         SECTION B: ACCOUNTING DATA

                  Financial data may be completed at any time to record the events of a single financial year. The financial year consists of 16/10/N-1 to 15/10/N. Once the data has been entered, validated (signed) and sent to the Commission each year (by 15 February or extended to 1 March), the data and the summaries will be fixed and can no longer be changed.
                  The Responsible Authority of the Member States which have not adopted the euro shall keep accounts covering the amounts expressed in the currency in which the expenditure was incurred and the revenue received. However, to enable all their expenditure and revenue to be consolidated, they shall be able to provide the corresponding data in national currency and in euro in accordance with Article 43(2) of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014.
                  There is a line for each payment made. There should not be more than 13 payments per year per project. If necessary payments may be grouped in monthly batches to limit the total number of payments made in a year.
                  For pledges, payments should be recorded in monthly batches (i.e. all the payments made during a month are recorded in SFC2014 as a one single payment made at the end of the month).
                  Recovery orders or financial penalties are to be recorded as negative payments.
                  Some closure payments may also be made as zero payments.

      ANNEX II

         MANAGEMENT DECLARATION

         Based on my own judgment and on all information available to me, including the results from all controls performed by or under the responsibility of the Responsible Authority (administrative, financial and operational on-the spot controls) in relation to the Union expenditure of the financial year

            [yyyy]

                  —

                     the management and control system put in place for the national programme has functioned effectively during the financial year in reference and has given the necessary guarantees concerning the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions, in conformity with the applicable law.

         I confirm that any irregularity identified in final audit or control reports in reference to the financial year has been appropriately treated and that, where necessary, adequate follow-up was given to those reports.

         OPINIONS OF THE AUDIT AUTHORITY

      Please provide a brief description of the Audit Strategy, including the sampling methodology which enables the Audit Authority to draw valid conclusions on the whole population

         [2 500 characters]

                     A:   AUDIT OPINION ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

                  To the European Commission, Directorate-General for Home Affairs
                  I, the undersigned, representing the [name of the authority], Audit Authority for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund/Internal Security Fund in
                        [Member State]
                      have examined the functioning of the management and control systems of the
                        [AMIF/ISF]
                      as well as the documents and information drawn-up by the Responsible Authority under Article 44 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and Article 59(5) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 that serve as the request for payment of the annual balance for the financial year N in order to issue an audit opinion in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and Article 59(5) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012. I have reached the following conclusions here-below.

            A:   OPINION: UNQUALIFIED, QUALIFIED OR ADVERSE(select 1 opinion)

                        Unqualified opinion on the validation of the accounts

                  Based on the examination referred to above, it is my opinion that the accounts for financial year N give a true and fair view and the Union expenditure for which reimbursement has been requested from the Commission is legal and regular.

                        Qualified opinion on the validation of the accounts

                  Based on the examination referred to above, it is my opinion that the accounts for financial year N give a true and fair view and the Union expenditure for which reimbursement has been requested from the Commission is legal and regular, except with regard to the following points:

                              A

                                 [500 characters]

                              B

                                 [500 characters]

                              C

                                 [500 characters]

                              D

                                 [500 characters]

                              E

                                 [500 characters]

                        Therefore I estimate the impact of the qualification(s) is [limited]/[significant]. This impact corresponds to [amount in EUR] and [%] of the total Union contribution declared.

                        Adverse opinion on the validation of the accounts

                  Based on the examination referred to above, it is my opinion that the accounts for financial year N do not give a true and fair view and the Union expenditure for which reimbursement has been requested from the Commission is not legal and regular.

                              This adverse opinion is based on:

                                 [900 characters]

                     B.   OPINION ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

                  Scope of the examination
                  The examination in respect of this programme was carried out in accordance with my audit strategy in respect of this national programme and taking into account internationally accepted auditing standards, with reference to the financial year N, and reported in the audit report [include reference — do not attach].
                  B:   OPINION: UNQUALIFIED, QUALIFIED OR ADVERSE (select 1 opinion)

                        Unqualified opinion

                  Based on the examination referred to above and with regard to the programme, I have reasonable assurance that the management and control systems put in place function properly.

                        Qualified opinion

                  Based on the examination referred to above and with regard to the programme, I have reasonable assurance that the management and control systems put in place function properly except in the following respect(s):

                              A

                        In case the management and control systems are affected, indicate the body or bodies and the aspect(s) of their systems that did not comply with requirements and did not operate effectively.
                  My reasons for considering that this (these) aspect(s) of the systems did not comply with the requirements or did not operate effectively are as follows:

                              A

                                 [500 characters]

                        Therefore I estimate the impact of the qualification(s) is [limited]/[significant]. This impact corresponds to [amount in EUR] and [%] of the total Union expenditure declared.

                        Adverse opinion

                  Based on the examination referred to above and with regard to the programme, I do not have reasonable assurance that the management and control systems put in place comply with the requirements of Articles 21, 24 and 27 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and function properly.

                              This adverse opinion is based on:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/345
   of 10 March 2016
   setting out the frequency of reporting of container status messages, the format of the data and the method of transmission
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 515/97 of 13 March 1997 on mutual assistance between the administrative authorities of the Member States and cooperation between the latter and the Commission to ensure the correct application of the law on customs and agricultural matters (1), and in particular Article 18c thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 515/97 provides that carriers are to submit data concerning container movements for the events listed in Article 18a paragraph 6 of the Regulation to the CSM directory managed by the Commission, but only in so far as these are known to the reporting carrier and the data for such events have been generated, collected or maintained in their electronic records.

               (2)

               To ensure the timely analysis of the data relating to container movements, to secure unimpeded transfer of such data from the maritime carriers to the CSMs directory and to guarantee a manageable level of diversity regarding possible ways of encoding data the frequency of reporting of CSMs, the format of the CSMs and the method of transmission should be specified.

               (3)

               Due to the volume and regular changes to the container traffic, the effective detection of fraud depends to a large extent on the timely identification of suspicious movements of containers. To guarantee the data received are used effectively, by limiting the risk that suspicious shipments will be moved to an undetermined location before the detection of suspicious consignments can be carried out effectively, carriers should be required to transmit CSMs to the CSM directory no later than 24 hours after the CSM is generated, collected or maintained in the carrier's electronic records.

               (4)

               To reduce the financial burden for the industry and facilitate the transmission of CSMs, the carriers should be required to use one of the main standards of ANSI ASC X12 or UN/Edifact. ANSI ASC X12 is a protocol for electronic data interchange (EDI) from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), whereas UN/Edifact is the EDI standard developed under the United Nations (UN). The use of such standards should reduce the implementation costs for the carriers as these standards are considered universally utilised by the maritime industry for the purposes of electronic data interchange.

               (5)

               To ensure secure transmission of data and to guarantee the adequate level of confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted, CSMs should be transmitted using the secure shell file transfer protocol (SFTP) designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This transmission method guarantees the level of required security and is considered acceptable by the industry in terms of feasibility of implementation. In order to reduce the implementation cost, the carriers should be allowed to use also other transmission methods subject to the condition that they guarantee the same level of data security compared to SFTP.

               (6)

               To reduce the financial burden relating to the transfer of CSMs, the carriers should be allowed to transfer all CSMs generated, collected or maintained in their electronic records without selecting individual CSMs. In those cases, the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States should be allowed to access and use those data in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 515/97.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Regulation (EC) No 515/97,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Frequency of reporting of CSMs
   Carriers shall transmit complete CSMs generated, collected or maintained in the carrier's electronic records to the CSM directory no later than 24 hours after the CSM is entered into the carrier's electronic records.
   Transmission of historic CSMs pursuant to Article 18a(5) of Regulation (EC) No 515/97 shall be done within 24 hours after the generation or collection of the first CSM in the carrier's electronic records establishing that the container is destined to be brought into the customs territory of the Union.
   Article 2
   Format of the data in the CSMs
   Carriers shall report CSMs in accordance with the ANSI ASC X12 or UN/Edifact standards.
   Article 3
   Method of transmission of CSMs
   1.   Carriers shall transmit CSMs using secure shell file transfer protocol (SFTP).
   Carriers shall be allowed to transmit CSMs using other methods provided that these guarantee the level of security comparable to the SFTP.
   2.   CSMs may be transmitted either by:

               (a)

               selective reporting of individual CSMs as specified in Article 18a(6) of Regulation (EC) No 515/97; or

               (b)

               transfer of all CSMs generated, collected or maintained in the carrier's electronic records without selecting individual CSMs.

         Where a carrier transmits CSMs in accordance with point (b), the carrier accepts that the Commission and the Member States have access to and use those data in accordance with the conditions set out in Regulation (EC) No 515/97.
   Article 4
   Entry into force
   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 as of 1 September 2016.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 10 March 2016.

   determining the quantities to be added to the quantity fixed for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2016 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 1384/2007 for poultrymeat originating in Israel
   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 Article 188(2) and (3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1384/2007 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products originating in Israel.

               (2)

               The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 March 2016 for the subperiod from 1 April to 30 June 2016 are less than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined, and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod.

               (3)

               In order to ensure the efficiency of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 451/2012
   of 29 May 2012
   on the withdrawal from the market of certain feed additives belonging to the functional group of silage 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 10(5) 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. Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable.

               (2)

               The feed additives set out in the Annex were entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               As regards the use of those feed additives as silage additives, no application for authorisation in accordance with Article 10(7) in conjunction with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 was submitted before the deadline provided for in Article 10(7). As regards the additive hexamethylene tetramine for certain species of animals, no application for authorisation was submitted before that deadline.

               (4)

               For transparency purpose, the additives for which no application for authorisation was submitted within the period specified in Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 were listed in a separated part of the Community Register of Feed Additives.

               (5)

               Those feed additives should therefore be withdrawn from the market as far as their use as silage additives is concerned, except for species for which applications for authorisation have been submitted. This measure does not interfere with the use of some of the abovementioned additives according to other categories or functional groups for which they may be allowed.

               (6)

               Since the withdrawal of the silage additives concerned are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period within which existing stocks of those additives as well as premixtures and silage which have been produced with those additives may be used up.

               (7)

               The withdrawal of the feed additives listed in the Annex should be considered as without prejudice to a possible future granting of an authorisation concerning them or to the adoption of a measure on their status on the grounds and under the procedures set out in Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (8)

               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
   Withdrawal
   The feed additives specified in Part A of the Annex, belonging to the functional group ‘silage additives’ within the category ‘technological additives’, shall be withdrawn from the market.
   The feed additive specified in Part B of the Annex, belonging to the functional group ‘silage additives’ within the category ‘technological additives’, shall be withdrawn from the market in respect of the species of animals mentioned in that Part of the Annex.
   Article 2
   Transitional measures
   1.   Existing stocks of the feed additives set out in Part A of the Annex may continue to be placed on the market and used as feed additives belonging to the functional group ‘silage additives’ within the category ‘technological additives’ until 19 June 2013.
   2.   Premixtures produced with the additives referred to in paragraph 1 may continue to be placed on the market and used until 19 June 2013.
   3.   Silage produced with the additives referred to in paragraph 1 or with the premixtures referred to in paragraph 2 may continue to be placed on the market and used until 19 June 2014.
   4.   As regards the feed additive set out in Part B of the Annex, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply in respect of the species of animals mentioned in that Part of the Annex.
   Article 3
   Entry into force
   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.
