         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/985
   of 24 June 2015
   approving clothianidin as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 18
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products or inclusion into Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (2)

               That list includes clothianidin.

               (3)

               Clothianidin has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 18 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (4)

               Germany was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 27 May 2009 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (4).

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 2 October 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (6)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products used for product-type 18 and containing clothianidin may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve clothianidin for use in biocidal products for product-type 18 subject to compliance with the specific conditions in the Annex.

               (8)

               The opinion concludes that the characteristics of clothianidin render it very persistent (vP) and toxic (T) in accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (9)

               Since pursuant to Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, substances for which the Member States' evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 should be approved in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC, the period of approval should be 10 years in accordance with the practice established under that Directive.

               (10)

               For the purposes of Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 however, clothianidin meets the conditions of Article 10(1)(d) of that Regulation and should therefore be considered a candidate for substitution.

               (11)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (12)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Clothianidin is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 18, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the 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.

                  Clothianidin is considered a candidate for substitution in accordance with Article 10(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
                  The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.
                  The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions:

                              (1)

                              For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.

                              (2)

                              Products shall not be authorised for uses in animal housings where emission to a sewage treatment plant or direct emission to surface water cannot be prevented, unless it can be demonstrated that risks to the environment can be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.

                              (3)

                              Due to the risks identified for the soil compartment, products shall not be authorised for uses in animal housings others than for beef cattle, unless it can be demonstrated that risks to the environment can be reduced to an acceptable level.

                              (4)

                              For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

         (1)  The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.

         (2)  Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 152, 16.6.2009, p. 11).

         (3)  Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (OJ L 70, 16.3.2005, p. 1).

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 399/2011
   of 20 April 2011
   fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
   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 listed in Part XVII of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               Given the present situation on the market in pigmeat, export refunds should therefore 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 the refund 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 that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) 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 must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

               (5)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 46/2011 (5). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (6)

               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.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the condition provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
   2.   The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004 and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
   Article 2
   Regulation (EU) No 46/2011 is hereby repealed.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 April 2011.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/856
   of 18 May 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the conditions of approval of the active substance fluroxypyr
   (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 the second alternative of Article 21(3) and Article 78(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 736/2011 (2) approved fluroxypyr as an active substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 subject to certain conditions requiring the Member States concerned to ensure that the applicant at whose request fluroxypyr was approved provide further confirmatory information on six points, one of which concerned the relevance of the impurities present in the technical specifications.

               (2)

               On 25 June 2012 and 5 September 2013 the applicant submitted additional information intended to address the confirmatory data requirements to the rapporteur Member State Ireland within the time period provided for its submission.

               (3)

               Ireland assessed the additional information provided by the applicant. It submitted its own assessment, in the form of an addendum to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 22 December 2014 and invited them to comment on the assessment.

               (4)

               The Authority published a Technical Report (3) summarising the outcome of this consultation process for fluroxypyr on 22 July 2015.

               (5)

               The draft assessment report, the addendum and the Technical Report were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 23 March 2017 in the format of the Commission review report for fluroxypyr.

               (6)

               The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the Commission review report for fluroxypyr.

               (7)

               N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is classified under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) as toxic for reproduction category 1B and has a general concentration limit of 0,3 %. The presence of NMP in the technical material below 3 g/kg would be highly unlikely to pose any risk to consumers. Hence the Commission has concluded that the additional information provided showed that a maximum level for the toxicologically relevant impurity NMP should be set at less than 3 g/kg (< 0,3 %) in the technical material.

               (8)

               In order to ensure a high level of protection for consumers it is, therefore, appropriate to establish a maximum level for this impurity in the commercially manufactured active substance.

               (9)

               The Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               Member States should be allowed sufficient time to amend or withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing fluroxypyr.

               (11)

               For plant protection products containing fluroxypyr, where Member States grant any grace period in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, that period should, at the latest, expire on 8 September 2018.

               (12)

               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:
