         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 297/2011
   of 25 March 2011
   imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station
   (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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53 (1) (b)(ii) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.

               (2)

               Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan such as milk and spinach exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health within the Union and it is therefore appropriate as a precautionary measure to urgently take measures at Union level to ensure the safety of the feed and food, including fish and fishery products, originating in or consigned from Japan. As the accident is not yet under control, it is at this stage appropriate that the required testing before export would apply to feed and food originating from the affected prefectures with a buffer zone and a random testing of feed and food at import originating from the whole territory of Japan.

               (3)

               Maximum levels have been established by Council Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs and of feedingstuffs following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency (2), Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 944/89 of 12 April 1989 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination in minor foodstuffs following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency (3) and Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 770/90 of 29 March 1990 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of feedingstuffs following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency (4).

               (4)

               These maximum levels can be rendered applicable after the Commission is informed of a nuclear accident substantiating that the maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs and feedingstuffs are likely to be reached or have been reached pursuant to Council Decision 87/600/Euratom of 14 December 1987 on Community arrangements for the early exchange of information in the event of radiological emergency (5) or under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Convention on early notification of a nuclear accident of 26 September 1986. In the meantime it is appropriate to use these pre–established maximum levels as reference values to judge the acceptability to place feed and food on the market.

               (5)

               The Japanese authorities have informed the Commission services that appropriate testing is carried out on food products from the affected region exported from Japan.

               (6)

               In addition to the testing carried out by the Japanese authorities, it is appropriate to foresee random controls on such imports.

               (7)

               It is appropriate that Member States inform the Commission of all analytical results through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and the European Union's Urgent Radiological Information Exchange system (ECURIE). The measures will be reviewed on the basis of these analytical results.

               (8)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/675
   of 29 April 2016
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1519 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009
   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 Regulation’), and in particular Article 23(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   A.   PROCEDURE

   1.   Measures in force

               (1)

               By Regulation (EC) No 598/2009 (2) the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of biodiesel as defined in recital 10 below originating in the United States of America.

               (2)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 443/2011 (3), following an anti-circumvention investigation, the Council extended the definitive countervailing duty on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America to imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not (‘extended measures’).

               (3)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 391/2014 (4), following a partial interim review concerning the anti-subsidy measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, as extended to imports consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not, the Council terminated the partial interim review without amending the measures in force as extended.

               (4)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1519 (5), following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed definitive countervailing duty on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America (‘measures in force’).

         B.   REQUEST FOR A REVIEW

               (5)

               The Commission received a request for a partial interim review (‘the review request’) pursuant to Article 19 and Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation.

               (6)

               The review request was lodged by DSM Nutritional Products Canada Inc. (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from Canada, and was limited in scope to the possibility of obtaining an exemption from the extended measures.

               (7)

               In the review request the applicant claimed that it is a genuine producer of the product under review able to produce the entire quantity that it has shipped to the Union since the start of the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation mentioned in recital 2 leading to the imposition of the existing extended measures.

               (8)

               Furthermore, the applicant alleged that it was not related to any exporting producers subject to the measures in force, and that it was not circumventing the measures in force.

         C.   INITIATION OF A PARTIAL INTERIM REVIEW

               (9)

               The Commission determined that the review request contained sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a partial interim review pursuant to Article 19 and Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation. The Commission thus initiated on 19 May 2015 an investigation by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (6) (‘the notice of initiation’).

         D.   PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW

               (10)

               The product under review is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin (‘the product under review’, or ‘biodiesel’), currently falling within CN codes ex 1516 20 98, ex 1518 00 91, ex 1518 00 99, ex 2710 19 43, ex 2710 19 46, ex 2710 19 47, ex 2710 20 11, ex 2710 20 15, ex 2710 20 17, ex 3824 90 92, ex 3826 00 10 and ex 3826 00 90 originating in the United States of America.

         E.   INVESTIGATION PERIOD

               (11)

               The reporting period for this investigation covered the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015 (‘reporting period’). Data was also collected from 1 April 2009 to the end of the reporting period.

         F.   INTERESTED PARTIES

               (12)

               The Commission officially informed the applicant and the representatives of Canada about the initiation of the partial interim review. 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. Only the applicant came forward. No hearing was requested.

               (13)

               The Commission received the questionnaire reply submitted by the applicant, which was verified on the spot at the applicant's premises in Canada.

         G.   FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATION

               (14)

               The applicant was founded in 1997 as a manufacturer of Omega 3 nutritional supplements.

               (15)

               The investigation established that the applicant is a genuine producer of biodiesel, which is resulting as a by-product from its manufacturing process of Omega 3 fish oil concentrates, its core business.

               (16)

               The investigation also confirmed that the applicant is not related to any producer of biodiesel located in the United States of America subject to measures.

               (17)

               The investigation furthermore confirmed that the biodiesel exported to the Union market was indeed produced by the applicant.

               (18)

               Moreover, the investigation did not reveal any evidence that the applicant purchased biodiesel from the United States of America, nor that it transhipped US manufactured biodiesel into the Union.

               (19)

               In view of the findings in recitals 14 to 18, the Commission established that the applicant is a genuine producer of the product under review, and that it therefore should be exempted from the extended measures.

               (20)

               Interested parties were informed of the intention to grant the exemption to the applicant and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments which could alter the decision to terminate the review investigation were received.

               (21)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (7),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1378 of 25 July 2017 renewing the approval of coumatetralyl as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 14 (Text with EEA relevance. )

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1378
   of 25 July 2017
   renewing the approval of coumatetralyl as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 14
   (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 Article 14(4)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The active substance coumatetralyl is approved for use in biocidal products of product-type 14 as a rodenticide under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an application was submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) for the renewal of the approval of that active substance. This application was evaluated by the competent authority of Denmark as the evaluating competent authority.

               (3)

               On 23 March 2016, the evaluating competent authority submitted its recommendation on the renewal of the approval of coumatetralyl to the Agency.

               (4)

               On 16 June 2016, the opinion of the Agency was formulated by its Biocidal Products Committee (2), having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to that opinion, coumatetralyl meets the criteria in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) to be classified as toxic for reproduction category 1B. Coumatetralyl therefore meets the exclusion criterion set out in Article 5(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (6)

               In addition, the use of products containing coumatetralyl raises concerns in relation to instances of primary and secondary poisoning, even where restrictive risk management measures are applied and therefore coumatetralyl also satisfies the criterion to be a candidate for substitution in accordance with Article 10(1)(e) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (7)

               Pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the approval of active substances meeting the exclusion criteria may only be renewed when at least one of the conditions for derogation set out in Article 5(2) of that Regulation continues to be satisfied.

               (8)

               In accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Agency organised a public consultation in order to collect relevant information on coumatetralyl, including information on available substitutes.

               (9)

               The Commission also carried out a specific public consultation in order to gather information as to whether the conditions for derogation set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 were satisfied. The Commission made the contributions to that consultation publicly available.

               (10)

               The contributions to the two above-mentioned public consultations, as well as the information regarding the availability of alternatives to anticoagulant rodenticides included in Annex 1 to the Commission report on risk mitigation measures for anticoagulant rodenticides (4), were discussed with Member States in the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products.

               (11)

               Rodents can carry pathogens that are responsible for many zoonoses, which can pose serious dangers for human or animal health. Non-chemical controls or prevention methods for rodent control, such as mechanical, electrical or glue traps, may not be sufficiently efficient and may raise further questions as to whether they are humane or whether they cause unnecessary suffering to rodents. Alternative active substances approved for use as rodenticides may not be suitable for all user categories or efficient for all rodent species. As effective rodent control cannot rely on those non-chemical controls or prevention methods only, coumatetralyl is considered essential to ensure appropriate rodent control in support of those alternatives. As a consequence the use of coumatetralyl would be to prevent or control a serious danger to human and animal health in which rodents are involved. Therefore, the condition set out in Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is satisfied.

               (12)

               Rodent control currently relies largely on the use of anticoagulant rodenticides, the non-approval of which could lead to insufficient rodent control. This may not only cause significant negative impacts on human or animal health or the environment, but also affect the public's perception of its safety with regard to exposure to rodents or the security of a number of economic activities that could be vulnerable to rodents, resulting in economic and social consequences. On the other hand, the risks to human health, animal health or the environment arising from use of products containing coumatetralyl can be mitigated if they are used according to certain specifications and conditions. Therefore, the non-approval of coumatetralyl as an active substance would have a disproportionate negative impact on society in comparison to the risks arising from the use of the substance. The condition set out in Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is thus also satisfied.

               (13)

               It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of coumatetralyl for use in biocidal products of product-type 14, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (14)

               Coumatetralyl is a candidate for substitution in accordance with points (a) and (e) of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and therefore the period of renewal set out in Article 10(4) of that Regulation should apply.

               (15)

               As the examination of the applications for the renewal of the approval of bromadiolone, chlorophacinone and coumatetralyl for use in biocidal products of product-type 14 is now finalised, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1737 (5) is repealed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1377 (6).

               (16)

               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
   The approval of coumatetralyl as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 14 is renewed, 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 327/2012
   of 17 April 2012
   amending Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 as regards the threshold for the economic size and the number of returning holdings in Slovakia
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Community (1), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 of 18 December 2009 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings (2) sets the thresholds for the economic size of agricultural holdings for the accounting year 2010 and subsequent accounting years.

               (2)

               Ongoing structural change and a better understanding of the farming structure in Slovakia have led to the conclusion that adjustments should be made to the selection plan of Slovakia in order for the field of survey to cover the most relevant part of the agricultural activity. In order to achieve this, the threshold for the economic size of agricultural holdings for Slovakia should be increased from EUR 15 000 to EUR 25 000.

               (3)

               In the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 the total number of returning holdings for Slovakia has been fixed at 523. In order to guarantee a better representativeness of the Slovak sample, the number of returning holdings for Slovakia should be increased by 39 and fixed at 562 returning holdings.

               (4)

               Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               in Article 2, the indent concerning Slovakia is replaced by the following:
               ‘—   Slovakia: EUR 25 000’;

               (2)

               the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

         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 the 2013 accounting year.

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

   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 (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products falling within CN codes 1001 10 00, 1001 90 91, ex 1001 90 99 (high quality common wheat), 1002, ex 1005 other than hybrid seed, and ex 1007 other than hybrids for sowing, is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, for the purposes of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Pursuant to Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products of CN codes 1001 10 00, 1001 90 91, ex 1001 90 99 (high quality common wheat), 1002 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00 and 1007 00 90 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 November 2011 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
