         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1113
   of 22 June 2017
   renewing the approval of the active substance benzoic acid in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   (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 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 Article 20(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Directive 2004/30/EC (2) included benzoic acid as an active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3).

               (2)

               Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4)

               (3)

               The approval of the active substance benzoic acid, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 January 2018.

               (4)

               An application for the renewal of the approval of benzoic acid was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article.

               (5)

               The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

               (6)

               The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 4 January 2016.

               (7)

               The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

               (8)

               On 30 November 2016 the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether benzoic acid can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft renewal report for benzoic acid to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 24 January 2017.

               (9)

               The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the renewal report.

               (10)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing benzoic acid that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied.

               (11)

               It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of benzoic acid.

               (12)

               The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of benzoic acid is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing benzoic acid may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate not to maintain the restriction for use only as a disinfectant.

               (13)

               In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, however, it is necessary to include certain conditions.

               (14)

               In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (15)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2016 (7) extended the approval period of benzoic acid to 31 January 2018 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. However, given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of this extended expiry date, this Regulation should apply from 1 September 2017.

               (16)

               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:
   Article 1
   Renewal of the approval of active substance
   The approval of the active substance benzoic acid, as specified in Annex I, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
   Article 3
   Entry into force and date of application
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 September 2017.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1206
   of 23 July 2015
   terminating the anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the People's Republic of China and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1331/2014 making imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan 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 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Articles 14 and 24 thereof,
   Whereas:
   1.   PROCEDURE

   1.1.   Initiation

               (1)

               On 14 August 2014 the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2) (‘the Notice of initiation’), the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding with regard to imports into the Union of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the anti-subsidy proceeding’).

               (2)

               The anti-subsidy proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged on 1 July 2014 by Eurofer (‘the complainant’) on behalf of Union producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products.

               (3)

               The complaint contained prima facie evidence of subsidisation of the said product and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.

               (4)

               The Commission officially advised the complainant, other known Union producers, the known exporting producers in the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’), the authorities in the PRC, known importers, suppliers and users, traders, as well as associations known to be concerned about the initiation of the investigation and invited them to participate. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the Notice of initiation.

         1.2.   Parallel anti-dumping proceeding

               (5)

               On 26 June 2014 the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the PRC and Taiwan pursuant to Article 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (4) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’).

               (6)

               On 24 March 2015 the Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/501 (5) imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the PRC and Taiwan. The investigation is ongoing.

         1.3.   Registration

               (7)

               Following a request by the complainant supported by the required evidence, the Commission adopted on 15 December 2014 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1331/2014 (6) making imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the PRC and Taiwan subject to registration as of 17 December 2014.

               (8)

               The registration of imports for the purpose of the parallel anti-dumping investigation was discontinued by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/501. The registration of imports for the purpose of the anti-subsidy proceeding continued.

         2.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING

               (9)

               By letter of 11 May 2015 addressed to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 14(1) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, when the complainant withdraws its complaint, the proceeding may be terminated unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.

               (11)

               The Commission considered that the present anti-subsidy proceeding should be terminated since the respective investigation had not brought to light any consideration showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given an opportunity to comment. The Commission received no comments which would lead to the conclusion that such termination would not be in the Union interest.

               (12)

               The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Union of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the PRC should be terminated without the imposition of measures.

         3.   REPEAL OF IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1331/2014

               (13)

               In view of the above, the registration of imports for the purpose of the anti-subsidy investigation in accordance with Article 24(5) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation should be discontinued. Therefore, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1331/2014 should be repealed.

               (14)

               This Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   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 188 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products originating in Brazil, Thailand and other third countries.

               (2)

               The quantities on which applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 October 2015 for the sub-period from 1 January to 31 March 2016 are based relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).

               (3)

               The quantities on which applications for import rights lodged from to 1 to 7 October 2015 for the sub-period from 1 January to 31 March 2016 are based relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import rights may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 6(3) in conjunction with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.

               (4)

               The quantities on which applications for import licences and import rights lodged from 1 to 7 October 2015 for the sub-period from 1 January to 31 March 2016 are based relate, for some quotas, to quantities less than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined, and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota sub-period.

               (5)

               In order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
