COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/1910

of 21 October 2015

amending Annexes III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for guazatine in or on certain products

(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 14(1)(a) and 18(1)(b) and Article 49(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | For guazatine, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For guazatine, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

| (2) | The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs for guazatine in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substance guazatine have been revoked. Neither were import tolerances reported at Union level nor were Codex MRLs available. In the absence of information on specific good agricultural practices that could be used in a consumer risk assessment, the Authority concluded that a value of 0,05 mg/kg provides a satisfactory level of protection for the European consumers. It is therefore appropriate to set the MRLs at the specific limit of determination. It is also appropriate to change the residue definition. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs for guazatine in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substance guazatine have been revoked. Neither were import tolerances reported at Union level nor were Codex MRLs available. In the absence of information on specific good agricultural practices that could be used in a consumer risk assessment, the Authority concluded that a value of 0,05 mg/kg provides a satisfactory level of protection for the European consumers. It is therefore appropriate to set the MRLs at the specific limit of determination. It is also appropriate to change the residue definition.

| (3) | Moreover, Belgium indicated that the existing MRLs for guazatine in grapefruit and oranges may raise concerns of consumer protection. In particular, an acute consumer risk could not be excluded even by a refined risk assessment, taking into account a processing factor for citrus fruit. The European Commission and the Member States represented in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed considered it an appropriate risk management decision to lower the MRLs to a level that has been demonstrated to be safe for European consumers. |

The European Commission and the Member States represented in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed considered it an appropriate risk management decision to lower the MRLs to a level that has been demonstrated to be safe for European consumers.

| (4) | In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 an application was submitted for guazatine used on citrus fruits. In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 this application was evaluated by the Member State concerned and the evaluation report was forwarded to the Commission. The Authority assessed the application and the evaluation report, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave a reasoned opinion on the proposed MRLs (3). It forwarded this opinion to the Commission and the Member States and made it available to the public. It concluded in the opinion that it does not recommend setting the proposed MRLs since the available data were not sufficient to exclude a risk for European consumers. |

| (5) | The applicant requested an administrative review of the Authority's reasoned opinion according to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. This review led to the conclusion that no substantial flaws and errors of assessment on the part of the Authority were identified. |

(8)

In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been lawfully produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained.

| (9) | The transitional arrangement provided for by this Regulation should take the concerns of consumer protection with the existing MRLs for guazatine in grapefruit and oranges into account. |
| --- | --- |

(9)

The transitional arrangement provided for by this Regulation should take the concerns of consumer protection with the existing MRLs for guazatine in grapefruit and oranges into account.

| (10) | A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |
| --- | --- |

(10)

A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1912

of 23 October 2015

on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the October 2015 subperiod by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011

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 188 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 (2) opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 (2) opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Regulation.

| (2) | October is the only subperiod for the quota with order number 09.4138 provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011. This quota comprises the balance of the unused quantities from the quotas with order numbers 09.4127, 09.4128, 09.4129 and 09.4130 in the previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011, which comprise the balance of the unused quantities from the previous subperiod. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

October is the only subperiod for the quota with order number 09.4138 provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011. This quota comprises the balance of the unused quantities from the quotas with order numbers 09.4127, 09.4128, 09.4129 and 09.4130 in the previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011, which comprise the balance of the unused quantities from the previous subperiod.

| (3) | The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4138, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2015 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quota concerned, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3). |

Accordingly, the RASFF and TRACES applications should be enabled to provide data to the AAC system in order to streamline the process.

| (10) | Information exchanged concerning administrative assistance and cooperation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 may include the results of official controls performed on business operators and on premises and goods under their control, and information which permits the identification of such operators, premises or goods. Access to such information should be restricted to those officials who, given their function within the competent authorities, need the information for the purpose of verifying compliance with, or otherwise enforcing, food or feed law. |

(12)

This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles which are recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Decision seeks to ensure full respect for the right to protection of personal data.

| (13) | Where the exchange of information provided for in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and in this Decision involves the processing of personal data, a careful assessment should be carried out to ensure that the processing is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes of efficient administrative assistance and cooperation, and that such processing is in accordance with the national provisions implementing Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Where exemptions and restrictions of certain rights of the data subjects and obligations of the data controller laid down by Directive 95/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 are considered in order to safeguard the interests referred to in Article 13(1)(d) and (f) of Directive 95/46/EC and in Article 20(1)(a) and (e) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, those exemptions and restrictions may only be adopted if they are necessary and proportionate to the objective pursued. Restrictions to the rights of data subjects should constitute a necessary measure to prevent interference with the official control tasks of the competent authorities and with the assessment of compliance with food law or feed law. In particular, rights of the data subjects may be restricted, in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, during the period in which actions are carried out for the purpose of sighting or discrete surveillance, where granting them would jeopardise or undermine the purpose of official controls or investigations. In order to guarantee a high level of data protection, it is appropriate to establish a maximum timeframe to ensure that personal data do not remain in the AAC system longer than it is necessary to achieve compliance with the rules laid down in Title IV of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. In particular, a retention period of 5 years, starting from the closure of the administrative assistance and cooperation procedure, should be established, after which time personal data should be removed from the AAC system. The length of the retention period is necessary to give the possibility to the liaison bodies and the Commission to consult the information over a sufficient period of time after the administrative assistance and cooperation procedure has been closed, in order to ascertain the timely identification of reoccurring, connected or widespread non-compliance with food or feed law. |
