         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 220/2012
   of 14 March 2012
   derogating from Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 as regards the deadlines for communicating sugar quantities carried forward from the marketing year 2011/2012
   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 Articles 85, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards sugar production in excess of the quota (2), lays down deadlines within which Member States have to communicate to the Commission the quantities of sugar carried forward to the next marketing year.

               (2)

               By way of derogation from Article 63(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 214/2012 (3) extended, for the marketing year 2011/2012, the time limits within which Member States determine the deadline within which operators have to communicate to Member States their decision to carry forward surplus sugar production.

               (3)

               Consequently, deadlines within which Member States have to communicate to the Commission the quantities to be carried forward, pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006, should be shifted accordingly.

               (4)

               It is therefore necessary to derogate, for the marketing year 2011/2012, from the deadlines fixed in points (a) and (b) of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006.

               (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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from points (a) and (b) of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006, Member States shall communicate to the Commission not later than 1 September 2012, the quantities of beet and cane sugar from the 2011/2012 marketing year that are to be carried forward to the next marketing year.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall expire on 30 September 2012.

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

   prohibiting fishing activities for purse seiners flying the flag of or registered in France, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain fishing for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and in the Mediterranean Sea
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules on the common fisheries policy, (1) and in particular Article 36, paragraph 2 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Council Regulation (EU) No 40/2013 of 21 January 2013 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreements (2) fixes the amount of bluefin tuna which may be fished in 2013 in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and the Mediterranean Sea by European Union fishing vessels and traps.

               (2)

               Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 of 6 April 2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, amending Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1559/2007, (3) requires Member States to inform the Commission of the individual quota allocated to their vessels over 24 metres. For catching vessels less than 24 metres and for traps, Member States need to inform the Commission at least of the quota allocated to producer organisations or groups of vessels fishing with similar gear.

               (3)

               The Common Fisheries Policy is designed to ensure the long-term viability of the fisheries sector through sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources based on the precautionary approach.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 36, paragraph 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, where the Commission finds that, on the basis of information provided by Member States and of other information in its possession, fishing opportunities available to the European Union, a Member State or group of Member States are deemed to have been exhausted for one or more gears or fleets, the Commission shall inform the Member State(s) concerned thereof and shall prohibit fishing activities for the respective area, gear, stock, group of stocks or fleet involved in those specific fishing activities.

               (5)

               The information in the Commission's possession indicates that the fishing opportunities for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45° W, and the Mediterranean Sea allocated to purse seiners flying the flag of or registered in France, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain have been exhausted.

               (6)

               On the 3, 5, 8 and 17 June, France informed the Commission of the fact that it had imposed a stop on the fishing activities of its 17 purse seine vessels active in the 2013 bluefin tuna fishery with effect from 3 June for 10 vessels, with effect from 5 June for four vessels, with effect from 8 June for two vessels, and with effect from 17 June for the remaining vessel resulting in the prohibition of all the activities as of 17 June 2013 at 17:22.

               (7)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1800
   of 11 October 2016
   laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the allocation of credit assessments of external credit assessment institutions to an objective scale of credit quality steps in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2009/138/EC of 25 November 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II) (1), and in particular Article 109a(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 111(1)(n) of Directive 2009/138/EC, the allocation of credit assessments of external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) to an objective scale of credit quality steps for the purposes of the calculation of the solvency capital requirement (the ‘allocation’) needs to be consistent with the use of external credit assessments of ECAIs in the calculation of the capital requirements for credit institutions and financial institutions, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1799 (3) establishes the mapping methodology for the use of external credit assessments of ECAIs in the calculation of the capital requirements for credit institutions and financial institutions, in particular the rules on how the relevant credit assessments are made correspondent to the six credit quality steps laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

               (3)

               For the purposes of the calculation of the solvency capital requirement, Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 (4) provides that the allocation is subject to a system of seven credit quality steps in contrast to the six credit quality steps laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and used in the mapping methodology for credit institutions and financial institutions.

               (4)

               In order to achieve the consistency required under Article 111(1)(n) of Directive 2009/138/EC, the allocation is based on the mapping methodology for credit institutions and financial institutions subject to alterations, where appropriate, taking into account the extra step laid down in the credit quality system of relevance for the calculation of the solvency capital requirement.

               (5)

               This Regulation establishes an allocation arrangement, taking into account quantitative and qualitative factors. It is necessary to avoid causing undue material disadvantage on those ECAIs which, due to their more recent entrance in the market, present limited quantitative information, with the view to balancing prudential with market concerns. Therefore, where there is limited quantitative information, the relevance of the quantitative factors for deriving the mapping should be relaxed. Updates to the mapping should be made whenever this becomes necessary to reflect quantitative information collected after the entry into force of the present Regulation.

               (6)

               The allocation arrangements apply to credit assessments of ECAIs, which are credit rating agencies that are registered or certified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) or central banks issuing credit ratings which are exempt from the application of that Regulation, as well as to credit assessments endorsed by an ECAI in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.

               (7)

               This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European supervisory authorities (ESAs) (the European Banking Authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority) to the Commission.

               (8)

               On 29 March 2016, the Commission notified the Joint Committee of the ESAs of its intention to endorse the draft implementing technical standards with amendments in order to ensure a balance between a solid prudential approach and the need to avoid further concentration in an already very concentrated credit rating market dominated by three large ECAIs with a combined market share of around 90 %. In its notification, the Commission highlighted in particular the need to avoid the automatic application after three years of a more conservative mapping to all ECAIs which did not produce sufficient ratings and irrespective of the quality of their ratings, as this approach would risk creating a regulatory barrier to market entry and undermine the competitive position of smaller/newer ECAIs simply because they do not produce as many ratings as large incumbent firms. In its formal opinion of 12 May 2016, the Joint Committee of the ESAs confirmed its initial position and did not resubmit implementing technical standards amended in a way consistent with the Commission's proposed amendments.

               (9)

               In order to ensure a balance between a solid prudential approach and competition in the credit rating market, the draft implementing technical standards should be amended in respect of provisions that may cause undue material disadvantage to smaller/newer ECAIs due to their more recent entrance in the market, in particular the provisions concerning application of a more conservative treatment in case of limited data, the entry into force of a new mapping automatically as of 2019, the provision concerning the review of the mapping and the mapping tables applicable as of 2019.

               (10)

               The European Supervisory Authorities have conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), and of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The allocation of credit assessments of external credit assessment institutions to an objective scale of credit quality steps shall be that set out in the 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 852/2014
   of 5 August 2014
   concerning the authorisation of L-methionine as a feed additive for all animal species
   (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 the authorisation of L-methionine as a feed additive. 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 L-methionine produced by Escherichia coli (KCCM 11252P and KCCM 11340P) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 8 October 2013 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-methionine produced by Escherichia coli (KCCM 11252P and KCCM 11340P) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it may be considered efficacious source of the amino acid L-methionine for all animal species. 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.

               (5)

               The assessment of that substance shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (6)

               The Authority expressed in its opinion concerns over the safety of L-methionine for the target species when administered via water for drinking. However, no maximum content for L-methionine is proposed by the Authority. Thus, it is in the case of administration of L-methionine via drinking water appropriate to instruct the user to consider all different methionine sources in order to achieve an optimal supply with the essential amino acids without affecting the performance of the animals.

               (7)

               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
   The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, 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.

   derogating, for 2012, from Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a quality other than high quality from third countries
   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 144 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Under Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 of 30 October 2008 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a quality other than high quality from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2), subquota III for other third countries is divided into four quarterly subperiods, including subperiod 1 extending from 1 January to 31 March and covering a quantity of 594 597 tonnes and subperiod 2 extending from 1 April to 30 June and covering a quantity of 594 597 tonnes.

               (2)

               In view of the situation of the market, in order to promote a fluid supply of the EU market in cereals under subquota III for 2012, subperiod 1 and subperiod 2 should be merged into a single subperiod, covering the cumulative quantity for subperiods 1 and 2, namely 1 189 194 tonnes.

               (3)

               A derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for 2012.

               (4)

               In order to ensure effective management of the procedure for issuing import certificates from 1 January 2012, this Regulation must enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (5)

               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
   By way of derogation from Article 3(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008, for 2012, subperiod 1 shall extend from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012, covering a quantity of 1 189 194 tonnes.
   By way of derogation from Article 3(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008, subperiod 2 shall be eliminated for 2012.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply until 30 June 2012.

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