         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 828/2011
   of 17 August 2011
   suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
   After consulting the Scientific Review Group,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2).

               (2)

               A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Regulation (EU) No 997/2010 of 5 November 2010 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3).

               (3)

               On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of Sagittarius serpentarius, listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97, will be seriously jeopardised if its introduction into the Union from Tanzania is not suspended. The introduction of Sagittarius serpentarius from Tanzania should therefore be suspended.

               (4)

               The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the suspension of the introduction into the Union of the following species should no longer be required:

                           —

                              Lynx lynx (Hunting trophies) from Azerbaijan;

                           —

                              Chamaeleo pfefferi from Cameroon;

                           —

                              Varanus exanthematicus (ranched specimens lesser than or equal to 35 cm total length), Varanus niloticus (ranched specimens lesser than or equal to 35 cm total length) and Kinixys belliana (ranched specimens lesser than or equal to 5 cm straight carapace length) from Benin;

                           —

                              Varanus niloticus from Burundi and Mozambique;

                           —

                              Varanus salvator from China, India and Singapore;

                           —

                              Python reticulatus from India and Singapore;

                           —

                              Aldabrachelys gigantea from the Seychelles;

                           —

                              Geochelone elegans from Pakistan;

                              Indotestudo elongata from Bangladesh, China and India.

               (5)

               The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to introduction into the Union pursuant to this Regulation have all been consulted.

               (6)

               The species names for Pachypodium sofiense and Euphorbia suzannae-marnierae have been adapted to latest official CITES references. Technical errors under the phylum MOLLUSCA have been corrected as well.

               (7)

               The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended should therefore be amended and Regulation (EU) No 997/2010 should be, for reasons of clarity, replaced.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2013
   of 11 November 2015
   laying down implementing technical standards with regard to standard deviations in relation to health risk equalisation systems in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II) (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 109a(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               For the purpose of the calculation of the health underwriting risk module of the standard formula for the Solvency Capital Requirement, standard deviations for premium and reserve risk should be laid down in relation to specific national legislative measures which permit the sharing of claims payments in respect of health risk amongst insurance and reinsurance undertakings.

               (2)

               Such standard deviations should be laid down only in relation to the Zorgverzekeringswet (Health Care Insurance Act) providing for a mandatory basic health insurance (basisverzekering) in the Netherlands (hereinafter the ‘health risk equalisation system in the Netherlands’). According to a survey of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, the health risk equalisation system in the Netherlands is the only such system within the Union that meets the criteria set out in Articles 109a(4) and (5) of Directive 2009/138/EC.

               (3)

               The standard deviations laid down in this Regulation have been determined by taking into account the calculations provided by De Nederlandsche Bank.

               (4)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 528/2011
   of 30 May 2011
   concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-β-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening (holder of authorisation Danisco Animal Nutrition)
   (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 endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588). The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               The application concerns the authorisation of endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 9/2010 (2).

               (5)

               New data were submitted in support of the application for the authorisation of endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 1 February 2011 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the zootechnical performance. 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 for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of endo-1,4-β-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) 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 preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               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
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, 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 20th day following 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) 2017/241
   of 10 February 2017
   concerning the non-approval of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil as a basic substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market
   (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 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 Article 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 19 October 2015 an application from the Institut technique de l'agriculture biologique (ITAB) for the approval of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil as basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required under the second subparagraph of Article 23(3).

               (2)

               The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical Report on the substance concerned on 22 June 2016 (2). The Commission presented the review report (3) and the draft of this Regulation on the non-approval of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 7 October 2016 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 7 December 2016.

               (3)

               The documentation provided by the applicant shows that Origanum vulgare L. essential oil fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

               (4)

               Specific concerns were identified, in the Technical Report of the Authority, regarding exposure to the essential oil and the components carvacrol, gamma-terpinene and 1,8-cineole specifically through pesticide use and, as a result, the assessment of the risk to operators, workers, bystanders, consumers and non-target organisms could not be finalised.

               (5)

               The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the Technical Report of the Authority and on the draft review report. The applicant submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.

               (6)

               However, despite the arguments put forward by the applicant, the concerns related to the substance cannot be eliminated.

               (7)

               Consequently, as laid down in the Commission review report, it has not been established that the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate not to approve Origanum vulgare L. essential oil as basic substance.

               (8)

               This Regulation does not prejudice the submission of a further application for the approval of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil as basic substance in accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (9)

               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 Origanum vulgare L. essential oil is not approved as basic substance.
   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.
