         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1393
   of 13 August 2015
   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Καλαμάτα (Kalamata) (PDO)]
   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 Article 52(3)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 entered into force on 3 January 2013. It repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (2).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission examined Greece's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin (henceforth: PDO) ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata), registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1065/97 (3).

               (3)

               Since the amendments in question were not minor within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (4) as required by Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.

               (4)

               The Commission received 5 oppositions pursuant to Article 7(1) and 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (5). The first one was received on 14 December 2012 from the Swiss Company NECTRA FOOD SA. The second one was received on 17 December 2012 from the Egyptian Company FAR TRADING CO. The third one was received on 17 December 2012 from the Norwegian Company Oluf Lorentzen AS. The fourth one was received on 20 December 2012 from the United Kingdom. The fifth one was received on 17 December 2012 from the Danish Company CARL B.FELDTHUSEN.

               (5)

               The last opposition was considered not admissible since, according to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, legal persons established in a Member State may not lodge a statement of opposition directly with the Commission. The other oppositions were deemed admissible.

               (6)

               By letters dated 15 February 2013, the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations to seek agreement among themselves within six months in accordance with their internal procedures.

               (7)

               No agreement was reached between the parties within the time limit.

               (8)

               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.

               (9)

               The opponents claim that the geographical area resulting from the amendment is not homogenous since the part of the geographical area additionally covered by the amendment request does not possess the same unique microclimatic characteristics as the current PDO area; that the chemical and organoleptic characteristics, and therefore the quality, of the olive oil produced in the amended area proposed are lower than those of the olive oil produced in the current PDO area; that this decline in quality would imply a loss of image and reputation of the product; that the extension of the area would mislead consumers since it is no longer produced in the area of Kalamata province but in the area of Messinia Region and since it can be even bottled outside that Region; that the new geographical area is not delimited with regard to the link; that the absence of a geographical bottling restriction dilutes the link between the product and the area, generates problems of traceability and exposes the product to possible frauds and quality deterioration; that the statistical relevance and representativeness of the data carried out to support the amendment application are questionable; that the web link in the published single document leading to the amended product specification did not work properly.

               (10)

               Despite the above mentioned allegations submitted by the opponent, it is appropriate to approve the amendment to the product specification of the PDO ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) for the following reasons.

               (11)

               The homogeneity of natural and human factors inside the area of Messinia is exhaustively described in the application for amendment, in the single document and in the product specification. The opponent did not provide evidence that the pedo-climatic conditions in the part of the geographical area additionally covered by the amendment request are substantially different from the ones of the current geographical area. In addition, Messinia region is presently the defined geographical area of the PDO ‘Elia Kalamatas’ (olive of Kalamata). In conclusion, the area of Messinia, as defined in the application for amendment, is liable to qualify as the defined geographical area for the PDO ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) covering olive oil.

               (12)

               The claim concerning the devaluation of the quality and the loss of reputation was not supported with concrete details giving evidence of such a quality decrease. The analysis of the data on the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of the olive oil produced in the two areas, included in the study enclosed to the oppositions, is not conclusive in demonstrating that the characteristics of the olive oil produced in the amended area proposed are lower than those of the olive oil produced in the current PDO area. In contrast, the data provided by the Greek authorities show that the two olive oils have overall the same organoleptic and chemical characteristics with negligible differences.

               (13)

               In addition, to let a product reaching or maintaining a given quality or image is not the aim of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 which does not contain any provision to that purpose. As long as it can be verified that the characteristics of the product issued from the modified geographical area, similar to the characteristics of the product issued from the current PDO area, are essentially due to the natural and human factors of the modified geographical area the application for amendment complies with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

               (14)

               There are numerous cases of registered PDOs whose names do not correspond to the name of the geographical area. Accordingly, the fact that, following the amendment application, the PDO will be produced also in the Messinia Region is not at variance with Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

               (15)

               The sentence in the product specification clarifying that the product may be bottled outside the defined geographical area is not at variance with Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 and does not affect the link. In the framework of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, an obligation to package the product within the area derogates from the standard rules and must be justified in accordance with Article 7(1) point (e) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. If justified, it is up to the applicant to insert this kind of restrictions in the product specification. In the present case, the applicants did not propose such a restriction. In addition, the opponents did not give sufficient product-specific justifications as to why packaging in the delimited geographical area should be compulsory.

               (16)

               Opponents claim that the analysis of the data on the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of the olive oil produced in the established geographical area and of the olive oil produced in the rest of the geographical area, as amended, reported in the study enclosed to the oppositions, clearly demonstrates that the new geographical area is not delimited with regard to the link. The Commission considers that this analysis is not useful to conclude that the amended area is not defined with regard to the link. It fails to demonstrate that the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of the olive oil produced in the amended area proposed and those of the olive oil produced in the current PDO area are not homogenous. The opponents failed to explain their conclusion that the amended area is not defined with regard to the link.

               (17)

               The opponents also criticise the data supporting the amendment request and demonstrating that the olive oil produced in the Messinia Region possesses characteristics making it homogenous with the olive oil produced in the current PDO area. The opponents claim that these data are statistically incapable of providing results with scientific significance. They see the data as geographically not representative and insufficient as regards the number of samples and the production years taken into consideration.

               (18)

               The Commission has verified the reliability of the above mentioned data with the Greek authorities. Additional figures were also provided. These figures are based on solid statistical grounds as regards the production years considered and the number and geographical distribution of the samples. It stems from these data that the olive oil produced in the established geographical area of the PDO ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) and the olive oil produced in the rest of the geographical area, as amended, have the same organoleptic and chemical characteristics overall, with negligible differences.

               (19)

               A typing error was identified in the table included in point 3.2 of the amendment application: the average acidity value for the area ‘rest of Messinia’ is not 0,49 but 0,37. This clerical error does not prejudge the final assessment on the homogeneity of the oil produced in the two areas and it does not constitute a substantial change that requires the amendment application to be published again.

               (20)

               At last, opponents invoked that the internet address included in the single document annexed to the application for amendment of the PDO ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) leading to the most recent version of the product specification did not work properly. This allegedly prevented the researchers who drafted the study for the opponents from having access to any publication reference of the specification.

               (21)

               The Greek authorities have confirmed that the link worked properly during the whole opposition period. The opponents failed to provide detailed information as to the circumstances (i.e. date, number of attempts to access the site etc. …) under which the link was found not working. In conclusion, also in the light of the detailed and well developed four oppositions received showing a thorough knowledge of the specification and an in-depth scrutiny thereof, the Commission considers that the right to oppose to the approval of the amendment of the PDO ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) was not affected.

               (22)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name ‘Καλαμάτα’ (Kalamata) (PDO) are hereby approved.

   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.

   of 27 August 2012
   on advances to be paid from 16 October 2012 of the direct payments listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 29(4)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides that payments under support schemes listed in Annex I to that Regulation are to be made within the period from 1 December to 30 June of the following calendar year. However, Article 29(4)(a) of that Regulation permits the Commission to provide for advances.

               (2)

               In 2012 unfavourable weather conditions in Europe, with an extreme drought in some Member States and a very harsh winter and rainfalls in others, have caused serious damages on the crop and fodder production. Severe financial difficulties have been encountered by farmers as a result, in particular by cattle producers. These difficulties are compounded by the effects of the ongoing financial crisis which have caused many farmers to be confronted with serious liquidity problems. In order to help to alleviate these difficulties it is appropriate to allow for farmers to receive advance payments of up to 50 % of the support schemes listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. Regarding the beef and veal payments provided for in Section 11 of Chapter 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Member States should also be authorised to increase the payment of advances as referred to in Article 82 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards the support schemes for farmers provided for in Titles IV and V thereof (2), to up to 80 % of the payment.

               (3)

               In order to ensure that the advance payments will be accounted for under the 2013 budget year, they should be made from 16 October 2012. The necessary verification of eligibility conditions under Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should nevertheless be carried out before payment of the advances in the interests of good financial management.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Member States may pay, from 16 October 2012, advances to farmers of up to 50 % of the direct payments listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in respect of applications made in 2012, provided that the verification of the eligibility conditions pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 has been finalised.
   Regarding the beef and veal payments provided for in Section 11 of Chapter 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Member States shall be authorised to increase the amount referred to in the first paragraph to up to 80 %.
   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.

                   (2).

               (2)

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 7(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Italian application to register the name ‘Seggiano’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2).

               The United Kingdom submitted an objection to the registration under Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objection was deemed admissible under Article 7 (3) of that Regulation.

               (3)

               The United Kingdom indicated in the objection that the registration of the name in question would be contrary to Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and would jeopardise the existence of trademarks registered in its territory.

               (4)

               By letter dated 18 November 2010, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.

               (5)

               Given that an agreement was reached between Italy and the United Kingdom within the designated timeframe, with minor modifications of the specification and no modification of the single document published in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the name ‘Seggiano’ should be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 349/2014
   of 3 April 2014
   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, 3 April 2014.

            For the Commission,

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A soft reversible textile article in the form of a basket, measuring approximately 35 cm × 25 cm, with stuffed edges (height 10 cm) and a stuffed bottom. One of the outer sides of the article is made of woven fabric (100 % polyester), the other side is made of knitted plush fabric (100 % polyester). The article is for use by small pets.
                  (see photographs A and B) (1)

                  6307 90 98

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 90 and 6307 90 98.
                  Given its objective characteristics, the article is a textile basket designed to give comfort to small pets.
                  Classification as furniture under heading 9403 is excluded because that heading covers products of a different nature which are used for private dwellings, hotels, offices, schools, churches, shops, laboratories, etc. (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 9403 of the HS).
                  Classification under heading 9404 is also excluded as textile baskets are not similar to articles of bedding and similar furnishing. Moreover, the article has no additional elements pointing to its use as a bedding article.
                  The article is considered a made-up textile article within the meaning of heading 6307.
                  The interior and exterior are equally essential to the article, due to the fact that it can be turned inside out and used either way. As it cannot be established whether the knitted plush fabric (leading to a classification under CN code 6307 90 10) or the woven fabric (leading to a classification under CN code 6307 90 98) gives the article its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b), the article has to be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 98.
