         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1238
   of 7 July 2017
   making imports of certain corrosion resistant steels originating in the People's Republic of China subject to registration
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 14(5) thereof,
   After informing the Member States,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 9 December 2016, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain corrosion resistant steels originating in the People's Republic of China (‘China’) following a complaint lodged on 25 October 2016 by EUROFER (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain corrosion resistant steels.

         1.   PRODUCT CONCERNED

               (2)

               The product under investigation is certain corrosion resistant steels (‘CRS’) originating in the People's Republic of China.

               (3)

               CRS consist in flat-rolled products of iron or alloy steel or non-alloy steel; aluminium killed; plated or coated by hot dip galvanisation with zinc and/or with aluminium, and no other metal; chemically passivated; containing by weight: 0,015 % or more but not more than 0,170 % of carbon, 0,015 % or more but not more than 0,100 % of aluminium, not more than 0,045 % of niobium, not more than 0,010 % of titanium and not more than 0,010 % of vanadium; presented in coils, cut-to-length sheets and narrow strips.
               The following products are excluded:

                           —

                           those of stainless steel, of silicon-electrical steel, and of high-speed steel;

                           —

                           those not further worked than hot-rolled or cold-rolled (cold-reduced).

               (4)

               The product concerned currently falls within the following CN codes ex 7210 41 00, ex 7210 49 00, ex 7210 61 00, ex 7210 69 00, ex 7212 30 00, ex 7212 50 61, ex 7212 50 69, ex 7225 92 00, ex 7225 99 00, ex 7226 99 30 and ex 7226 99 70 (TARIC codes: 7210410020, 7210490020, 7210610020, 7210690020, 7212300020, 7212506120, 7212506920, 7225920020, 7225990022, 7225990035, 7225990092, 7226993010, 7226997094).

         2.   REQUEST

               (5)

               The registration request pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation was made by the complainant on 24 May 2017. The complainant requested that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.

         3.   GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION

               (6)

               According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry, which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.

               (7)

               The complainant claims that registration is justified as the product concerned continues to be dumped and that importers were well aware of dumping practices which stretched over an extended period of time and were causing injury to the Union industry. The complainant further claims that Chinese imports are causing injury to the Union industry and that there was a substantial increase in the level of these imports, even following the investigation period, which would seriously undermine the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty, if such a duty is to be applied.

               (8)

               The Commission considers that the importers were indeed aware, or should have been aware of the exporters' dumping practices. Sufficient prima facie evidence in this regard was contained in the complaint and this was spelled out in the notice of initiation for this proceeding (3). The non-confidential version of the complaint estimated dumping margins of 50 % for Chinese imports. The evidence of dumping in the complaint is based on a comparison between the normal values, based on the pricing information of a producer in Canada chosen as an analogue country, and export price (at ex-works level) of the product concerned when sold for export to the Union. The Chinese export price was determined on the basis of information quoted by Chinese exporting producers in the Union market from August 2012 to April 2016.

               (9)

               Given the extent of the dumping that may be occurring, it is reasonable to assume that the importers would be aware, or should have been aware, of the situation.

               (10)

               In addition, the complainant provided in both the complaint and the request for registration sufficient evidence in form of press releases in which the dumping practices by Chinese exporters are described and which prima facie could and should not have been ignored by importers. The review request also referred to trade defence measures including anti-dumping currently applicable in third countries.

               (11)

               Since the initiation of the proceeding in December 2016, a further increase of over 50 % is observed when comparing the average monthly volumes imported during the period October 2015 to September 2016 (i.e. the investigation period) with the period January to April 2017 (i.e. the period following the initiation). Additional prima facie evidence demonstrated increases in market share and stockpiling.

               (12)

               Furthermore, in the complaint there is sufficient prima facie evidence that injury is being caused, and in the submissions made in the framework of the investigation, including the registration request, there is evidence that additional injury would be caused by a continued rise in these imports. In light of the timing, the increase in volume of the dumped imports and other circumstances (such as the excess capacity in China and pricing behaviour of the Chinese exporters which are demonstrated in the original complaint) would likely seriously undermine the remedial effect of any definitive duties, unless such duties would be applied retroactively. In addition, in view of the initiation of the current proceeding and taking into account the developments of Chinese imports in terms of prices and volumes hitherto, it is reasonable to assume that the level of imports of the product concerned may further increase prior to the adoption of provisional measures, if any, and inventories may be rapidly built up by the importers.

         4.   PROCEDURE

               (13)

               In view of the above, the Commission has concluded that the complainant provided sufficient prima facie evidence to justify making imports of the product concerned subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.

               (14)

               All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.

         5.   REGISTRATION

               (15)

               Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration for the purpose of ensuring that, should the investigation result in findings leading to the imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively on the registered imports in accordance with Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation.

               (16)

               The complainant estimates in the complaint an average dumping margin of approximately 50 % and an average underselling margin of 37,8 % - 41,0 % for the product concerned. The estimated amount of possible future liability is set for China at the level of underselling estimated on the basis of the complaint, i.e. from 37,8 % to 41,0 % on the CIF import value of the product concerned.

         6.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

               (17)

               Any personal data collected in the context of this registration will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 311/2014
   of 25 March 2014
   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.

                  (2)

                  (3)

                              1.

                              A machine with sound reproducing and editing functions in a housing with dimensions of approximately 43 × 15 × 8 cm.
                              It is equipped with a CD reader and an audio output. It has knobs, push-buttons, sliders and a small liquid crystal display (LCD) indicator.
                              The machine is capable of editing sound: it is equipped with seamless loop points, stutter starts, a beats per minute (BPM) counter and a fader.
                              The machine is intended to be used for sound reproducing and editing in a non-professional environment.

                  8519 81 35

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8519, 8519 81 and 8519 81 35.
                  As the machine is designed for the purpose of performing two alternative functions (sound reproducing function and sound editing function), it is to be classified, by virtue of note 3 to Section XVI, as being that machine which performs the principal function.
                  Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of only one input possibility for sound files (the CD reader) and the limited editing capability, the sound reproducing function is the machine's principal function.
                  The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8519 81 35 as other sound recording or sound reproducing apparatus with laser reading system.

                              2.

                              A machine with sound reproducing and editing/mixing functions (so-called ‘disc jockey multi player’) in a housing with dimensions of approximately 40 × 32 × 10 cm.
                              It is equipped with a CD reader and has various interfaces (USB, audio outputs, SD card reader). It has knobs, push-buttons, sliders and a 6,1 inches liquid crystal display (LCD) indicator.
                              The machine is capable of editing and mixing sound. For those purposes it is, inter alia, equipped with:

                                          —

                                          an auto beats per minute (BPM) counter;

                                          —

                                          a fader start and back cue;

                                          —

                                          a track hot cue;

                                          —

                                          a loop;

                                          —

                                          a 4 beat loop;

                                          —

                                          cue point setting.

                                    The machine is intended to be used by professional disc-jockeys for reproducing, editing and mixing sound.
                              The sound files that are reproduced, edited and mixed can come from various sources (CD-reader, automatic data-processing (ADP) machine, USB memory or SD card).
                              The machine can operate stand-alone or in conjunction with an ADP machine.

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8543, 8543 70 and 8543 70 90.
                  As the machine is designed for the purpose of performing two alternative functions (sound reproducing function and sound editing/mixing function), it is to be classified, by virtue of note 3 to Section XVI, as being that machine which performs the principal function.
                  Due to its objective characteristics, namely the number of technical features for editing and mixing sound, the possibility to mix sound files originating from various sources, the design and conception of the machine, the sound editing /mixing function is the machine's principal function. Consequently, classification under heading 8519 is excluded.
                  The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90 as other machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 102/2013
   of 4 February 2013
   amending Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the entry for the United States in the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction of live ungulates into the Union, the model veterinary certificate ‘POR-X’ and the protocols for testing for vesicular stomatitis
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (1), and in particular the first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(1), the first subparagraph of Article 6(1), Article 7(e), Article 9 and Article 13(1)(e) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 2004/68/EC lays down the animal health requirements for the importation into and transit through the Union of certain live ungulates. It provides that specific provisions, including model veterinary certificates, may be laid down for the import into the Union of live ungulates of the species listed in Annex I thereto from authorised third countries.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (2) lays down amongst others the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of live cloven-hoofed animals of the species listed in Annex I to Directive 2004/68/EC. Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 sets out a list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which such consignments may be introduced into the Union. It also provides models of veterinary certificates to accompany those consignments.

               (3)

               Currently, ungulates can only be imported into the Union from third countries, or in case of regionalisation parts of third countries, that are free of vesicular stomatitis for at least six months prior to dispatch of the animals.

               (4)

               The United States requested to be authorised for imports into the Union of live pigs for breeding and production.

               (5)

               Outbreaks of vesicular stomatitis have been notified by the United States. However those outbreaks are sporadic and limited to certain areas. The risk of introduction into the Union of vesicular stomatitis via imports of live pigs from that third country is negligible, if the biosecurity measures which are described in Chapter 8.15.6 of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) are applied including confinement of the pigs during the pre-export residence period in premises free of the disease, vector protection during pre-export quarantine and transport to the place of loading and testing of all animals to be exported.

               (6)

               Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended to add the United States to the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which consignments of live ungulates may be introduced into the Union indicating the appropriate guarantees as regards testing for vesicular stomatitis. The implementation of those guarantees should be confirmed in the veterinary certificate for live pigs for breeding and production accompanying the animals at the time of introduction into the Union.

               (7)

               The model veterinary certificate for the import of live domestic porcine animals, ‘POR-X’, set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, should therefore be amended accordingly to introduce the conditions for pre-export residence and quarantine as well as the laboratory test requirements.

               (8)

               In addition, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 provides that where sampling and testing is required by the veterinary certificates set out in Annex I to that Regulation, they are to be carried out in conformity with the protocols for the standardisation of materials and testing procedures set out in Part 6 of that Annex. It is therefore necessary to amend Part 6 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 in order to add the relevant protocol and testing procedure for vesicular stomatitis. The test should be carried out and interpreted in accordance with the protocols for serological tests for vesicular stomatitis prescribed for international trade in Chapter 2.1.19 of the OIE Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals.

               (9)

               Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

                  (1)

                  By Decision (EU) 2017/75 (2) (‘the Decision’), the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union and its Member States, of the Protocol (‘the Protocol’) to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), to take account of the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union. Pursuant to this Decision the Protocol was applied on a provisional basis, from 1 February 2017 (3).

                  (2)

                  In Article 3, the Protocol stipulates that Union concessions for certain fish and fishery products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina are to be granted according to Annex II to the Protocol. Therefore, the tariff quota volumes for trout, carp and anchovies should be increased by 440, 10 and 20 tonnes accordingly.

                  (3)

                  The Union tariff quotas should be applied in full for the year 2017, as stipulated in Annex II to the Protocol.

                  (4)

                  The tariff quotas set out in Annex II to the Protocol should be managed by the Commission on the basis of the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations for release for free circulation in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (4).

                  (5)

                  Commission Regulation (EU) No 354/2011 (5) should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (6)

                  In order to ensure the quota system under the Protocol is applied and managed smoothly, this Regulation should apply from the same date as that of the provisional application of the Protocol.

                  (7)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1035/2014
   of 25 September 2014
   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 658/87, 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 issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of 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.
      Done at Brussels, 25 September 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Heinz ZOUREK

            Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                              1.

                              A turbine wheel of a nickel-based alloy comprising radially arranged blades and a central hub to be placed on the shaft of an exhaust-gas turbocharger.
                              The wheel is the component of a turbine which transforms the energy of the incoming motor exhaust-gas into a rotational movement for driving the compressor wheel of the turbocharger.

                      (1) See image 1

                  8411 99 00

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8411 and 8411 99 00.
                  Classification under heading 8414 as parts of compressors is excluded as the turbine wheel is a part suitable for use solely or principally with an exhaust-gas turbine of heading 8411 (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8414, exclusion (a), and the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature (CNEN) to subheading 8414 90 00).
                  The turbine wheel is therefore to be classified under CN code 8411 99 00 as parts of gas turbines.

                              2.

                              A turbine housing of base metal consisting of a cavity for the turbine wheel, an opening for the inlet exhaust-gas pipe and an opening for the outlet exhaust-gas pipe.
                              The housing is the component of a turbine which contains the turbine wheel enabling it to transform the incoming motor exhaust-gas energy into a rotational movement for driving the compressor wheel of the turbocharger.

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8411 and 8411 99 00.
                  Classification under heading 8414 as parts of compressors is excluded as the turbine housing is a part suitable for use solely or principally with an exhaust-gas turbine of heading 8411 (see also the HSEN to heading 8414, exclusion (a), and the CNEN to subheading 8414 90 00).
                  The turbine housing is therefore to be classified under CN code 8411 99 00 as parts of gas turbines.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1034/2013
   of 24 October 2013
   approving aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product type 20
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes aluminium phosphide.

               (2)

               Aluminium phosphide has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 23, products for the control of other vertebrates, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 20 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Germany was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 23 July 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

               (4)

               The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 27 September 2013, in an assessment report.

               (5)

               It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 23 and containing aluminium phosphide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine for use in biocidal products for product-type 20.

               (7)

               Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (8)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 20, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
   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 product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.
                  Authorisations are subject to the following conditions:

                              (1)

                              Products shall only be sold to and used by specifically trained professionals.

                              In view of the risks identified for operators, appropriate risk mitigation measures must be applied. These include, amongst others, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, the use of applicators and the presentation of the product in a form designed to reduce operator exposure to an acceptable level.

                              (3)

                              In view of the risks identified for terrestrial non-target species, appropriate risk reduction measures must be applied. These include, amongst others, the non-treatment of areas where other burrowing mammals than the target species are present.

         (1)  The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.
