         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/10
   of 6 January 2015
   on criteria for applicants for rail infrastructure capacity and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 870/2014
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2012/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 establishing a single European railway area (1), and in particular Article 41(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 41(2) of Directive 2012/34/EU provides for the possibility for infrastructure managers to set requirements with regard to applicants to ensure that their legitimate expectations about future revenues and utilisation of the infrastructure are safeguarded.

               (2)

               Those requirements should be appropriate, transparent and non-discriminatory. They can only include the provision of a financial guarantee that should not exceed an appropriate level proportional to the contemplated level of activity, and assurance of the capability of the applicant to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity.

               (3)

               Financial guarantees could take the form of advance payments or guarantees provided by financial institutions

               (4)

               The appropriateness of the requirements referred to in Article 41(2) of Directive 2012/34/EU should take account of the fact that the infrastructure of competing transport modes, such as road and air transport, sea ships and inland waterways, is often free of user charges and hence also free of financial guarantees thereon. In order to ensure fair competition between transport modes, financial guarantees should be limited to the strict minimum in terms of level and duration.

               (5)

               Those financial guarantees are only appropriate if they are necessary for the purpose of reassuring the infrastructure manager about the future revenues and utilisation of the infrastructure. Considering that infrastructure managers are able to rely on the checks and surveillance of the financial fitness of railway undertakings under the licensing procedure in accordance with Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU, and in particular Article 20 of that Directive, the need for financial guarantees is further reduced.

               (6)

               The principle of non-discrimination applies to those guarantees, therefore there should be no distinction between the guarantee requirements for privately and publicly owned applicants.

               (7)

               Guarantees should be commensurate with the level of risk posed by the applicant for the infrastructure manager at different stages of capacity allocation. The risk is considered generally to be low as long as the capacity can be re-allocated to other railway undertakings.

               (8)

               A guarantee which is requested in relation to the preparation of compliant bids can only be considered as appropriate, transparent and non-discriminatory if the infrastructure manager sets out clear and transparent rules for preparing a capacity request in the network statement, and offers the necessary support tools to applicants. Since it is not possible to objectively determine the capability of preparing compliant bids before the application procedure, any lack of capability can only be determined after that procedure, on the basis of a repeated failure to put forward those bids or provide the necessary information to the infrastructure manager. The applicant should be responsible for that failure which carries a sanction involving the exclusion of the applicant from the application for a specific train path.

               (9)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 870/2014 (2) was mistakenly adopted in a version other than that which had received the positive opinion of the Committee. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 870/2014 should accordingly be repealed.

               (10)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 62(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter
   This Regulation sets out the requirements for financial guarantees that an infrastructure manager may request to ensure that its legitimate expectations about future revenues are met without exceeding a level proportional to the level of activities contemplated by the applicant. The requirements include in particular the conditions when a guarantee or an advance payment may be requested and the level and duration of a financial guarantee. In addition, this Regulation sets out certain details as regards the criteria to assess the capability of an applicant to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity.
   Article 2
   Definitions
   For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definition applies:

               ‘financial guarantee’ means (a) advance payments to reduce and anticipate future obligations to pay infrastructure charges or (b) contractual arrangements by which a financial institution such as bank commits to ensure that such payments are effected once they are due.

         Article 3
   Conditions for financial guarantees
   1.   The applicant may choose to meet a request for financial guarantee by means of either advance payment or contractual arrangement in the meaning of Article 2. If an applicant provides an advance payment for infrastructure charges, the infrastructure manager shall not at the same time request other financial guarantees for the same contemplated activities.
   2.   The infrastructure manager may request applicants to provide financial guarantees where the credit rating of the applicant suggests that he might have difficulties in effecting regular payments for infrastructure charges. The infrastructure manager shall mention such credit ratings in the section on charging principles of its network statement, if applicable. The infrastructure manager shall base his request for a financial guarantee on ratings not older than two years provided by a credit rating agency or another professional rating or credit scoring entity.
   3.   The infrastructure manager shall not request a financial guarantee:

               (a)

               from the designated railway undertaking if a financial guarantee has already been granted or paid by the applicant, which is not a railway undertaking, to cover future payments for the same contemplated activities;

               (b)

               if the infrastructure charge is to be paid directly to the infrastructure manager by a competent authority pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

         Article 4
   Level and duration of financial guarantees
   1.   The level of financial guarantees regarding one applicant shall not exceed the estimated amount of charges incurred during two months of train operations requested.
   2.   An infrastructure manager shall not require that a financial guarantee takes effect or is paid more than 10 days before the first of the month in which the railway undertaking starts the train operations in relation to the infrastructure charges which this financial guarantee is to cover. If the capacity is allocated after this point in time, the infrastructure manager may request the financial guarantee at short notice.
   Article 5
   Capability to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity
   The infrastructure manager shall not reject an application for a specific train path on grounds of failing to provide assurance of the capability to prepare a compliant bid for infrastructure capacity, within the meaning of Article 41(2) of Directive 2012/34/EU, unless:

               (a)

               the applicant has failed to answer two subsequent requests requiring the provision of the missing information or has repeatedly responded in a way that does not satisfy the conditions set out in the network statement referred to in Article 27 of Directive 2012/34/EU and in Annex IV to that Directive regarding the application procedures for train paths and

               (b)

               the infrastructure manager is able to demonstrate at the request of and to the satisfaction of the regulatory body that it has taken all reasonable steps to support the correct and timely submission of applications.

         Article 6
   Transitional provision
   Where necessary, infrastructure managers shall align their network statements to the provisions of this Regulation for the first time table period following the entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 7
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 870/2014 is repealed.
   Article 8
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 16 June 2015, with the exception of Article 7, which shall apply from the date of entry into force.

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

   of 28 September 2015
   approving 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4
   (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 Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol.

               (2)

               5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in product-type 1, human hygiene biocidal products, product-type 2, private area and public health area disinfectants and other biocidal products, and product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 1, 2 and 4, as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Austria was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 13 February 2013 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (4).

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 4 December 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products used for product-types 1, 2 and 4 and containing 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               The opinions conclude that 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol meets the criteria for being very bioaccumulative (vB) and toxic (T) according to Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (8)

               Since, pursuant to Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, substances for which the Member States' evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 should be approved in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC, the period of approval should be 10 years in accordance with the practice established under Directive 98/8/EC.

               (9)

               For the purposes of Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 however, 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol meets the conditions of Article 10(1)(d) of that Regulation and should therefore be considered a candidate for substitution.

               (10)

               For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

               (11)

               Since 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol meets the criteria for being very bioaccumulative (vB), treated articles treated with or incorporating 5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol should be appropriately labelled when placed on the market.

               (12)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (13)

               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
   5-Chloro-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenol is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4, 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) 2015/2253
   of 2 December 2015
   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.

               (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, 2 December 2015.

            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)

                  An article (so-called ‘draught excluder’ or ‘door bottom seal’) consisting of an aluminium base with dimensions of approximately 100 × 3 cm and plastic bristles of a length of approximately 2 cm and with a cross–sectional dimension of more than 1 mm attached to the base. The base is covered with a self-adhesive film on one side.
                  The base is to be affixed to the bottom of a door by the adhesive film. The bristles bridge the gap between the underside of the door and the floor, preventing the entry of a current of air, dirt, etc.

                      (1) See image.

                  3926 90 97

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3 (b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3926, 3926 90 and 3926 90 97.
                  Given the objective characteristics of the article, it is intended to bridge the gap between the door and the floor preventing the entry of a current of air, dirt, etc. It is not intended to be used as a brush for cleaning. Classification under heading 9603 as brushes is therefore excluded.
                  The article is composite goods made up of different components, namely the aluminium base, the plastic bristles and the adhesive film. The bristles give the article its essential character because of their role in relation to the use of the product. Classification under heading 7616 as other articles of aluminium is therefore also excluded.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 3926 90 97 as other articles of plastics.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 877/2014
   of 8 August 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.

               (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, 8 August 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Martine REICHERTS

            Member of the Commission

      (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)

                  An apparatus (so-called ‘LCD video wall display’) comprising a colour monitor of the LCD technology and an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine, with dimensions of approximately 91 × 53 × 12 cm.
                  The monitor with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 102 cm (40 inches) has the following characteristics:

                              —

                              a native resolution of 1 920 × 1 080 pixels,

                              —

                              an aspect ratio of 16:9,

                              —

                              a pixel pitch of 0,46125 mm,

                              —

                              a response time of 8 ms,

                              —

                              a maximum brightness of 700 cd/m2,

                              —

                              a typical contrast ratio of 3 000:1,

                              —

                              a horizontal and vertical viewing angle of 178°,

                              —

                              picture-in-picture (PIP) capability.

                        The built-in ADP machine comprises a microprocessor, a memory of 1 GB and a hard disk drive of 40 GB.
                  The apparatus also comprises an audio amplifier, two loudspeakers and power and control buttons and is presented with a remote control.
                  The apparatus has the following interfaces: VGA In, DVI-D In/Out, HDMI, CVBS (AV), RS232C In/Out, Audio In/Out and LAN.
                  The apparatus is presented for use as a component in LCD video walls. The integrated ADP machine is used as a video wall processor for providing video wall control over a network of up to 5 × 5 video wall configurations. The apparatus can work autonomously as a monitor or as an ADP machine.

                  8528 59 31

                  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 8528, 8528 59 and 8528 59 31.
                  The apparatus is designed to perform two functions of Section XVI (data-processing of heading 8471 and video display of heading 8528). By virtue of note 3 to that section, it is to be classified as being that apparatus which performs the principal function.
                  Given its concept and design, such as the fact that the ADP machine is used as a video wall processor for providing video wall control over a network of up to 5 × 5 video wall configurations, the apparatus is intended to be used as a monitor component of a LCD video wall. Consequently the apparatus' principal function is that of a monitor of heading 8528. Classification under heading 8471 as an ADP machine is therefore excluded.
                  Given its objective characteristics, such as the size of the screen, the supported video modes, a pixel pitch not suitable for prolonged close viewing, the high brightness, the presence of a remote control, the audio circuits with amplification and the PIP function, the monitor is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. Classification under subheading 8528 51 00 is therefore excluded.
                  As the monitor is capable of displaying signals from an ADP machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.
                  The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 31 as other flat panel displays able to display signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality with a screen of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1615
   of 8 September 2016
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559 as regards the period in which agreements and decisions on the planning of production in the milk and milk products sector are authorised
   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 the second subparagraph of Article 222(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In addition to a series of exceptional measures to address the difficult market situation in the milk and milk products sector on the basis of Article 219 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the Commission has authorised voluntary agreements and decisions on the planning of production in the milk and milk products sector for recognised producer organisations, their associations and recognised interbranch organisations by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559 (2) and for cooperatives and other forms of producer organisations in the milk and milk products sector by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/558 (3) for a period of six months starting on 13 April 2016.

               (2)

               No joint agreement or decision has been reported so far, as the sector needs time to organise itself to use this new instrument, while the milk sector is still confronted with severe market imbalance due to worldwide supply-demand imbalance, in which the prolongation until the end of 2017 of the Russian ban on the import of agricultural products and foodstuffs originating in the Union plays a role.

               (3)

               Farm gate milk prices declined in 2015 by 8 % and by a further 15 % in the first five months of 2016. In May 2016, the average milk price in the Union was 22 % lower than the average of the last five years. In parallel, the gap between Member States further widened, with some Member States reporting prices 30 % lower than the Union average. On the basis of available market analysis, no significant decrease in production volumes is expected until the end of 2017.

               (4)

               In order to help the milk and milk products sector find a new balance under the prevailing severe market imbalance and accompany the necessary adjustments following the expiry of the milk quota, it is appropriate to authorise the voluntary agreements and decisions referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/558 for a further period of six months. As the conditions as well as the substantive and geographical scope referred to in Article 222(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the relevant notification obligations have already been specified in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559, it is appropriate to amend that Implementing Regulation.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               Given the severe market imbalance and the need to ensure continuity and legal certainty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.

               (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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/559 is amended as follows:

               (1)

                           (b)

                           to prolong the validity of such agreements or decisions concluded or taken during the period starting on 13 April 2016 for a period not exceeding 12 April 2017.’

               (2)

               Article 4 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

                           (b)

                           In paragraph 3, point (b) is replaced by the following:

                                       ‘(b)

                                       no later than 30 days after the end of each six-month period referred to in Article 1, an overview of the agreements and decisions implemented during that period.’

         Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
