            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/535
      of 5 April 2016
      amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the entry of Singapore in the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which the introduction into the Union of fresh meat is authorised
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) and Articles 8(4) and 9(4) thereof,
      Having regard to 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 (2), and in particular Article 11(1) and Article 16 thereof,
      Having regard to Council Decision 97/132/EC of 17 December 1996 on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Directive 2002/99/EC lays down, inter alia, the animal health requirements for the introduction into the Union of products of animal origin for human consumption. In accordance with those requirements, the introduction of such products into the Union is only to be authorised from third countries that appear on a list drawn up by the Commission.

                  (2)

                  Directive 2002/99/EC also provides that rules and certification for transit may be laid down.

                  (3)

                  The Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products, attached to Decision 97/132/EC (‘The Agreement’), provides for the establishment of guarantees for the introduction of fresh meat from New Zealand that are equivalent to those laid down in Union law, in particular by Directive 2002/99/EC and Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (4). Such equivalence has been established for fresh meat on animal and public health as laid down in Annex V to the Agreement.

                  (4)

                  Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 lays down, inter alia, the conditions for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat. To this end, Part 1 of its Annex II sets out a list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which such consignments may be introduced into the Union and the models of veterinary certificates to accompany those consignments, taking into account any specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required.

                  (5)

                  New Zealand is listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as a country authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of domestic bovine, ovine and porcine animals, domestic solipeds, farmed and wild non-domestic animals of the order Artiodactyla and farmed and wild non-domestic animals belonging to the Suidae, Tayassuidae or Tapiridae families.

                  (6)

                  Upon entry into the Union such consignments must be accompanied by the appropriate model veterinary certificates as set out in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, without prejudice to specific certification requirements provided for in Union agreements with third countries. As regards those consignments from New Zealand, such requirements are set out in Annex V to the Agreement and the veterinary certificate model set out in Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1901 (5).

                  (7)

                  New Zealand seeks for a faster way of transport to the Union of consignments of fresh meat for a more efficient use of such meat, considering its shelf life. New Zealand therefore envisages to transport such consignments by air plane to Singapore, unload them from means of air transport, having the possibility for temporary storage in an approved establishment in the Customs area of Singapore airport, reload them in the same establishment and transit them through the territory of Singapore to the departure port for transport by container vessel from Singapore to the Union.

                  (8)

                  Singapore therefore has requested to be authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of New Zealand origin, eligible for introduction into the Union and destined to the Union, in order to allow unloading, storage, reloading and transit through Singapore of such consignments.

                  (9)

                  At the time of departure from New Zealand such fresh meat is to comply with the specific public and animal health requirements for introduction into the Union. The competent authority of Singapore has established import controls and procedures to ensure that unloading, storage, reloading and transit through Singapore will not affect such compliance.

                  (10)

                  In March 2015, the Commission carried out a fact finding audit in Singapore, to gather information on and to assess the import controls carried out by the competent authorities of Singapore and the transit procedure established in relation to the requested authorisation. The Commission concluded from the outcome of that audit that import controls and transit procedures implemented by the competent authorities of Singapore offer satisfactory guarantees to ensure the integrity and safety of the consignments of fresh meat from New Zealand, in particular as regards animal and public health requirements.

                  (11)

                  To certify those import controls and transit procedures, a veterinary certificate should be issued by the competent authority of Singapore to further be presented to the border inspection post of introduction into the Union. To this purpose a model veterinary certificate ‘NZ-TRANSIT-SG’ is drawn up.

                  (12)

                  The Agreement lays down specific rules on certification, frontier checks and inspection fees for imports from New Zealand which are also applicable to consignments in transit through Singapore.

                  (13)

                  The Agreement enables for certificates to be provided electronically for New Zealand products exported to the Union, through use of the Union integrated electronic system established by Commission Decision 2003/24/EC (6) (‘TRACES’).

                  (14)

                  To align with the electronic certification requirements for New Zealand as laid down in Annex VII to the Agreement and Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1901, the model veterinary certificate ‘NZ-TRANSIT-SG’ should be laid down in TRACES.

                  (15)

                  Upon the entry into the Union, the consignments should be accompanied by both the appropriate model of veterinary certificate issued by the competent authority of New Zealand and the model of veterinary certificate ‘NZ-TRANSIT-SG’, issued by the competent authority of Singapore in TRACES, in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (16)

                  It is therefore appropriate to amend Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 in order to add the entry of Singapore to the list of third countries, territories and parts thereof to be authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat originating from New Zealand, destined to the Union and being unloaded, reloaded and transited with or without storage through Singapore.

                  (17)

                  It is furthermore appropriate to amend Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 to add the model of veterinary certificate ‘NZ-TRANSIT-SG’ to the list of Models of veterinary certificates.

                  (18)

                  Parts 1 and 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (19)

                  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:

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/533
      of 31 March 2016
      amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
      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)

                  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Combined Nomenclature’), which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

                  (2)

                  In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to clarify the determination of the protein content in soy-based beverages classified under subheadings 2202 90 11 and 2202 90 15 of the Combined Nomenclature.

                  (3)

                  The Kjeldahl method laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (2) should be applied for determination of the content of crude protein. The Kjeldahl method is the internationally recognised method for estimating the protein content in food, because of its universality, precision and reproducibility. The conversion factor to determine the protein content on the basis of the total nitrogen content depends on the type of protein present in the sample. Taking into account that here the soy protein content has to be determined, a conversion factor of 6,25 should be applied.

                  (4)

                  A new Additional note should therefore be added to Chapter 22 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.

                  (5)

                  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (6)

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

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      In Chapter 22 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the following Additional note 13 is added:

                     ‘13.

                     For the purposes of subheadings 2202 90 11 and 2202 90 15, the protein content shall be determined by multiplying the total nitrogen content, calculated using the method laid down in points 2 to 8 of part C of Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (*), by the factor of 6,25.

      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.
         Done at Brussels, 31 March 2016.

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to clarify the scope of Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature as including seaweeds and other algae that are prepared or preserved by processes such as cooking, roasting, seasoning and adding sugar, and hence not covered by heading 1212 (‧seaweeds and other algae, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground‧). Seaweeds and other algae are considered "other plants" in the meaning of the Combined Nomenclature.

               (3)

               A new Additional Note should therefore be inserted in Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure a uniform interpretation throughout the territory of the Union.

               (4)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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
   In Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the following Additional Note 9 is inserted:

                     Seaweeds and other algae prepared or preserved by processes not provided for in Chapter 12, such as cooking, roasting, seasoning or adding sugar, fall in Chapter 20 as preparations of other parts of plants. Seaweeds and other algae, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not ground, are to be classified under heading 1212.”

   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 196/2014
   of 28 February 2014
   fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 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 1 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 1 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1265/2012
   of 17 December 2012
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 837/2012 as regards the minimum activity of a preparation of 6-phytase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594) as feed additive for poultry, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows (holder of authorisation DSM Nutritional Products)
   (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 13(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The use of a preparation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on poultry, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 837/2012 (2).

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of the preparation concerned by adding a new solid formulation with a minimum activity of 10 000 FYT/g. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).

               (3)

               The Authority concluded in its opinion of 24 May 2012 (3) that the new enzyme solid formulation is not expected to introduce hazards to the target species, consumers, users or the environment not already considered and it is efficacious at the minimum activity of 10 000 FYT/g. 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.

               (4)

               The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 837/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               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 Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 837/2012 is amended in accordance with 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.

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

   of 28 March 2014
   imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station
   (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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.

               (2)

               Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health in the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 (2) was adopted. That Regulation was replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 (3) which was later replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 284/2012 (4). The latter was replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 996/2012 (5).

               (3)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 996/2012 has been amended to take into account the development of the situation. Since Implementing Regulation (EU) No 996/2012 only applies until 31 March 2014 and in order to take into account the further development of the situation, it is appropriate to adopt a new Regulation.

               (4)

               The existing measures have been reviewed taking into account more than 85 000 occurrence data on radioactivity in feed and food other than beef and more than 232 000 occurrence data on radioactivity in beef, provided by the Japanese authorities concerning the third growing season after the accident.

               (5)

               Since non-compliant or significant levels of radioactivity continue to be found in feed and food originating in the prefecture of Fukushima, it is appropriate to maintain the existing requirement of sampling and analysis before export to the Union for all feed and food originating in that prefecture. However, the general exemptions, such as for alcoholic beverages and personal consignments, should continue to apply in relation to such feed and food.

               (6)

               The data submitted by the Japanese authorities provide evidence that it is no longer necessary to require the sampling and analysis of feed and food originating in the prefectures of Tokyo and Kanagawa regarding the presence of radioactivity before export to the Union. On the other hand as a consequence of the finding of non-compliance in certain edible wild plants originating from the prefectures Akita, Yamagata and Nagano, it is appropriate to require sampling and analysis of those edible wild plants originating from those prefectures.

               (7)

               As regards the prefectures of Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Saitama, Iwate and Chiba, it is currently required to sample and analyse mushrooms, tea, fishery products, certain edible wild plants, certain vegetables, certain fruits, rice and soybeans and the processed and derived products thereof, before export to the Union. The same requirements apply to compound foodstuffs containing more than 50 % of those products. The occurrence data for the third growing season provide evidence that for a significant number of those feed and food commodities, it is appropriate to no longer require sampling and analysis before export to the Union.

               (8)

               The occurrence data from the third growing season provide evidence that it is appropriate to maintain the requirement for sampling and analysis before export to the Union for mushrooms originating from Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Nagano, Niigata and Aomori.

               (9)

               It is appropriate to present the provisions of this Regulation in a manner that prefectures of which the same feed and food has to be sampled and analysed before export to the Union are grouped together, in order to facilitate the application of this Regulation.

               (10)

               Tea from the third growing season has not been found to be contaminated by radioactivity. It is therefore appropriate to no longer require sampling and analysis of tea, originating from prefectures other than Fukushima, before export to the Union. In the prefecture Fukushima, tea is only produced in small quantities and destined for local consumption and not for export. In the very unlikely case that tea from Fukushima is exported to the Union, the Japanese authorities have provided guarantees that the relevant consignments would be sampled and analysed and accompanied by the declaration providing evidence that the consignment has been sampled and analysed and has been found in compliance with the applicable maximum levels. Consignments of tea originating from prefectures other than Fukushima should normally be accompanied by a declaration stating that the tea is originating from a prefecture other than Fukushima. Given that tea from those prefectures is regularly exported to the Union, this constitutes a considerable administrative burden. Taking into account that tea has not been found contaminated during the third growing season after the accident, the unlikely case that tea is exported from Fukushima and the guarantees provided by the Japanese authorities, it is appropriate to no longer require a declaration of origin for tea originating from prefectures other than Fukushima, in order to reduce the administrative burden.

               (11)

               The controls performed at import show that the special conditions provided for by Union law are correctly implemented by the Japanese authorities and non-compliance has not occurred for more than two years. Therefore, it is appropriate to further reduce the frequency of controls at import.

               (12)

               It is appropriate to foresee a next review of the provisions when the results of sampling and analysis on the presence of radioactivity of feed and food of the fourth growing season after the accident will be available, i.e. by 31 March 2015.

               (13)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 928/2011
   of 16 September 2011
   on the issue of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of September 2011 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for poultrymeat
   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 (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 (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 of 14 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
   Whereas:

               Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 opened tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.

               The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of September 2011 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2011 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested,

   Article 1
   The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2011 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 September 2011.

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