ANNEX

Graphic standards for creating the Union emblem and the definition of the standard colours

For full details and guidance see:

http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/communication/services/visual_identity/pdf/use-emblem_en.pdf

SYMBOLIC DESCRIPTION

Against a background of blue sky, 12 golden stars form a circle representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is fixed, 12 being the symbol of perfection and unity.

HERALDIC DESCRIPTION

On an azure field a circle of 12 golden mullets, their points not touching.

GEOMETRIC DESCRIPTION

Image 1

The emblem has the form of a blue rectangular flag of which the fly is one and a half times the length of the hoist. Twelve gold stars situated at equal intervals form an invisible circle whose centre is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle. The radius of the circle is equal to one-third of the height of the hoist. Each of the stars has five points, which are situated on the circumference of an invisible circle whose radius is equal to 1/18th of the height of the hoist. All the stars are upright, i.e. with one point vertical and two points in a straight line at right angles to the mast. The circle is arranged so that the stars appear in the position of the hours on the face of a clock. Their number is invariable.

REGULATION COLOURS

The emblem is in the following colours:

| — | PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle; |
| --- | --- |

—

PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle;

| — | PANTONE YELLOW for the stars. |
| --- | --- |

—

PANTONE YELLOW for the stars.

FOUR-COLOUR PROCESS

If the four-colour process is used, recreate the two standard colours by using the four colours of the four-colour process.

PANTONE YELLOW is obtained by using 100 % ‘Process Yellow’.

PANTONE REFLEX BLUE is obtained by mixing 100 % ‘Process Cyan’ and 80 % ‘Process Magenta’.

INTERNET

PANTONE REFLEX BLUE corresponds to the web-palette colour RGB: 0/51/153 (hexadecimal: 003399) and PANTONE YELLOW corresponds to the web-palette colour RGB: 255/204/0 (hexadecimal: FFCC00).

MONOCHROME REPRODUCTION PROCESS

Using black, outline the rectangle in black and print the stars in black on white.

Using blue (Reflex Blue), use 100 % with the stars reproduced in negative white.

REPRODUCTION ON A COLOURED BACKGROUND

If there is no alternative to a coloured background, put a white border around the rectangle, the width of the border being 1/25th of the height of the rectangle

small quantities of esters of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

According to the label the product is presented as a food supplement for human consumption. The recommended daily dose indicated on the label is three capsules.

2106 90 92

Classification is determined by the general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, additional note 5 to Chapter 21 and the wording of CN codes 2106 , 2106 90 and 2106 90 92 .

Having regard to the recommended daily dose indicated on the label, the product does not have clearly defined prophylactic or therapeutic properties. Consequently, it cannot be classified as a medicament under heading 3004 .

As the product is a food preparation presented in the form of measured doses and intended for use as a food supplement, the requirements of additional note 5 to Chapter 21 are fulfilled.

The product is therefore to be classified under heading 2106 as a food preparation, not elsewhere specified or included.

Each bottle is equipped with an ergonomic eye cup, a dust cap and it is for a single use.

According to the label, the product is used to rinse eyes in case of an emergency in order to remove foreign bodies and chemicals.

Classification is determined by the general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR), note 2 to Section VI, note 3 to Chapter 33 and the wording of CN codes 3307 and 3307 90 00 .

As the product is put up in packings of a kind sold by retail, suitable for use as a cosmetic or toilet preparation, it is considered to be a cosmetic or toilet preparation. Its classification in Chapter 25 or Chapter 30 is therefore excluded (see note 2(d) to Chapter 25 and note 1(e) to Chapter 30).

The product is therefore to be classified under heading 3307 as other cosmetic or toilet preparations not elsewhere specified or included.

Classification is determined by the GIR 1 and 6, note 2 to Section VI, note 3 to Chapter 33 and the wording of CN codes 3307 and 3307 90 00 .

As the product is not a separate chemically defined compound, its classification in heading 2835 as phosphates is excluded (see note 1 to Chapter 28).

As the product is put up in packings of a kind sold by retail, suitable for use as a cosmetic or toilet preparation, it is considered to be a cosmetic or toilet preparation. Its classification in Chapter 30 is therefore excluded (see note 1(e) to Chapter 30).

The product is therefore to be classified under heading 3307 as other cosmetic or toilet preparations not elsewhere specified or included.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Articles 18(3), 72(3), 98(2), and 115(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to ensure uniform conditions for implementing Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, it is necessary to adopt provisions setting out:

In order to ensure uniform conditions for implementing Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, it is necessary to adopt provisions setting out:

—

the model for the presentation of operational programmes concerning measures to be co-financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF),

| — | the structure of plans for the compensation of additional costs incurred by operators in the fishing, farming, processing and marketing of certain fishery and aquaculture products from the outermost regions referred to in Article 349 TFEU (compensation plans), |

—

the structure of plans for the compensation of additional costs incurred by operators in the fishing, farming, processing and marketing of certain fishery and aquaculture products from the outermost regions referred to in Article 349 TFEU (compensation plans),

—

the model for the transmission by Member States of financial data relating to the forecast of the amount for which they expect to submit payment applications,

the elements to be contained in reports on the ex ante evaluation of operational programmes, and

| — | the minimum requirements for plans concerning the evaluation of operational programmes during the programming period. |
| --- | --- |

—

the minimum requirements for plans concerning the evaluation of operational programmes during the programming period.

| (2) | Those provisions are closely linked since they deal with different aspects of the content and presentation of the operational programmes and compensation plans to be submitted by Member States in the framework of the EMFF. In order to ensure the necessary coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate their application by the managing authority, it is desirable to include those provisions in this Regulation. |

(3)

The model for operational programmes should harmonise the presentation of data in each section of the operational programme. This is necessary to ensure that data are consistent, comparable and, where necessary, that they can be aggregated.

| (4) | The model for operational programmes will form the basis for the development of the electronic data exchange system referred to in Article 74(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) as regards operational programmes. That model should therefore establish the manner in which data on operational programmes will be entered into the system for electronic data exchange. However, it should not affect the final presentation of operational programmes, including the layout of text and tables, since the electronic data exchange system is to allow for different structuring and presentation of the data that has been entered into this system. |

In order to ensure consistent conditions for the entry of data, the model should establish the technical specifications of each field in the electronic data exchange system. In addition to the structured data, the model should provide for the option to submit unstructured information in the form of compulsory or non-compulsory annexes. For such annexes it is not necessary to establish technical specifications. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 772/2014

of 14 July 2014

laying down the rules on intensity of public aid to be applied to the total eligible expenditure of certain operations financed under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 95(5) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 lays down in Article 95(1) general rules in relation to the intensity of public aid to be applied to the total eligible expenditure of an operation financed under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (‘EMFF’). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 lays down in Article 95(1) general rules in relation to the intensity of public aid to be applied to the total eligible expenditure of an operation financed under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (‘EMFF’).

| (2) | By way of derogation, Article 95(4) provides for additional percentage points of public aid intensity applicable to specific types of operations which are set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. At the same time, in order not to jeopardise the sustainability of the reform of Common Fisheries Policy (‘CFP’), Articles 94(3)(c) and Article 69(2) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 limit the EMFF support to certain types of operations by imposing a reduced co-financing rate. This logic is reflected also in the different levels of additional percentage points of aid intensity listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. The compliance with certain conditions of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 may therefore lead to an increase of percentage points of public aid intensity or has to lead to a decrease of percentage points of the public aid intensity. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

By way of derogation, Article 95(4) provides for additional percentage points of public aid intensity applicable to specific types of operations which are set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. At the same time, in order not to jeopardise the sustainability of the reform of Common Fisheries Policy (‘CFP’), Articles 94(3)(c) and Article 69(2) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 limit the EMFF support to certain types of operations by imposing a reduced co-financing rate. This logic is reflected also in the different levels of additional percentage points of aid intensity listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. The compliance with certain conditions of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 may therefore lead to an increase of percentage points of public aid intensity or has to lead to a decrease of percentage points of the public aid intensity.

| (3) | It is therefore necessary to ensure that the accumulation of additional percentage points of aid intensity in case of compliance with several conditions set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 in relation to one operation does not jeopardise the CFP goals and does not lead to the overcompensation or an excessive distortion of market rules in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

It is therefore necessary to ensure that the accumulation of additional percentage points of aid intensity in case of compliance with several conditions set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 in relation to one operation does not jeopardise the CFP goals and does not lead to the overcompensation or an excessive distortion of market rules in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors.

| (4) | Therefore, where an operation fulfils the conditions laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 allowing for additional increase of percentage points, Members States may apply increased public aid intensity. However, in case of compliance with more than one condition of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 allowing for several increases in percentage points in relation to one operation, the possible increase should be limited to the highest increase. In case of compliance with more than one condition of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 imposing decreases in percentage points in relation to one operation, the decrease should be limited to the highest decrease. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Therefore, where an operation fulfils the conditions laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 allowing for additional increase of percentage points, Members States may apply increased public aid intensity. However, in case of compliance with more than one condition of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 allowing for several increases in percentage points in relation to one operation, the possible increase should be limited to the highest increase. In case of compliance with more than one condition of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 imposing decreases in percentage points in relation to one operation, the decrease should be limited to the highest decrease.

| (5) | Finally, in order to comply with an obligation to reduce the percentage points for certain types of operations set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, where an operation can benefit from one or several increases and decreases of percentage points at the same time due to the compliance with several criteria in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, the possible increases should be disregarded and only the highest decrease should be applied. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Finally, in order to comply with an obligation to reduce the percentage points for certain types of operations set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, where an operation can benefit from one or several increases and decreases of percentage points at the same time due to the compliance with several criteria in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, the possible increases should be disregarded and only the highest decrease should be applied.

| (6) | In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| (7) | The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, |
| --- | --- |

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Specific intensity of public aid

Where several conditions set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 are fulfilled in relation to one operation, the different additional percentage increases and decreases of public aid intensity provided for in that Annex shall apply as follows:

(a)

if several increases in percentage points are applicable pursuant to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, only the highest of those increases may apply;

| (b) | if several decreases in percentage points are applicable pursuant to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, only the highest of those decreases shall apply; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

if several decreases in percentage points are applicable pursuant to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, only the highest of those decreases shall apply;

| (c) | if an operation can benefit from one or several additional increases of percentage points and at the same time one or several decreases of percentage points are applicable as referred to in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, only the highest decrease shall apply. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

if an operation can benefit from one or several additional increases of percentage points and at the same time one or several decreases of percentage points are applicable as referred to in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, only the highest decrease shall apply.
