               COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...

               of 5.4.2017

               amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/378 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the implementation of the annual clearance of accounts procedure and the implementation of the conformity clearance

               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 Article 47(6)  thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)The first annual accounts clearance exercise carried out pursuant to Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/378
                  2
                highlighted the need to clarify the situation of annual pre-financing amounts that are not fully cleared by the annual accounts submitted.

               (2)It is necessary to establish arrangements for the implementation of the conformity clearance and in particular rules on criteria for determining the level of financial correction that the Commission can apply pursuant to Article 47 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 following the completion of that procedure.

               (3)To ensure legal certainty and equal treatment of all Member States, it is essential to clarify the criteria for determining deficiencies in the effective functioning of the management and control systems, define the main types of such deficiencies and set out the criteria for determining the level of financial correction.

               (4)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/378 should therefore be amended.

               (5)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

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/378 is amended as follow:

               (1)Article 1 is amended as follows:

               (a)Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:

               '6. Where the amount accepted by the Commission in the decision on the clearance of annual accounts for financial year N is lower than the annual pre-financing amount for financial year N, the latter amount shall be cleared against the former. Any outstanding pre-financing amount shall be cleared in the course of subsequent clearance exercises.

               (b)The first subparagraph shall apply also in cases where a Member State submits annual accounts reporting zero payment.'

               (c)Paragraph 7 is deleted.

               (2)The following articles are inserted:

                'Article 3a

               Criteria for determining deficiencies in the effective functioning of the management and control system

               1.
                     The Commission shall base its assessment of the effective functioning of the management and control system on the results of all available audits carried out by the Member States, the Commission services and the Court of Auditors, the results of investigations carried out by European Anti-Fraud Office or any other information on compliance with the designation criteria referred to in Article 2(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1042/2014*.

               The Commission's assessment shall cover the internal control environment of the national programme, the management and control activities of the Responsible Authority, and the control and audit activities of the Audit Authority and shall be based on verification of compliance with the key requirements set out in Table 1 of the Annex.

               2.
                     Compliance with the key requirements referred to in paragraph 1 according to the categories set out in Table 2 of the Annex shall be used to assess the effective functioning of each competent authority and to reach an overall conclusion on the management and control system. Any mitigating or aggravating factors shall be taken into account in the overall conclusion on the management and control system.

               3.  Wherever it is assessed that any of the key requirements 2, 4, 5, 8, 11, 12 or 14 in Table 1 of the Annex, or two or more of the other key requirements in that Table fall into categories 3 or 4 set out in Table 2 of the Annex, it shall be considered as a type of serious deficiency in the effective functioning of the management and control system.

               Article 3b

               Criteria for applying and determining the level of financial corrections

               1.
                     The Commission shall apply financial corrections where it identifies one or more individual or systemic irregularities or one or more deficiencies in the effective functioning of the management and control system ('system deficiencies').

               For the purpose of this Regulation, an irregularity means any infringement of Union or national law or any infringement of national rules resulting from an act or omission by a beneficiary or beneficiaries which has, or would have, the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the European Union by charging to it an unjustified item of expenditure.

               The amount of the financial correction shall be determined on a case-by-case basis wherever possible and shall be equal to the exact amount of expenditure wrongly charged to the general budget of the Union.

               Where the Commission identifies irregularities in a representative sample of expenditure in all or part of a national programme, but it is not cost-effective to verify the regularity of the other expenditure, the correction may be determined by extrapolating the resultsof the examination of the sample to the rest of the population from which it was drawn.

               Where the Commission identifies systemic irregularities or system deficiencies but where it is not possible, even by extrapolation, to quantify the correction precisely, a flat-rate financial correction shall be applied to the expenditure declared for the part of the system affected in accordance with the indicative criteria and scales set out in paragraphs 2 and 3.

               Flat-rate corrections may also be applied in respect of individual irregularities.

               2.
                     The level of flat-rate correction shall be determined taking into account the following factors:

               (a)the degree of seriousness of the irregularity or of the system deficiency in relation to the overall system or part of it, or to the types of expenditure declared;

               (b)the degree of risk of loss to which the Union budget was exposed as a result of the irregularity or  system deficiency ;

               (c)the vulnerability of the expenditure to fraud due to the irregularity or system deficiency;

               (d)any mitigating or aggravating factors.

               3.
                     The level of correction shall be determined as follows:

               (a)where the irregularity or irregularities or the system deficiency or deficiencies is/are so fundamental, frequent or widespread that it/they represent(s) a complete failure of the system that puts at risk the legality and regularity of all the expenditure concerned, a flat rate of 100 % shall be applied.

               (b)where the irregularity or irregularities or the system deficiency or deficiencies is/are so frequent and widespread that it/they represent(s) an extremely serious failure of the system that puts at risk the legality and regularity of a very high proportion of the expenditure concerned, a flat rate of 25 % shall be applied;

               (c)where the irregularity or irregularities or the system deficiency or deficiencies  is/are due to the system functioning partially, poorly or  infrequently so as to put  at risk the legality and regularity of a high proportion of the expenditure concerned, a flat rate of 10 % shall be applied;

               (d)where the irregularity or irregularities or the system deficiency or deficiencies is/are due to the system functioning inconsistently so as to put at risk the legality and regularity of a significant proportion of the expenditure concerned, a flat rate of 5 % shall be applied.

               In accordance with the principle of proportionality, the rate may be reduced to 2% where the nature and gravity of the irregularity or system deficiency are not considered to justify a 5% correction rate.

               4.   Where, due to a competent authority's failure to take adequate corrective measures following the application of a financial correction in a financial year, the same irregularity or irregularities or deficiency or deficiencies is/are identified in a subsequent financial year, the rate of flat rate correction may, due to the persistence of the irregularity or irregularities or deficiency or deficiencies, be raised to a level not exceeding the next level in the scale set out in paragraph 3.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 120/2014
   of 7 February 2014
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006 on detailed rules for the implementation of Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council as regards the Community reference laboratory for genetically modified organisms
   (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 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 32, second subparagraph and fifth subparagraph, thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Detailed rules for implementing Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 were set out by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006 (2), as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 503/2013 (3). It is necessary to update those rules, in particular regarding the financial contributions of applicants, in order to take into account changes in the costs incurred when testing and validating methods for detection, and changes in the allocation of tasks in the Member States.

               (2)

               The Regulation should also take into account the growing number of GMOs containing stacked transformation events with an increasing combination of single transformation events.

               (3)

               It is necessary to update the list of designated national reference laboratories to assist the Community Reference Laboratory referred to in in the first paragraph of Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (CRL) for testing and validation of detection methods in order to take account of changes of designation of national reference laboratories by Member States and to include those in the Member States which recently joined the Union.

               (4)

               Transitional measures should be laid down to allow applicants who have received the acknowledgement of the application for an authorisation by the national competent authority according to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 before the entry into force of this Regulation to pay the financial contributions according to Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006.

               (5)

               Due consideration should be given to public research institutions established in the EU applying for GMO authorisations related to projects mainly financed by the public sector, and a reduction of the amount of the financial contribution should therefore be foreseen in such cases.

               (6)

               Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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
   Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006 is amended as follows:

               (2)

               In Article 2, the following definitions are added:

                           ‘(e)

                           “GMO containing a single transformation event” means a GMO that has been obtained through a single transformation process;

                           (f)

               (3)

               Article 3 is replaced by the following:
               ‘Article 3
               Contributions
               1.   For each application for a GMO containing a single transformation event, a flat-rate contribution of EUR 40 000 shall be paid by the applicant to the CRL.
               2.   The CRL shall request the applicant to pay an additional contribution of EUR 65 000 where a full validation procedure of a method of detection and identification for a GMO containing a single transformation event is required in accordance with the following provisions:

                                       genetically modified plants for food or feed uses;

                                       (ii)

                                       food or feed containing or consisting of genetically modified plants;

                                       (iii)

                                       food produced from or containing ingredients produced from genetically modified plants or feed produced from such plants; or

                           (b)

                           Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 641/2004 in all other cases.

                     3.   For each application for a GMO containing stacked transformation events, where the method of detection and identification of each single transformation event that constitutes the GMO has been validated by the CRL or where the validation is pending, the flat-rate contribution depends on the number (N) of single transformation events that constitute the GMO and shall be calculated as EUR 20 000 + (N × EUR 5 000). Only the GMO containing stacked transformation events with the highest number of single transformation events is to be considered in this calculation.
               4.   For each application for a GMO containing stacked transformation events that consists of one or more single transformation event(s) for which the method of detection and identification has not been validated by the CRL or for which no validation is pending, the contribution shall be calculated as follows: Article 3(1) and 3 (2) shall apply to single transformation event(s) for which no validated method exists and Article 3(3) shall apply to the GMO containing stacked transformation events, N corresponding to the number of single transformation events composing the GMO for which a validated method exists.
               5.   The CRL shall reduce the amount of the additional contribution referred to in paragraph 2, in proportion of the costs saved:

                           (a)

                           where the material needed to perform the full validation procedure is supplied by the applicant; and/or

                           (b)

                           where the applicant provides data that refers to modules, such as DNA extraction protocols and species specific reference systems, already validated and published by the CRL.

                     6.   Where the costs of the validation of the method of detection and identification proposed by the applicant exceed by at least 50 % the amount of the financial contributions mentioned under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a further contribution shall be requested. The further contribution shall cover 50 % of the part of the costs exceeding the amount of the contributions referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.
               7.   The contributions provided for in paragraphs 1 to 6 remain due in case of withdrawal of the application, without prejudice to Article 5(3)’.

               (4)

               Article 4 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘1.   Where the applicant is a SME, has its head office established in a developing country, or is a public research institution established in the EU whose application relates to a project financed mainly by the public sector, the financial contributions referred to in Article 3(1) to (4) shall be reduced by 50 %’.

                           (b)

                           Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘3.   Article 3(6) shall not apply to applicants referred to in Article 4(1).’

               (5)

               Article 5 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
                           ‘1.   The applicant shall provide evidence that the contribution referred to in Article 3(1), 3(3) and/or 3(4) has been paid to the CRL when it submits the samples of the food and feed and their control samples to the CRL in accordance with Articles 5(3)(j) or Article 17(3)(j) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
                           2.   Where, as provided for in Article 3(2), a full validation procedure is required, the CRL shall notify the applicant in writing of this fact and require the payment of the amount in accordance with that provision, prior to starting step 4 (collaborative trial) of its validation process.
                           3.   Where, as provided for in Article 3(6), the CRL expects the costs of the validation of the detection method proposed by the applicant to exceed by at least 50 % the amount of the financial contributions referred to in Article 3(1) to (4), it shall notify the applicant in writing of the estimated amount of the further costs.
                           If, within one month of the date of receipt of the notification, the applicant withdraws its application, the further contribution referred to in Article 3(6) shall not be due.
                           After completion of the validation of the detection method, the CRL shall notify the applicant in writing the actual and duly justified costs incurred in carrying out the validation of the method of detection and require payment of the contribution due in accordance with Article 3(6).’

                           (b)

                           Paragraph 5 is deleted.

                           (c)

                           The first subparagraph of paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘The contributions provided for in paragraph 2 and 3 shall be payable by the applicant within 45 days of the date of reception of the notification. Step 4 (collaborative trial) of the validation process shall not be started before those contributions are received’.

               (6)

               In Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following paragraphs 2 and 3:
               ‘2.   The national reference laboratories listed in Annex II shall be selected randomly for participation in an international collaborative validation trial and shall receive 2 400 EUR from the CRL as a contribution to the costs for their participation. In case of Article 4(1) this amount shall be proportionally reduced.
               3.   The CRL and those national reference laboratories listed in Annex II that participate in a validation study shall enter into a written agreement to define the relations between them, notably in financial matters.’

               (7)

               In Annex I, point (a) is replaced by the following:

                           ‘(a)

                           be accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 on “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”, or an equivalent international standard which ensures that the laboratories:

                                       have an adequate administrative infrastructure,

                                       —

                                       have sufficient data-processing capacity to produce technical reports and to enable rapid communication with the other laboratories participating in the testing and validation of detection methods;

                                 Laboratories listed in Annex II to this Regulation which are not yet accredited are admitted until 31 December 2014 if the laboratory declares to be in the process of accreditation and provides proof of technical competences to the CRL’.

               (8)

               Annex II is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

         Article 2

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product composed of the meat of different crustaceans and molluscs (in % per weight):

                  1605 54 00

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Chapter 16 and the wording of CN codes 1605 and 1605 54 00.
                  The product consists of ‘seafood’ (meat of different crustaceans and molluscs) a part of which is raw or blanched (heading 0307) while another part is cooked (heading 1605). Such a product is considered a preparation, taking into account that cooking excludes classification in Chapter 3 as the product, even partially, has been prepared by a process not provided for in that Chapter (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 3, General, fifth paragraph).
                  As cuttlefish and squid predominate by weight, the product is classified by application of Note 2 to Chapter 16 under the CN code of Chapter 16 corresponding to the predominant part of the preparation.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 1605 54 00 as prepared or preserved cuttlefish and squid.

      of 17 October 2017
      concerning the authorisation of a preparation o endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 25541) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, laying hens, pigs for fattening, minor poultry species and minor porcine species for fattening and amending Regulation (EC) No 255/2005 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 668/2003 (holder of the authorisation Andrés Pintaluba S.A.)
      (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)

                  The preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 25541) was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 668/2003 (3) and as a feed additive for laying hens by Commission Regulation (EC) No 255/2005 (4). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (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 the preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 25541) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and for laying hens and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for the authorisation for use for pigs for fattening, minor poultry and porcine species requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’. The 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 opinions of 11 July 2013 (5) and 25 January 2017 (6) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 25541) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the use of that preparation has the potential to be efficacious in improving zootechnical parameters in chickens for fattening, laying hens and pigs for fattening. The Authority further considered that the mode of action of the enzymes present in the additive can be considered to be similar in minor poultry species and minor porcine species, therefore the conclusions on the efficacy in chickens for fattening, laying hens and in pigs for fattening can be extrapolated to minor poultry species and minor porcine species for fattening. 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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (5)

                  The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus niger (NRRL 25541) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (6)

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

                  (7)

                  Regulation (EC) No 255/2005 should be amended accordingly. Regulation (EC) No 668/2003 should be repealed.

                  (8)

                  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) 2016/911
   of 9 June 2016
   laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the form and the content of the description of group financial support agreements in accordance with Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and amending Council Directive 82/891/EEC, and Directives 2001/24/EC, 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2005/56/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2011/35/EU, 2012/30/EU and 2013/36/EU, and Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 648/2012, of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 26(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Chapter III — Title II of Directive 2014/59/EU sets rules for group financial support agreements to provide financial support among a Union parent institution, or an entity referred to in point (b), (c) or (d) of Article 1(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU and its subsidiaries in other Member States or third countries that are institutions or financial institutions covered by the consolidated supervision of the parent undertaking, provided that the entity receiving the support meets the conditions for early intervention. This allows transfers of funding in a situation where a group entity is in severe distress. To make informed investment decisions, creditors and investors need transparency regarding risks and potential obligations resulting from these agreements and the chances of a recovery of the group resulting from the support agreement. Therefore the agreement should be in a form easily accessible to the public, comparable to financial statements.

               (2)

               The general terms of the group financial support agreement to be disclosed should include relevant information, such as the maximum amount of support, the principles for calculation of the consideration for the provision of the support, a general description of the maturity profile and the maximum term of loans provided as support. However, the disclosure should respect the need for confidentiality of more specific information.

               (3)

               This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority to the Commission.

               (4)

               The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Form of disclosure
   Each institution that is a party to a group financial support agreement entered into pursuant Article 19 of Directive 2014/59/EU shall make disclosures in accordance with Article 2 of this Regulation on its website in a form that ensures accessibility to the public.
   To the extent the institution discloses financial statements of the group the disclosure shall be made in the same form as established for the non-quantitative information included in the financial statements.
   Article 2
   Terms to be disclosed
   1.   Institutions shall disclose at least the following information:

               (a)

               (b)

               the form the support may take;

               (e)

               to which extent obligations to provide group financial support and entitlement to receive group financial support of each of the parties to the group financial support agreement are reciprocal; if the agreement is not fully reciprocal, the information shall differentiate between the different parties following the different terms of agreement;

               (f)

               the limitations of the group financial support for each form of support covered by the financial support agreement;

               (g)

               the principles for calculation of the consideration for the provision of the group financial support and how they relate to market conditions at the time of the support;

               (h)

               a general description of the seniority, the maturity profile and the maximum term of any loans provided as support;

               (i)

               a general description of any further repayment obligations;

               (j)

               a general description of the circumstances or indicators relating to the receiving entity and the providing entity that trigger the provision of the support;

               (k)

   Information that is not applicable shall be indicated as ‘non-applicable’.
   2.   The disclosure shall be accompanied by a statement that the provision of the financial support is subject to the conditions under Article 23 of Directive 2014/59/EU and to the right of the competent authority to prohibit or restrict the provision pursuant to Article 25 of Directive 2014/59/EU.
   Article 3
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
