         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2093
   of 18 November 2015
   amending Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 establishing an instrument for pre-accession assistance (IPA)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 (the IPA Regulation) lays down the objectives of and the main principles regarding pre-accession assistance to candidate and potential candidate countries. The detailed rules for implementing the pre-accession assistance are set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 (2).

               (2)

               Although the IPA Regulation only applied until 31 December 2013, the IPA Regulation continues to regulate the implementation of budgetary commitments made up to 31 December 2013. Furthermore, Article 212 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides that Article 166(3) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (4) continues to apply to those budgetary commitments which remain available until 31 December 2018.

               (3)

               Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 introduced the possibility for the Commission to create and manage Union trust funds for external action. Such Union trust funds could be an appropriate way to implement pre-accession assistance in order to achieve the objectives of the IPA Regulation, in particular those pursued under its transition assistance and institution building, regional development and human resources development components.

               (4)

               The use of a Union trust fund for external action could therefore be an appropriate way to implement assistance in the context of the crisis in Syria. Since the start of the crisis in Syria, Turkey has undertaken remarkable efforts in hosting a growing number of refugees, reaching more than 2 million people in October 2015. As a consequence, the country is facing the challenge of responding to short-term humanitarian needs of refugees, including minors and vulnerable persons, but is also facing more medium- and long-term challenges, in particular, in the regions hosting most of the refugees, relating to social services, competitiveness and infrastructures as well as access to education, including for refugees.

               (5)

               The efficiency of the Union assistance provided under the regional development component and the human resources development component of IPA in Turkey could be increased in terms of addressing the challenges described above if the assistance were to be implemented by the Regional Trust Fund established in response to the Syrian crisis. The Regional Trust Fund was established by Decision C(2014) 9615 (5) for a duration of 60 months. All financial contributions of the Union to the Regional Trust Fund should comply with the relevant financial instruments contributing to it, including as regards geographical scope.

               (6)

               The regional development component of IPA may contribute toward the financing of the type of actions provided for under Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council (6). This type of actions includes promoting: innovation and entrepreneurship; investments connected with water supply and water and waste management; waste-water treatment and air quality; education investments, including in vocational training; and investments in health and social infrastructure which contribute to regional and local development.

               (7)

               The human resource development component of IPA may contribute toward the financing of the type of actions provided for under Regulation (EC) No 1081/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council (7). This type of actions includes measures aiming at increased participation in education and training throughout the life-cycle, including through actions aiming to achieve a reduction in early school leaving and increased access to initial, vocational and tertiary education and training.

               (8)

               Considering all the above, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility of using Union trust funds, established under Article 187 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, for implementing pre-accession assistance.

               (9)

               In particular, it is necessary to provide for the rules relating to planning, programming, reporting, monitoring and drawing up payment applications, as well as managing the contribution from the Union trust fund when pursuing pre-accession assistance objectives within the respective programme areas, particularly regarding budgetary implementation, publicity and eligibility.

               (10)

               In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (11)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the IPA II Committee set up by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 231/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8).

               (12)

               Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EC) No 718/2007 is amended as follows:

               (1)

   laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the indication of the country of origin or place of provenance for fresh, chilled and frozen meat of swine, sheep, goats and poultry
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on the provision of food information to consumers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1924/2006 and (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Commission Directive 87/250/EEC, Council Directive 90/496/EEC, Commission Directive 1999/10/EC, Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Directives 2002/67/EC and 2008/5/EC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 (1), and in particular Article 26(8) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 26(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 sets out the obligation to indicate the country of origin or place of provenance on the label of meat falling within the Combined Nomenclature codes listed in Annex XI to that Regulation, i.e. fresh, chilled and frozen meat of swine, sheep or goats and poultry.

               (2)

               A balance needs to be struck between the need of the consumers to be informed and the additional cost for operators and national authorities, which finally has an impact on the final price of the product. The impact assessment and a study commissioned by the Commission examined several options for indicating the country of origin or place of provenance with respect to the most relevant stages of the life of the animals. The results show that consumers require foremost the information on the place where the animal was reared. At the same time, providing mandatory information on the place of birth of the animal would require the establishment of new traceability systems at farm level with the respective costs stemming therefrom, while labelling the place of slaughter can be done at an affordable cost and gives valuable information to the consumer. As regards the geographical level there is evidence that indication of the Member State or third country would be the most relevant information for consumers.

               (3)

               Within Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 the concept of ‘country of origin’ of a food is determined in accordance with Articles 23 to 26 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). For animal products that concept refers to the country in which the product is wholly obtained which applied to meat means the country in which the animal was born, reared and slaughtered. When several countries have been involved in the production of a food, that concept refers to the country where the products have undergone their last substantial and economically justified processing or working. However, applying it to situations in which the meat comes from animals which were born, reared and slaughtered in different countries would not sufficiently inform the consumers about the origin of that meat. Therefore, in all those situations it is necessary to provide for an indication, on the label, of the Member State or third country where the animal has been reared for a period representing a substantial part of the normal cycle of rearing for each species, as well as of the Member State or third country where it has been slaughtered. The term ‘origin’ should be reserved for meat obtained from animals born, reared and slaughtered, and therefore wholly obtained, in one single Member State or third country.

               (4)

               For the cases in which the animal has been reared in several Member States or third countries and the rearing period cannot be met, an appropriate indication of the place of rearing should be provided for so that the consumer needs are better met and unnecessary complexity of the label is avoided.

               (5)

               In addition, rules should be laid down for packages containing pieces of meat of the same or different species obtained from animals reared and slaughtered in different Member States or third countries.

               (6)

               This labelling system requires traceability rules at all stages of production and distribution of the meat, from slaugthering until packaging to ensure the link between the labelled meat and the animal or group of animals from which that meat has been obtained.

               (7)

               Specific rules should be provided for meat imported from third countries where the information required for labelling is not available.

               (8)

               As regards minced meat and trimmings, given the characteristics of their production processes, operators should be allowed to make use of a simplified system of indications.

               (9)

               In view of the commercial interest of the information to be provided under this Regulation, food business operators should be given the possibility to add to the mandatory indications on the label other elements referring to the provenance of the meat.

               (10)

               As the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 are applicable from 13 December 2014, and Article 47 thereof provides for application of the implementing rules under that Regulation as from 1 April in each calendar year, this Regulation should start to apply on 1 April 2015.

               (11)

               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:

         COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 907/2011
   of 6 September 2011
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of high tenacity yarn of polyesters originating in the People’s Republic of China, and terminating the proceeding concerning imports of high tenacity yarn of polyesters originating in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010 of 29 November 2010 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of high tenacity yarn of polyesters originating in the People’s Republic of China and terminating the proceeding concerning imports of high tenacity yarn of polyesters originating in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (the Commission) after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   A.   MEASURES IN FORCE

               (1)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010, the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of high tenacity yarn of polyesters (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including monofilament of less than 67 decitex, originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), currently falling within CN code 5402 20 00 (the product concerned).

               (2)

               Given the large number of cooperating exporting producers in the investigation that led to the imposition of the anti-dumping duty (the original investigation) in the PRC, a sample of Chinese exporting producers was selected and individual duty rates ranging from 0 % to 5,5 % were imposed on the companies included in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample were attributed a duty rate of 5,3 %. Two cooperating non-sampled companies were granted individual examination within the meaning of Article 17(3) of the basic Regulation, they received duties of 0 % and 9,8 %. A duty rate of 9,8 % for the PRC was imposed on all other companies.

               (3)

               Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010 gives the possibility to new Chinese exporting producers which meet the criteria set out in that Article to be granted the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, i.e. 5,3 %.

         B.   NEW EXPORTING PRODUCERS’ REQUESTS

               (4)

               Two companies (the applicants) have requested to be granted ‘new exporting producer treatment’ (NEPT).

               (5)

               An examination has been carried out to determine whether each of the applicants fulfils the criteria for being granted NEPT as set out in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010, by verifying that the applicant:

                           —

                           is a producer of the product concerned in the PRC,

                           —

                           did not export the product concerned to the Union during the investigation period on which the measures are based (1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009),

                           —

                           is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the PRC which are subject to the measures imposed by that Regulation,

                           —

                           has actually exported to the Union the product concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union.

               (6)

               Questionnaires were sent to the applicants who were asked to supply evidence to demonstrate that they met the criteria mentioned above.

               (7)

               The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of determining whether the criteria set out in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010 had been fulfilled. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the two applicants:

                           —

                           Jiangsu Hengli Chemical Fibre Co. Ltd,

                           —

                           Amann Twisting Yancheng Co. Ltd.

         C.   FINDINGS

               (8)

               Concerning one applicant, Jiangsu Hengli Chemical Fibre Co. Ltd, the examination of the information submitted showed that it had provided sufficient evidence to prove that it meets the criteria set out in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010. Therefore, this applicant could be granted the weighted average duty rate for the cooperating companies not included in the sample (i.e. 5,3 %) in accordance with Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010, and should be added to the list of exporting producers of Article 1(2) of that Regulation.

               (9)

               Concerning the other applicant, Amann Twisting Yancheng Co. Ltd, the examination of the information submitted showed that it had not provided sufficient evidence to prove that it meets the criteria set out in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010. In particular, the investigation revealed that the main raw material used in the manufacturing process, high tenacity yarn of polyesters, is not produced by the applicant but purchased from unrelated suppliers. The filament is processed by the applicant through different production steps, including twisting, and finally exported under the definition of the product concerned. As the applicant did not produce the product concerned but actually merely processed it, it was concluded that Amann Twisting Yancheng Co. Ltd cannot be considered to be a producer of the product concerned. It therefore does not fulfil the requirement for NEPT that the company requesting it must be a ‘producer’ of the product concerned.

               (10)

               Its request for NEPT was therefore rejected.

         D.   MODIFICATION OF THE LIST OF COMPANIES BENEFITING FROM INDIVIDUAL DUTY RATES

               (11)

               In consideration of the findings of the investigation as indicated in recital 8, it is concluded that the company Jiangsu Hengli Chemical Fibre Co. Ltd should be added to the list of individual companies mentioned under Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1105/2010 with a duty rate of 5,3 %.

               (12)

               The applicants and the Union industry have been informed of the findings of the investigation and were given the opportunity to submit their comments.

               (13)

               All arguments and submissions made by interested parties were analysed and duly taken into account where warranted,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1380
   of 16 August 2016
   on a derogation from Article 55(2)(a) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 as regards the rules of origin applicable to regional cumulation for tuna originating in Ecuador
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 64(6) and 66(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Regulation (EU) No 1384/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the Union granted tariff preferences to Ecuador from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016, as an interim reciprocal arrangement to avoid unnecessary trade disruption between the Union and Ecuador following the initialling of the Protocol of Accession of Ecuador to the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part (3), on 12 December 2014.

               (2)

               For the purpose of the preferences granted by Regulation (EU) No 1384/2014, the rules of origin laid down in Part I, Title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (4) including the rules concerning regional cumulation of origin within a group of countries including Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Venezuela shall apply. Since 1 January 2014, regional cumulation could only apply in the same regional group to countries which, at the time of exportation to the Union, are beneficiaries of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) under Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (3)

               With effect on 1 May 2016, Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 was repealed and the rules of origin applicable for the purpose of the tariff preferences granted to goods originating in Ecuador are since that date laid down in Title II, Chapter 2, Section 2, Subsections 2 and 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 (6) and Title II, Chapter 2, Section 2, Subsections 2 to 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (7), Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 provides for the same rules concerning cumulation as Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

               (4)

               As of 1 January 2016, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, included in the same regional group as Ecuador, are no longer GSP beneficiary countries. As a consequence, from 1 January 2016, prepared or preserved tuna and skipjack classified in subheading 1604 14 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) and prepared or preserved tuna, skipjack or other fish of the genus Euthynnus of subheading 1604 20 70 of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) cannot be considered to be originating in Ecuador under regional cumulation with those countries for the purposes of the tariff preferences granted by Regulation (EU) No 1384/2014.

               (5)

               On 4 April 2016, Ecuador submitted a request for a derogation from the rules on preferential origin so that the Ecuadorian fish processing industry might, for the purposes of determining the origin of prepared or preserved tuna and skipjack classified in HS subheading 1604 14 and prepared or preserved tuna, skipjack or other fish of the genus Euthynnus of CN subheading 1604 20 70, consider materials originating in Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama to be materials originating in Ecuador by virtue of regional cumulation. The derogation was requested to apply from 1 January 2016. A complement of information on this initial request was submitted on 30 June 2016.

               (6)

               In its request for derogation Ecuador explained that for the production of prepared and preserved tuna exported by Ecuador to the Union important quantities of raw tuna are sourced in the countries of Central America and in the Andean countries. Without the possibility to cumulate with those countries in the same regional group, Ecuadorian exports to the Union of originating prepared and preserved tuna would be reduced by 30 %.

               (7)

               In the meantime, on 16 April 2016, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7,8 struck costal Ecuador. The Manabí province and the areas of Manta, where most of the Ecuadorian fishery sector operates, were highly affected. Massive material damage has also been reported, including on key infrastructures, which aggravates the situation of the fish processing industry in Ecuador.

               (8)

               Considering the circumstances, the reasons provided in Ecuador's request and the further adverse impact of the earthquake on its fish processing industry, Ecuador should benefit from a temporary derogation from the requirement laid down in Article 55(2)(a) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, in accordance with point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 64(6) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. Consequently, the materials originating in Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama used for the manufacture of prepared and preserved tuna and skipjack classified in HS subheading 1604 14 and in prepared or preserved tuna skipjack or other fish of the genus Euthynnus of CN subheading 1604 20 70 should be considered to be originating in Ecuador, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.

               (9)

               To avoid trade disruption, and to facilitate the achievement of the objectives of the tariff preferences granted to Ecuador under Regulation (EU) No 1384/2014, the temporary derogation should cover the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.

               (10)

               Considering the proof of origin that may be used for the materials originating in Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, cumulation may also apply on the basis of the proof of origin provided for by the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part, or the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America, on the other (8), respectively.

               (11)

               In order to guarantee that the measures necessary for the application of cumulation with Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama operate properly, Ecuador should ensure that the measures in the field of administrative cooperation are in place.

               (12)

               In order to allow for efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Ecuador should communicate to the Commission at the end of the application of the derogation details of the certificates of origin Form A which have been issued within the framework of the derogation.

               (13)

               In order to avoid further delay in the implementation of the derogation, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.

               (14)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   4.   Ecuador shall ensure that the measures necessary for the application of cumulation with Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua or Panama in the field of administrative cooperation are in place.
   5.   It shall be considered that the reference to ‘special circumstances’ of Article 74(2)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 is applicable to the products referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 for which a certificate of origin Form A was not issued at the time of exportation.
   Article 2
   By 31 January 2017, the competent authorities of Ecuador shall transmit to the Commission a statement of the quantities and values in respect of which certificates of origin Form A have been issued for the purposes of the derogation referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 1 and the serial numbers of those certificates.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.
