COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 185/2013

of 5 March 2013

providing for deductions from certain fishing quotas allocated to Spain in 2013 and subsequent years on account of overfishing of a certain mackerel quota in 2009

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 105(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | A fishing quota for mackerel in ICES zones VIIIc, IX and X and in the EU waters of CECAF zone 34.1.1 was allocated to Spain for 2009 by Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 (2). |

(1)

A fishing quota for mackerel in ICES zones VIIIc, IX and X and in the EU waters of CECAF zone 34.1.1 was allocated to Spain for 2009 by Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 (2).

| (2) | The mackerel fishing quota for 2009 was reduced following exchanges made by Spain with France and Poland, pursuant to Article 20(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (3). |

| (3) | The Commission detected inconsistencies in the Spanish data about the mackerel fishery in 2009 by crosschecking such data as they had been recorded and reported at different stages of the value chain, from catch to first sale. The existence of those inconsistencies was further corroborated through the conduct of several audits, verification missions and inspections in Spain in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. |

Spain acknowledged that it had exceeded its mackerel quota in the year 2009 by 65 429 tonnes.

(6)

According to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the common fisheries policy shall ensure an exploitation of living aquatic resources that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions.

| (7) | Given the level of the overfishing and considering the need to take account of the socioeconomic situation of both the fishing sector and the associated processing industry of the concerned Member State and to limit as much as possible the negative impact on both sectors, it is appropriate to deduct quantities fished in excess over a period of at least 11 years. |

| (8) | Considering that Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 (4) provides for other deductions from fishing quotas allocated to Spain for mackerel until 2015, it is appropriate to fix a smaller deduction amount during the overlapping years, i.e. from 2013 to 2015. |

(8)

Considering that Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 (4) provides for other deductions from fishing quotas allocated to Spain for mackerel until 2015, it is appropriate to fix a smaller deduction amount during the overlapping years, i.e. from 2013 to 2015.

| (9) | Additionally, in order to avoid social and economic consequences for both the fishing sector concerned and the associated processing industry, as from 2016 the quantities deducted in any one year should not exceed 33 % of the annual mackerel quota. Where the quantity to be deducted exceeds 33 % of the annual mackerel quota, this Regulation should be amended to reduce the annual quantity to be deducted while extending the deduction period accordingly. |

Additionally, in order to avoid social and economic consequences for both the fishing sector concerned and the associated processing industry, as from 2016 the quantities deducted in any one year should not exceed 33 % of the annual mackerel quota. Where the quantity to be deducted exceeds 33 % of the annual mackerel quota, this Regulation should be amended to reduce the annual quantity to be deducted while extending the deduction period accordingly.

| (10) | Spain has requested to operate part of the deduction from its anchovy quotas in the same area over the same period. The mackerel stock in question is currently within safe biological limits. The anchovy stock in zone VIII is exploited at a rate that is consistent with producing the highest catch from the stock in the long term but is subject to large fluctuations and would in the long term benefit from temporary reductions on its exploitation. The main fishery for this mackerel stock (nearly 90 % of the catches) takes place in ICES zone VIIIc from February to May, and the anchovy stock in zone VIII is fished in the same area (VIIIc) from April to June. Mackerel and anchovy are pelagic fish that occur in mid water. It can be concluded that both these stocks are in the same geographical area and share the same ecosystem. Therefore, and taking into consideration the objectives of the common fisheries policy, it is considered appropriate in this particular case to operate part of the necessary deductions from the anchovy quotas allocated to Spain in the same area over the same period. |

of 5 March 2013

entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Salame Felino (PGI))

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(3)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Article 6(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2), Italy’s application to register the name ‘Salame Felino’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3). |

In accordance with Article 6(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2), Italy’s application to register the name ‘Salame Felino’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3).

| (2) | Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, statements of objection substantiated under Article 7(3)(a), (c) and (d) of that Regulation were notified to the Commission by Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. In its letter of 27 September 2011 the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations. |

(2)

Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, statements of objection substantiated under Article 7(3)(a), (c) and (d) of that Regulation were notified to the Commission by Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. In its letter of 27 September 2011 the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations.

| (3) | At the end of the appropriate consultation period Belgium and the Netherlands reached an agreement with Italy. Under that agreement the qualitative description of the raw materials was amended to include a reference to the classification set out in the carcass definition table contained in Annex V to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (4), the geographical limitation of slicing and packaging operations was removed and a number of minor textual amendments made. |

(5)

Given that no agreement was reached between all the parties within a timeframe of six months, the Commission must adopt a decision.

| (6) | Germany’s objection related to non-compliance with Article 5(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 (5) concerning the origin of the raw materials. It should be noted that the registration application places no geographical restriction on such origins, as confirmed by the amendment proposed by Italy based on the agreement reached with Belgium and the Netherlands. |

Germany’s objection related to non-compliance with Article 5(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 (5) concerning the origin of the raw materials. It should be noted that the registration application places no geographical restriction on such origins, as confirmed by the amendment proposed by Italy based on the agreement reached with Belgium and the Netherlands.

| (7) | The objector also maintained that the requirement that ‘a specific quality, reputation or other characteristics [be] attributable to that geographical origin’ is not met. As Italy based its application for registration as a geographical indication on the reputation acquired by ‘Salame Felino’, the file followed this line of argument. The objector, it should be noted, neither disputes nor presents any argument casting doubt on that reputation. The conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 have therefore been fulfilled. |

As no evidence has been adduced in support of Germany’s third ground for objection, namely that the name proposed for registration is a generic name, the generic nature has by no means been established.

| (9) | In its statement of objection and further to the appropriate consultations, Belgium cited Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, under which statements of objection are admissible if they ‘show that the registration of the name proposed would jeopardise [...] the existence of products which have been legally on the market for at least five years preceding the date of the publication provided for in Article 6(2)’. A transitional period of up to five years may in this case be permitted where a statement of objection has been declared admissible on these grounds. Belgium’s statement of objection refers to the undertakings Reulen bvba and Salaisons Salamone SA and demonstrates that they produce and market a Felino-type salami. |

the cuts of meat used to produce ‘Salame Felino’ PGI must be pieces of choice muscle or fat tissue such as the forward part of the belly (testa di pancetta) and/or minced meat from under the shoulder (trito di banco (sottospalla)). The meat used must not have undergone any freezing.

The muscle and fat tissue must be carefully cleaned, with the soft adipose tissue and larger pieces of connective matter being removed.

The meat (muscle and fat tissue) used for ‘Salame Felino’ PGI must be put into a cold store at a temperature of not less than – 1 °C and arranged in such a way as to allow the muscle tissue to dry out well.

The mix must be minced using a meat grinder (fitted with perforated plates with 6-8 mm holes).

The meat must then be mixed with salt (2-2,8 %), whole pepper and/or pepper pieces (0,03-0,06 %) and ground garlic.

Use may also be made of:

3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

‘Salame Felino’ must be sliced and packaged under the surveillance of the authorised body in line with the provisions of the monitoring plan.

Indeed, owing to the delicate nature of the product, and because the slicing and packaging stages are potentially harmful, it is essential that the period during which the slices remain in contact with the air is as short as possible, so as to prevent them taking on a brown colour.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

‘Salame Felino’ PGI may be released for consumption either whole, with only the label and possibly the seal; thickly cut, in vacuum packs or in a protective atmosphere; or sliced, in vacuum packs or in a protective atmosphere.

The name ‘Salame Felino’ followed by the wording ‘Protected Geographical Indication’ or the abbreviation ‘PGI’ (translated into the language in which the product is being marketed) must be affixed to the label or, where relevant, the seal, in clear, indelible characters that can be easily distinguished from any other writing on the label/seal, followed by the Community graphic symbol and the company mark.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The ‘Salame Felino’ PGI production area is the administrative territory of the Province of Parma.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The ‘Salame Felino’ PGI production area, which covers the whole Province of Parma, is marked by the presence of both hilly and flat areas, as well as lakes and salt mines.

The geographical area was defined by making reference to an in-depth historical reconstruction of the production practices that gave rise to the creation of this typical product. These practices are linked to the age-old traditions of pork butchery and curing which have been facilitated by the presence, since antiquity, of salt mines and distinctive climatic conditions resulting from the presence of specific levels of humidity, exposure to marine air currents and the concentration of large wooded areas.

In the Parma hills, it has always been possible to combine the techniques of the plain with the salt of Salsomaggiore.

The phrase ‘techniques of the plain’ means those methods for processing and curing pig meat that developed as far back as the Etruscan and Roman period owing to the presence of pig farms dedicated, among other things, to supplying food for the Roman legions. In the hills around the plain, these techniques were combined with the opportunity to make easier use of the salt from the Salsomaggiore mines as a result of the hills being the traditional focal point for processing the salt, which, being a precious substance, was processed in areas that were located far from communication routes and were thus more secure from possible raids.

Indeed, because of the presence of these salt mines, the salting and processing of pig meat has, since 1300, led to the manufacture of products that are recognised at both national and international level.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Salame Felino’ PGI differs from other products in the same commercial category owing to its firmness and non-springy consistency, its uniformity, and its ruby red colour. Its flavour is mild and delicate.

Unlike the vast majority of salamis on the market, ‘Salame Felino’ is packed exclusively in natural casings (i.e. never synthetic ones). It is free of lactose and powdered milk and has a moderately high pH, with the resultant improvement in the organoleptic qualities.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

‘Salame Felino’ PGI’s reputation is attested to by a copious bibliography of references and citations.

The first references date back as far as certain Latin authors of the 1st century AD (Apicus — De re coquinaria).

‘Salame Felino’ was well known in the courts that subsequently established themselves in the capital, from the Farnese to the Bourbons to Duchess Marie Louise.

The oldest depiction of the product seems to be found in the decoration of the interior of the Baptistery of Parma (1196-1307). On the frieze slab dedicated to the Aquarius sign of the zodiac, two salamis can be seen at the hearth on a rotating saucepan stand. These salamis are of a size and shape that can still be found today and are the same as those of ‘Salame Felino’ PGI.

A 1766 census of the pig population revealed that the Marquisate of Felino was the most lively pig market in the district. Dating from the same period are price lists for the Felino area quoting prices for lean and fatty salami. Reports of customs and culinary traditions for the early 19th century reveal that there was a distinctive method of processing pig meat into salami in the area around the town of Felino.

The entry ‘Salame Felino’ appeared in the Italian dictionary in 1905 and, in 1912, the production of salami in Felino was examined in the Ministry of Agriculture’s report on economic performance for the year.

Since 1927, the relevant local public institutions have granted salami produced in the Province of Parma the name ‘Salame Felino’. Indeed, this name must obviously have already enjoyed particular renown and reputation, and thus been particularly recognisable, if the Office and Provincial Council of the National Economy felt that promoting its commercial use was a means of boosting the prosperity of the province. Still today, the fact that the production of ‘Salame Felino’ is rooted in the territory of the Province of Parma can be seen through research and studies into the area’s gastronomic culture. Indeed, many reviews have linked ‘Salame Felino’ to the province’s gastronomy, citing it as one of Parma’s most highly appreciated sausage meat products, the quality of which is inextricably linked to the centuries-old tradition that developed and is maintained unchanged only in the valleys of the Province of Parma. To this should be added the many events that continue to be organised both in Italy and abroad by both the local and the provincial authorities of Parma in honour of ‘Salame Felino’, with stands being set up to offer tastings and information material on the characteristics of the product and its historical production in the Province of Parma.

The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance mandipropamid (4) on 18 October 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and was finalised on 1 February 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for mandipropamid.

| (5) | It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing mandipropamid may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve mandipropamid. |

| (8) | Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing mandipropamid. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles. |

In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances. |

ANNEX

Guidelines for Member States on calculating renewable energy from heat pumps from different heat pump technologies pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/28/EC

1.   INTRODUCTION

Annex VII to the Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC (the Directive) establishes the basic method for calculating renewable energy supplied by heat pumps. Annex VII sets out three parameters that are needed for the calculation of the renewable energy from heat pumps to be counted for the renewable energy targets;

| (a) | the power system efficiency (η or eta); |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the power system efficiency (η or eta);

| (b) | the estimated amount of useful energy supplied from the heat pumps (Qusable); |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the estimated amount of useful energy supplied from the heat pumps (Qusable);

| (c) | the ‘seasonal performance factor’ (SPF). |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the ‘seasonal performance factor’ (SPF).

The methodology for determining the power system efficiency (η) was agreed in the Renewable Energy Statistics Working Party of 23 October 2009
   (1). The data required for the calculation of the power system efficiency is covered by Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008
   (2) on energy statistics. The power system efficiency (η) is set at 0,455 (or 45,5 %), based on the most recent data for 2010 (3), which is the value to be used towards 2020.

These guidelines therefore set out how Member States should estimate the two remaining parameters of Qusable and the ‘seasonal performance factor’ (SPF), taking into consideration differences in climatic conditions, especially very cold climates. With these guidelines Member States are enabled to calculate the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies.

2.   DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this Decision, the following definitions apply:

| | ‘Qusable
  ’ means the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, calculated as the product of the rated capacity for heating (Prated) and the annual equivalent heat pump hours (HHP), expressed in GWh; |
| --- | --- |

‘Qusable
  ’ means the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, calculated as the product of the rated capacity for heating (Prated) and the annual equivalent heat pump hours (HHP), expressed in GWh;

| | ‘annual equivalent heat pump hours’ (HHP) means the assumed annual number of hours a heat pump has to provide heat at rated capacity to deliver the total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, expressed in h; |
| --- | --- |

‘annual equivalent heat pump hours’ (HHP) means the assumed annual number of hours a heat pump has to provide heat at rated capacity to deliver the total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, expressed in h;

| | ‘rated capacity’ (Prated) means the cooling or heating capacity of the vapour compression cycle or sorption cycle of the unit at standard rating conditions; |

| --- | --- |

(c)

the default factors for establishing the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps are set at a conservative level to lower the risk of overestimating the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps.

Member States are encouraged to improve the conservative default values by adapting them to national/regional circumstances, including the development of more accurate methodologies. Such improvements should be reported to the Commission and made publicly available.

3.2.   Outline of methodology

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies (ERES) shall be calculated with the following formula:

Formula

Formula

Where:

| — | Qusable | = | the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps [GWh], |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| — | HHP | = | equivalent full load hours of operation [h], |
| — | Prated | = | capacity of heat pumps installed, taking into account the lifetime of different types of heat pumps [GW], |
| — | SPF | = | the estimated average seasonal performance factor (SCOPnet or SPERnet). |

—

Qusable

=

the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps [GWh],

—

HHP

=

equivalent full load hours of operation [h],

—

Prated

=

capacity of heat pumps installed, taking into account the lifetime of different types of heat pumps [GW],

—

SPF

=

the estimated average seasonal performance factor (SCOPnet or SPERnet).

Default values for HHP and conservative default SPF values are set out in Tables 1 and 2 in Section 3.6.

3.3.   Minimum performance of heat pumps to be considered as renewable energy under the Directive

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, Member States shall ensure that only heat-pumps with a SPF above 1,15 * 1/η are taken into account.

With power system efficiency (η) set at 45,5 % (see Section 1 and footnote 3) it implies that the minimum SPF of electrically driven heat pumps (SCOPnet) to be considered as renewable energy under the Directive is 2,5.

For heat pumps that are driven by thermal energy (either directly, or through the combustion of fuels), the power system efficiency (η) is equal to 1. For such heat pumps the minimum SPF (SPERnet) is 1,15 for the purposes of being considered as renewable energy under the Directive.

Member States should consider, in particular for air sourced heat pumps, how large a fraction of their already installed capacity of heat pumps have a SPF above the minimum performance. In that assessment the Member States may rely on both test data and measurements, although lack of data may in many cases reduce the assessment to expert judgment by each Member State. Such expert judgments should be conservative, meaning that the estimates rather underestimate than overestimate the contribution of heat pumps (4). In the case of air-sourced water heaters it is normally only in exceptional cases that such heat pumps have an SPF above the minimum threshold.

3.4.   System boundaries for measuring energy from heat pumps

The system boundaries for measurement include the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant pump and, for ad/absorption, in addition the sorption cycle and solvent pump. The determination of the SPF should be according to the seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOPnet) according to EN 14825:2012 or seasonal primary energy ratio (SPERnet) according to EN 12309. That implies that electric energy or fuel consumption for operation of the heat pump and circulation of the refrigerant should be taken into account. The corresponding system boundary is shown in Figure 1 below as SPFH2, highlighted in red.

It follows from the system boundaries set out above, that the calculation of renewable energy supplied by the heat pump depends on the heat pump alone and not the heating system the heat pump is a part of. Inefficient use of heat pump energy is therefore a matter of energy efficiency, and should therefore not influence the calculations of renewable energy supplied by heat pumps.

3.5.   Climate conditions

The definition of average, colder and warmer climate conditions follows the method as proposed in the draft for Commission Delegated Regulation on energy labelling of boilers (5), where ‘average climate conditions’, ‘colder climate conditions’ and ‘warmer climate conditions’ mean the temperature conditions characteristic for the cities of Strasbourg, Helsinki and Athens, respectively. Suggested climate condition areas are set out in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2

Climate condition areas

In cases where several climate conditions are existing within the same Member State, the Member States should estimate the installed capacity of heat pumps in the respective climate condition area.

3.6.   Default values for SPF and Qusable for heat pumps

The default values for HHP and SPF (SCOPnet) for electrically driven heat pumps are as set out in the table below:

The default values set out in Tables 1 and 2 above are typical for the segment of heat pumps with a SPF above the minimum threshold, meaning that heat pumps with SPF below 2,5 have not been taken into consideration when the typical values have been established (6).

3.7.   Remarks related to non-electrically driven heat pumps

The heat pumps that do not use electricity, either use liquid or gaseous fuel to drive the compressor, or use an ad/absorption process (driven by combustion of liquid or gaseous fuel or by use of geothermal/solarthermal energy or waste heat) are delivering renewable energy as long as the ‘net seasonal primary energy ratio in active mode’ (SPERnet) is 115 % or larger than that value (7).

3.8.   Remarks related to heat pumps using exhaust air as energy source

Heat pumps using exhaust air as energy source use ambient energy, and such heat pumps therefore supply renewable energy. But simultaneously such heat pumps recover the energy in the exhaust air, which is not aerothermal energy according to the Directive (8). It is therefore only the aerothermal energy that is counted as renewable energy. This is adjusted for by correcting the HHP values for such heat pumps as set out in Section 3.6.

3.9.   Remarks to air sourced heat pumps

The HHP values shown in Tables 1 and 2 above are based on HHE values which includes not only the hours the heat pump is used, but also the hours that the supplementary heater is used. As the supplementary heater is outside of the system boundaries described in Section 3.4, the HHE values for all air source heat pumps are appropriately adjusted to only account for the useful heat delivered by the heat pump itself. The adjusted HHP figures are shown in Tables 1 and 2 above.

In the case of air sourced heat pumps with capacity reported for design conditions (and not for standard testing conditions), the HHE values should be used (9).

Only ambient air, i.e. outdoor air, can be the source of energy for an air-sourced heat pump.

3.10.   Remarks related to reversible heat pumps

Firstly, reversible heat pumps in warm and to some extent average climates are often installed with the purpose of cooling the indoor environment, although they are also used to provide heating during the winter. As the cooling demand in the summer is higher than the heating demand in the winter, the rated capacity reflects the cooling demand rather than the need for heating. As the installed capacity is used as an indicator of heating demand, it implies that the statistics of installed capacity will not reflect the capacity installed for heating purposes. Moreover, reversible heat pumps are often installed in parallel to existing heating systems, implying that these heat pumps are not always used for heating purposes.

Both elements need appropriate adjustment. A conservative reduction (10) to 10 % for warm climate and 40 % for average climate is assumed in Tables 1 and 2 above. However, the real reduction is strongly dependent on national practices for providing heating systems, and national figures shall therefore be used where possible. The use of alternative figures should be submitted to the Commission, together with a report describing the method and data used. The Commission will, if necessary, translate the documents and publish them on its transparency platform.

3.11.   Renewable energy contribution from hybrid heat pump systems

For hybrid heat pump systems, where the heat pump works in cooperation with other renewable energy technologies (e.g. solar thermal collectors used as pre-heaters), the accounting of renewable energy is at risk of inaccuracy. Member States shall therefore ensure that the accounting of renewable energy from hybrid heat pump systems is correct, and in particular ensure that no renewable energy is accounted more than once.

3.12.   Guidance on the development of more accurate methodologies

It is envisaged and encouraged that Member States do their own estimations for both SPF and HHP. If improved estimations can be made, such national/regional approaches should be based on accurate assumptions, representative samples of sufficient size, resulting in a significantly improved estimate of renewable energy from heat pumps compared to the estimate obtained through the use of the method set out in this Decision. Such improved methodologies may be based on detailed calculation based on technical data taking into account, among other factors, year of installation, quality of installation, compressor type, operation mode, heat distribution system, bivalence point and the regional climate.

If measurements are only available at other system boundaries than the system boundary set out in Section 3.4, appropriate adjustments should be made.

Only those heat pumps with energy efficiency above the minimum threshold, as set out in Annex VII to the Directive, shall be included for the calculation of renewable energy for the purpose of the Directive.

Member States are invited, when alternative methodologies and/or values are used, to submit them to the Commission together with a report describing the method and data used. The Commission will, if necessary, translate the documents and publish them on its transparency platform.

(3)  The value for η in 2010 is 45,5 % (developing from 44,0 % in 2007, 44,7 % 2008 and 45,1 % in 2009), leading to a minimum SPF of 2,5 in 2010. This is a conservative estimate, as the power system efficiency is expected to increase towards 2020. However, as the basis of estimating the power system efficiency (η) changes due to updates in the underlying statistics, it is more predictable to set the η at a fixed level in order to avoid confusion regarding the minimum SPF requirements (create legal certainty) and also to facilitate methodology development by Member States (see Section 3.10). If necessary, η can be revised as per Article 2 (revision of guidelines if necessary by 31 December 2016).

(4)  Particular attention is required regarding reversible air sourced heat pumps, as a number of potential sources of overestimation exist, notably: (a) not all reversible heat pumps are used for heating, or only to a limited extent, and (b) older (and new less efficient) units may have an efficiency (SPF) below the required minimum threshold of 2,5.

(5)  This draft has not been adopted yet by the Commission (January 2013). The draft can be found in the WTO’s database: http://members.wto.org/crnattachments/2012/tbt/EEC/12_2119_00_e.pdf

(6)  This implies that Member States can consider the values set out in Tables 1 and 2 as average values of the electrically driven heat pumps that have SPF above the minimum 2,5.

(7)  See Section 3.3.

(8)  See Article 5(4), and definition of ‘aerothermal energy’ in Article 2(b) of the Directive.

(9)  These values are 1 336, 2 066 and 3 465 for warm, average and cold climate respectively.

(10)  An Italian study (referred to on page 48 of ‘Outlook 2011 — European Heat Pump Statistics’) finds that in less than 10 % of the cases, heat pumps were the only installed heat generator. As reversible air-air heat pumps is the single most installed heat pump technology type (60 % of all installed units — mostly installed in Italy, Spain and France, as well as Sweden and Finland), it is important to adjust the figures appropriately. The Impact Assessment of Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2012 of 6 March 2012 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for air conditioners and comfort fans (OJ L 72, 10.3.2012, p. 7) assumes that EU wide, 33 % of reversible heat pumps are not used for heating. In addition one can assume that a large number of the 67 % of reversible heat pumps are only used partly for heating, as the heat pump is installed in parallel to another heating system. The proposed values are therefore appropriate to reduce the risk of over-estimation.

(*1)  The Member State in this hypothetical example did a survey of installed reversible air to air heat pumps and concluded that the equivalent of 48 % of the installed reversible heat pump capacity were used fully for heating, instead of the 40 % assumed in these guidelines. The HHP value is therefore adjusted up from 710 hours, which assumes 40 % and set out in Table 1, to 852 hours, which is representative for the estimated 48 %.
