         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2063
   of 17 November 2015
   on the granting of unlimited duty-free access to the Union for 2016 to certain goods originating in Norway resulting from the processing of agricultural products covered by Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 1216/2009 and (EC) No 614/2009 (1), and in particular Article 16(1)(a) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2004/859/EC of 25 October 2004 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973 (3) (‘the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway’) and Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement (4) determine the trade arrangements for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties.

               (2)

               Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement provides for a zero rate of duty for waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00, and other non-alcoholic beverages, not containing products of headings 0401 to 0404 or fat obtained from products of headings 0401 to 0404, classified under CN code 2202 90 10.

               (3)

               The zero rate of duty for those waters and those other beverages has temporarily, for an unlimited period of time, been suspended for Norway by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’) approved by Decision 2004/859/EC. In accordance with the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, duty-free imports of goods with CN codes 2202 10 00 and ex 2202 90 10 that originate in Norway are to be allowed only within the limits of a duty-free quota. A duty is to be paid for imports that exceed the quota allocation.

               (4)

               Furthermore, the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters requires that the products in question be granted unlimited duty-free access to the Union if the tariff quota has not been exhausted by 31 October of the previous year. According to data provided to the Commission, the annual quota for 2015 for the waters and beverages in question opened by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1130/2014 (6) had not been exhausted by 31 October 2015. Therefore, the products in question should be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union from 1 January to 31 December 2016.

               (5)

               Therefore the temporary suspension of the duty free regime applied under Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway shall not be applied for year 2016.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   From 1 January to 31 December 2016, the goods classified under CN codes 2202 10 00 (waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured) and ex 2202 90 11, ex 2202 90 15 and ex 2202 90 19 (other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar (sucrose or invert sugar) — TARIC subdivisions 11 and 19) originating in Norway shall be granted unlimited duty free access to the Union.
   2.   The rules of origin applicable to the goods referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those set out in Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway of 14 May 1973.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2016.

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

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 952/2011 of 23 September 2011 on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the September 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 952/2011
   of 23 September 2011
   on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the September 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98
   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 (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to that Regulation.

               (2)

               September is the fourth subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98, the third subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(d) and the first subperiod for the quota laid down in Article 1(1)(e).

               (3)

               The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4112 – 09.4168, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas in question.

               (4)

               It is also clear from the notifications that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4130 – 09.4116 – 09.4117 – 09.4118, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity less than that available.

               (5)

               The quantities not used for the September subperiod of the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4130 are transferred to the quota bearing the order number 09.4138 for the following subperiod under Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.

               (6)

               The total quantities available for the following subperiod should therefore be fixed for the quotas with order numbers 09.4138 and 09.4168, in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.

               (7)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, the present Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with order numbers 09.4112 – 09.4168 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011, licences shall be issued for the quantities requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   The total quantities available under the quotas with order numbers 09.4138 and 09.4168 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 for the following subperiod are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/360
   of 5 March 2015
   opening private storage for pigmeat and fixing in advance the amount of aid
   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 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 18(2), Article 20(c), (k), (l), (m) and (n) and Article 223(3)(c) thereof.
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 of 16 December 2013 determining measures on fixing certain aids and refunds related to the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (2) and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point (h) of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides for the possibility to grant private storage aid for pigmeat.

               (2)

               Average recorded Union market prices have been below the reference threshold as laid down in point (f) of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for more than 18 consecutive weeks and have significant negative impact on the margins in the pig sector. The persisting difficult market situation compromises the financial stability of many farms. The temporary removal of pigmeat from the market seems necessary in order to re-establish market balance and increase of prices. Therefore, it is appropriate to grant aid for private storage for pigmeat and to fix the amount of aid in advance.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 (3) has established common rules for the implementation of private storage aid schemes.

               (4)

               Pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, aid fixed in advance is to be granted in accordance with the detailed rules and conditions provided for in Chapter III of that Regulation.

               (5)

               In order to facilitate the management of the measure, the pigmeat products should be classified in categories according to similarities with regard to the level of storage cost.

               (6)

               In order to facilitate the administrative and control work relating to the conclusion of contracts, the minimum quantities of products to be covered by each application should be fixed.

               (7)

               A security should be fixed in order to ensure the operators fulfil their contractual obligations and that the measure will have its desired effect on the market.

               (8)

               Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 provides for the information that the Member States have to notify to the Commission. It is appropriate to lay down some specific rules on the frequency of the notifications as regards the quantities applied for within the framework of this Regulation.

               (9)

               The Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

      laying down implementing technical standards with regard to procedures and forms for submitting information on sanctions and measures in accordance with Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (1), and in particular Article 71(7) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  It is appropriate to set out common procedures and forms for competent authorities to submit information to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on sanctions and measures referred to in Article 71 of Directive 2014/65/EU.

                  (2)

                  In order to facilitate the communication between competent authorities and ESMA and avoid unnecessary delays or failed submissions, each competent authority should designate a contact point specifically for the purpose of communication on sanctions and measures.

                  (3)

                  To ensure that all required information concerning sanctions and measures imposed by competent authorities is correctly identified and registered by ESMA, competent authorities should provide detailed and harmonised information using specific forms to that purpose.

                  (4)

                  With a view to including meaningful information in the annual report on sanctions and measures to be published by ESMA in accordance with Article 71 of Directive 2014/65/EU, competent authorities should report the information by using specific forms clearly indicating the provisions of Directive 2014/65/EU, as transposed in their national legislation, that were infringed.

                  (5)

                  For reasons of consistency and in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the financial markets, it is necessary that the provisions laid down in this Regulation and the related national provisions transposing Directive 2014/65/EU apply from the same date.

                  (6)

                  This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by ESMA to the Commission.

                  (7)

                  ESMA did not conduct open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, nor did it analyse potential related costs and benefits of introducing the standard forms and procedures for the relevant competent authorities, as this would have been disproportionate in relation to their scope and impact, taking into account that the addressees of the implementing technical standards would only be the national competent authorities of the Member States and not market participants.

                  (8)

                  ESMA has requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

      Where Member States have in accordance with Article 70 of Directive 2014/65/EU laid down criminal sanctions for the infringements referred to in that Article, competent authorities shall provide ESMA with the data referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 71(4) of Directive 2014/65/EU by filling in the form set out in Annex III to this Regulation.

      of 27 June 2017
      amending Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 as regards opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat
      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 point (a) of Article 187 thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  An Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Federative Republic of Brazil pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedule of the Republic of Croatia in the course of its accession to the European Union (2) (‘the Agreement’) was signed on 25 November 2016. Its signature on behalf of the European Union was authorised by Council Decision (EU) 2016/1995 (3) and its conclusion by Council Decision (EU) 2017/730 (4).

                  (2)

                  Under the terms of the Agreement, the European Union is to allocate an additional 4 766 tonnes to the present allocation for Brazil under the EU tariff rate quota ‘Cut of fowls of the species gallus domesticus, frozen’, tariff item numbers 0207.14.10, 0207.14.50 and 0207.14.70, maintaining the present in quota rate of 0 %, and to allocate an additional 610 tonnes to the present allocation for Brazil under the EU tariff rate quota ‘Cut of turkey, frozen’, tariff item numbers 0207.27.10, 0207.27.20 and 0207.27.80, maintaining the present in quota rate of 0 %.

                  (3)

                  Commission Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 (5) provides for the opening and administration of certain EU import tariff quotas for poultrymeat, including from Brazil. It is appropriate to amend that regulation to take account of the additional quantities allocated under the Agreement.

                  (4)

                  For 2017 the additional quantities of poultrymeat are calculated on a pro rata basis, based on the additional annual quantity under the Agreement and taking into account the date of the entry into force of the Agreement.

                  (5)

                  The Agreement enters into force on 30 June 2017. Given that the poultrymeat quotas concerned by the Agreement are administered on a quarterly basis and that the application period for the quarter commencing 1 July 2017 would have expired at the time of entry into force of the Agreement, the additional quantities under the Agreement for 2017 should be made available for application in the subperiod commencing 1 October 2017.

                  (6)

                  As from the quota period commencing 1 January 2018 the full annual additional quantities of poultrymeat under the Agreement should be available.

                  (7)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1220
   of 24 July 2015
   amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entry for the United States in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which certain poultry commodities may be imported into or transit through the Union in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza following recent outbreaks in the States of Indiana and Nebraska
   (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 the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1), 24(2) and 25(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’). It provides that the commodities may only be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the conditions for a third country, territory, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

               (3)

               The United States is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of the commodities covered by that Regulation are authorised from certain parts of its territory depending on the presence of HPAI outbreaks. That regionalisation was recognised by Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, as amended by Implementing Regulations (EU) 2015/243 (4), (EU) 2015/342 (5), (EU) 2015/526 (6), (EU) 2015/796 (7) and lastly by (EU) 2015/1153 (8) following outbreaks of HPAI in the States of Missouri, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

               (4)

               An Agreement between the Union and the United States (9) provides for a swift mutual recognition of regionalisation measures in the event of outbreaks of a disease in the Union or in the United States (‘the Agreement’).

               (5)

               The United States has confirmed outbreaks of HPAI of subtype H5 in poultry flocks in two additional States, namely Indiana and Nebraska. Following those outbreaks, the veterinary authorities of the United States immediately suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of poultry commodities intended for export to the Union from the entire territory of those two States. The United States has also implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control HPAI and limit its spread.

               (6)

               The United States has further submitted updated information on the epidemiological situation on its territory and the measures it has taken to prevent the further spread of HPAI which has now been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, as well as the commitments laid down in the Agreement and the guarantees provided by the United States, it is appropriate to modify the prohibition on the introduction into the Union of certain commodities to cover the entire States of Indiana and Nebraska and parts of Wisconsin and Missouri, which the veterinary authorities of the United States have placed under restrictions due to the current outbreaks.

               (7)

               In addition, the United States has reported the completion of cleaning and disinfection measures following the stamping-out of poultry on holdings in the State of Wisconsin where HPAI outbreaks were detected during April and May 2015. It is therefore appropriate to indicate the dates when the affected areas in that State that were placed under veterinary restrictions in relation to those outbreaks, may again be considered free of HPAI and imports into the Union of certain poultry commodities originating from those areas should be re-authorised.

               (8)

               The entry for the United States in the list in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended to take account of the current epidemiological situation in that third country.

               (9)

               Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               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
   Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.
