         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1214/2014
   of 11 November 2014
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   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, 11 November 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Heinz ZOUREK

            Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A solid, cylindrical, threaded product (so-called ‘pangea dual core screw’) made of extra hard titanium alloy, of a length of between 20 and 45 mm.
                  The shank is wholly threaded with a dual core thread containing a transition zone for the core diameter change. It is of a constant outer diameter of 4,0 mm, with a self-tapping profile and a blunt, threaded tip.
                  The product has a polyaxial (movable) U-shaped, internally threaded head that offers 25° of angulation around its axis allowing its adjustment.
                  The product has a specialised saddle in locking cap for fixing a rod (presented separately) in its head.
                  The product corresponds to the ISO/TC 150 standards for implant screws and is presented for use in trauma surgery as a part of a system for posterior stabilisation of the spine. It is installed using specific tools.
                  At importation, it is not presented in a sterilised packing. The product is marked with a number and therefore traceable throughout production and distribution.

                      (1) See image

                  9021 10 90

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9021, 9021 10 and 9021 10 90.
                  Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of the polyaxial U-shaped head with the locking cap, the product does not entirely correspond to a screw of base metal. Consequently, it cannot be considered a part of general use (screw) as referred to in note 2 to Section XV. Therefore, classification under heading 8108 is excluded.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9021 10 90 as splints and other fracture appliances.

         (1)  The image is purely for information.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 802/2014
   of 24 July 2014
   establishing models for national programmes and establishing the terms and conditions of the electronic data exchange system between the Commission and Member States pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down general provisions on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and on the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, prevention and combating crime and crisis management
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down general provisions on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and on the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management (1), and in particular Articles 14(4) and 24(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 together with the Specific Regulations referred to in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014, constitute a framework for Union funding to support the development of the area of freedom, security and justice.

               (2)

               Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 requires each Member State to propose a multiannual national programme. To ensure that the information provided to the Commission is consistent and comparable, it is necessary to establish a model which the national programme should follow.

               (3)

               Pursuant to Article 24(5) of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 all official exchanges of information between Member States and the Commission are to be carried out using an electronic data exchange system. It is therefore necessary to establish the terms and conditions with which that electronic data exchange system should comply. In order to be cost-effective and ensure overall coherence with all Union shared management Funds, the terms and conditions of the electronic data exchange system are the same, to the extent possible, as those provided for in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 184/2014 (2).

               (4)

               In order to improve the quality of information exchanged, and to render the information exchange system simpler and more useful, it is necessary to lay down basic requirements regarding the form and scope of the information to be exchanged.

               (5)

               Principles and rules should be laid down regarding the identification of the party responsible for uploading documents into the electronic data exchange system and updating those documents

               (6)

               Technical characteristics for an efficient electronic exchange system should be established in order to reduce the administrative burden for Member States and the Commission.

               (7)

               To ensure that both Member States and the Commission can continue to exchange information in cases of force majeure that hinder the use of electronic data exchange system, alternative means to encode and transfer data need to be specified.

               (8)

               Member States and the Commission should ensure that transfer of data through the electronic data exchange system is performed in a secured manner allowing for availability, integrity, authenticity, confidentiality and non-repudiation of information. Therefore rules on security should be set out.

               (9)

               This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and notably the right to protection of personal data. This Regulation should therefore be applied in accordance with these rights and principles. Concerning personal data processed by Member States, Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) applies. Concerning the processing of personal data by the Union institutions and bodies and the free movement of such data, Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) applies.

               (10)

               In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation and not delay the approval of the national programmes, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (11)

               The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and are as a consequence bound by this Regulation.

               (12)

               Denmark is not bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 nor by this Regulation.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the ‘Asylum, Migration and Integration and Internal Security Funds’ Committee.

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Models for national programmes
   The model for national programmes is set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   Establishment of electronic data exchange system
   The Commission shall establish an electronic data exchange system for all official exchanges of information between Member States and the Commission (hereinafter referred to as ‘SFC2014’).
   Article 3

   2.   Any transmission of information to the Commission shall be verified and submitted by a person other than the person who entered the data for that transmission. This separation of tasks shall be supported by SFC2014 or by the Member State's management and control information systems connected automatically with SFC2014.
   3.   Member States shall appoint, at national or regional level or at both national and regional levels, one or more persons responsible for managing access rights to SFC2014. Those persons shall fulfil the following tasks:

               (b)

               informing users about their obligations to preserve the security of the system;

               (c)

               verifying the entitlement of users to the required privilege level in relation to their tasks and their hierarchical position;

               (d)

               requesting the termination of access rights when those access rights are no longer needed or justified;

               (e)

               promptly reporting suspicious events that may undermine the security of the system;

               (f)

               ensuring the continued accuracy of user identification data by reporting any changes;

               (g)

               taking the necessary data protection and commercial confidentiality precautions in accordance with applicable Union and national rules; and

               (h)

               informing the Commission of any changes affecting the capacity of the Member State authorities or users of SFC2014 to carry out the responsibilities referred to in paragraph 1 or their personal capacity to carry out the responsibilities referred to in points (a) to (g).

         4.   Exchanges of data and transactions shall bear a compulsory electronic signature within the meaning of Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Member States and the Commission shall recognise the legal effectiveness and admissibility of the electronic signature used in SFC2014 as evidence in legal proceedings.
   5.   Information processed through SFC2014 shall respect the protection of privacy of personal data for individuals and commercial confidentiality for legal entities in accordance with Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), Directive 2009/136/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), Directive 95/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.
   Article 5
   Characteristics of SFC2014
   In order to ensure the electronic exchange of information, SFC2014 shall have the following characteristics:

               (a)

               interactive forms or forms pre-filled by the system on the basis of data already previously recorded in the system;

               (b)

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 81(1) and 83(4) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has repealed and replaced Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as from 1 January 2014. However, Article 230(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that, as regards the system of milk production limitation, Section III of Chapter III of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as well as Article 55, Article 85 thereof and Annexes IX and X thereto continue to apply until 31 March 2015.

   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2014 opening and providing for the administration of Union import tariff quotas for poultrymeat originating in Ukraine
   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), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards customs duties for imports of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation the agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the tariff quotas as set out in that Annex.

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2014 (3) opened and provided for the administration of Union import tariff quotas for poultrymeat originating in Ukraine until 31 October 2014.

               Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 has been amended by Regulation (EU) No 1150/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). The amendment primarily provides for the extension of the application of Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 until 31 December 2015 and for fixing the quantities of the quotas for 2015. It is therefore appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 413/2014.
