COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 755/2012

of 16 August 2012

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 as regards the eligibility of specific costs of environmental actions under operational programmes of producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 103h in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishes a common organisation of agricultural markets which includes the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. Pursuant to Article 103c(3) of that Regulation, Member States are required to provide that operational programmes in the fruit and vegetables sector include two or more environmental actions or that at least 10 % of the expenditure under the operational programmes covers environmental actions. That Regulation also provides that support for environmental actions has to cover additional costs and income foregone resulting from the action. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishes a common organisation of agricultural markets which includes the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. Pursuant to Article 103c(3) of that Regulation, Member States are required to provide that operational programmes in the fruit and vegetables sector include two or more environmental actions or that at least 10 % of the expenditure under the operational programmes covers environmental actions. That Regulation also provides that support for environmental actions has to cover additional costs and income foregone resulting from the action.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 60(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), Annex IX to that Implementing Regulation sets out the list of actions or expenditure not eligible for support under operational programmes. However, it indicates that specific costs for environmental measures, including costs generated by environmental management of packaging are, as an exception, eligible. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 60(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), Annex IX to that Implementing Regulation sets out the list of actions or expenditure not eligible for support under operational programmes. However, it indicates that specific costs for environmental measures, including costs generated by environmental management of packaging are, as an exception, eligible.

| (3) | Experience in applying environmental actions related to management of packaging shows that there are uncertainties about the net environmental benefits resulting from those actions and/or the fact that they effectively result in additional costs and income foregone being borne by the producer organisations and, thus, about the justification for the public support provided. Moreover, both the management and the control of those actions have proved to be complex, in particular, in respect of the calculation of the support that can be granted. Based on that experience and in order to encourage the implementation of more cost-effective environmental actions and to reduce the costs related to the management of the Union regime, it is appropriate to abandon support to environmental actions related to management of packaging. |

of 20 August 2012

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 430/2010 of 20 May 2010 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) removed the obligation to provide an exit summary declaration for goods which are supplied for incorporation as parts of or accessories in vessels and aircraft, motor fuels, lubricants and gas necessary for the operation of vessels or aircraft, foodstuffs, and other items to be consumed or sold on board. Annex 30a to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be adapted accordingly. |

Annex 30a to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be adapted accordingly.

| (2) | Pursuant to Annex 30a to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, information about the consignee is mandatory in an exit summary declaration. However, where the goods are carried under a negotiable bill of lading that is ‘to order blank endorsed’, the consignee is unknown. In that case a specific code should be used to show that the consignee particulars are unknown. |

In that case a specific code should be used to show that the consignee particulars are unknown.

| (3) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade (4) has been replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 113/2010 of 9 February 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries, as regards trade coverage, definition of the data, compilation of statistics on trade by business characteristics and by invoicing currency, and specific goods or movements (5). It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. |

It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

| (4) | Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (6) lays down conditions for exemption from payment of the VAT due upon importation. One of the conditions is that at the time of importation, the importer must have provided to the competent authorities of the Member State of importation certain information. It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to provide a harmonised solution for indicating that information in the customs declaration. The obligation to provide the information required by Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC should be stated in the description of Box 44 in Annex 37. |

| (5) | Since a Community transit operation may take place in Andorra and San Marino, a reference to those countries should be added to the reference to the EFTA countries in Annex 37 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, in order to reflect the fact that the guarantee or guarantee waiver may be not valid in one or more EFTA countries, nor in Andorra or in San Marino. |

The reference to Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be updated.

| (7) | In 2010 the eighth version of the Incoterms rules (‘Incoterms 2010’) has been established. The Incoterms codes as amended by the Incoterms 2010 should therefore be set out in Annex 38 in order to update the delivery terms. |

| (8) | Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 contains a list of packaging codes based upon the list of Coded representations of packaging type names used in international trade set out in Annexes V and VI to Recommendation No 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Due to the revision of the code list following a technological development, it is appropriate to replace the list in Annex 38 by the latest version resulting from Revision 8.1 of Recommendation No 21. |

Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 contains a list of packaging codes based upon the list of Coded representations of packaging type names used in international trade set out in Annexes V and VI to Recommendation No 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Due to the revision of the code list following a technological development, it is appropriate to replace the list in Annex 38 by the latest version resulting from Revision 8.1 of Recommendation No 21.

| (9) | Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC (9) provides that excise goods may be moved under a duty suspension arrangement within the customs territory of the Community, including where the goods are moved via a third country or a third territory from the place of importation to any of the destinations referred to in Article 17(1)(a) of that Directive. The respective codes in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be adapted to reflect the cases where no excise duties are paid upon importation. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 757/2012

of 20 August 2012

suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Review Group,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2). |

Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2).

| (2) | A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 of 17 August 2011 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3). |

(2)

A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 of 17 August 2011 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3).

| (3) | On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not suspended. The introduction of the following species should therefore be suspended: | Canis lupus (hunting trophies) from Mongolia and Tajikistan; |

ANNEX

FRAMEWORK

The aims of the criteria

The criteria aim, in particular, at promoting the environmental efficiency of de-inkability and recyclability for printed paper products, the reduction of VOC emissions, the reduction or prevention of risks for the environment and for human health related to the use of hazardous substances. The criteria are set at levels that promote the labelling of printed paper products that have a low environmental impact.

CRITERIA

These criteria are set for each of the following aspects:

| 1. | Substrate |
| --- | --- |

Information appearing on the EU Ecolabel

Criteria 1, 3, 8, 9 and 10 apply to the final printed paper product.

Criterion 2 applies both to the non-paper components of the printed paper product and to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components.

Criteria 4, 5, 6 and 7 apply to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components only.

These criteria apply to all such processes undertaken at the site or sites where the printed paper product is manufactured. If there are printing, coatings and finishing processes exclusively used for ecolabelled products, criteria 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall apply only to those processes.

The ecological criteria do not cover the transport of raw materials, consumables and final products.

Assessment and verification requirements

The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated within each criterion.

All printing on the printed paper product shall fulfil the criteria. Parts of the product that are printed by a sub-contractor shall therefore also fulfil the printing requirements. The application shall include a list of all the printing houses and subcontractors involved in the production of the printed paper, and their geographic locations.

The applicant shall provide a list of chemical products used in the printing house for the production of the printed paper products.
