         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1901
   of 18 October 2017
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Danbo (PGI)]
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(3)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 entered into force on 3 January 2013. It repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs, Denmark's application to register the name ‘Danbo’ as a protected geographical indication (PGI) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3).

               (3)

               Austria, Argentina together with Centro de la Industria Lechera — Dairy Industry Federation of Argentina, Australia together with Dairy Australia, New Zealand together with Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand, Uruguay, the Office of the United States Trade Representative and the Consortium for Common Food Names of the United States submitted oppositions to the registration pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. These oppositions were deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation, except for the one from Austria that was not received within the prescribed time-limit.

               (4)

               The oppositions concerned non-compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, replaced by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, in particular arguing that ‘Danbo’ does not possess a specific quality, reputation or other characteristics that are attributable to the geographical origin. They also assert that the name ‘Danbo’ would not qualify as a traditional non-geographical name and that no exceptional circumstances exist that would justify the designation of the whole of Denmark as the delimited geographical area. The oppositions further claimed that the name ‘Danbo’ has become a generic name as provided for in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, replaced by Articles 6(1) and 41 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. In this respect they pointed out that ‘Danbo’ has been subject to a Codex Alimentarius Standard since 1966 as well as it has been included in the Annex B of the Stresa Convention of 1951. The generic nature of the name would be demonstrated by the fact that ‘Danbo’ has also its own tariff line. The oppositions further indicate the importance of the production and consumption of ‘Danbo’ in several EU and non-EU countries, certain of which have a specific legal standard for it.

               (5)

               By letters of 18 September 2012, in accordance with Article 7(5) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations.

               (6)

               Given that no agreement was reached within the designated timeframe, the Commission should adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 52(3)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

               (7)

               Concerning the alleged failure of the name ‘Danbo’ to comply with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, replaced by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, it should be noted that the relevant provision in force does not distinguish a country as an exceptional case for a geographical indication. Likewise, appreciation whether or not ‘Danbo’ is a ‘traditional non-geographical name’ is not any more required. The registration of ‘Danbo’ as a PGI is actually applied for on the basis of its reputation that is attributable to its geographical origin within the meaning of Article 5(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 and which is extensively described in the published single document and in the product specification. The opponents did not provide a valid reasoning challenging that description.

               (8)

               The opponents submitted several pieces of evidence that allegedly show that the name in question is generic. However, having a specific Codex Alimentarius Standard as well as an inclusion of ‘Danbo’ in Annex B to the Stresa Convention does not imply that the said name has become ipso facto generic. As indicated by the Court of Justice in its standing case law, tariff codes relate to customs issues and are therefore not relevant to the intellectual property rights. Furthermore, the limited data that were submitted concerning, in particular, the production of ‘Danbo’ outside the European Union are not relevant considering the principle of territoriality inherent to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, according to which the possibly generic nature of a name is to be assessed in relation to the territory of the EU. The perception of this term outside the European Union and the possible existence of related regulatory production standards in third countries are not deemed relevant to the present decision.

               (9)

               No evidence has been provided in the opposition procedure as regards imports of such cheese from third countries to the European Union. As a consequence, there are no grounds for a transitional period under Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 to be granted to specific producers in third countries.

               (10)

               The link between Denmark and Danbo is based on reputation. Denmark has submitted a high number of specialised publications and references that demonstrate that a reputational link exists between Denmark and Danbo. Its reputation is further confirmed for its taking part in exhibitions and competitions both nationally and internationally and for winning a large number of awards.

               (11)

               As regards the EU territory, Danbo is produced essentially in Denmark and it is also essentially marketed in Denmark.

               (12)

               Denmark provided undisputed evidence that consumption and knowledge of ‘Danbo’ are heavily concentrated in Denmark, and that the overwhelming majority of the Danish consumers does recognise its persistent link with Denmark. Outside Denmark, knowledge of this cheese is extremely limited. Such unawareness may not lead to Danbo being considered a generic name.

               (13)

               In the light of the above, the name ‘Danbo’ should be entered in the ‘register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’.

               (14)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Agricultural Product Quality Policy Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name ‘Danbo’ (PGI) is registered.
   The name in the first paragraph identifies a product from Class 1.3. Cheeses set out in Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 668/2014 (4).
   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.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013 of 6 May 2013 specifying a procedure for the authorisation of same biocidal products in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council  Text with EEA relevance

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 414/2013
   of 6 May 2013
   specifying a procedure for the authorisation of same biocidal products in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to 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 17(7) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 specifies procedures for applying for and granting authorisation of biocidal products.

               (2)

               Where applications are submitted to the same receiving competent authority or to the Agency for two or more authorisations of biocidal products with the same properties, the authorisations may be granted based on one single product evaluation and, as the case may be, comparative assessment. It is therefore appropriate to provide for an adapted authorisation procedure for such cases.

               (3)

               The terms and conditions relating to the making available on the market and use of a biocidal product should be based on the evaluation made of the product. It is therefore appropriate to require that biocidal products authorised in accordance with this Regulation are authorised on the same terms and conditions as the evaluated biocidal products to which they refer, with the exception of the details on which the products differ.

               (4)

               Since this Regulation specifies a procedure provided for by Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, which applies from 1 September 2013, this Regulation should also apply from that date.

               (5)

               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
   Subject matter
   This Regulation lays down the procedure applicable where an authorisation is sought for a product (the ‘same product’) which is identical to another biocidal product or product family which has been authorised or registered in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) or Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, or for which an application for such registration or authorisation has been submitted (the ‘related reference product’), with regards to all the latest information submitted in relation to the authorisation or registration, except information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 of 18 April 2013 on changes of biocidal products authorised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).
   Article 2
   Content of applications
   By way of derogation from Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and the information requirements in Article 43(1) thereof, an application for authorisation of a same product shall contain the following information:

               (a)

               the authorisation number or, for not yet approved related reference products, the application number in the Register for Biocidal Products of the related reference product;

               (b)

               an indication of the proposed differences between the same product and the related reference product, and evidence that the products are identical on all other aspects;

               (c)

               where required by Article 59(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, letters of access to all the data supporting the authorisation of the related reference product;

               (d)

               a draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics for the same product.

         Article 3
   Submission and validation of applications for national authorisation
   1.   Where the related reference product has been authorised by national authorisation or is the subject of an application for such an authorisation, applications for authorisation of a same product shall be submitted in accordance with Article 29(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 to the competent authority that has granted or is requested to grant the national authorisation of the related reference product.
   2.   By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 29 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the competent authority shall validate the application within 30 days of accepting it, provided that the information indicated in Article 2 has been submitted.
   The validation shall include a check that the proposed differences between the same product and the related reference product concern merely information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.
   Article 4
   Submission and validation of applications for Union authorisation
   1.   Where the related reference product has been authorised by Union authorisation or is the subject of an application for such an authorisation, applications for authorisation of a same product shall be submitted to the Agency in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
   2.   However, the application shall not include a confirmation that the biocidal product would have similar conditions of use across the Union or a reference to an evaluating competent authority.
   3.   For the purposes of the application of this Article, Article 43(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 shall be read as requiring the Agency to inform the applicant only.
   4.   By way of derogation from the first and second subparagraphs of Article 43(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Agency shall validate the application within 30 days of accepting it provided that the information indicated in Article 2 has been submitted.
   5.   The validation shall include a check that the proposed differences between the same product and the related reference product concern merely information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.
   6.   For the purposes of the application of this Article, all references to the evaluating competent authority in the third subparagraph of Article 43(3) and in Article 43(4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 shall be read as referring to the Agency.
   Article 5
   Evaluation and decision on applications for national authorisation
   By way of derogation from Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the receiving competent authority shall decide whether to grant or refuse authorisation of a same product in accordance with Article 19 of that Regulation within 60 days from the validation of the application in accordance with Article 3, or, where applicable, from the subsequent date of adoption of the corresponding decision concerning the related reference product.
   Article 6
   Evaluation and decision on applications for Union authorisation
   1.   By way of derogation from Article 44(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 the Agency shall prepare and submit to the Commission an opinion on the application within 30 days from the validation of the application in accordance with Article 4 of this Regulation, or, where applicable, on the subsequent date of submission of an opinion on the related reference product in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
   2.   If the Agency recommends the authorisation of the biocidal product, the opinion shall contain at least both the following elements:

               (a)

               a statement on whether the conditions laid down in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 are fulfilled, and a draft summary of biocidal products characteristics, as referred to in Article 22(2) of that Regulation;

               (b)

               where relevant, details of any terms and conditions which should be imposed on the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product.

         Article 7
   Authorisations and changes of same products
   1.   A same product shall have a different authorisation number than that of the related reference product.
   On all other aspects, the content of the authorisation of a same product shall be identical with that of the related reference product except in terms of the information in respect of which the products differ. The Register for Biocidal Products shall show a link between same products and related reference products.
   2.   Changes of a same product or of a related reference product shall be notified or applied for in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 independently of each other.
   Authorisations of a same product or of a related reference product may be changed or cancelled independently of each other.
   However, in the evaluation of a proposed change of a same product or of a related reference product, the receiving competent authority or, where relevant, the Agency shall consider the appropriateness of cancelling or amending the authorisation of other products to which the product is linked in the Register for Biocidal Products as referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.
   Article 8
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 September 2013.

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

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1479
      of 16 August 2017
      amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240 as regards the disposal of intervention stocks for the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived
      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 Article 20(i) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In accordance with Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, products bought in under public intervention (‘intervention products’) may be disposed of by making them available for the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived in the Union (‘the scheme’) as set out in the relevant Union legal acts.

                  (2)

                  Article 23(4) of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that food to be distributed to the most deprived persons in the Union may be obtained from the use, processing or sale of intervention products, provided that this is economically the most favourable option and does not unduly delay the delivery of the food products.

                  (3)

                  Although Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1238 (3) contains provisions in respect of lodging a security for submitting an offer or a tender for the disposal of intervention products under the scheme, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240 (4) does not contain detailed rules on procedures relating to products made available for the scheme.

                  (4)

                  When there are intervention products and prevailing market conditions allow for the disposal of such products, the Commission should have the possibility to decide to make those products available for the scheme. For that purpose, the Commission should fix the quantity to be made available and Member States that wish to receive a part of the quantity made available should submit a request.

                  (5)

                  Where the total quantity requested exceeds the total available quantity, the products should be allocated in proportion to the quantities requested. Subsequently, the distribution of the available lots among the Member States should be made in accordance with criteria to be defined by the Commission in relation to the location of the products.

                  (6)

                  Since intervention products may be of a different nature and may have different characteristics, the most appropriate and efficient way of disposal for the purposes of the scheme can be different. It is therefore necessary to lay down the relevant procedural rules, including certain deadlines.

                  (7)

                  Apart from the use or processing of intervention products, the sale through tenders organised by Member States that have been allocated a part of the quantity made available for the scheme is a possible efficient option. Specific rules on the sale through such tenders should be laid down. In order to avoid the risk of disturbing the relevant markets when selling through tenders, it is appropriate to fix a minimum price below which no offers can be accepted.

                  (8)

                  Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                  (9)

                  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) 2016/1240 is amended as follows:

                  (1)

                  In Title II, the following Chapter IV is added:
                  ‘CHAPTER IV

                        Disposal of products from intervention for the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived in the Union

                  Article 38a
                  Making products from intervention available for the scheme
                  1.   The Commission may, by way of an Implementing Regulation adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 229(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, make intervention products available for the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived in the Union referred to in Article 16(2) of that Regulation (‘the scheme’).
                  2.   The Implementing Regulation referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain, in particular, the following information:

                              (a)

                              the type and quantity of the products that are made available for the scheme;

                              (b)

                              the location of the products made available for the scheme and the criteria for the distribution of the available lots among the Member States concerned on the basis of their location;

                              (c)

                              the way in which the products are to be disposed of in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 23(4) of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*1) (direct use, processing or sale) in order to make them available for the scheme in a way that is economically the most favourable option taking into account the nature and characteristics of the products;

                              (d)

                              where the products are to be sold in accordance with Article 38b of this Regulation, the level of the security to be lodged in accordance with Article 4(a) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1238 and the price below which the products shall not be sold.

                        3.   Member States interested to be allocated part or all of the quantity referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2 shall submit a request to the Commission within 10 working days after the publication of the Implementing Regulation referred to in paragraph 1. That request shall specify the type and the quantity (expressed in tonnes) of the product requested. The quantity requested by a Member State shall not exceed the quantity referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2.
                  4.   Within 20 working days after the publication of the Implementing Regulation referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall adopt an Implementing Regulation without applying the procedure referred to in Article 229(2) or (3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 by which it:

                              (a)

                              (b)

                              specifies the location of the available lots as distributed to the Member States concerned in accordance with the criteria referred to in point (b) of paragraph 2.

                        For the purposes of point (a) of the first subparagraph, where the total quantity requested by Member States exceeds the quantity referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2, a quantity shall be allocated to the Member States concerned in proportion to the quantity requested by them.
                  5.   Where the quantity allocated to a Member State is 50 % lower than the quantity requested, the Member State may renounce the quantity allocated to it by informing the Commission of its decision within 10 working days after the publication of the Implementing Regulation by which the products were allocated. Those products shall no longer be available for the scheme under that specific Implementing Regulation.
                  Article 38b
                  Sale of intervention products made available for the scheme
                  1.   Where the Implementing Regulation referred to in Article 38a(1) provides that the products made available for the scheme have to be disposed of by sale, paragraphs 2 to 7 of this Article shall apply.
                  2.   The paying agency of the Member State that has been allocated products in accordance with Article 38a(4) shall, within 40 working days after the publication of the Implementing Regulation by which the products were allocated, open a tendering procedure for the sale of the products.
                  Where a Member State has been allocated products held by the paying agency of another Member State, the paying agency holding the products shall provide to the paying agency selling the products the information referred to in Article 29(2)(d) to (g) within 10 working days after the publication of the Implementing Regulation by which the products were allocated.
                  3.   Where the paying agency of a Member State that has been allocated products held by the paying agency of another Member State sells all or part of those products, the paying agency selling the products shall pay the paying agency holding them at the accounting value referred to in Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. That payment shall be made within 4 working days after the receipt of the payment from an operator of the amount corresponding to his tender. The paying agency holding the products shall issue the removal order referred to in Article 37 of this Regulation within 5 working days after the receipt of the payment from the paying agency selling the products.
                  4.   The paying agency selling the products shall, within 10 working days after the receipt of the payment from an operator of the amount corresponding to his tender, transfer the difference between the selling price and the accounting value of the products, multiplied by the quantity sold, to the body to which payments are made by the Commission under Regulation (EU) No 223/2014. That transferred amount shall be used to finance the purchase and distribution of food for the most deprived in addition to the resources already available in the operational programme.
                  5.   Any administrative costs related to the sale of the products shall be borne by the paying agency selling the products.
                  6.   Chapter II of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1238 and Chapter III of Title II of this Regulation, with the exception of Article 28(2), Article 29(2)(b), Article 30(1)(a) and (e), Article 31, 32(2), the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) and Article 36 of this Regulation, shall apply to a tendering procedure opened by a paying agency in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article. Articles 32(1) and 33(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a respective decision of a Member State. For the purposes of Article 30(1)(g), the amount of the security provided for in the Implementing Regulation opening the sale shall be understood as the amount of the security provided for in the Implementing Regulation referred to in Article 38a(1).
                  7.   Where all or part of the products allocated to a Member State have not been sold within 5 months after the publication of the Implementing Regulation by which the products were allocated, those products shall no longer be available under that specific Implementing Regulation.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 801/2014
   of 24 July 2014
   setting out the timetable and other implementing conditions related to the mechanism for the allocation of resources for the Union Resettlement Programme under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 establishing the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (1), in particular Article 17(8) thereof,
   After consulting the Asylum, Migration and Integration and Internal Security Funds Committee established by Article 59(1) of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down general provisions on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and on the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In addition to the amounts allocated pursuant to Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 516/2014, Member States receive an additional amount, every two years, for each resettled person.

               (2)

               The periods to be taken into account for the calculation of the additional amount should be specified. It is appropriate to establish three resettlement periods, in respect of each of which an additional amount may be allocated to a Member State.

               (3)

               If, in 2017, it appears necessary to provide for a revision in 2019 of the common Union resettlement priorities referred to in Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) No 516/2014, the third resettlement period, covering the years 2018 to 2020, may be limited to the years 2018 and 2019. If so, this Regulation will be amended to provide for an additional resettlement period for the year 2020.

               (4)

               In order for the Commission to establish the additional amount to be allocated in respect of resettlement in any given resettlement period, each Member State should submit to the Commission an estimate of the number of persons it plans to resettle during that period. The estimate should be submitted via the electronic data exchange system established by Article 2 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 802/2014 (3).

               (5)

               Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 provides that the additional amounts for resettlement are to be allocated to the Member States for the first time in the individual financing decisions approving the national programmes referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014. For the resettlement period covering the years 2014 and 2015, the national programmes to be submitted to the Commission should therefore contain an estimate of the number of persons the Member State plans to resettle during that period. For the other resettlement periods, each Member State should submit an estimate by 15 September of the year preceding the resettlement period concerned.

               (6)

               The additional amount for resettlement allocated to each Member State is based on an estimate of the number of persons it plans to resettle. To qualify for payment of the additional amount, the persons concerned should have been effectively resettled from the beginning of the period concerned and up to six months following the end of that period.

               (7)

               In order to be paid the additional amount, which is based on a lump sum for each resettled person, Member States should report to the Commission the number of persons qualifying for payment. They should keep the evidence of these persons qualifying for payment.

               (8)

               The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 and are as a consequence bound by this Regulation.

               (9)

               Denmark is not bound by Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 nor by this Regulation.

               (10)

               In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation and not delay the approval of the national programmes, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   Article 2
   Qualification for the additional amount for resettled persons and reporting
   1.   In order to qualify for the additional amount, the persons concerned shall be effectively resettled from the beginning of the period concerned and up to six months following the end of that period.

   For persons falling within any of the priority categories and groups of persons referred to in Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) No 516/2014, Member States shall also keep the evidence that they belong to the relevant priority category or group of persons.
   2.   Each Member State which has been allocated an additional amount for resettlement shall include in the annual accounts provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EU) No 514/2014, the number of resettled persons qualifying for the additional amount, of which the number of persons falling within any of the priority categories and groups of persons defined in Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) No 516/2014.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/268
   of 14 February 2017
   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 Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 57(4) and 58(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. 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 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 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.

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product consisting of white tablets composed of the following:

                              —

                              steviol glycosides,

                              —

                              sodium carbonate,

                              —

                              sodium citrate,

                              —

                              leucine.

                        200 tablets (each of 56 mg) put up for retail sale in a pocket dispenser.
                  The product has a caloric value of 0,06 kcal per tablet.

                  2106 90 92

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(b) to Chapter 38 and the wording of CN codes 2106 , 2106 90  and 2106 90 92 .
                  In accordance with Note 1(b) to Chapter 38, the product cannot be regarded as a chemical product of Chapter 38 as it contains substances with nutritive value, of a kind used in the preparation of foodstuffs. There is no threshold for the amount of the nutritive value.
                  Steviol glycosides and leucine are regarded as substances with nutritive value (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to Chapter 38, General, antepenultimate and penultimate paragraph).
                  Preparations (such as tablets) consisting of a sweetener and a foodstuff used for sweetening purposes should be classified under heading 2106  (see also the HSEN to heading 2106 , number 10).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under heading 2106  as other food preparation of CN code 2106 90 92 .

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1758
   of 28 September 2015
   approving folpet as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 7 and 9
   (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.

               (2)

               That list includes folpet.

               (3)

               Folpet 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 7, film preservatives, and product-type 9, fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-type 7 and 9, as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (4)

               Italy was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports, together with its recommendations, to the Commission in June 2011 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (4).

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 17 June 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating Competent Authority.

               (6)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products used for product-types 7 and 9 and containing folpet 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.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve folpet for use in biocidal products for product-types 7 and 9 subject to compliance with the specific conditions in the Annex.

               (8)

               Since folpet meets the criteria for classification as skin sensitiser category 1 as defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), treated articles treated with or incorporating folpet should be appropriately labelled when placed on the market.

               (9)

               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.

                  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.
                  The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions:

                              (1)

                              For industrial users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.

                              (3)

                              In view of the risks to the soil compartment, products shall not be authorised for preservation of mixtures to be applied outdoor by spraying, unless it can be demonstrated that risks can be reduced to an acceptable level.

                        The placing on the market of treated articles is subject to the following condition:
                  The person responsible for the placing on the market of a treated article treated with or incorporating folpet shall ensure that the label of that treated article provides the information listed in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of the Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

                  9

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/629
   of 22 April 2015
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Finocchiona (PGI))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 15(1) and Article 52(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, Italy's application to register the name ‘Finocchiona’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2).

               (2)

               As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, that name should therefore be entered in the register.

               (3)

               In their letter dated 27 June 2013 requesting the name to be entered in the register, the Italian authorities informed the Commission that the companies Negrini Salumi S.A.S. (Renazzo di Cento Ferrara), Portalupi Salumi (Torino), Salumificio Pedrazzoli SpA (San Giovanni del Dosso — Mantova), Levoni SpA (Castellucchio — Mantova), Cesare Fiorucci SpA (Pomezia — Roma), Renzini SpA (Umbertide — Perugia), Agricola Italiana Alimentare SpA (San Martino Buon Albergo — Verona), Salumificio Subalpino SpA (Diano d'Alba — Cuneo) and Italia Alimentari SpA, formerly Industria Bussetana Insaccati Suini SpA (Settecani di Castelvetro di Modena), which are established on their territory outside the geographical area in question, had been legally marketing the product sold under the name ‘Finocchiona’, using this name continuously for at least five years, and that this point was noted during the national opposition procedure. These companies therefore met the requirements under Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1151/2012 for the granting of a transitional period in which to make legal use of the sales name after registration.

               (4)

               Since these companies meet the requirements laid down in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, they should be granted a transitional period of five years in which to use the name ‘Finocchiona’.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Agricultural Product Quality Policy Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name ‘Finocchiona’ (PGI) is hereby entered in the register.
   The name referred to in the first paragraph identifies a product in Class 1.2. Meat products (cooked, salted, smoked, etc.) set out in Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 668/2014 (3).
   Article 2
   The companies Negrini Salumi S.A.S. (Renazzo di Cento Ferrara), Portalupi Salumi (Torino), Salumificio Pedrazzoli SpA (San Giovanni del Dosso — Mantova), Levoni SpA (Castellucchio — Mantova), Cesare Fiorucci SpA (Pomezia — Roma), Renzini SpA (Umbertide — Perugia), Agricola Italiana Alimentare SpA (San Martino Buon Albergo — Verona), Salumificio Subalpino SpA (Diano d'Alba — Cuneo) and Italia Alimentari SpA, formerly Industria Bussetana Insaccati Suini SpA (Settecani di Castelvetro di Modena), are authorised to continue using the registered name ‘Finocchiona’ (PGI) for a transitional period of five years from the 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.

               The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

   Article 1
   The standard import values referred to in Article 136 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 are fixed in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
