COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/703

of 26 April 2021

amending Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 as regards certain fishing opportunities for 2021 in Union and non-Union waters

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Regulation (EU) 2021/91 (1) establishes, for the years 2021 and 2022, the fishing opportunities for Union fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. Council Regulation (EU) 2021/92 (2) fixes for 2021 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Council Regulation (EU) 2021/91 (1) establishes, for the years 2021 and 2022, the fishing opportunities for Union fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. Council Regulation (EU) 2021/92 (2) fixes for 2021 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters.

| (2) | The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part (3) (‘the Trade and Cooperation Agreement’) applies provisionally from 1 January 2021. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part (3) (‘the Trade and Cooperation Agreement’) applies provisionally from 1 January 2021.

| (3) | The fishing opportunities in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 for stocks shared with certain third countries are provisional and in quantitative terms limited to a three-month rollover based on Council Regulations (EU) 2020/123 (4) and (EU) 2018/2025 (5). In a very limited number of cases, a different methodology was used for stocks that are predominantly fished at the beginning of the year or where scientific advice required severe reductions in fishing opportunities. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The fishing opportunities in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 for stocks shared with certain third countries are provisional and in quantitative terms limited to a three-month rollover based on Council Regulations (EU) 2020/123 (4) and (EU) 2018/2025 (5). In a very limited number of cases, a different methodology was used for stocks that are predominantly fished at the beginning of the year or where scientific advice required severe reductions in fishing opportunities.

| (4) | In accordance with Article 499(2) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the provisional total allowable catches (TACs) aim to ensure the continuation of sustainable Union fishing activities until the consultations between the Union and the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 498 of that Agreement are concluded and implemented in the Union legal order. They were set at levels consistent with what is allowed under Article 499 of that Agreement. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In accordance with Article 499(2) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the provisional total allowable catches (TACs) aim to ensure the continuation of sustainable Union fishing activities until the consultations between the Union and the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 498 of that Agreement are concluded and implemented in the Union legal order. They were set at levels consistent with what is allowed under Article 499 of that Agreement.

| (5) | The consultations between the Union and the United Kingdom are still ongoing. Therefore, Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 need to be amended in order to extend provisional unilateral Union TACs in order to create legal certainty for the Union operators and to ensure the continuation of sustainable fishing activities until those consultations are concluded in compliance with the Union legal framework and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. |

The consultations between the Union and the United Kingdom are still ongoing. Therefore, Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 need to be amended in order to extend provisional unilateral Union TACs in order to create legal certainty for the Union operators and to ensure the continuation of sustainable fishing activities until those consultations are concluded in compliance with the Union legal framework and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

| (6) | This approach is based on Article 499(2) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which provides that, if a stock listed in Annex 35 to that Agreement or in Tables A and B of Annex 36 to that Agreement remains without an agreed TAC, each Party is to set a provisional TAC corresponding to the level advised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), applying from 1 January. Pursuant to Article 499(3) to (5) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and by way of derogation from paragraph 2 of that Article, the TACs for special stocks shall be set in accordance with the guidelines to be adopted by the Specialised Committee on Fisheries by 1 July 2021. |
| --- | --- |

This approach is based on Article 499(2) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which provides that, if a stock listed in Annex 35 to that Agreement or in Tables A and B of Annex 36 to that Agreement remains without an agreed TAC, each Party is to set a provisional TAC corresponding to the level advised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), applying from 1 January.

| (7) | Therefore, as a general approach, the provisional fishing opportunities for the Union should be based on the ICES advice for 2021, and, for deep-sea stocks, also for 2022, when available. They should correspond to the Union share agreed under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. |

Therefore, as a general approach, the provisional fishing opportunities for the Union should be based on the ICES advice for 2021, and, for deep-sea stocks, also for 2022, when available. They should correspond to the Union share agreed under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

| (8) | As a general approach, the provisional TACs should be extended until 31 July 2021 and should correspond to a ratio of seven twelfths or 58,3 % of the annual catch level advised by ICES for 2021 and, for deep-sea stocks, also for 2022. In certain cases, they should correspond to that ratio of the Union position in the ongoing consultations with the United Kingdom as defined in the Council Decision of 5 March 2021 establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the Union in the consultations with the United Kingdom and as further specified in accordance with that Decision. |

| (9) | This level is considered in principle to be sufficient for the Union fishing vessels at least until 31 July 2021, which is one month after the date by which the guidelines for special stocks need to be agreed with the United Kingdom. |

This level is considered in principle to be sufficient for the Union fishing vessels at least until 31 July 2021, which is one month after the date by which the guidelines for special stocks need to be agreed with the United Kingdom.

| (10) | For a limited number of stocks, the provisional TACs should correspond to a higher ratio of the advised annual catch level in order to take into account the seasonality of fishing activities for those stocks. |

For a limited number of stocks, the provisional TACs should correspond to a higher ratio of the advised annual catch level in order to take into account the seasonality of fishing activities for those stocks.

| (11) | Without prejudice to, and taking into account the absence of, the guidelines for special stocks, the TACs for those stocks are consistent with Article 499 of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. |

Without prejudice to, and taking into account the absence of, the guidelines for special stocks, the TACs for those stocks are consistent with Article 499 of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

| (12) | The Union, on the one hand, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other hand, are expected to conclude a sustainable fisheries partnership agreement, as the previous agreement expired on 31 December 2020. The Council should therefore fix fishing opportunities resulting from that agreement, taking into account exchanges of fishing opportunities with third countries. Those fishing opportunities should be effective from the date of provisional application of that agreement. |

| (13) | Member States should make use of any applicable inter-area, inter-species and inter-annual flexibilities in a way which ensures that the overall level of Union catches in 2021 does not exceed the Union share of the maximum TAC level which the Union may set under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. |

| (14) | Taking into account the ratio that is applied, the quota uptake, the conditions for the use of flexibilities, as well as other conditions stipulated in existing Union legislation, in accordance with Article 499(7) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the provisional TACs respect the Union shares agreed under that Agreement, as set out in Annexes 35 and 36 thereto. |

| (15) | The provisional TACs also comply with the applicable Union legal framework, in particular Articles 4, 5(3) and 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/472 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and Articles 4, 5(3) and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2018/973 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). They are based on the level advised by ICES, while taking into account the particular situation of stocks caught in a mixed fishery that may be affected by ‘choke’ situations, having regard to ICES advice on mixed fisheries and on unavoidable by-catches. |

(15)

The provisional TACs also comply with the applicable Union legal framework, in particular Articles 4, 5(3) and 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/472 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and Articles 4, 5(3) and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2018/973 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). They are based on the level advised by ICES, while taking into account the particular situation of stocks caught in a mixed fishery that may be affected by ‘choke’ situations, having regard to ICES advice on mixed fisheries and on unavoidable by-catches.

| (16) | There are certain stocks for which ICES has issued scientific advice for no catches. If TACs for those stocks are established at the level indicated in the scientific advice, the obligation to land all catches, including by-catches from those stocks, in mixed fisheries would lead to the phenomenon of ‘choke species’. In order to strike the right balance between continuing fisheries in view of the potentially severe socio-economic implications and the need to achieve a good biological status for those stocks, taking into account the difficulty of fishing all stocks in a mixed fishery at maximum sustainable yield (MSY) at the same time, it is appropriate to establish specific TACs for by-catches for those stocks. The level of those TACs should be such that mortality for those stocks is decreased and that it provides incentives for improvements in selectivity and avoidance of catches of those stocks. In order to reduce catches of the stocks for which by-catch TACs are set, fishing opportunities for the fisheries in which fish from those stocks are caught should be set at levels that help the biomass of vulnerable stocks to recover to sustainable levels. |

| (17) | These fishing opportunities should in no circumstances prejudge the establishment of the fishing opportunities in accordance with the outcome of the consultations with the United Kingdom, the guidelines on special stocks to be agreed with the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 499(5) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the Union legal framework. |

| (18) | According to scientific advice, the spawning-stock biomass of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in the Celtic Sea, the Channel, the Irish Sea and the southern North Sea (ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7a, and 7d to 7h) has been declining since 2009 and is currently below MSY Btrigger and just above Blim. Due to the measures taken by the Union, the fishing mortality has decreased and is currently below FMSY. However, recruitment is low, fluctuating without trend since 2008. Therefore, the catch limits should be continued, while ensuring that the target fishing mortality for this stock is in line with MSY. |

| (19) | In Regulation (EU) 2021/92, the TAC for sandeels in ICES divisions 2a and 3a and in ICES subarea 4 was set at zero pending the publication of the relevant scientific advice, provided by ICES, which became available on 25 February 2021. The fishery for sandeels, which are a short-lived species, starts on 1 April, shortly after the publication of the scientific advice. |

Furthermore, Article 14 of that Regulation establishes a prohibition from 1 January to 31 March 2021 for vessels fishing for sandeels using certain gears in ICES divisions 2a and 3a and in ICES subarea 4. As this Regulation establishes fishing opportunities for the entire fishing year, that prohibition should also cover the period from 1 August to 31 December 2021, as in 2020. |

| (22) | In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements on fisheries relations with Norway and in accordance with the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Union has held trilateral consultations with the United Kingdom and Norway and bilateral consultations with Norway on fishing rights for stocks. The fishing opportunities for North Sea cod should be established in order to ensure a level playing field for Union operators and to provide for the recovery of that stock. In accordance with the procedure provided for in the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union, of the one part, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, of the other part and the implementing Protocol thereto, the Joint Committee has established the level of fishing opportunities available for the Union in Greenland waters in 2021. It is therefore necessary to include those fishing opportunities in this Regulation. |

of 26 February 2021

amending Regulation (EU) 2018/196 of the European Parliament and of the Council on additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/196 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 February 2018 on additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (‘CDSOA’) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organization (‘WTO’) agreements, pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/196 a 4,3 % ad valorem additional customs duty was imposed on imports of certain products originating in the United States. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Union at that time. In 2020, the level of suspension was adjusted to 0,012 % ad valorem additional customs duty and Regulation (EU) 2018/196 was amended accordingly (2). |

In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Union at that time. In 2020, the level of suspension was adjusted to 0,012 % ad valorem additional customs duty and Regulation (EU) 2018/196 was amended accordingly (2).

| (2) | The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2020 (1 October 2019–30 September 2020). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 236 314,72. |

On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 236 314,72.

| (3) | The level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has increased. However, the level of suspension cannot be adjusted to the level of nullification or impairment in accordance with Article 3(1)(c) by adding or removing products from the list in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/196, as all products from the list in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/196 have already been added to Annex I. As a consequence, in accordance with Article 3(1)(e) of that Regulation, the Commission should keep the list of products in Annex I unchanged and amend the rate of the additional duty in order to adjust the level of suspension to the level of nullification or impairment. The four products listed in Annex I should therefore be maintained on the list and the rate of additional import duty should be amended and set at 0,1 %. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/705

of 28 April 2021

amending Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 as regards the required number of incremental samples and the performance criteria for some methods of analysis

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 34(6) thereof,

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 (2) lays down the methods of sampling and analysis to be used for the official control of the levels of trace elements and processing contaminants in foodstuffs.

| (2) | The sampling methods currently provided for in Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 provide that an aggregate sample of at least 1 kg is to be taken. For food supplements, dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, which have high cost per unit weight, this results in a disproportionately high sample cost. Therefore, specific sampling methods should be provided for with regard to these commodities. |

ANNEX

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 333/2007 is amended as follows:

| (1) | point B.2.2. is replaced by the following:
  ‘B.2.2.   Number of incremental samples

  For food, other than food supplements, dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, the aggregate sample shall be at least 1 kilogram or 1 litre, except where it is not possible, e.g. when the sample consists of 1 package or unit.
  For food supplements, dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen the aggregate sample shall be at least 100 grams or 100 millilitres.
  For food, other than food supplements, the minimum number of incremental samples to be taken from the lot or sublot shall be in accordance with Table 3.
  In the case of bulk liquid products, the lot or sublot shall be thoroughly mixed in so far as possible and in so far it does not affect the quality of the product, by either manual or mechanical means immediately prior to sampling. In this case, a homogeneous distribution of contaminants shall be assumed within a given lot or sublot. Therefore the number of incremental samples from a lot or sublot to form the aggregate sample shall be three.
  Where the lot or sublot consists of individual packages or units, for food, other than food supplements, the number of packages or units (incremental samples) to be taken to form the aggregate sample shall be in accordance with Table 4a.
  The incremental samples shall be of similar weight/volume. For food, other than food supplements, dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, the weight/volume of an incremental sample shall be at least 100 grams or 100 millilitres, resulting in an aggregate sample of at least about 1 kilogram or 1 litre.
  For dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, the weight/volume of an incremental sample shall be at least 35 grams or 35 millilitres, resulting in an aggregate sample of at least 100 grams or 100 millilitres.
  The maximum levels for inorganic tin apply to the contents of each can, but for practical reasons an aggregate sampling approach may be used. If the result of the test for an aggregate sample of cans is less than but close to the maximum level of inorganic tin and if it is suspected that individual cans might exceed the maximum level, then further investigations shall be conducted.
  For food supplements the minimum number and size of the incremental samples shall be in accordance with Table 4b.
  Where it is not possible to carry out the method of sampling set out in this point B.2. because of the unacceptable commercial consequences (e.g. because of packaging forms, damage to the lot) or where it is practically impossible to apply the method of sampling provided for in this point B.2., an alternative method of sampling may be applied provided that it is sufficiently representative for the sampled lot or sublot and is fully documented. This shall be recorded in the record provided for in point B.1.8.

For food, other than food supplements, dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, the weight/volume of an incremental sample shall be at least 100 grams or 100 millilitres, resulting in an aggregate sample of at least about 1 kilogram or 1 litre.

For dried spices or herbs, dried fungi, algae or lichen, the weight/volume of an incremental sample shall be at least 35 grams or 35 millilitres, resulting in an aggregate sample of at least 100 grams or 100 millilitres.
