         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1295
         of 26 September 2018
         approving the basic substance Onion oil 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 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     On 12 December 2016 the Commission received an application from Bionext, for the approval of Onion oil as a basic substance. That application was later completed by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

                     (2)

                     The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority provided the Commission with a technical report on Onion oil on 31 October 2017 (2).

                     (3)

                     The Commission presented the draft review report (3) on 25 May 2018 and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 19 July 2018 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 20 July 2018.

                     (4)

                     The documentation provided by the applicant shows that Onion oil fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance. Consequently, it is to be considered as a basic substance.

                     (5)

                     It has appeared from the examinations made that Onion oil may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Onion oil as a basic substance.

                     (6)

                     In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions for the approval which are detailed in Annex I to this Regulation.

                     (7)

                     In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) should be amended accordingly.

                     (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:

            Article 1
            Approval of a basic substance
            The substance Onion oil is approved as a basic substance as laid down in Annex I.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1517
         of 11 October 2018
         laying down detailed rules implementing certain provisions of Council Regulation (EU) 2018/581 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain goods of a kind to be incorporated in or used for aircraft
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU),
         Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2018/581 of 16 April 2018 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain goods of a kind to be incorporated in or used for aircraft (1), and in particular Article 1(1) and (2) and Article 2(1) and (2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     The suspension of customs duties laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/581 applies only to certain goods to be incorporated or used in aircraft and parts thereof. The Commission is required to establish a list of those goods by reference to their Combined Nomenclature codes.

                     (2)

                     For goods to benefit from the suspension of autonomous common customs tariff duties laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/581, it is a condition that a certain type-certificate such as a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Form 1 authorised release certificate or an equivalent is made available to the customs authorities. EASA has concluded bilateral aviation safety agreements or technical working arrangements with certain third countries issuing such types of certificates. It is, therefore, appropriate to consider certificates issued by those countries equivalent to EASA Form 1.

                     (3)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            The list of headings, subheadings and codes of the Combined Nomenclature, as set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2) of goods which benefit from the duty suspension laid down in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/581 is laid down in Annex I to this Regulation.

            Article 2
            The list of certificates which are deemed to be equivalent to authorised release certificates EASA Form 1, as referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/581 is laid down in Annex II to this Regulation.

            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.
