of 30 October 2020

amending Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain information to be provided on the labelling of organic products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1), and in particular Article 23(2)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 lays down production rules applicable to organic production, while Annex III to that Regulation set out rules on, inter alia, packaging and transport of organic and in-conversion products. In particular, point 2.1 of that Annex requires certain information to be stated on the label or on an accompanying document. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 lays down production rules applicable to organic production, while Annex III to that Regulation set out rules on, inter alia, packaging and transport of organic and in-conversion products. In particular, point 2.1 of that Annex requires certain information to be stated on the label or on an accompanying document.

| (2) | The feeding of livestock and aquatic animals with organic feed is one of the principles of organic production. However, the production rules allow, under certain conditions, the use of certain non-organic and in-conversion feed materials. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The feeding of livestock and aquatic animals with organic feed is one of the principles of organic production. However, the production rules allow, under certain conditions, the use of certain non-organic and in-conversion feed materials.

| (3) | In order to comply with organic production rules, the operators should be appropriately informed as regards the feed they use. In particular, they should know whether the feed is authorised in organic production, what is its exact composition and the proportion of organic, in-conversion and non-organic compounds of the feed. |

(3)

In order to comply with organic production rules, the operators should be appropriately informed as regards the feed they use. In particular, they should know whether the feed is authorised in organic production, what is its exact composition and the proportion of organic, in-conversion and non-organic compounds of the feed.

| (4) | Plant reproductive material, including seeds, used for the organic production of plants or plant products has to be organic in accordance with point 1.8.1 of Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848. However, due to the unavailability of organic plant reproductive material for certain species, subspecies or varieties, point 1.8.5 of Part I of that Annex allows the use of in-conversion plant reproductive material and provides for the authorisation to use non-organic plant reproductive material under certain conditions. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Plant reproductive material, including seeds, used for the organic production of plants or plant products has to be organic in accordance with point 1.8.1 of Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848. However, due to the unavailability of organic plant reproductive material for certain species, subspecies or varieties, point 1.8.5 of Part I of that Annex allows the use of in-conversion plant reproductive material and provides for the authorisation to use non-organic plant reproductive material under certain conditions.

| (5) | Pursuant to Council Directive 66/401/EEC (2), seeds in mixtures of various genera, species or varieties of fodder plants may be placed on the market, provided that, inter alia, the percentage by weight of the various components, shown by species and, where appropriate, by variety, is reported on the official label. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Pursuant to Council Directive 66/401/EEC (2), seeds in mixtures of various genera, species or varieties of fodder plants may be placed on the market, provided that, inter alia, the percentage by weight of the various components, shown by species and, where appropriate, by variety, is reported on the official label.

| (6) | In view of the importance of the use of mixtures of fodder plant seeds to grant high nutritional quality of fodder, and including when not intended for use as fodder plants, to improve the adaptability of the plants to the regional agronomic conditions and to increase soil fertility and biodiversity, in particular when the seeds mixtures are used in agronomic practices for soil and water conservation such as cover crops and taking into account the lack of available organic or in-conversion seeds, it is possible to use seeds mixtures in compliance with organic production rules, even when containing organic and, in-conversion and authorised non-organic seeds of different plant species. For that purpose, precise information on the presence and amount of organic and in-conversion components of the mixtures should be available for the users, without prejudice to the requirements and information required under Directive 66/401/EEC. |

For that purpose, precise information on the presence and amount of organic and in-conversion components of the mixtures should be available for the users, without prejudice to the requirements and information required under Directive 66/401/EEC.

| (7) | However, the label of the packaging of such mixtures should also indicate that their use is allowed only within the scope of the authorisation issued under point 1.8.5 of Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and therefore, only in the territory of the Member State of the competent authority who granted it. |

| (12) | As regards all applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain them, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded. |

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2011/65/EU requires Member States to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market does not contain the hazardous substances listed in Annex II to that Directive. That restriction does not apply to certain exempted applications listed in Annex III to that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 2011/65/EU requires Member States to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market does not contain the hazardous substances listed in Annex II to that Directive. That restriction does not apply to certain exempted applications listed in Annex III to that Directive.

| (2) | The categories of electrical and electronic equipment to which Directive 2011/65/EU applies are listed in Annex I to that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The categories of electrical and electronic equipment to which Directive 2011/65/EU applies are listed in Annex I to that Directive.

| (3) | Lead and hexavalent chromium are restricted substances listed in Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Lead and hexavalent chromium are restricted substances listed in Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU.

| (4) | On 19 January 2018, the Commission received an application made in accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2011/65/EU for an exemption to be listed in Annex III to that Directive, for the use of lead and hexavalent chromium compounds in electric and electronic initiators of explosives for civil (professional) use (‘the requested exemption’). |
| --- | --- |

(4)

On 19 January 2018, the Commission received an application made in accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2011/65/EU for an exemption to be listed in Annex III to that Directive, for the use of lead and hexavalent chromium compounds in electric and electronic initiators of explosives for civil (professional) use (‘the requested exemption’).

| (5) | The evaluation of the request included stakeholder consultations in accordance with Article 5(7) of Directive 2011/65/EU. The comments received during these consultations were made publicly available on a dedicated website. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The evaluation of the request included stakeholder consultations in accordance with Article 5(7) of Directive 2011/65/EU. The comments received during these consultations were made publicly available on a dedicated website.

| (6) | Certain lead and hexavalent chromium compounds are used in essential parts of electric and electronic initiators (EEI), such as electric fuseheads, primary explosive charges and pyrotechnic delay charges. EEI are a part of electric and electronic detonators that are primarily used for mining of minerals, construction and demolition activities, as well as in components of integrated rescue systems. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Certain lead and hexavalent chromium compounds are used in essential parts of electric and electronic initiators (EEI), such as electric fuseheads, primary explosive charges and pyrotechnic delay charges. EEI are a part of electric and electronic detonators that are primarily used for mining of minerals, construction and demolition activities, as well as in components of integrated rescue systems.

| (7) | Currently, there are no alternatives for lead diazide, lead styphnate, lead dipicramate, orange lead (lead tetroxide), lead dioxide in EEI and for barium chromate in long time pyrotechnic delay charges of EEI available on the market which would meet all essential requirements in order to ensure safe operation of EEI. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

Currently, there are no alternatives for lead diazide, lead styphnate, lead dipicramate, orange lead (lead tetroxide), lead dioxide in EEI and for barium chromate in long time pyrotechnic delay charges of EEI available on the market which would meet all essential requirements in order to ensure safe operation of EEI.

| (8) | Due to the lack of alternatives, a substitution or elimination of lead diazide, lead styphnate, lead dipicramate, orange lead (lead tetroxide), lead dioxide and barium chromate is scientifically and technically impracticable in certain EEI components. The exemption is consistent with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and thus does not weaken the environmental and health protection afforded by it. |

COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2021/649

of 16 April 2021

on Union support for activities of the ATT Secretariat in support of the implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 28(1) and 31(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

Whereas:

| (1) | The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on 2 April 2013 through its Resolution A/RES/67/234 B. The ATT was subsequently opened for signature on 3 June 2013 and entered into force on 24 December 2014. All Member States are parties to the ATT. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on 2 April 2013 through its Resolution A/RES/67/234 B. The ATT was subsequently opened for signature on 3 June 2013 and entered into force on 24 December 2014. All Member States are parties to the ATT.

| (2) | The ATT aims to establish the highest possible common international standards for regulating or improving the regulation of the international trade in conventional arms and to prevent and eradicate the illicit trade in conventional arms and prevent their diversion. Key challenges in achieving the aims of the ATT are its effective implementation by States Parties to the ATT (‘States Parties’) and its universalisation, bearing in mind that regulating international arms trade is by definition a global endeavour. To contribute to addressing those challenges, the Council adopted Decision 2013/768/CFSP (1) on 16 December 2013 and Decision (CFSP) 2017/915 (2) on 29 May 2017, thereby enlarging the export control-related assistance portfolio of the Union with activities specific to the ATT. |

PROJECT DOCUMENT

1.   Projects

1.1.   Project 1: Support for capacity building of ATT national points of contact

1.1.1.   Overall project objective

To build the capacity of States Parties national points of contact, including increasing their knowledge of ATT obligations and raising their awareness with respect to ATT process developments.

1.1.2.   Background

Upon the recommendation of the Working Group on Transparency and Reporting, the 3rd Conference of State Parties mandated the ATT Secretariat to ‘prepare a guidance document for National Points of Contact describing the role and possible tasks for that function, including that of ensuring that mandatory ATT reporting is prepared and submitted in a timely and complete fashion’. Beyond this, the ATT Secretariat has identified a need to ensure national points of contact participate in ATT meetings – including preparatory and Working Group meetings – in a constructive way.

1.2.   Project 2: Expert roster (training the trainers)

1.2.1.   Overall project objective

To build the capacity of local and regional ATT experts to provide advice and training on ATT implementation at the local and regional levels in order to reduce the reliance on international consultants and organisations, improve the quality of training and implementation assistance and to contribute to better tailoring capacity-building efforts.

1.2.2.   Background

While some Voluntary Trust Fund (VTF) projects have been implemented with the support of local organisations and national or regional consultants, the majority of VTF projects that have been implemented since the VTF was established by the 2nd Conference of State Parties have involved/engaged international experts and/or a project implementing partner that is an international organisation (such as a UN entity) or an international NGO. Continued reliance on international expertise is not efficient or sustainable for the following reasons:

| (1) | The international travel required for international experts to attend and facilitate training workshops and the daily fees or honoraria demanded by international experts are expensive (relative to the costs associated with engaging a local or regional expert); and |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The international travel required for international experts to attend and facilitate training workshops and the daily fees or honoraria demanded by international experts are expensive (relative to the costs associated with engaging a local or regional expert); and

| (2) | Continued reliance on international experts does not build the capacity and expertise of local and regional consultants, who may be able to provide sustained and tailored training and implementation assistance over the longer-term. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Continued reliance on international experts does not build the capacity and expertise of local and regional consultants, who may be able to provide sustained and tailored training and implementation assistance over the longer-term.

In addition, it is clear from VTF experience that some consultants and organisations would require development support in order to fully undertake their roles in the ATT implementation projects. The ATT Secretariat would like to address the issues of dependence on international consultants and organisations and the quality of some of the training and assistance provided through a project that seeks to build the capacity of local and regional consultants to provide training and implementation assistance.

1.2.3.   Activities and outputs

This project would involve the following activities/deliverables:

| (a) | Designing a ‘train the trainers’ workshop that would build the capacity of local and regional consultants to deliver quality training and implementation assistance; |

1.3.   Project 3: Support for a matching needs and resources database

1.3.1.   Overall project objective

To develop a mechanism for the matching of offers of and requests for assistance for Treaty implementation in order to reduce the duplication and overlap of ATT assistance projects and increase the number of States that receive targeted assistance.

1.3.2.   Background

Under Article 18(3)(c) of the ATT, the ATT Secretariat is mandated to ‘Facilitate the matching of offers of and requests for assistance for Treaty implementation’. While States Parties are encouraged to seek assistance, where needed, and provide assistance, upon request, there is no formal mechanism for seeking or offering assistance under the ATT. Furthermore, the current reporting templates do not include a facility to request or offer assistance (as templates in other processes – such as the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons – do). The ATT Secretariat would like to explore the options for developing a database or other mechanism for matching needs and resources for ATT implementation in fulfilment of its obligation under the Treaty and to enhance international cooperation and assistance.

1.3.3.   Activities and outputs

This project would involve the following activities/deliverables:

| (a) | Exploring options for establishing a mechanism for matching needs and resources, including through a comparative review of existing mechanisms in other fora, as well as consultations with both recipients and donors; |

2.   Considerations

2.1.   Ensuring complementarity with ongoing ATT outreach

The ATT Secretariat is familiar with other funds engaged in funding ATT implementation-related projects, such as the UN Trust Facility Supporting Cooperation on Arms Regulation (UNSCAR) and, of course, the EU ATT Outreach Project. The ATT Secretariat has worked closely with the managers/implementers of both actions, including the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) and Expertise France, in an effort to avoid duplication of funding. This has involved sharing information on a regular – and confidential – basis on applications received and projects approved by the different funds.

In the context of the EU support to the ATT Secretariat, the ATT Secretariat would build/capitalise on the relationship developed with BAFA and Expertise France to ensure complementarity between the ATT Secretariat’s EU-funded project and the ongoing work of the EU ATT Outreach Project. For example, the ATT Secretariat would engage members of the EU’s pool of experts to participate in an expert workshop to validate the training materials developed for the ‘train the trainers’ element of Project 2 (Expert roster (training the trainers)), and to share their experiences and lessons learned.

In addition, the ATT Secretariat would seek input from the implementing partners of the EU ATT Outreach Projects in the identification of State representatives and other individuals to be selected for participation in the ATT Secretariat’s ‘train the trainers’ programme. The ATT Secretariat could also work with EU ATT Outreach implementing partners and experts to extract assistance needs target States may have that were identified as part of the EU roadmap exercise and other EU outreach. Such information could be used to populate the matching needs and resources database contemplated in Project 3 (Support for a matching needs and resources database).

In summary, the ATT Secretariat sees many opportunities for a continuing dialogue/partnership with the EU ATT Outreach Project to ensure complementarity between the two projects as they strive towards the shared goal of effective ATT implementation.

2.2.   Impact and implications of COVID-19

COVID-19 is impacting most countries around the world, albeit to varying degrees. The restrictions on movement, meeting size, and travel that many countries have put in place in response to the outbreak are likely to have an impact on the implementation of ATT projects over the coming months, possibly years.

Given, too, that the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its impacts are unclear and cannot be predicted at this stage, it will be difficult to know with any certainty what the implications are for those project activities that involve international travel and/or face-to-face meetings, as well as timelines.

The ATT Secretariat will factor these circumstances into its project planning in the following ways:

First, the ATT Secretariat has prepared a draft project schedule for the implementation of the three projects outlined in the proposal that ensures that as much of the desk-based preparation, planning, outreach, research, and drafting required for each of the projects is undertaken during the first 15 months of the project (April 2021-June 2022). Those activities that require face-to-face engagement – namely the ‘train the trainer’ workshops contemplated in Project 2 (Expert roster (training the trainers)) – would be scheduled to take place in the second year of the project (July – November 2022). Of course, in the event that the COVID pandemic is still impacting the ability to travel and conduct face-to-face workshops in October 2022, an extension of time or other contingency plan may need to be considered.

Second, the ATT Secretariat has contingency plans in place with respect to certain project activities that contemplate face-to-face or in-person engagement. For example, Project 1 (Support for capacity building of ATT national points of contact) contemplates the organisation of a half- to one-day briefing in advance of every ATT meeting (starting in the 8th Conference of State Parties cycle) dedicated to National Points of Contact, in which they would be provided with information and updates on the forthcoming meeting and be given the opportunity to ask questions and clarify information. While it is hoped these briefings can and will take place in person in advance of each ATT meeting (as well as the meeting itself), if this is not possible due to COVID constraints, such briefings could be held virtually, by region (if necessary) to address time-zone and language factors.
