               (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 therefore be amended accordingly.

               (4)

   of 31 August 2011
   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 21762) and of a preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri (DSM 22963) as feed additives for all 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.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, applications were submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 21762) and of a preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri (DSM 22963). Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               The applications concern the authorisation of a preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 21762) and of a preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri (DSM 22963) as feed additives for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 15 March 2011 (2) that Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 21762) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this preparation has the potential to improve the production of silage from all forages by reducing the pH and increasing the preservation of dry matter. 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 Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (5)

               The Authority concluded in its opinion of 7 April 2011 (3) that Lactobacillus buchneri (DSM 22963) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this preparation has the potential to improve the production of silage by increasing acetic acid production. 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 Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 21762) and of the preparation of Lactobacillus buchneri (DSM 22963) 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 preparations 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 preparations specified in Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, are authorised as additives 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) No 836/2013
   of 30 August 2013
   fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 1 September 2013
   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 (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 September 2013 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   From 1 September 2013, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.

   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 of 23 March 2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Regulation (EU) No 961/2010 (1), and in particular Article 46(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 23 March 2012, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran.

               (2)

               By its judgment of 18 September 2015 in Case T-121/13, the General Court of the European Union annulled the Council's decision to include Oil Industry Pension Fund Investment Company (OPIC) on the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures set out in Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 267/2012.

               (3)

               OPIC should be included again on the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures, on the basis of a new statement of reasons.

               (4)

               Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2015.

      The entity listed below is inserted in the list set out in Part I of Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 267/2012:
      I.   Persons and entities involved in nuclear or ballistic missile activities and persons and entities providing support to the Government of Iran

                     Oil industry Pension Fund Investment Company (OPIC)

                     No 234, Taleghani St, Tehran, Iran

                     OPIC provides significant support to the Government of Iran by providing financial resources and financing services for oil and gas development projects to a variety of entities linked to the Government of Iran, including subsidiaries of state owned companies (NIOC). Also, OPIC has owned IOEC (Iranian Offshore Engineering Construction Co.) which is EU designated for providing logistical support to the Government of Iran.
                     The oil and gas sector constitutes a significant source of funding for the Government of Iran, and there is a potential connection between Iran's oil revenue derived from its energy sector and the funding of Iran's proliferation sensitive activities.
                     The Managing Director of OPIC is Naser Maleki, who is a United Nations designated individual on the grounds of being Head of the Shahid Hemat Industrial Group (SHIG) and also a MODAFL (Iranian Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics) official overseeing the work on the Shahab 3 ballistic missile programme (Iran's long range ballistic missile currently in service). SHIG is a United Nations designated entity on the grounds that it is a subordinate entity of Aerospaces Industries Organisation (AIO, which is an EU-designated entity) and involved in Iran's ballistic missile programme. Accordingly, OPIC is directly associated with Iran's proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or the development of nuclear weapons delivery systems.

   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 9(4)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (2) lays down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Union and the veterinary certification requirements.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 119/2009 (3) lays down a list of third countries or parts thereof, for imports into, or transit through, the Union of meat of wild leporidae, of certain wild land mammals and of farmed rabbits and the veterinary certification requirements.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (4) lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of live animals or fresh meat. It also establishes lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof which fulfil certain criteria and from which therefore consignments may be introduced into the Union and the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of fresh meat from ungulates as defined in Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (5).

               (4)

               Commission Decision 2000/572/EC (6) lays down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of meat preparations from third countries.

               (5)

               Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 (7) lays down rules for the protection of animals at the time of killing, which apply from 1 January 2013.

               (6)

               Article 12 of that Regulation establishes that the health certificate accompanying meat imported from third countries are to be supplemented by an attestation certifying that requirements at least equivalent to those laid down in Chapters II and III of that Regulation have been met.

               (7)

               For reasons of clarity, the animal welfare statements in the model of veterinary certificates ‘POU’ and ‘RAT’ laid down in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, in the model of veterinary certificate ‘RM’ laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 119/2009, in the models of veterinary certificates ‘BOV’, ‘OVI’, ‘POR’, ‘EQU’ and ‘SUF’ laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 and the model of veterinary certificate ‘MP-PREP’ laid down in Annex II to Decision 2000/572/EC should be updated.

               (8)

               Such statement should also be added to the model of veterinary certificate ‘RUF’ laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 in order to provide the necessary certification only in the case that farmed game animals would be slaughtered or killed in a slaughterhouse.

               (9)

               It is appropriate to introduce a transitional period to allow third countries to adapt to the amended models of veterinary certificates.

               (10)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2325
   of 11 December 2015
   making imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation subject to registration
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 14(5) thereof,
   After informing the Member States,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 14 May 2015, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China (‘China’) and the Russian Federation (‘Russia’) following a complaint lodged on 1 April 2015 by Eurofer (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain cold-rolled flat steel products.

         1.   PRODUCT CONCERNED

               (2)

               The product subject to registration (‘the product concerned’) is flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, or other alloy steel but excluding of stainless steel, of all widths, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated and not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), but not including:

                           —

                           flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of all width, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated, not further worked than cold-rolled, whether or not in coils, of all thickness, electrical,

                           —

                           flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of all width, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated, in coils, of a thickness of less than 0,35 mm, annealed (known as ‘black plates’),

                           —

                           flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of all width, of silicon-electrical steel, and

                           —

                           flat-rolled products of alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), of high-speed steel,

                     originating in China and Russia (‘the countries concerned’), currently falling within CN code(s) ex 7209 15 00, 7209 16 90, 7209 17 90, 7209 18 91, ex 7209 18 99, ex 7209 25 00, 7209 26 90, 7209 27 90, 7209 28 90, 7211 23 30, ex 7211 23 80, ex 7211 29 00, 7225 50 80, 7226 92 00. These CN codes are given for information only.

         2.   REQUEST

               (3)

               The registration request pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation was made by the complainant on 12 November 2015. The complainant requested that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.

         3.   GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION

               (4)

               According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry, which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.

               (5)

               The complainant claims that registration is justified as the product concerned continues to be dumped and that importers were well aware of dumping practices which stretched over an extended period of time and were causing injury to the Union industry. The complainant further claims that Russian and Chinese imports are causing injury to the Union industry and that there was a substantial increase in the level of these imports, even following the investigation period, which would seriously undermine the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty, if such a duty is to be applied.

               (6)

               The Commission considers that the importers were aware, or should have been aware of the exporters' dumping practices. Sufficient prima facie evidence in this regard was contained in the complaint and this was spelled out in the notice of initiation for this proceeding (3). The non-confidential version of the complaint estimated dumping margins of 28 % for Chinese imports and up to 20 %-25 % for Russian imports. Given the extent of the dumping that may be occurring, it is reasonable to assume that the importers would be aware, or should have been aware, of the situation.

               (7)

               For China, the complainant provided in the complaint evidence on the normal value based on the pricing information of a Canadian producer, having chosen Canada as analogue country. For Russia, the complainant provided evidence on a constructed normal value (estimated manufacturing costs, SG&A and profit). The evidence of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal values thus established with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product concerned when sold for export to the Union. The Chinese export price was determined on the basis of nine invoices of Chinese export sales to the Union, while the Russian export price was established using Eurostat data.

               (8)

               In addition, the complainant provided in both the complaint and the request for registration sufficient evidence in form of press releases in which the dumping practices by Chinese and Russian exporters are described and which prima facie could and should not have been ignored by importers.

               (9)

               Since the initiation of the proceeding in May 2015, a further increase of approx. 33 % for China and 45 % for Russia is observed when comparing the import volumes of the countries concerned during the period May 2014 to September 2014 with the same period in 2015 (i.e. the period following the initiation). In the request for registration, the complainant also compared the combined volumes of Chinese and Russian imports of the product concerned in the period January 2014-September 2014 with the period January 2015-September 2015. This comparison showed an increase of 24 % in import volume from the two countries concerned. This shows that there was a substantial rise in Russian and Chinese imports of the product concerned in the first half of 2015 and all the more so following the initiation of the present investigation.

               (10)

               The complainant also included prima facie evidence in the complaint and in the request for registration on the decreasing trend of the import sales prices for the countries concerned. In the complaint, the average Chinese sales price to the Union decreased by 16 %, while the average Russian sales price to the Union decreased by 7 % between 2010 and September 2014. In the request for registration, import prices for the period 2011 to the first half of 2015 were compared, showing a decrease of 21 % in the average Chinese import price and a drop of 26 % for the average Russian import price. As a whole, and given the extent of the dumping margins alleged, this evidence provides sufficient support at this stage that the exporters in both China and Russia practise dumping. As for the evolution of import prices after the initiation of the case in May 2015, a further drop of 5 % was observed for each of the countries concerned using September 2015 figures in Eurostat.

               (11)

               Furthermore, in the complaint there is sufficient prima facie evidence that injury is being caused and in the submissions made in the framework of the investigation, including the registration request, there is evidence that additional injury would be caused by a continued rise in these imports at further decreasing prices. In light of the timing, the increase in volume of the dumped imports and other circumstances (such as the excess capacity in China and pricing behaviour of the Chinese and Russian exporters) would likely seriously undermine the remedial effect of any definitive duties, unless such duties would be applied retroactively. In addition, in view of the initiation of the current proceeding and taking into account the developments of Russian and Chinese imports in terms of prices and volumes hitherto, it is reasonable to assume that the level of imports of the product concerned may further increase prior to the adoption of provisional measures, if any, and inventories may be rapidly built up by the importers.

         4.   PROCEDURE

               (12)

               In view of the above, the Commission has concluded that the complainant provided sufficient prima facie evidence to justify making imports of the product concerned subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.

               (13)

               All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.

         5.   REGISTRATION

               (14)

               Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration for the purpose of ensuring that, should the investigation result in findings leading to the imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively on the registered imports in accordance with Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation.

               (15)

               The complainant estimates in the complaint an average dumping margin of 28 % and an average underselling margin of 19 %-22 % for China for the product concerned. For Russia, the complainant estimates the average dumping margins to be in the range of 15 %-20 % for the product concerned. The average underselling margin for Russia ranges from 23 % to 27 % for the product concerned. The estimated amount of possible future liability is set for China at the level of underselling estimated on the basis of the complaint, i.e. 19 %-22 % ad valorem on the CIF import value of the product concerned. For Russia, the estimated amount of possible future liability is set at the level of the average dumping margin estimated on the basis of the complaint, i.e. 15 %-20 % ad valorem on the CIF import value of the product concerned.

         6.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

               (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 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 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.
      Done at Brussels, 18 November 2011.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A set put up for retail sale consisting of:
                  —   apparatus A: a wireless transmitter for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless receiver for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared transmitter and two separate antennas, and
                  —   apparatus B: a wireless receiver for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless transmitter for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared receiver and two separate antennas.
                  The set is designed for transmission of an audio/video signal from an external source such as a satellite receiver or a DVD player connected to apparatus A, to another audio/video apparatus such as a monitor or a television set connected to apparatus B, within a range of 400 m.
                  The audio/video signals transmitted from apparatus A to apparatus B at a frequency of 2,4 GHz are in the form of television signals.
                  The signals transmitted from apparatus B to apparatus A at a frequency of 433 MHz are initiated by an infrared remote control device. These signals function independently of the signals for audio/video transmission.
                  The remote control device is used for controlling the external source connected to the audio/video transmitter (apparatus A).

                      (1) See image

                  8528 71 99

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 71 and 8528 71 99.
                  The principal function of apparatus A is the transmission of audio/video signals (television) as described in heading 8525 (see Note 3 to Section XVI).
                  The principal function of apparatus B is the reception of television signals, as described in heading 8528. The transmission of signals coming from the remote control device is of a secondary nature (see Note 3 to Section XVI).
                  Given the functions performed by apparatus A and apparatus B, the intended use of the set is the transmission and reception of television.
                  The product is a set within the meaning of General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 3(b), consisting of a transmission apparatus of heading 8525 and a television reception apparatus of heading 8528. Given that neither component gives the set its essential character, classification by virtue of GIR 3(b) is excluded.
                  Since the set cannot be classified by application of GIR 3(a) or 3(b), it is to be classified, by application of GIR 3(c), under CN code 8528 71 99 as other reception apparatus for television not designed to incorporate a video display or screen.
