         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/772
   of 3 May 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 as regards the list of measures for which certain information on beneficiaries is to be published
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 114 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 111(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, Member States have to publish information on the beneficiaries of the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, including, inter alia, the amount of the payment received for each measure financed by those Funds and the nature and the description of each measure.

               (2)

               Article 57 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 (2) provides for further details that have to be published in relation to those measures and refers to Annex XIII to that Regulation, which contains a list of the measures concerned.

               (3)

               As a result of the Russian ban on the import of agricultural products and foodstuffs originating in the Union and a lower growth of the global demand for milk and milk products, notably as a result of the slowdown in export to China, the Commission has adopted measures necessary to address the market situation under Article 219(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) in the livestock sectors. Those measures are laid down in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2015/1853 (4), (EU) 2016/1612 (5) and (EU) 2016/1613 (6). Those measures have been granted as measures supporting agricultural markets in accordance with Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 and apply to financial year 2016 or 2017, but they are not covered by the list in Annex XIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014. Therefore, it is appropriate to include them in that list.

               (4)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Annex XIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014, the following point 10 is added:

                  ‘10.

                  The measures granted in the livestock sectors under Article 219(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as measures supporting agricultural markets in accordance with Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013.’.

   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 480/2012
   of 7 June 2012
   opening and providing for the management of a tariff quota for broken rice of CN code 1006 40 00 for production of food preparations of CN code 1901 10 00
   (codification)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 2058/96 of 28 October 1996 opening and providing for the management of a tariff quota for broken rice of CN code 1006 40 00 for production of food preparations of CN code 1901 10 (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

               (2)

               Among the concessions granted is an annual quota of 1 000 tonnes at zero duty of broken rice of CN code 1006 40 00 for production of food preparations of CN code 1901 10 00.

               (3)

               It should be stated that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (4) applies to imports under this Regulation.

               (4)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (5) lays down in particular detailed rules for applications for import licences, the status of applicants and the issue of licences. It limits the period of validity of import licences to the final day of the tariff quota period and applies without prejudice to additional conditions or derogations laid down by the sectoral regulations.

               (5)

               In the interests of improved administration of the tariff quota opened under this Regulation, it is necessary to continue to allow operators to submit more than one licence application per quota period, and therefore to derogate from Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006. Moreover, in order to improve controls on this quota and to harmonise and simplify its administration, provision should be made for import licence applications to be submitted on a weekly basis.

               (6)

               To ensure that the quota is properly managed specific rules on submission of applications and issuing of licences are required. Those rules either supplement or derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6).

               (7)

               Specific provisions are required to ensure that the broken rice imported is not deflected from the prescribed use. Duty exemption should therefore be made conditional on submission of an undertaking by the importer as to the use of the rice and lodging of a security equal to the uncharged duty. Proper management of the quota requires that a reasonable time be allowed for processing. Consignment of the goods requires a T5 control copy to be made out in the Member State of entry for free circulation in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (7), as the appropriate means of giving proof of processing. When processing takes place in the Member State of entry for free circulation proof of processing may be furnished by means of an equivalent national document.

               (8)

               Although the purpose of the security is to ensure payment of a newly arising import debt, there should be some flexibility regarding the release of the security.

               (9)

               Security against import licences of EUR 25 per tonne should suffice for proper management of the quota.

               (10)

               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
   An annual zero duty tariff quota of 1 000 tonnes of broken rice of CN code 1006 40 00 for use in the production of food preparations of CN code 1901 10 00 is opened in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.
   The order number of the quota shall be 09.4079.
   Regulations (EC) No 1342/2003, (EC) No 1301/2006 and (EC) No 376/2008 shall apply to the quota referred to in the first paragraph, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
   Article 2
   1.   Applications for import licences shall relate to a quantity of at least 5 tonnes and at most 500 tonnes.
   Each licence application shall indicate a quantity in kilograms (whole numbers).
   Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States no later than 13.00 (Brussels time) every Friday.
   2.   By way of derogation from Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, applicants may submit more than one licence application per quota period. However, applicants may submit only one licence application per week.
   3.   Box 7 of the licence application and the import licence shall indicate the exporting country and the word ‘yes’ shall be marked with a cross.
   4.   Licence applications and licences shall contain:

               (a)

               in box 20, one of the entries listed in Annex I;

               (b)

               in box 24, one of the entries listed in Annex II.

         5.   By way of derogation from Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003, the security against import licences provided for in this Regulation shall be EUR 25 per tonne.
   Article 3
   1.   Where the quantities applied for in a given week exceed the quantity available under the quota, the Commission shall fix the allocation coefficient for the quantities applied for during that week, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, no later than the fourth working day following the last day for the submission of applications for that week, as referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 2(1) of this Regulation, and shall suspend the submission of new licence applications until the end of the quota period.
   Applications submitted in respect of the current week shall be considered inadmissible.
   Member States shall allow operators to withdraw, within two working days following the date of publication of the Implementing Regulation fixing the allocation coefficient, applications for which the quantity for which the licence is to be issued is less than 20 tonnes.
   2.   The import licence shall be issued on the eighth working day following the final day for the submission of applications.
   Article 4
   The Member States shall send the Commission, by electronic means:

               (a)

               on the Monday following the final day for the submission of licence applications, no later than 18.00 (Brussels time), the information on the import licence applications as referred to in Article 11(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, with the total quantities covered by those applications;

               (b)

               no later than the second working day following the issue of the import licences, the information on the licences issued as referred to in Article 11(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, with the total quantities for which import licences have been issued and the quantities for which licence applications have been withdrawn in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 3(1) of this Regulation;

               (c)

               no later than the last day of each month, the total quantities actually released for free circulation under the quota concerned during the previous month but one. If no quantities have been released for free circulation during one of these months, a ‘nil’ notification shall be sent. However, this notification shall no longer be required in the third month following the final day of validity of the licences.

         Article 5
   1.   Exemption from customs duty shall be subject to:

               (a)

               submission on entry for free circulation of a written undertaking by the importer that all the goods entered will be processed as indicated in box 20 of the licence within six months of the date of acceptance of the entry for free circulation;

               (b)

               lodging by the importer, on entry for free circulation, of security for an amount equal to the customs duty for broken rice fixed in Article 140 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (8).

         2.   On entry for free circulation the importer shall indicate as the place of processing either the name of a processing undertaking and a Member State or not more than five different processing plants. Consignment of the rice shall require a T5 control copy to be made out in the Member State of departure which, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, shall also constitute proof of processing.
   However, where processing takes place in the Member State of entry into free circulation, proof of processing may be an equivalent national document.
   3.   The T5 control copy shall carry:

               (a)

               in box 104, one of the entries listed in Annex III;

               (b)

               in box 107, one of the entries listed in Annex IV.

         4.   Except in cases of force majeure the security referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall be released when the importer gives proof to the competent authority of the Member State of entry into free circulation that all the rice entered has been processed into the product indicated in the import licence. Processing is deemed to have taken place when the product has been manufactured either in one or more of the processing plants belonging to the undertaking referred to in paragraph 2 situated in the Member State referred to therein, or in the processing plant or one of the processing plants referred to in that paragraph, within the time limit indicated in paragraph 1(a).
   Where rice entered for free circulation has not been processed within the specified time limit the security released shall be reduced by 2 % for each day by which the time limit is exceeded.
   5.   Proof of processing shall be given to the competent authority within six months following the time limit for processing.
   If proof is not given within the time limit laid down in this paragraph, the security referred to in paragraph 1(b), where applicable minus the percentage provided for in the second subparagraph of paragraph 4, shall be reduced by 2 % for each day by which the time limit is exceeded.
   The amount of the security which is not released shall be forfeit as customs duties.
   Article 6
   By way of derogation from Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, the quantity entered for free circulation may not exceed that entered in boxes 17 and 18 of the import licence. The figure ‘0’ shall accordingly be entered in box 19 of the licence.
   Article 7
   Regulation (EC) No 2058/96 is repealed.
   References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex VI.

   of 17 May 2011
   amending Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 as regards catch limits for the fisheries on sandeel in EU waters of ICES zones IIa, IIIa and IV
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 of 18 January 2011 fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters (1), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Catch limits for sandeel in EU waters of ICES zones IIa, IIIa and IV are laid down in Annex IA of Regulation (EU) 57/2011.

               (2)

               Pursuant to point 4 of Annex IID to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011, the Commission is to revise the total allowable catches (TAC) and quotas for 2011 for sandeel in those zones based on advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF).

               (3)

               ICES delivered its advice on 21 February 2011 for each of the seven management areas defined in Annex IID of Regulation 57/2011. The ICES advice was reviewed by the STECF, which delivered its conclusions to the Commission on 24 February 2011. In accordance with that advice, the catch limit for management area 1 should be increased to 320 000 tonnes and the catch limit for management area 2 decreased to 34 000 tonnes. The STECF also considered it appropriate to establish catch limits of 10 000 tonnes and 420 tonnes respectively in management areas 4 and 6

               (4)

               The STECF considered that the catch limits for management areas 3 and 7 should be zero. However in supplementary advice delivered on 17 March 2011, the STECF considered that a catch limit of 10 000 tonnes could be allowed in management area 3 in order to conduct a monitoring fishery in that area.

               (5)

               Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1492
      of 21 August 2017
      concerning the authorisation of cholecalciferol 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)

                  Cholecalciferol was authorised without a time limit by Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for all animal species. That additive 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, three applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of cholecalciferol as a feed additive for all animal species and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for the use in water for drinking. The applicants requested that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. Those applications were 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 opinions of 13 November 2012 (3), 20 June 2013 (4), 30 January 2014 (5) and 25 January 2017 (6) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, cholecalciferol does not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that cholecalciferol is an effective source of vitamin D3.

                  (5)

                  The Authority concluded in its opinions that for some formulations of vitamin D3 there is a potential for workers to be exposed to high levels of vitamin D3 by inhalation. Inhaled vitamin D3 is highly toxic and exposure to dust is harmful. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. 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.

                  (6)

                  The assessment of cholecalciferol shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied except for water for drinking. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised in feed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. Maximum contents should be set for cholecalciferol. Cholecalciferol should not be administered directly via water for drinking because an additional route of administration would increase the risk for consumers and animals. Therefore, the authorisation of cholecalciferol as nutritional additive belonging to the functional group ‘vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’ should be denied as regards their use in water. This prohibition does not apply to this substance when is used within compound feeds which are subsequently administered via water.

                  (7)

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

                  (8)

                  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
      Authorisation
      The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘vitamins, provitamins 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
      Denial
      Authorisation of cholecalciferol, as an additive belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘vitamins, provitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’, is denied for its use in water for drinking.
      Article 3
      Transitional Measures
      1.   The substance specified in the Annex and premixtures containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 11 March 2018 in accordance with the rules applicable before 11 September 2017 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 as specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 11 September 2018 in accordance with the rules applicable before 11 September 2017 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 as specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 11 September 2019 in accordance with the rules applicable before 11 September 2017 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 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.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1234/2013
   of 2 December 2013
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2013 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union
   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 points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has established for 2012 and 2013 a scheme for the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union, which applies until the completion of the 2013 annual plan.

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 (3) adopted the plan for the supply of food to the most deprived persons and allocated the adequate financial resources in charge of 2013 budget year. In accordance with Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 (4), the implementation period of an annual plan is to begin on 1 October and to finish on 31 December of the following year. In order to ensure a smooth transition to the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived when it is established in 2014, notably in terms of delivery of support, and in accordance with the requests that the Commission received from Spain, Poland and Slovenia an extension of the implementation period of the 2013 annual plan for the distribution of food for the benefit of the most deprived persons seems appropriate. In order to ensure equal treatment, the extension should be applicable for all Member States.

               (3)

               As a result of judicial procedures launched against tender procedures, Greece has faced delays in the signature of public procurement contracts and has accordingly requested the extension of the deadline to submit payment requests mentioned in the first paragraph of Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012. In view of this request and of the difficult financial situation faced by Greece, it is appropriate to allow this extension. In order to ensure equal treatment, the derogation should apply to all Member States. As the deadline for the submission of payment requests was set at 30 September, this derogation should apply retrospectively.

               (4)

               For accounting purposes, the advances paid by the Paying Agencies to beneficiaries as well as the clearing of advances at beneficiary level should be booked in the Commission’s annual accounts. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Member States to fix the date by which the beneficiaries of those payments should submit costs statements and certain other information related to advance payments. In addition, it is appropriate to set the deadline of the data provision from the Member States to the Commission as 1 February 2014, which corresponds to the deadline applicable to the provision of accounting information referred to in Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 (5).

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 should be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               (2)

               (3)

               Article 5 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           (b)

                                       (b)

                                       a confirmation, by cost item, of the balance of unused advances remaining on 15 October 2013.

                                 Member States shall fix the date of transmission of the information referred to in the first subparagraph to allow it to be included in the notification referred to in paragraph 6.’;

                           (c)

                           paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘6.   No later than 1 February 2014, Member States shall notify the Commission, with the information referred to in Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 (6), of the total amount of the advance payments made by 15 October 2013 in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article which have not been cleared and which relate to operations that have not yet been completed.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1786
   of 7 October 2016
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 as regards declarations of expenditure for rural development programmes
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 36(6) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 36(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 provides that Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) is to apply to interim payments for rural development programmes. Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 lays down the rules on the interruption of a payment deadline. Article 22 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 (3) establishes how to declare expenditure for each rural development programme. To ensure consistency with the provisions of Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, Article 22(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 should refer only to the possibility for the authorising officer by sub-delegation to request additional information and interrupt the corresponding time limit for interim payment where a declaration of expenditure is incomplete or the Commission needs clarifications due to incomplete information, inconsistencies or differences of interpretations.

               (2)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The first subparagraph of Article 22(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 is replaced by the following:

      ‘Without prejudice to Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, where the authorising officer by sub-delegation requires further verifications, due to incomplete or unclear information provided or disagreements, differences of interpretation or any other inconsistency relating to a declaration of expenditure for a reference period, resulting in particular from the failure to communicate the information required under Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and Commission acts adopted under that Regulation, the Member State concerned shall, upon request by the authorising officer by sub-delegation, provide additional information within a period set in that request according to the seriousness of the problem.’

   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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, 7 October 2016.

            For the Commission

            The President

         Jean-Claude JUNCKER
