         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1103
   of 8 July 2015
   concerning the authorisation of beta-carotene 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. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

               (2)

               Beta-carotene was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on all animal species and was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of beta-carotene and its preparations for all animal species. The applicant requested that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 23 May 2012 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, beta-carotene does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that beta-carotene is used for the synthesis of retinol in almost all species (cats, in particular, were not able to use beta-carotene for the synthesis of retinol) and that no safety concerns would arise for users. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (5)

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

               (6)

               Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

               (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 ‘vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’, is authorised as a feed additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   1.   The substance specified in the Annex and premixtures containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 29 January 2016 in accordance with the rules applicable before 29 July 2015 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
   2.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 29 July 2016 in accordance with the rules applicable before 29 July 2015 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for food-producing animals.
   3.   Compound feed and feed materials containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 29 July 2017 in accordance with the rules applicable before 29 July 2015 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for non-food-producing animals.
   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, 8 July 2015.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 360/2013
   of 18 April 2013
   fixing the export refunds on 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), and in particular Article 164(2) and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products referred to in Part XX of Annex I to that Regulation and prices in the Union for those products may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               In view of the current situation on the market in poultrymeat, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

               (4)

               Refunds should be granted only on products which are authorised to move freely in the Union and bear the identification mark provided for in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3).

               (5)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 33/2013 (4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (6)

               In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (7)

               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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 807/2013
   of 26 August 2013
   laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the survey of prices of certain bovine animals on representative Union markets
   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 192(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 (2) do not reflect anymore the current situation of the price recording on the Union markets concerned. It is necessary to bring the rules on price recording in line with the needs of the beef sector. Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 should therefore be repealed and replaced.

               (2)

               In order to have a complete picture of the market situation at all times, it is necessary to know the prices of certain categories of bovine animals other than those covered by price reporting under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 (3).

               (3)

               In order to improve data accuracy, provision should be made for a survey of prices for male calves aged between eight days and four weeks, for store cattle aged more than six months and less than two years and calves slaughtered at the age of less than eight months. Therefore, detailed rules on the information to be provided for the price survey for each of those bovine animal categories should be established.

               (4)

               The Member States with an important share in the production and trade of those different categories of bovine animals and the information to be provided by them for the price survey for each of those categories should be established.

               (5)

               The price recorded on the representative Union markets should be taken as the average of the prices of the bovine animals in question on the representative market or markets of each Member State. That average should be weighted in accordance with coefficients expressing the relative size of the relevant cattle population of each Member State for each category marketed in a reference period.

               (6)

               In order to obtain comparable prices of the categories of bovine animals concerned in the Union, it is necessary to provide that the price recording should refer to a well-defined marketing stage based on the quotations excluding value added tax.

               (7)

               Moreover, the Union reference presentation of carcasses of slaughtered calves should be determined. In that context, it is appropriate to provide that certain corrective factors need to be specified by Member States to adjust the presentations used to the Union reference presentation.

               (8)

               The representative market or markets for each Member State should be selected. Where there is more than one representative market in a Member State, account should be taken of the weigthed average of the prices recorded on those markets.

               (9)

               In order to ensure that prices reported are representative of national production, it is necessary to allow Member States to designate for price recording natural or legal persons who trade or send for slaughter substantial numbers of the relevant categories of bovine animals.

               (10)

               In the absence of price recording on public markets or by operators of slaughterhouses, or by designated natural or legal persons, it should be provided that prices are recorded by chambers of agriculture, quotation centres, farmers’ cooperatives or farmers’ unions and other reliable sources in the Member State concerned.

               (11)

               In case Member States have established regional committees to determine prices of certain categories of bovine animals, provision should be made that the prices determined by those committees may be taken into account in the national price calculation, provided that their membership ensures a balanced and objective approach.

               (12)

               With a view to monitoring the reporting of prices of the relevant categories of bovine animals, Member States should be obliged to communicate periodically certain information to the Commission.

               (13)

               Provision should be made for the weekly communication to the Commission of the national average prices through electronic means of transmission.

               (14)

               Member States may, because of veterinary or health protection regulations, find it necessary to take measures which affect quotations. In such circumstances, it is not always suitable when recording market prices to take into account quotations which do not reflect the normal trend of the market. Consequently, certain rules should be laid down allowing the Commission to authorise the Member State concerned to disregard the prices recorded or to use the last prices recorded.

               (15)

               It is necessary to provide that Member States have to take certain measures in order to ensure the representativeness and accuracy of the reported prices. Moreover, Member States should inform the Commission of those measures.

               (16)

               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
   1.   The average Union price, per head, of male calves aged between eight days and four weeks shall be the average of the prices recorded for dairy type male rearing calves and beef type male rearing calves on the representative markets of the Member States with an important share in the production and trade of those calves as referred to in Annex I, which shall be weighted by coefficients established on the basis of:

               (a)

               as regards dairy type male rearing calves, the number of dairy cows recorded in the Union, as transmitted in accordance with Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4);

               (b)

               as regards beef type male rearing calves, the number of cows recorded in the Union, as transmitted in accordance with Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008.

   Those prices shall be the average of the prices paid in that Member State at the same wholesale stage, exclusive of value added tax (‘VAT’), for the type concerned and weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion of the different qualities of male rearing calves defined by the Member State and the relative importance of each market.
   3.   For the purposes of this Article:

               (a)

               ‘dairy type male rearing calf’ means male rearing calf from dairy breed;

               (a)

               as regards young store cattle, the number of bovine animals aged not over one year and not for slaughter recorded in the Union, as transmitted in accordance with Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008;

               (a)

               ‘young store cattle’ means male and female bovine animals aged 6 months or more but less than 12 months, bought after weaning to be fattened;

         Article 3
   1.   The average Union price, per 100 kg of carcass weight, of calves slaughtered at the age of less than eight months shall be the average of the prices recorded for those calves on the representative markets of the Member States with an important share in the production as referred to in Annex III, which shall be weighted by coefficients established on the basis of the net production of those calves in the Union.
   2.   The price to be reported for carcasses of the calves referred to in paragraph 1 shall be recorded by the operators of any slaughterhouse which slaughters such calves or by natural or legal persons who send substantial numbers of such calves for slaughter and which are designated by the Member State.

         Where at the moment of weighing the presentation of the carcass differs from the presentation provided for in the first subparagraph, the weight of the carcass shall be adjusted by applying corrective factors specified by the Member State in order to move from that presentation to the reference presentation. In that case the price for each 100 kg of carcass weight shall be adjusted accordingly.
   4.   The carcass weight to be taken into account for the reporting of the market prices shall be the cold weight of the carcass.
   The cold weight of the carcass shall correspond to the warm weight taken not later than one hour after the animal has been stuck, less 2 %.
   Article 4
   1.   In the absence of price recording on public markets or by operators of slaughterhouses or by the natural or legal persons referred to in Articles 1(2), 2(2) and 3(2), the prices shall be recorded by chambers of agriculture, quotation centres, farmers’ cooperatives or farmers’ unions in the Member State concerned.
   However, where a Member State has established a committee to determine prices for a region, and where the membership of such committee is comprised equally of buyers and sellers of certain categories of bovine animals or carcasses of such animals, that Member State may use them for the calculation of the prices to be reported.
   2.   The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission their representative markets, the qualities to be defined and the weighting coefficients referred to in Articles 1(2), 2(2) and 3(2), as well as the corrective factors referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3(3) by 1 June 2014 at the latest and thereafter no later than 1 June each year.

         The Commission shall communicate the information referred to in the first subparagraph to all Member States.
   3.   The Member States concerned shall communicate to the Commission not later than 12 noon, Brussels time, on Wednesday each week, the national average prices for each type of bovine animals referred to in Articles 1(1), 2(1) and 3(1) recorded on their respective representative markets. They shall not communicate those prices to any other body before they have communicated them to the Commission.
   Those prices shall relate to the seven day period from Monday to Sunday preceding the week in which the information is communicated.
   The prices reported shall be expressed in euro or, where applicable, in national currency.
   For the communications referred to in this paragraph, Member States shall use electronic means of transmission made available to the Member States by the Commission.
   Article 5
   The Commission shall revise periodically the weighting coefficients referred to in Articles 1(1), 2(1) and 3(1) to take into account trends recorded at national and Union levels.
   After each revision the Commission shall communicate the revised weighting coefficients to the Member States.
   Article 6
   Where a Member State takes measures for veterinary or health protection reasons which affect the normal movement in prices recorded on its representative market or markets, the Commission may authorise it either to disregard the prices recorded on the market or markets concerned, or to use the last prices recorded on the market or markets concerned before those measures were put into effect.
   Article 7
   Member States shall provide for the necessary measures to ensure the representativeness and accuracy of the prices communicated in accordance with Article 4 and shall inform the Commission of those measures by 30 June 2014 at the latest and thereafter within one month after any amendments relating to those measures.

   of 20 June 2014
   concerning the authorisation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens (holder of the authorisation DSM Nutritional products Ltd)
   (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 a canthaxanthin. 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 preparation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of canthaxanthin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to stabilise the reproductive performance of breeder hens. 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 the preparation of canthaxanthin 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.

               (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
   Authorisation
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, 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.

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 17 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2) sets out the active substances deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (2)

               The approvals of the active substances 2,4-D, acibenzolar-s-methyl, amitrole, bentazone, cyhalofop butyl, diquat, esfenvalerate, famoxadone, flumioxazine, DPX KE 459 (flupyrsulfuron-methyl), glyphosate, iprovalicarb, isoproturon, lambda-cyhalothrin, metalaxyl-M, metsulfuron methyl, picolinafen, prosulfuron, pymetrozine, pyraflufen-ethyl, thiabendazole, thifensulfuron-methyl and triasulfuron will expire on 31 December 2015. Applications for the renewal of the inclusion of those substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) were submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 (4).

               (3)

               Due to the fact that the assessment of the substances has been delayed for reasons beyond the control of the applicants, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision has been taken on their renewal. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods.

               (4)

               In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where the Commission will adopt a Regulation providing that the approval of an active substance referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is not renewed because the approval criteria are not satisfied, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before this Regulation or at the date of the entry into force of the Regulation providing that the approval of the active substance is not renewed, whichever date is later.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               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) No 494/2014
   of 13 May 2014
   amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 as regards import conditions and the list of countries referred to in Article 9 thereof
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 97/78/EC lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Union from third countries.

               (2)

               Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which are to be subjected to border veterinary checks and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union.

               (3)

               Accordingly, Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (2) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks, while Part I of Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw.

               (4)

               Ukraine has recently requested the authorisation to export pelleted straw to the Union and has asked to be included in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004.

               (5)

               Belarus is already listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 and is authorised to export hay and straw of any kind to the Union. However, some Member States have outlined concerns in relation to the changed animal health situation in Belarus, referring to outbreaks of African swine fever. They fear that the export of unprocessed hay and straw from that third country may pose a high animal health risk to the Union. It has thus been requested to adopt precautionary measures through the adoption of more restrictive import conditions for hay and straw from Belarus.

               (6)

               Analysis shows that the animal health situation in Belarus and Ukraine does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases into the Union, if only pelleted straw intended for combustion is allowed for import, provided it is directly delivered from the approved border inspection post (BIP) of entry into the Union to the destination plant where it is going to be burned. To ensure that such consignments do not present a risk to animal health being deviated from their intended destination, they need to be moved under customs transit procedure, as provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (3), and be monitored in the integrated computerised veterinary system (TRACES) accordingly from the BIP of entry to the destination plant.

               (7)

               Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 is replaced by 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.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 300/2014
   of 24 March 2014
   withdrawing the suspension of submission of applications for import licences for sugar products under certain tariff quotas
   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),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The submission of applications for import licences concerning order number 09.4321 was suspended as from 27 September 2013 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2013 of 26 September 2013 fixing the allocation coefficient for the issuing of import licences applied for from 8 to 14 September 2013 for sugar products under certain tariff quotas and suspending submission of applications for such licences (3), in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 891/2009.

               (2)

               Following notifications on unused and/or partly used licences, quantities became available again for this order number. The suspension of applications should therefore be withdrawn,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1028/2014
   of 26 September 2014
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 laying down requirements for the performance and the interoperability of surveillance for the single European sky
   (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 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management network (the interoperability Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 (2) lays down requirements on the systems contributing to the provision of surveillance data in order to ensure the harmonisation of performance, the interoperability and the efficiency of those systems within the European air traffic management network and for the purpose of civil-military coordination.

               (2)

               In order to be able to equip new aircraft with new capabilities operators must have the necessary equipment specifications at least 24 months before the foreseen application date. The relevant Certification Specifications were however adopted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) only in December 2013. As a consequence, it will not be possible for operators to equip new aircraft with the new functionalities ADS-B ‘Out’ and Mode S Enhanced by 8 January 2015. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should therefore be amended, so as to provide the operators concerned with sufficient additional time for this purpose.

               (3)

               Delays in certification and in availability of required equipment, as well as industrial capacity constraints for equipping aircraft, affect the smooth retrofitting of existing fleet. A number of aircraft, mainly for trans-Atlantic operations, are also to be equipped with ADS-B ‘Out’ functionality by 1 January 2020 as mandated by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The retrofit date for ADS-B ‘Out’ and Mode S Enhanced should therefore be postponed and brought more closely into line with the deadline for the FAA ADS-B requirements.

               (4)

               State aircraft operators should benefit from similar postponements in implementation dates as other operators of aircraft. The deadline for retrofitting for state aircraft with the new ADS-B ‘Out’ and Mode S Enhanced functionalities should therefore also be postponed.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee, established by Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
