         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1277/2014
   of 1 December 2014
   amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010, as regards the substance ‘lasalocid’
   (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 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 the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.

               (2)

               Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).

               (3)

               Lasalocid is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for poultry species, applicable to muscle, skin and fat, liver, kidney and eggs, and for bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption.

               (4)

               An application for the amendment of the existing entry for lasalocid has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.

               (5)

               Additional data on lasalocid was provided and assessed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use. As a result that Committee recommended the amendment of the current acceptable daily intake for lasalocid, as well as the amendment of the existing MRL for lasalocid in poultry.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

               (7)

               The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.

               (8)

               The entry for lasalocid in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.

               (10)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

   It shall apply from 20 February 2015.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 265/2014
   of 14 March 2014
   amending Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 180 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with the list of concessions annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, as concluded by the Council by Decision 94/800/EC (2), the European Union is committed to establishing import duty for certain cereals at a level so that the duty-paid import price will not be greater than the effective intervention price increased by 55 %.

               (2)

               With a view to acting on that commitment, Article 136 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (3) requires in particular for import duty on certain cereals to be equal to the intervention price valid for those cereals on importation increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (4) establishes detailed rules for the implementation of that Article.

               (3)

               Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, which repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, does not contain a provision similar to Article 136 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. As regards the calculation of import duties for agricultural products, Article 180 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 enables the Commission to adopt implementing acts setting out measures to comply with requirements laid down, inter alia, in international agreements which have been concluded in accordance with the TFEU.

               (4)

               In order to respect the Union’s international commitments, a method for calculating import duty which is consistent with the list of concessions by the European Union should be included in Regulation (EU) No 642/2010.

               (5)

               Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 provides for the fixing of import duties on the 15th and last working days of each month, to apply to the following 15-day period and also for a possible adjustment during each of the periods of application. In order to simplify the current method, the principle of the automatic fixing of duties applicable to the start of each 15-day period should be abandoned and only take place if the result of the calculation differs from a specific amount compared to the result which gave rise to the previous fixing or if the result of the fixing is once again nil.

               (6)

               In order to avoid speculation and to ensure that the measure is managed efficiently, it should be stipulated that the fixing of import duties should apply from the date of publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (7)

               The first subparagraph of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 states that for fixing and adjustments, the daily import duties used for the previous period must not be taken into account. The number of days used therefore varies gradually in line with trends in the 15-day period of application. In order to provide that a constant number of days is chosen equal to 10 working days, this provision should be removed.

               (8)

               The second subparagraph of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 provides that the intervention price to be used for calculating duties must be the price applicable during the month in which the import duty applies. Given that monthly increases in the intervention price have not applied since the 2009/10 marketing year for durum wheat and since the 2010/11 marketing year for common wheat, barley, maize and sorghum and the intervention price to be used is fixed, this provision should be amended.

               (9)

               The second subparagraph of Article 2(3) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 states that import duties must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union on the occasion of each fixing or adjustment. Given that adjustments are to be discontinued, this provision should be amended.

               (10)

               Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 requires the representative cif import prices for durum wheat to be based in particular on the reference exchange stipulated under Annex III to the Regulation, namely the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Due to the change in United States durum wheat production on the world market, this exchange no longer provides a representative and reliable estimate of the durum wheat market. Furthermore, the other sources of information on the world durum wheat market are now too few or too unreliable to provide a basis for setting import duties for this product. Finally, the available sources indicate that prices for high quality durum wheat and high quality common wheat exported to the United States are following similar trends. Consequently, the duty calculated for high quality common wheat should be applied to high quality durum wheat. Moreover, for medium and low quality durum wheat, discounts linked to meal quality should also be applied.

               (11)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (5) provided for amendments to be made to the CN codes for cereals with effect from 1 January 2012. The references to the CN codes contained in Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 must therefore be changed in line with those amendments.

               (12)

               Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (13)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Article 1 is replaced by the following:
               ‘Article 1
               1.   Notwithstanding the rates of import duty in the Common Customs Tariff, the import duty on products falling within CN codes 1001 11 00, 1001 19 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high-quality common wheat other than seed), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 shall 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 conventional rate of duty as determined on the basis of the Combined Nomenclature.
               2.   For the purposes of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1, representative cif import prices shall be established on a regular basis for the products referred to in that paragraph.
               3.   The Common Customs Tariff duty rates referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those applicable on the date stipulated under Article 112 of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

               (2)

               Article 2 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be replaced by the following:
                           ‘1.   The import duty referred to in Article 1(1) shall be calculated daily by the Commission.
                           The intervention price to be used for the calculation of import duty shall be EUR 101,31 per tonne.

   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,

               (4)

               Consequently, it is appropriate to withdraw the approval of Z,Z,Z,Z-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate.

               (5)

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

               (6)

               Member States should be provided with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing Z,Z,Z,Z-7,13,16,19-docosatetraen-1-yl isobutyrate.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 279/2013
   of 19 March 2013
   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 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, 19 March 2013.

            For the Commission, On behalf of the President,
         Algirdas ŠEMETA

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A flexible tube made of polyamide with a transparent tail end, reinforced inside with a fine wire braiding which is an integral part of the tube. The tube is 125,5 cm long and has an outside diameter of 2,8 mm.
                  The tube is not sterilised upon presentation. It is presented uncoiled, in a double packaging.
                  The tube is intended to be used by medical professionals to insert a ‘stent’ into the human body. The tube is not left in the body after use.

                  3917 39 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 8 to Chapter 39 and by the wording of CN codes 3917 and 3917 39 00.
                  Given its objective characteristics and properties, the goods meet the terms of heading 3917 and fulfil the requirements of Note 8 to Chapter 39.
                  The intended use of the tube is not inherent to its objective characteristics as, upon presentation, the tube cannot be identified as an instrument or appliance used in medical sciences. Consequently, classification under heading 9018 is excluded.
                  It is therefore to be classified under CN code 3917 39 00 as other tubes of plastics.
