   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1419/2013 concerning the recognition of producer organisations and inter-branch organisations, the extension of the rules of producer organisations and inter-branch organisations and the publication of trigger prices as provided for by Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1184/2006 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 (1), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 20(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 requires Member States to communicate to the Commission any decision to grant or withdraw the recognition of producer organisations and inter-branch organisations.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/396
   of 13 March 2018
   amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
   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)(e) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Combined Nomenclature’ or the ‘CN’), which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               Additional note 10 to Chapter 22 of Part Two of the CN stipulates that for the purposes of subheadings 2206 00 31 and 2206 00 39 fermented beverages, other than those put up in bottles with ‘mushroom’ stoppers held in place by ties or fastenings, with an excess pressure of not less than 1,5 bar, measured at a temperature of 20 °C, are regarded as ‘sparkling’.

               (3)

               Subheading note 1 to Chapter 22 of Part Two of the CN stipulates that for the purposes of subheading 2204 10, the expression ‘sparkling wine’ means wine which, when kept at a temperature of 20 °C in closed containers, has an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar.

               (4)

               Council Directive 92/83/EEC (2) states that ‘other sparkling fermented beverages’, falling not only within headings 2204 and 2205 but also within CN code 2206 00 91, as applicable at the time of the adoption of the Directive (currently CN codes 2206 00 31 and 2206 00 39), have an excess pressure of 3 bar or more.

               (5)

               It cannot be justified, scientifically or otherwise, to have different thresholds as regards the excess pressure for sparkling fermented beverages, regardless of their classification within CN codes 2204, 2205 or 2206.

               (6)

               In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to amend Additional note 10 to Chapter 22 of Part Two of the CN by replacing the existing threshold of ‘not less than 1,5 bar’ by ‘3 bar or more’.

               (7)

               In order to ensure consistency and uniform interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature throughout the Union with regard to the definition of ‘sparkling beverages’, Additional note 10 to Chapter 22 of Part Two of the CN should be amended.

               (8)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Chapter 22 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the second indent of Additional note 10 is replaced by the following:

               ‘—

                  fermented beverages otherwise put up, with an excess pressure of 3 bar or more, measured at a temperature of 20 °C.’.

         Article 2
   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.

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (1), and in particular Articles 22(1), 36(4), 42(2), 47(3), 49(2), 51(4) and 53(7) thereof,

In accordance with Article 22(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 any increases applied by Member States pursuant to that provision are to be taken into account.

               (2)

               For each Member State implementing the single area payment scheme provided for in Chapter 1 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 36(4) of that Regulation for 2018 has to be set by the Commission by deducting from the annual national ceiling set out in Annex II to that Regulation the ceilings fixed in accordance with Articles 42, 47, 49, 51 and 53 of that Regulation. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 36(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, when setting the annual national ceiling for the single area payment scheme, any increases applied by Member States pursuant to that provision are to be taken into account by the Commission.

               (3)

               For each Member State granting the redistributive payment provided for in Chapter 2 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 42(2) of that Regulation for 2018 has to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by those Member States pursuant to Article 42(1) of that Regulation.

               (4)

               In relation to the payment for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment provided for in Chapter 3 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 in 2018, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 47(3) of that Regulation for 2018 have to be calculated in accordance with Article 47(1) of that Regulation and amounting to 30 % of the national ceiling of the relevant Member State as set out in Annex II to that Regulation.

               (5)

               For Member States granting the payment for areas with natural constraints provided for in Chapter 4 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 49(2) of that Regulation for 2018 have to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by the relevant Member States pursuant to Article 49(1) of that Regulation.

               (6)

               In relation to the payment for young farmers provided for in Chapter 5 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 51(4) of that Regulation for 2018 have to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by Member States pursuant to Article 51(1) of that Regulation and have not to be higher than 2 % of the annual ceiling set out in Annex II.

               (7)

               Where the total amount of the payment for young farmers applied for in 2018 in a Member State exceeds the ceiling set pursuant to Article 51(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 for that Member State, the difference has to be financed by the Member State in accordance with Article 51(2) of that Regulation whilst respecting the maximum amount laid down in Article 51(1) of that Regulation. For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to set this maximum amount for each Member State.

               (8)

               For each Member State granting voluntary coupled support provided for in Chapter 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 in 2018, the Commission has to set the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 53(7) of that Regulation for 2018 on the basis of the percentage notified by the relevant Member State pursuant to Article 54(1) of that Regulation.

               (9)

               Concerning the year 2018, the implementation of direct support schemes provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 started on 1 January 2018. For the sake of consistency between the applicability of that Regulation for the claim year 2018 and the applicability of the corresponding budgetary ceilings, this Regulation should apply from the same date.
