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI, and by the wording of CN codes 8419 , 8419 89  and 8419 89 98 .
                     Classification under heading 8205  as a hand tool of base metal, not elsewhere specified or included, is excluded as the function of the apparatus is specified in Chapter 84.
                     Classification under heading 8424  as a mechanical appliance for projecting, dispersing, or spraying liquids or powders or as a spray gun is also excluded as the glue is not projected, dispersed nor sprayed.
                     Classification under heading 8516  as an electrothermic appliance of a kind used for domestic purposes is also excluded as the apparatus is designed for use by professionals and is not of a kind normally used in the household (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8516 , (E)).
                     Classification under heading 8465  as a machine tool for working wood is also excluded, as the apparatus does not work the wood. In addition, it is held by hand and not mounted elsewhere (see also the HSEN to heading 8465 ).
                     The apparatus is designed for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature by heating (a function falling under heading 8419 ), which is considered its principal function, and for regulation of the flow of the glue and its application (an individual function, not specified or included elsewhere).
                     It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8419 89 98  as other machinery, electrically heated, for the treatment of materials.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 786/2012
   of 30 August 2012
   amending and correcting Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector
   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 134, Article 161(3), Article 170 and Article 192(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 of 31 August 2009 laying down detailed rules for the Member States’ notification to the Commission of information and documents in implementation of the common organisation of the markets, the direct payments’ regime, the promotion of agricultural products and the regimes applicable to the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands (2) lays down common rules for notifying information and documents by the competent authorities of the Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. In addition, that Regulation sets common principles applying to the information systems so that they guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents and provides for personal data protection.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 the obligation to use the information systems in accordance with that Regulation has to be provided for in the Regulations establishing a specific notification obligation.

               (3)

               The Commission has developed an information system that allows managing documents and procedures electronically in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy. It is considered that several notification obligations can be fulfilled via that system in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009, in particular those provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (3).

               (4)

               In the interest of an efficient administration and taking account of the experience, some notifications should be either simplified and specified or deleted in Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

               (5)

               For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to provide explicitly that Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4) applies to the licences provided for in Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, save as otherwise provided in the latter Regulation.

               (6)

               Isoglucose products are not listed in Section C of Part II of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, therefore no export licence is required for the exports of isoglucose which is in free circulation on the Union market and which is not considered as ‘out-of-quota’ to be exported without refund. This should be reflected in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, where any reference to isoglucose should be deleted.

               (7)

               According to point (d) of the first paragraph of Article 61 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar or isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed by the Commission. When fixing the quantitative limit the Commission has to respect the commitments resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 218 of the Treaty.

               (8)

               At times of large Union production of out-of-quota sugar, in particular when coupled with high world market prices, applications for export licences submitted by sugar manufacturers can exceed significantly the available quantities. The strong competition of operators for export licences may lead to a situation where certain operators apply for licences exceeding their actual production of out-of-quota sugar in respect of the marketing year concerned. Such speculative behaviour could mean loss of export possibilities for Union out-of-quota sugar and increasing the pressure on the Union market for out-of-quota sugar and therefore also increasing the risk of accumulation of surplus sugar.

               (9)

               According to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 the rights deriving from licences or certificates can be transferred once by their titular holder during the validity of the licence or certificate concerned. In order to reduce the risks of speculative behaviour of sugar manufacturers it is appropriate to prohibit the transfer of export licences in the case of out-of-quota sugar.

               (10)

               Article 3(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 of 28 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixing additional import duties in the poultry meat and egg sectors and for egg albumin, and repealing Regulation No 163/67/EEC (5) and Article 4(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 504/2007 of 8 May 2007 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for additional import duties in the milk and milk products sector (6) set the time limit for the importers concerned to prove that the consignment in question was disposed of under conditions confirming the correctness of the declared cif import price. For the sake of harmonisation of the implementing rules applicable to the additional import duties in the different sectors, it is appropriate to align Article 38(4) of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 to Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 and Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 504/2007.

               (11)

               Article 34(3) of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 lays down that Member States have to provide the Commission each month with information related to the molasses world market. Experience has shown that, due to the characteristics of the molasses markets, such information is difficult to obtain and most Member States have no relevant information to provide. It is therefore appropriate to delete that notification obligation.

               (12)

               Chapter 17 of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (7) as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (8) contains new CN codes for the various raw sugar products which are different from those referred to in Regulation (EC) No 951/2006. For the sake of legal clarity those new codes should be reflected in Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

               (13)

               At the occasion of those amendments it is appropriate to correct an obvious error regarding an internal reference.

               (14)

               Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

               (15)

               For reasons of transparency and equal treatment this Regulation should apply from the beginning of the 2012-2013 marketing year. However, since the correction of Article 12a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should have a retroactive effect which duly respects the legitimate expectations of those concerned, that correction should apply as from the date of entry into force of the amending act which inserted the erroneous reference into Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, namely Commission Regulation (EC) No 910/2008 (9).

               (16)

               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

               Calculating methods
               1.   If the yield of imported raw sugar as determined in accordance with Section B.III of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 differs from the yield fixed for the standard quality, the customs tariff duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 12 10, 1701 13 10 and 1701 14 10, and the additional duty for products falling within CN codes 1701 12 10, 1701 12 90, 1701 13 10, 1701 13 90, 1701 14 10 and 1701 14 90 to be levied per 100 kilograms of the said raw sugar shall be calculated by multiplying the corresponding duty fixed for raw sugar of the standard quality by a correcting coefficient. The correcting coefficient shall be obtained by dividing the percentage of the yield of the imported raw sugar by 92.
               2.   For the products referred to in point (c) of Part III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, shall be determined by the application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the solution inverted according to Clerget-Herzfeld. The total sugar content thus determined shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by 0,95.
               However, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, of products containing less than 85 % sucrose or other sugars expressed as sucrose, and invert sugar expressed as sucrose shall be determined by ascertaining the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined according to the specific gravity of the solution diluted in a proportion of 1 to 1 by weight and, for solid products, by drying. The dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying by the coefficient 1.
               3.   For the products referred to in points (d) and (g) of Part III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the dry matter content shall be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article.
               4.   For the products referred to in point (e) of Part III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the conversion into sucrose equivalent shall be obtained by multiplying the dry matter determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article by the coefficient 1,9.’;

   Article 3
   Entry into force and application
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 October 2012. However, Article 2 shall apply from 26 September 2008.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 268/2014
   of 14 March 2014
   fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 March 2014
   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),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 16 March 2014 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   From 16 March 2014, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
