            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/63
      of 14 December 2016
      concerning the authorisation of benzyl alcohol, 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, p-tolualdehyde, 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzyl acetate, benzyl butyrate, benzyl formate, benzyl propionate, benzyl hexanoate, benzyl isobutyrate, benzyl isovalerate, hexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, isopentyl benzoate, pentyl salicylate and isobutyl benzoate as feed additives for all animal a species and of veratraldehyde and gallic acid as feed additives for certain 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)

                  Benzyl alcohol, 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, veratraldehyde, 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, p-tolualdehyde, 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, benzoic acid, gallic acid, benzyl acetate, benzyl butyrate, benzyl formate, benzyl propionate, benzyl hexanoate, benzyl isobutyrate, benzyl isovalerate, hexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, isopentyl benzoate, pentyl salicylate and isobutyl benzoate (‘substances concerned’) were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Veratraldehyde for poultry and fish and gallic acid for fish will not be re-authorised as they were withdrawn by the applicant.

                  (3)

                  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of benzyl alcohol, 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, p-tolualdehyde, 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzyl acetate, benzyl butyrate, benzyl formate, benzyl propionate, benzyl hexanoate, benzyl isobutyrate, benzyl isovalerate, hexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, isopentyl benzoate, pentyl salicylate and isobutyl benzoate as feed additives for all animal a species and of veratraldehyde and gallic acid as feed additives for certain animal species. The applicant requested those additives be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was 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 opinion of 13 June 2012 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that the function of the substances concerned in feed is similar to that on food. The Authority has already concluded that for food the substances concerned are efficacious, as they increase the food smell or palatability. Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated for feed. The Authority cannot conclude on the safety of the concerned substances in water for drinking. However, those substances can be used within compound feeds which are subsequently administered via water.

                  (5)

                  Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. Since safety reasons do not require the setting of a maximum content, except for benzoic acid, and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, recommended contents should be indicated on the label of the additive. Where such contents are exceeded, certain information should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compound feeds and feed materials.

                  (6)

                  The Authority concluded that in the absence of data the substances concerned should be considered as potentially hazardous to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes, skin sensitisers and harmful if swallowed. 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.

                  (7)

                  The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (8)

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

                  (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:

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/613
      of 19 April 2016
      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, 19 April 2016.

               For the Commission,

               On behalf of the President,

            Stephen QUEST

               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)

                     An article (so-called ‘monitor arm’) made of aluminium, consisting of two arms, movable joints, and an attaching part at each end of the article.
                     It is designed to be fixed onto a wall, a desk or a rail at one end and to a monitor at the other.
                     The article allows height/width/depth adjustment of the monitor fixed to it. The monitor can be moved in all directions as required by the user. Simultaneously the cables can be neatly concealed in the article.
                     The article can also be adapted for use with tablets, telephones, etc.

                         (*) See image

                     7616 99 90

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7616 , 7616 99  and 7616 99 90 .
                     Classification under heading 8428  as lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery is excluded as the main purpose of the article is to ensure that the equipment fixed to the arm is used advantageously from an ergonomic perspective. The apparatus fixed to the arm is not handled within the meaning of heading 8428  (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8428 ).
                     Since various types of apparatus can be fixed to the article, classification under heading 8473 , as parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with machines of headings 8469  to 8472 , is also excluded.
                     Because the article does not perform any function distinctly from and independently of any other machine or appliance attached to it, classification under heading 8479 , as other mechanical appliances having individual functions, is also excluded (see also the HSEN to heading 8479 , third paragraph, (A)).
                     The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7616 99 90 , as other articles of aluminium.
