         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/359
   of 28 February 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the conditions of approval of the active substance oxyfluorfen
   (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 798/2011 (2) approved oxyfluorfen as an active substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, under the condition that the Member States concerned ensure that the applicant at whose request oxyfluorfen was approved provides further confirmatory information on five specific aspects, one of which concerned the potential risk to aquatic organisms for the active substance and for the metabolites RH-45469, MW 306, MW 347, MW 274 and the unidentified metabolite Deg 27.

               (2)

               On 29 June and 15 December 2012 the applicant submitted additional information to address the confirmatory data requirements to the rapporteur Member State Spain within the time period provided for its submission.

               (3)

               Spain assessed the additional information submitted by the applicant. It submitted its 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 14 July 2014.

               (4)

               The Member States, the applicant and the Authority were consulted and asked to provide comments on the assessment of the rapporteur Member State. The Authority published a Technical Report summarising the outcome of this consultation for oxyfluorfen on 6 November 2014 (3).

               (5)

               The Commission consulted the Authority in relation to certain areas of the assessment. The Authority presented its conclusion on the risk assessment of oxyfluorfen on 28 July 2015 (4). The draft assessment report, the addendum and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 24 January 2017 in the format of the Commission review report for oxyfluorfen.

               (6)

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

               (7)

               The Commission has considered that the additional information provided showed that parent substance and metabolites MW 347 and Deg 27 represent a high risk for aquatic organisms.

               (8)

               The Commission has concluded that the further confirmatory information required has not been fully provided and that a high risk for aquatic organisms resulting from exposure to oxyfluorfen and metabolites MW 347 and Deg 27 cannot be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.

               (9)

               In order to minimise the exposure of aquatic organisms, it is, therefore, appropriate to further restrict the conditions of use of this active substance and to provide for specific risk mitigation measures for the protection of those species.

               (10)

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

               (11)

               Member States should be provided with time to amend or withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing oxyfluorfen.

               (12)

               For plant protection products containing oxyfluorfen, 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 21 June 2018.

               (13)

               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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 272/2013
   of 21 March 2013
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 as regards representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin
   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 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 614/2009 of 7 July 2009 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (2), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (3) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

               (2)

               Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.

               (5)

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

   of 9 October 2013
   fixing an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export-licence applications and suspending the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar
   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),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 7e in conjunction with Article 9(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the sugar produced during the marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit fixed by the Commission.

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 476/2013 of 23 May 2013 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2013/2014 marketing year (3) sets the abovementioned limits.

               (3)

               The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceed the quantitative limit fixed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 476/2013. An acceptance percentage should therefore be set for quantities applied for from 1 to 4 October 2013. All export-licence applications for sugar lodged after 4 October 2013 should accordingly be rejected and the lodging of export-licence applications should be suspended,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Export licences for out-of-quota sugar for which applications were lodged from 1 to 4 October 2013 shall be issued for the quantities applied for, multiplied by an acceptance percentage of 42,169456 %.
   2.   Applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences submitted on 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 October 2013 are hereby rejected.
   3.   The lodging of applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences shall be suspended for the period 14 October 2013 to 30 September 2014.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1302/2011
   of 9 December 2011
   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 which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (5)

               The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,

         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 issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   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.

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  Plastic bottle made of polyethylene with stopper and a round base form.
                  The product has a height of around 20 cm and a capacity of 0,5 litre.
                  The product is designed for insertion into the holder for bottles on bicycles, and it is used for the conveyance of beverages.
                  (See photo) (1)

                  3923 30 10

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3923, 3923 30 and 3923 30 10.
                  As the product is a plastic bottle with a stopper containing no other elements such as, for example, detachable drinking cups, and as it is used for the conveyance of beverages for refreshment, it cannot be considered to be a tableware, kitchenware or other household article of heading 3924. Consequently, classification under heading 3924 is excluded.
                  The product being an article for the conveyance or packing of goods is therefore to be classified under heading 3923 (see Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 3923, point (a) of the first paragraph).
