According to the packaging it is recommended to take the product in small quantities (a spoonful per morning and evening, dilution with water, tea or juice possible but not mandatory).

The product, put up in a 500-ml bottle, is directly consumable as a beverage.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Additional Note 1(b) to Chapter 30, and by the wording of CN codes 2208 , 2208 90 and 2208 90 69 .

The product cannot be regarded as a medicament of Chapter 30. Neither the label, nor the accompanying user directions nor the packaging contains any information about the type and concentration of the active substance(s). Only the amount and type of plants or parts of plants used are mentioned. The conditions of Additional Note 1(b) to Chapter 30 are therefore not met.

The product is a spirituous beverage of heading 2208 , having the characteristics of a food supplement, designed to maintain general health or well-being, based on extracts from plants (see the Harmonised System Explanatory Note to heading 2208 , third paragraph, item 16).

and small quantities of vitamins and aroma preparations (flavourings)

The product is available in different flavours (for example, strawberry or orange). The fruit preparation consists of a fruit juice that is obtained from a fruit juice concentrate to which a stabiliser (pectin) is added.

The product, put up in a 65-ml bottle, is intended for direct consumption as a beverage.

2202 90 91

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 2202 , 2202 90 and 2202 90 91 .

Being directly consumable as a beverage, the product is covered by heading 2202 .

The product is excluded from heading 0403 because stanol esters are not added substances of a kind permitted in the products of chapter 4 (see the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to chapter 4, General, point (I), second paragraph). The product can therefore not be regarded as a liquid yogurt, flavoured or containing added fruit, nuts or cocoa, of heading 0403 .

Classification in heading 1901 is excluded because the product has the characteristics of a beverage of Chapter 22 (see the Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 1901 , point (III), second paragraph).

The colour of the product is greenish-white. The consistency of the substance is that of a common yogurt. Parts of the aloe vera can be seen in the substance.

The product is put up in containers holding 150 g.

1901 90 91

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 1901 , 1901 90 and 1901 90 91 .

Aloe vera is not a fruit of chapter 8, but a plant of chapter 6. Therefore the product does not meet the criteria of the wording of heading 0403 .

Food preparations based on dairy products are excluded from Chapter 4 (see Harmonized System Explanatory Note to chapter 4, General, point (I), last paragraph, point (a)).

The product is classifiable in heading 1901 as it contains, in addition to natural milk constituents, other ingredients of a kind not permitted in headings 0401 to 0404 (see the Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 1901 , point (III), first paragraph).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 162/2007

of 19 February 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to fertilisers for the purposes of adapting Annexes I and IV thereto to technical progress

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Section E of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 lists those types of inorganic micronutrient fertilisers which may be designated ‘EC fertiliser’ in accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation. The list includes a number of fertilisers in which the micronutrient is chemically combined with a chelating agent. A list of authorised chelating agents is provided in table E.3.1 of that Annex. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Section E of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 lists those types of inorganic micronutrient fertilisers which may be designated ‘EC fertiliser’ in accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation. The list includes a number of fertilisers in which the micronutrient is chemically combined with a chelating agent. A list of authorised chelating agents is provided in table E.3.1 of that Annex.

| (2) | The specification of the fertiliser type in which the chelated micronutrient is iron allows the use of either a single authorised chelating agent, or of a mixture of them, provided that chelated fraction can be quantified by the method described in European Standard EN 13366, and the individual chelating agents in the mixture can be separately identified and quantified by EN 13368. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The specification of the fertiliser type in which the chelated micronutrient is iron allows the use of either a single authorised chelating agent, or of a mixture of them, provided that chelated fraction can be quantified by the method described in European Standard EN 13366, and the individual chelating agents in the mixture can be separately identified and quantified by EN 13368.

| (3) | The provisions for iron micronutrient fertiliser containing chelated iron should be updated in three respects. First, to make clear that at least 50 % of the water-soluble iron must be chelated by the authorised chelating agents. Second, to specify that an authorised chelating agent can be mentioned on the fertiliser type designation only if it chelates at least 1 % of the water-soluble iron. Third, to generalise the reference to European Standards in order to allow the use of additional European Standards. |
| --- | --- |

First, to make clear that at least 50 % of the water-soluble iron must be chelated by the authorised chelating agents. Second, to specify that an authorised chelating agent can be mentioned on the fertiliser type designation only if it chelates at least 1 % of the water-soluble iron. Third, to generalise the reference to European Standards in order to allow the use of additional European Standards.

| (4) | The chemical names of the authorised chelating agents listed in section E.3.1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 are intended to distinguish between different isomers of the same substance in a descriptive way. As there are several different nomenclatures in common use in the scientific community for those substances, there is a risk of misidentification. In order to ensure unambiguous identification of the chelating agents, the corresponding CAS numbers (Chemical Abstracts Service of the American Chemical Society), which uniquely identify the different isomers of the chelating agents, should be provided for each entry of that Annex. It is therefore appropriate to delete three chelating agents isomers which cannot be unambiguously identified by a CAS number. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 16 February 2007

(notified under document number C(2007) 422)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/118/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treay establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (2), and in particular Article 23(1)(g) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2002/99/EC lays down conditions to ensure that at all stages of the production, processing and distribution of products of animal origin within the Community do not cause any spread of diseases transmissible to animals. To this end it does not only list various disease-related treatments to inactivate the causative pathogen but first of all provides for the specific marking of such restricted products. |

Directive 2002/99/EC lays down conditions to ensure that at all stages of the production, processing and distribution of products of animal origin within the Community do not cause any spread of diseases transmissible to animals. To this end it does not only list various disease-related treatments to inactivate the causative pathogen but first of all provides for the specific marking of such restricted products.

| (2) | The Directive, however, also provides for the possibility to lay down specific rules for its application, including the establishment of a special identification mark required for meat not authorised for placing on the market for animal health reasons. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The Directive, however, also provides for the possibility to lay down specific rules for its application, including the establishment of a special identification mark required for meat not authorised for placing on the market for animal health reasons.

| (3) | Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC, and in particular Article 23(1)(g) thereof, provides that poultry meat originating from holdings located in protection zones must not enter into intra-Community or international trade. For that reason such meat must, unless decided otherwise, bear the mark provided for in Annex II of Directive 2002/99/EC. |

(3)

Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC, and in particular Article 23(1)(g) thereof, provides that poultry meat originating from holdings located in protection zones must not enter into intra-Community or international trade. For that reason such meat must, unless decided otherwise, bear the mark provided for in Annex II of Directive 2002/99/EC.

| (4) | Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease (3) and in particular Article 9(2)(f)(i) and paragraph 4(c) requires that meat derived from poultry originating from protection or surveillance zones does not enter intra-Community and that it bears a mark which corresponds to the special identification mark provided for in Annex II of Directive 2002/99/EC. |

(4)

Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease (3) and in particular Article 9(2)(f)(i) and paragraph 4(c) requires that meat derived from poultry originating from protection or surveillance zones does not enter intra-Community and that it bears a mark which corresponds to the special identification mark provided for in Annex II of Directive 2002/99/EC.

| (5) | Certain Member States have informed the Commission that that identification mark has been poorly accepted by operators and customers in the industry. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for an alternative identification mark that Member States may decide to apply, instead of the mark provided for in Annex II to Directive 2002/99/EC. However, in the interests of controls, it is important that Member States inform the Commission beforehand, if they decide to apply the alternative identification mark in case of an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease. |
