   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 947/2014 (4) and (EU) No 948/2014 (5) opened private storage for butter and skimmed milk powder, respectively, in view of the particular difficult market situation, notably resulting from the ban introduced by the Russian government on imports of dairy products from the Union to Russia.

               (2)

               Those Regulations provide that applications for aid can be lodged until 31 December 2014.

               (3)

               Prices of butter and skimmed milk powder in the Union have further deteriorated and downward pressure is likely to carry on.

               (4)

               In view of the current market situation it is appropriate to extend the private storage aid schemes for butter and skimmed milk powder.

   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013 concerning the authorisation of cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate, cobalt(II) carbonate, cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate, cobalt(II) sulphate heptahydrate and coated granulated cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate as feed additives
   (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)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013 (2) authorised cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate, cobalt(II) carbonate, cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate, cobalt(II) sulphate heptahydrate and coated granulated cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate as feed additives belonging to the category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’.

               (2)

               In order to clarify the identification of the additive cobalt(II) carbonate, the chemical formula Cobalt hydroxide should be deleted from the active substances.

               (3)

               For better clarity and to avoid confusion with the identification numbers of selenium compounds authorised as feed additives, it is appropriate to technically modify the identification numbers for the cobalt compounds.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 12 June 2012 (3), (4) and 22 May 2012 (5) that specific measures for the protection of the users should be foreseen. The respective requirement that compounds with a high dusting potential must be placed on the market in a pelleted form could be expanded to other non-powder forms without compromising the risk for the users.

               (5)

               The applicant for coated granulated cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate submitted data in order to substantiate that the substance coated is cobalt(II) carbonate and not cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide (2:3) monohydrate. After verification in the application dossier which was the basis for the above mentioned opinion of the Authority (6), it appears necessary to change the authorisation terms of this product accordingly.

               (6)

               As a result of the granting of new authorisations by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003 (7) concerning cobaltous acetate tetrahydrate, basic cobaltous carbonate monohydrate and cobaltous sulphate heptahydrate are obsolete and should be deleted.

               (7)

               As a consequence of these modifications, the transitional period provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013 should be extended in order to allow interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the requirements resulting from the amendments. As regards feed intended for pet animals, the market consists in a huge number of different products with a specific labelling system. It is therefore appropriate to prolong such a transitional period in order to allow a smooth transition for the feed business operators concerned.

               (8)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013 should be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               In addition, a transitional period for operators who applied the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 601/2013 should be established.

               (10)

               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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2351
   of 14 December 2015
   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 three months.

               (5)

               The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,

         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 three 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, 14 December 2015.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Heinz ZOUREK

            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 gardening kit presented in a plastic packing consisting of the following articles:

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR).
                  The items cannot be considered as goods put up in a set for retail sale within the terms of GIR 3 (b) as not all of them are put up together to meet a particular need or to carry out a specific activity.
                  The bag is not used for gardening, but to contain the other articles. It may be also used independently of any gardening activity.
                  The pencil is also not a gardening tool and it has its own practical use elsewhere.
                  If one or more of the articles of a ‘set’ do not meet the same particular need or are not designed to carry out the same specific activity, each article has to be classified separately (see also the Guidelines on the classification in the Combined Nomenclature of goods put up in sets for retail sale, Part B (II) (2)).
                  The individual articles, as referred to in the description of the goods, are to be classified as follows:

                              (a)

                              Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 4202, 4202 22 and 4202 22 90.
                              It is to be classified as a handbag with outer surface of textile material under CN code 4202 22 90.

                              (b)

                              Classification is determined by the wording of CN code 6216 00 00.
                              The woven textile material is considered to be the constituent material of the gloves. Therefore, they are to be classified as gloves under CN code 6216 00 00.

                              (c)

                              Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 8201 and 8201 50 00.
                              It is to be classified as shears under CN code 8201 50 00.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1295/2014
   of 4 December 2014
   amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin
   (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 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto (‘the list’), at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

               (2)

               Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.

               (3)

               The occurrence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of audits to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended.

               (4)

               In particular, the list should be amended by deleting the entries for commodities for which the available information indicates an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official controls is therefore no longer justified. The entries in the list concerning oranges from Egypt and coriander leaves, basil and mint from Thailand should therefore be deleted.

               (5)

               In addition, the list should be amended by increasing the frequency of official controls for the commodities for which the same sources of information show a higher degree of non-compliance with the relevant Union legislation, thereby warranting an increased level of official controls. The entries in the list concerning dried spices from India, betel leaves from India and Thailand and vine leaves from Turkey should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               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
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2015.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 4 December 2014.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1404/2013
   of 20 December 2013
   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening (holder of authorisation BASF SE)
   (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 endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               That application concerns the authorisation of a new use of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for weaned piglets, chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening and ducks for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2009 (2) and for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (3).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in its opinion of 18 June 2013 (4) confirmed its previous conclusions that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that it has the potential to be efficacious in pigs for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

                        Classification
                        (CN-code)

                        Reasons

                        (1)

                        (2)

                        (3)

                        An unassembled modular screen panel (so-called “LED wall”), comprising several modules in the form of tiles, each tile measuring approximately 38 × 38 × 9 cm.
                        Each tile contains red, green and blue light emitting diodes and has a resolution of 16 × 16 pixels, a dot pitch of 24 mm, a brightness of 2 000  cd/m2 and a refresh rate of more than 300 Hz. They also contain drive electronics.
                        The panel is presented together with a processing system comprising:

                                    —

                                    a video processor accepting various signal inputs (such as CVBS, Y/C, YUV/RGB, (HD-) SDI or DVI) and allowing the scaling of an image/video to the screen panel size,

                                    —

                                    a signal processor allowing the pixel mapping of the input signal to the screen panel.

                              The processed signal is sent from the signal processor to a data distributor using optical fibre cables. The data distributor sends in turn the data to the various tiles of the screen panel.
                        The panel is presented as being suitable for sport or entertainment events, retail signage, etc., but not suitable for close viewing.

                        8528 59 39

                        Classification is determined by general rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59  and 8528 59 39 .
                        Given that the panel is capable of displaying video it cannot be considered an electrical apparatus for signalling purposes using visual indication. Classification under heading 8531  as an indicator panel is therefore excluded.
                        Given its objective characteristics, such as the size of the screen, the supported TV standards (CVBS) and video modes, a dot pitch not suitable for close viewing and the high brightness, the intended use of the panel is for sport or entertainment events, retail signage, etc. Consequently, it is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471 . Classification under subheading 8528 51 00  is therefore also excluded.
                        As the panel is capable of displaying signals from an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.
                        It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 39  as other colour flat panel displays able to display signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.’
