It concluded that concerning the MRLs for beans (fresh, with pods), peas (fresh, without pods), beans (dry), lentils (dry), peas (dry), sunflower seeds, rape seeds, soya beans, maize, rice swine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), bovine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, fat, liver and kidney), goat (meat, fat, liver and kidney) and milk (from cattle, sheep and goat), some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for these products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |

| (9) | For methyl bromide, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) thereof (11). The non-inclusion of methyl bromide in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is provided for in Commission Decision 2008/753/EC (12) and confirmed in Commission Decision 2011/120/EU (13). No authorised uses in third countries have been notified. For methyl bromide the default MRLs cannot be quantified by control laboratories and it is therefore not appropriate to set any MRLs for this substance. However, methyl bromide is naturally transformed into bromide ion, for which MRLs quantifiable by control laboratories are already established. |

The non-inclusion of propanil in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is provided for in Commission Decision 2008/769/EC (15) and confirmed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1078/2011 (16). Considering that the use of propanil is no longer authorised within the Union and no authorised uses in third countries have been notified, it is appropriate to set the MRLs at the limit of determination or at the default MRL in accordance with Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. The MRLs set out for propanil in Annex III should therefore be deleted in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1)(a) thereof. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1148/2014

of 28 October 2014

amending Annexes II, VII, VIII, IX and X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies

(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 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specific cases to exports thereof. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specific cases to exports thereof.

| (2) | Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules governing the determination of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof. These rules are based on the international standard established by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (the Code). In the BSE chapter of the 2013 version of the Code, the expression ‘release assessment’ has been replaced by ‘entry assessment’, and the table providing the points targets for a country or region has been significantly amended to better meet the needs of countries with a small or very small cattle population. These amendments should be reflected in Annex II. |

These amendments should be reflected in Annex II.

| (3) | Point 2.2.1 of Chapter B of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 refers to the methods and protocols set out in Annex X. The wording of this point should be amended to reflect amendments to Annex X brought by this act. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Point 2.2.1 of Chapter B of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 refers to the methods and protocols set out in Annex X. The wording of this point should be amended to reflect amendments to Annex X brought by this act.

| (4) | Chapter A of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules governing intra-Union trade in live animals, semen and embryos, including the exemption of homozygous ovine ARR embryos from any other classical scrapie related requirement in intra-Union trade. On 24 January 2013, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted a scientific opinion on the risk of transmission of classical scrapie via in vivo derived embryo transfer in ovine animals (2), where it concluded that the risk of transmitting classical scrapie by the implantation of homozygous or heterozygous ovine ARR embryos could be considered negligible providing that the OIE recommendations and procedures relating to embryo transfer are adhered to. The relevant provisions of Annex VIII should therefore be amended to also exempt intra-Union trade of heterozygous ovine ARR embryos from any other classical scrapie related requirement. |

| (5) | In certain language versions of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, there is a terminology incoherence between Points 1.2. and 1.3 of Section A of Chapter A of Annex VIII to that Regulation and the rest of the text. For the sake of coherence, the same term should be used in the language versions concerned. |

In certain language versions of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, there is a terminology incoherence between Points 1.2. and 1.3 of Section A of Chapter A of Annex VIII to that Regulation and the rest of the text. For the sake of coherence, the same term should be used in the language versions concerned.

| (6) | Point 2 of Section A of Chapter A of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down the rules governing the approval of the negligible risk status for classical scrapie of a Member State or zone of a Member State. On 4 July 2013, Austria submitted to the Commission the appropriate supporting documentation. Given the favourable outcome of the assessment of this application by the Commission, Austria should be listed as a Member State with a negligible risk of classical scrapie. |

| (7) | Point 3.2 of Section A of Chapter A of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lists Member States with an approved national control programme for classical scrapie. Considering that Austria should be listed as a Member State with a negligible risk of classical scrapie, it should simultaneously be deleted from the list of Member States with an approved national control programme for classical scrapie, as this status offers guarantees over and above those offered in the control programme. |

Point 3.2 of Section A of Chapter A of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lists Member States with an approved national control programme for classical scrapie. Considering that Austria should be listed as a Member State with a negligible risk of classical scrapie, it should simultaneously be deleted from the list of Member States with an approved national control programme for classical scrapie, as this status offers guarantees over and above those offered in the control programme.

| (8) | Chapter H of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the import in the Union of ovine and caprine semen and embryos. These import rules should be updated to reflect amendments to Annex VIII brought by this act. |
| --- | --- |

(8)

Chapter H of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the import in the Union of ovine and caprine semen and embryos. These import rules should be updated to reflect amendments to Annex VIII brought by this act.

| (9) | Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down the methods of analysis applicable to TSE testing in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. This Annex should be reviewed to update the information on the designated laboratories, adjust the reference to various guidelines, harmonize some technical terms, and clarify the discriminatory testing process in case of positive TSE cases in ovine and caprine animals, in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge and current practices in the Union. |

| (10) | Point 4 of Chapter C of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 sets out the lists of rapid tests approved for the monitoring of TSEs in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. On 18 September 2013, IDEXX made an application in order that the name of the test IDEXX HerdChek BSE-Scrapie Antigen Test Kit, EIA be changed to HerdChek BSE-Scrapie Antigen (IDEXX Laboratories). The new package insert for this test has been approved by the European Union Reference laboratory for TSEs on 2 May 2013. Furthermore, on 6 December 2013, the Enfer Group informed that it has ceased the manufacture of the Enfer Version 3 TSE diagnostic kit and requested the deletion of this kit from the list of approved BSE rapid tests in bovine animals. The lists in point 4 of Chapter C of Annex X should therefore be adapted accordingly. |

CHAPTER C

Sampling and laboratory testing

1.   Sampling

Any samples intended to be examined for the presence of a TSE shall be collected using the methods and protocols laid down in the latest edition of the Manual for diagnostic tests and vaccines for Terrestrial Animals of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) (the Manual).

COMMISSION DECISION

of 27 October 2014

determining, pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, a list of sectors and subsectors which are deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage, for the period 2015 to 2019

(notified under document C(2014) 7809)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2014/746/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 10a(13) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2003/87/EC provides that auctioning should be the basic principle for allocation of greenhouse gas emission allowances to operators of installations within the scope of the Emission Trading System of the Union (‘EU ETS’) from 2013 onwards. However, eligible operators continue to receive free allowances between 2013 and 2020 in accordance with the rules set out in Directive 2003/87/EC and Commission Decision 2011/278/EU (2). |

(1)

Directive 2003/87/EC provides that auctioning should be the basic principle for allocation of greenhouse gas emission allowances to operators of installations within the scope of the Emission Trading System of the Union (‘EU ETS’) from 2013 onwards. However, eligible operators continue to receive free allowances between 2013 and 2020 in accordance with the rules set out in Directive 2003/87/EC and Commission Decision 2011/278/EU (2).

| (2) | The absence of an ambitious international agreement on climate change aiming to limit the global temperature increase to 2 °C could undermine the benefit of actions carried out by the Union. The absence of binding action at the international level could lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions in third countries where industry is not subject to comparable carbon constraints (‘carbon leakage’). To address this risk of carbon leakage, Directive 2003/87/EC provides that, subject to the outcome of the international negotiations, the Commission is to determine a list of sectors and subsectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage (‘list of sectors and subsectors’). Those sectors and subsectors should receive free allowances at 100 % of the quantity determined on the basis of Directive 2003/87/EC and Decision 2011/278/EU, subject to the cross-sectoral correction factor referred to in Article 10a(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC and set out in Annex II to Commission Decision 2013/448/EU (3). |

The absence of an ambitious international agreement on climate change aiming to limit the global temperature increase to 2 °C could undermine the benefit of actions carried out by the Union.

| (3) | In this respect, the Commission analysed the extent to which third countries representing a decisive share of global production of products in sectors and subsectors on the carbon leakage list firmly commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in those relevant sectors, and whether those commitments are comparable with those of the Union and are carried out within the same time-frame. In addition, the extent to which the efficiency of the installations located in those countries is comparable to the installations located in the Union was also examined. The Commission concluded that no sufficient comparability can be established on the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore the comparability of carbon efficiency is not relevant. |

The first list of sectors and subsectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage was established for 2013 and 2014 by Commission Decision 2010/2/EU (4) in 2009.

| (5) | The assessment should be based on a number of quantitative and qualitative criteria, and based on data from the three most recent years. In this regard, the Commission used data from the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, since data from 2012 were available for only some of the parameters. |

| (6) | In order to establish the list of sectors and subsectors, the Commission assessed the risk of carbon leakage of sectors and subsectors at NACE-4 level of the Statistical classification of economic activities in the Union in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). NACE-4 is the level with optimal data availability defining sectors precisely. A sector is denoted at a 4-digit level of the NACE classification, and a subsector is denoted at CPA (6-digit) or Prodcom (8-digit) level, that is, the classification of goods used for statistics on industrial production in the Union, following directly from the NACE classification. |

| (7) | The sectors were first assessed on the basis of the quantitative criteria set out in Article 10a(15) and (16) of Directive 2003/87/EC. To apply those quantitative criteria, the Commission had to determine the sum of direct and indirect additional costs induced by the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC. |

The sectors were first assessed on the basis of the quantitative criteria set out in Article 10a(15) and (16) of Directive 2003/87/EC. To apply those quantitative criteria, the Commission had to determine the sum of direct and indirect additional costs induced by the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC.

| (8) | The direct additional costs, induced by the quantity of allowances that a sector would need to purchase if not deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage, were calculated on the basis of the data on direct CO2 emissions at sectoral level. The data in the European Union Transaction Log (‘EUTL’) are considered to be the most accurate and transparent source of CO2 emissions data at installation level and have therefore been used to calculate the direct cost for sectors. For sectors and greenhouse gases only covered by the EU ETS from 1 January 2013, there are no emissions data in the EUTL available. Therefore, the Commission used the data on direct CO2 emissions provided by Member States in the National Implementation Measures (NIMs) pursuant to Decision 2011/278/EU in those cases. |

| (9) | In order to determine the indirect additional costs, the Commission collected data on electricity consumption at sectoral level from Member States, ensuring that no double counting of electricity consumed occurred between different NACE codes. To determine the emissions related to the production of electricity consumed by the different sectors for the list of sectors and subsectors in Decision 2010/2/EU, the Commission used the average emission factor derived from the total fuel mix for electricity production as it was considered to be based on the most accurate data. The same average emission factor has been used for the assessments underlying this Decision. |

The same average emission factor has been used for the assessments underlying this Decision.

| (10) | Furthermore, to determine the direct and indirect additional costs, the Commission had to estimate the average carbon price. In order to establish the first list of sectors and subsectors an assumed carbon price of EUR 30 per tonne of CO2 equivalent was used for the assessments. In the period of application of Decision 2010/2/EU, there has been a substantial difference between the carbon price assumed for the assessments and the actual carbon price, the latter one being considerably lower. However, the Commission has in its Communication entitled ‘A policy framework for the climate and energy in the period from 2020 to 2030’ (6) proposed a 40 % unconditional greenhouse gas emission reduction target by 2030 as compared to 1990 and a corresponding renewable energy sources target. The Commission has also proposed to establish a market stability reserve in the EU ETS. Under those circumstances, it is expected that the carbon price will in the future be more strongly driven by mid- and long-term emission reductions. It is therefore considered justified to continue using an assumed carbon price of EUR 30 per tonne of CO2 equivalent for the assessments underlying this Decision. |

| (13) | In total, the Commission assessed 245 industrial sectors and 24 subsectors classified under the ‘Mining and quarrying’ and ‘Manufacturing’ divisions of the NACE classification. The sectors and subsectors listed in point 1 of the Annex to this Decision meet the criteria set out in Article 10a(15) and (16) of Directive 2003/87/EC and should be deemed as exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage. |

| (14) | Assessments based on the qualitative criteria set out in Article 10a(17) of Directive 2003/87/EC have been carried out on a number of sectors that were not deemed to be exposed to the risk of carbon leakage based on the quantitative criteria set out in Article 10a(15) and (16). The qualitative assessment was carried out in cases which met the qualitative criteria in the context of the determination of the previous list, in cases of sectors considered to be borderline, and on request by industry representatives. |

The qualitative assessment was carried out in cases which met the qualitative criteria in the context of the determination of the previous list, in cases of sectors considered to be borderline, and on request by industry representatives.

| (15) | In the case of the sectors ‘Finishing of textiles’ (NACE code 1330), ‘Manufacture of bricks, tiles and construction products, in baked clay’ (NACE code 2332), ‘Manufacture of plaster products for construction purposes’ (NACE code 2362), ‘Casting of iron’ (NACE code 2451) and ‘Casting of light metals’ (2453), the qualitative assessments carried out in the context of the determination of the previous list of sectors and subsectors, valid for 2013 and 2014, have been updated. It was concluded that the circumstances justifying the addition of those sectors to the list of sectors and subsectors still prevail. Therefore, those sectors should be deemed as exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage also for the period 2015 to 2019. |

| (16) | A qualitative assessment was carried out for the sector ‘Manufacture of malt’ (NACE code 1106), as this sector represented a borderline case with regard to Article 10a(16b) of Directive 2003/87/EC. Taking into account the increased cost resulting from the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC, the assessment demonstrated high trade intensity and a significant drop in the profitability of the sector in the Union. The low profit margins limit the capacity of installations to invest and reduce emissions. Based on the combined impact of those factors, the sector should be deemed as exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage. |

(1)  The sector ‘Manufacture of glass fibres’ is described by two CPA codes: ‘
  231411 Slivers, rovings, yarn and chopped strands, of glass fibre’ and ‘
  231412 Voiles, webs, mats, mattresses, boards and other articles of glass fibres, except woven fabrics’. Assessed at the NACE-4 level, the sector does not meet the criteria set out in Article 10a(15) and (16) of Directive 2003/87/EC. However, subsector 231411 meets the criterion set out in Article 10a(16)(b), and subsector 231412 meets the criterion set out in Article 10a(15). As the two CPA codes cover the entire sector ‘Manufacture of glass fibres’, the sector is added to the list at NACE-4 level for ease of reference.
