COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2023/1190

of 16 June 2023

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 suspending the Common Customs Tariff duties referred to in Article 56(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 on certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are not produced in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances on the market for those products, Common Customs Tariff duties of the type referred to in Article 56(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘CCT duties’) on those products have been suspended by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 (2). As a result, the products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates without any limitation as regards their quantity. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are not produced in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances on the market for those products, Common Customs Tariff duties of the type referred to in Article 56(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘CCT duties’) on those products have been suspended by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 (2). As a result, the products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates without any limitation as regards their quantity.

| (2) | The Union production of certain products that are not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 is inadequate to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Union. As it is in the Union’s interest to ensure an adequate supply of certain products, and having regard to the fact that identical, equivalent or substitute products are not produced in sufficient quantities within the Union, it is necessary to grant a complete suspension of the CCT duties on those products. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The Union production of certain products that are not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 is inadequate to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Union.

| (3) | With a view to promoting integrated battery production in the Union, a partial suspension of the CCT duties should be granted in respect of certain products related to battery production that are currently not listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2278 and the respective Union production of which is inadequate to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Union. The date for the mandatory review of those suspensions should be 31 December 2023, in order for that review to take into account the short-term evolution of the battery production sector in the Union. |

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2023/1191

of 16 June 2023

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are produced in insufficient quantities in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances on the market for those products, autonomous tariff quotas of the Union (‘quotas’) were opened by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 (1). Within those quotas, products can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to ensure a sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain agricultural and industrial products which are produced in insufficient quantities in the Union and thereby avoid any disturbances on the market for those products, autonomous tariff quotas of the Union (‘quotas’) were opened by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 (1). Within those quotas, products can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates.

| (2) | As it is in the Union’s interest to ensure an adequate supply of certain industrial products, and having regard to the fact that identical, equivalent or substitute products are not produced in sufficient quantities within the Union, it is necessary to open new quotas with order numbers 09.2561, 09.2562 and 09.2857 at zero duty rates for appropriate quantities of those products. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

As it is in the Union’s interest to ensure an adequate supply of certain industrial products, and having regard to the fact that identical, equivalent or substitute products are not produced in sufficient quantities within the Union, it is necessary to open new quotas with order numbers 09.2561, 09.2562 and 09.2857 at zero duty rates for appropriate quantities of those products.

| (3) | As it is no longer in the Union’s interest to maintain the quotas with order numbers 09.2581 and 09.2672, those quotas should be closed with effect from 1 July 2023. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

As it is no longer in the Union’s interest to maintain the quotas with order numbers 09.2581 and 09.2672, those quotas should be closed with effect from 1 July 2023.

| (4) | Taking into account the amendments to be made and for the sake of clarity, the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 should be replaced. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Taking into account the amendments to be made and for the sake of clarity, the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2021/2283 should be replaced.

| (5) | In order to avoid any interruption in the application of the quota scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the communication from the Commission of 13 December 2011 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas, the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the quotas for the products concerned should apply from 1 July 2023. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency, |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/1192

of 14 March 2023

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2021/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the content of the written arrangements and procedures for the functioning of the resolution colleges

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on a framework for the recovery and resolution of central counterparties and amending Regulations (EU) No 1095/2010, (EU) No 648/2012, (EU) No 600/2014, (EU) No 806/2014 and (EU) 2015/2365 and Directives 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2014/59/EU and (EU) 2017/1132 (1), and in particular Article 4(7), fourth subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to ensure the homogeneous governance of the resolution of CCPs across the Union, resolution colleges established pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23 should rely on a commonly shared set of functioning rules. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to ensure the homogeneous governance of the resolution of CCPs across the Union, resolution colleges established pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23 should rely on a commonly shared set of functioning rules.

| (2) | The resolution colleges are to facilitate cooperation among competent authorities and resolution authorities, notably at the preparatory stages of recovery and resolution, by gathering all relevant competent authorities, the relevant members of the European System of Central Banks, central banks of issue of the relevant Union currencies of the financial instruments cleared, the relevant ministry, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the European Banking Authority (EBA). |

| (3) | In order to ensure efficient and effective decision making, information exchange processes and cooperation among the authorities, the written arrangements and procedures of the resolution college should include the necessary organisational provisions. In particular, the resolution college should recognise the need for the establishment of flexible substructures within the resolution college to carry out its functions and ensure that members are able to contribute in an appropriate manner in relation to the various activities of the college. |

In particular, the resolution college should recognise the need for the establishment of flexible substructures within the resolution college to carry out its functions and ensure that members are able to contribute in an appropriate manner in relation to the various activities of the college.

| (4) | The written arrangements and procedures of the resolution college should also include the necessary operational provisions. Those operational provisions should enable the resolution authorities to coordinate their input to the supervisory college established pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) which is covering the day-to-day operation of the CCP. Furthermore, those operational provisions should facilitate the resolution authorities’ task of organising the analysis, consideration and evaluation of the input that they receive from the supervisory college. Written arrangements and procedures should, therefore, include a process of communication between the supervisory college and the resolution college. |

Written arrangements and procedures should, therefore, include a process of communication between the supervisory college and the resolution college.

| (5) | To ensure the robustness of the resolution college, the efficiency of its inner processes, and efficient coordination with the supervisory college, the resolution college should rely on a set of operational rules governing the functioning of college meetings, the exchange of information within the resolution college and the communication arrangements. |

To ensure that operational procedures are effective to address an emergency, the resolution authority of the CCP should undertake appropriate tests for the readiness of the resolution college to act and respond in such a scenario.

| (7) | Timely and realistic planning for all joint decision processes is necessary to ensure smooth and efficient decision taking. Every authority involved in those processes should provide the resolution authority of the CCP with its contribution in relation to the respective joint decision in a timely and efficient way and in accordance with the timetables agreed for the respective joint decision. |

| (8) | It is necessary to ensure that joint decisions are taken swiftly and in a timely manner. This is particularly important for decisions on resolution but is also relevant for resolution planning and resolvability assessment. At the same time, authorities involved in the joint decision-making process should be provided with sufficient time to express their views. The steps for reaching any joint decision should be set out, recognising that some of these steps may be performed in parallel and others sequentially. |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/1193

of 14 March 2023

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2021/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the contents of the resolution plan

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on a framework for the recovery and resolution of central counterparties and amending Regulations (EU) No 1095/2010, (EU) No 648/2012, (EU) No 600/2014, (EU) No 806/2014 and (EU) 2015/2365 and Directives 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2014/59/EU and (EU) 2017/1132 (1), and in particular Article 12(9), fourth subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | When drawing up resolution plans, resolution authorities should make sure to consider all the elements referred to Article 12(7), points (a) to (s) of Regulation (EU) 2021/23. The standards for the content of resolution plans should be sufficiently detailed to ensure that resolution plans are targeted and useful for the implementation of resolution strategies, while also allowing for sufficient flexibility to take into account the national legal framework in the area of insolvency law, as well as the nature and complexity of the CCP’s clearing business. |
| --- | --- |

When drawing up resolution plans, resolution authorities should make sure to consider all the elements referred to Article 12(7), points (a) to (s) of Regulation (EU) 2021/23. The standards for the content of resolution plans should be sufficiently detailed to ensure that resolution plans are targeted and useful for the implementation of resolution strategies, while also allowing for sufficient flexibility to take into account the national legal framework in the area of insolvency law, as well as the nature and complexity of the CCP’s clearing business.

| (2) | While all elements specifying the content of the resolution plans, which are regulated in Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23, should be included in the resolution plan, the resolution authority should ensure that these elements are reflected in the resolution plan in a suitable way considering the specific characteristics of the central counterparty (CCP), such as the nature and complexity of the clearing business performed by it. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

While all elements specifying the content of the resolution plans, which are regulated in Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23, should be included in the resolution plan, the resolution authority should ensure that these elements are reflected in the resolution plan in a suitable way considering the specific characteristics of the central counterparty (CCP), such as the nature and complexity of the clearing business performed by it.

| (3) | The summary of the key elements of the resolution plan referred to in Article 12(7), point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2021/23 should be succinct and focused but at the same time containing sufficient explanations to cover the key elements of the plan that are to be disclosed to the CCP. The summary should make the CCPs aware of key actions that they should be able to perform and data they should be able to submit. The summary should focus on where that plan may have a material impact on the CCP’s recovery and crisis management planning, and clarify any expectations from the CCP as regards cooperation in the resolution phase and the measures that may affect the CCP’s functions. |
| --- | --- |

| (4) | In order to ensure the overall suitability and proportionality of the resolution plan, it should contain resolution scenarios and resolution strategies. The resolution authority should have the tools, in the form of different types of possible scenarios, including combinations thereof, to create relevant and suitable scenarios for the CCP, and a list of key aspects to be considered when establishing resolution strategies for the resolution scenarios. |

| (5) | In order to take into consideration the specific characteristics of the applicable national legal framework in the area of insolvency law, resolution authorities should have the flexibility to consider some aspects of resolution planning carefully, such as the mechanism under Article 60 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23, and any differences between the creditors ranking under the national insolvency procedures and the loss absorption order established under that Regulation. This overall flexibility is evidenced by this Regulation, which provides the elements to be reflected in the resolution plan, without prejudice to the required flexibility under Regulation (EU) 2021/23. The elements specified in this Regulation also do not preclude the resolution authority from determining other aspects to be reflected in the resolution plan. |

| (6) | To facilitate and ensure the effective implementation of the resolution plan, it is essential that, where the resolution authority has assessed certain aspects of the CCP differently from in the CCPs’ own assessment under the recovery plan, such differences are considered in light of a possible impact on the swift implementation of the resolution plan. Therefore, where any differences are identified, the resolution authority should consider them in the resolution plan and assess them to understand their effect, if any, on the implementation of the resolution plan. |

| (7) | To ensure that resolution plans, where necessary, can be effectively implemented in due time, it is essential that the resolution authorities have ‘proof tested’ the application of the intended resolution plan, to the extent possible, by testing processes and procedures in detail. Such testing should include sending emails and information to ensure that any pre-planned actions related to how and when to undertake certain steps and how and when to collect certain information are workable in stressed conditions and that any impediments found are corrected to ensure, to the extent possible, that the estimated time frames are likely to be respected. |

| (8) | To ensure that key employees remain at the CCP during the resolution phase, the resolution authority should try to assess and pre-empt incentive structures to be used, possibly not only linked to the CCPs future gains, but also direct remunerations and should consider how to ensure sufficient staff by considering short-term hires, exchanges, temporary allocations or consultancy arrangements of employees, where relevant, so that CCPs have the competence they need. |

| (9) | To ensure a swift and efficient cooperation with the authorities whose areas of competence would be affected by the failure of a CCP, and which are represented in the resolution college as defined under Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/23, the resolution authority should prepare and regularly test the arrangements for notifying the resolution college and communicating any relevant information. |

ANNEX

ON THE SCENARIOS TO INCLUDE IN THE CCP RESOLUTION PLAN

| Types of scenarios
  (Article 12(3), point (a), and 12(7), point (j) of Regulation (EU) 2021/23) | Factors to describe type of scenarios
  (Article 12(3), point (a), and 12(7), point (j) of Regulation (EU) 2021/23) |
| --- | --- |
| Default Scenario – Unsuccessful recovery where the CCP does not have sufficient resources and tools for a successful recovery | Establish scenario where a CCP has not fully addressed liquidity shortfalls or established loss allocation arrangements that fully address uncovered credit losses. As a result, recovery resources and tools are insufficient to absorb losses and replenish financial resources to minimum regulatory requirements. |
| Default Scenario – Failure of loss allocation arrangements | Establish scenario where the CCP’s loss allocation arrangements set out in the recovery plan do not operate as intended and as a result, the planned resources or tools are not, or not sufficiently, available at the time of recovery. |
| Default Scenario – Multiple clearing members do not meet their obligations under the CCP’s recovery actions | Establish scenario where the multiple clearing members do not meet their obligations under the CCP’s recovery actions. If the group of non-performing clearing members is sufficiently large or if their failure to meet obligations leads to a general loss of confidence in the CCP, the CCP may become unable to continue operations. |
| Default Scenario – Timing of resolution actions | Establish scenario where the relevant authorities determine that resolution should be initiated before some of the arrangements or tools under the CCP’s recovery plan are applied. In this scenario, the relevant authorities have determined that applying recovery arrangements or tools in the prevailing market conditions may threaten financial stability and/or the continuity of critical functions. |
| Non-default Scenario – Investment risks | Establish scenario where losses on investments of initial margin or default fund assets could arise for example if an investment counterparty fails. A CCP may need to bear such losses, if the loss allocation tools in the CCP’s rules do not cover them in another manner. Losses could also occur from the investment of a CCP’s own financial resources including SITG and SSITG. Investment losses could materialise suddenly. |
| Non-default Scenario- Failure of service providers | Establish scenario where, as a result of a failure of a custodian, depository, a payment or settlement bank, a payment system, a securities settlement system or other entity providing similar services, the CCP could lose timely access to its assets, become unable to collect margins or become unable to transform non-cash collateral or investments into cash. This could cause liquidity and/or solvency challenges to a CCP, depending on the nature or consequences of the failure and the time it takes to regain access to the assets. |
| Non-Default Scenario- Operational risk events | Establish scenario where financial losses or liquidity challenges arise from a range of operational failures, such as human error, information technology failure, fraud, cyber incident, or non-performance of vendors or service providers. A CCP can incur operational losses directly (primary losses) or due to the legal actions taken by others affected by the event (secondary losses). Operational risk events can happen suddenly, but certain losses, particularly secondary losses can take years to fully materialise. |
| Non-Default Scenario – Financial losses (Comprehensive loss allocation arrangements for custody and investment losses the CCP incurs as a result of its clearing and settlement activity) | Establish scenario where the CCP does not have sufficient financial resources or tools to cover non-default losses (including losses deriving from legal risks, including legal, regulatory, enforcement or contractual penalties that could lead to significant losses or uncertainty for the CCP and that can take a long time to materialise). In this scenario, the non-default losses would be larger than the CCP’s capital and contingent resources (e.g. insurance, parental guarantees). Alternatively, in a scenario where the CCP’s clearing members would also be required to bear losses, the aggregate resources available would be insufficient to cover the losses and/or to replenish capital back to the required minimum. |
| Establish scenario where the CCP’s arrangements to cover (specific) non-default losses set out in the recovery plan cannot be used or do not operate as intended. As a result, the planned resources or tools are not, or not sufficiently, available at the time of recovery. |
| Establish scenario where the CCP’s clearing members do not meet their obligations under the CCP’s recovery actions. In this scenario, clearing members do not meet the applicable loss allocation or replenishment obligations. |
| Establish scenario where the CCP’s shareholders do not support the CCP’s recovery actions. In this scenario, the CCP’s parent company or other shareholders do not cover the CCP’s non-default losses that are not allocated elsewhere and/or are unwilling to recapitalise the CCP, irrespective of whether there is a contractual commitment, parental guarantee, or similar arrangement to provide financial resources or not. |
| Establish scenario where the relevant authorities determine that resolution should be initiated before some of the recovery arrangements or tools are applied or the CCP is wound down. In this scenario, the CCP’s recovery and wind-down arrangements are consistent with the PFMI, but the relevant authorities have determined that applying them in the prevailing market conditions may threaten financial stability and/or the continuity of critical functions. |
| Event(s) causing simultaneous default and non-default losses – This scenario addresses the situation in which there are concurrent default and non-default losses as a result of a single event or as a result of multiple events that occur in a reduced time span. | Establish scenario where there are specific entities that are material sources of both default and non-default losses, specific scenarios analysing the effects of default events affecting these entities may be relevant.
  Considering where non-default losses would be borne by clearing members affecting the path of loss propagation and where there are material differences between different combinations of default and non-default events with respect to the available tools, usage of tools, paths of losses or impact on stakeholders. |

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/1197

of 19 June 2023

authorising Poland to apply reduced rates of excise duty to heavy fuel oil, natural gas, coal and coke, used as heating fuels, in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | By letter dated 3 January 2023, Poland requested authorisation to apply reduced rates of excise duty to heavy fuel oil, natural gas, coal and coke, used as heating fuels, pursuant to Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC, which fall below the minimum levels of taxation referred to in Article 9 of that Directive. Additional information and clarifications in support of the request were provided by the Polish authorities on 15 February 2023. It was requested that the authorisation apply for a period of six months, from 1 January 2023 until 30 June 2023. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

By letter dated 3 January 2023, Poland requested authorisation to apply reduced rates of excise duty to heavy fuel oil, natural gas, coal and coke, used as heating fuels, pursuant to Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC, which fall below the minimum levels of taxation referred to in Article 9 of that Directive. Additional information and clarifications in support of the request were provided by the Polish authorities on 15 February 2023. It was requested that the authorisation apply for a period of six months, from 1 January 2023 until 30 June 2023.

| (2) | According to the Polish authorities, the application of a reduced tax rate aims at mitigating the negative impact that would have been caused by an increase in the level of taxation due to an unfavourably high euro-zloty exchange rate, in accordance with Article 13 of Directive 2003/96/EC. This reduction would correspond to the amount resulting from the exchange-rate difference after the annual adjustment carried out in accordance with Article 13 of that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

According to the Polish authorities, the application of a reduced tax rate aims at mitigating the negative impact that would have been caused by an increase in the level of taxation due to an unfavourably high euro-zloty exchange rate, in accordance with Article 13 of Directive 2003/96/EC. This reduction would correspond to the amount resulting from the exchange-rate difference after the annual adjustment carried out in accordance with Article 13 of that Directive.

| (3) | The requested authorisation is not likely to distort competition or hinder the proper functioning of the internal market. Given its short duration and the exceptional circumstances linked to the geopolitical situation, the requested authorisation is considered appropriate and proportionate. The authorisation strikes a balance between the specific policy objectives referred to in Article 19(1), third paragraph, of Directive 2003/96/EC, in particular the Union’s environmental policy, and the need to ensure energy affordability for businesses and households. The tax reduction would partially offset the increased energy costs and is not cumulative with any other type of tax reductions. |

  Subject: exemption of all ADR requirements for the national transport of maximum 1 000 used ionic smoke detectors from private households to the treatment facility in Belgium via the collection points foreseen in the scenario for the selective collection of smoke detectors. Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: all requirements
  Content of the national legislation: The domestic use of ionic smoke detectors is not submitted to regulatory control from a radiological point of view once the smoke detector is of an approved type. The transport of these smoke detectors to the end-user is also exempted from ADR requirements. (see 1.7.1.4. e)).
  Directive 2002/96/EC (on waste electric and electronic equipment) requires the selective collection of used smoke detectors for treatment of the circuit boards and, for the ionic smoke detectors, to take out the radioactive substances. To make this selective collection possible a scenario has been developed to stimulate private households to bring their used smoke detectors to a collection point from which these detectors can be carried to a treatment facility sometimes via a second collection point or an intermediate storage place.
  At the collection points metal packaging will be made available wherein a maximum of 1 000 smoke detectors can be packed. From these points one such package with the smoke detectors can be transported together with other wastes to an intermediate storage or the treatment facility. The package will be labelled with the word “smoke detector”.
  Initial reference to the national legislation: scenario for the selective collection of smoke detectors makes part of the conditions for removal of approved instruments foreseen in Article 3.1.d.2 of the royal decree of 20 July 2001: the general radiation protection regulation

  Comments: This derogation is necessary to make the selective collection of used ionic smoke detectors possible.

Content of the national legislation: A transport document is not required for the carriage of pesticides of ADR Classes 3 and 6.1, where the quantity of dangerous goods being carried does not exceed the quantities set out in 1.1.3.6 of the ADR.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(9) of the “Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2004”

Comments: Unnecessary, onerous requirement for local transport and delivery of such pesticides.

Expiry date: 30 June 2027

Content of the Annex to the Directive: The marking of the vehicles, the documentation to be carried and the provisions concerning transport equipment and transport operations.

Content of the national legislation: Exemption from the requirements of 5.3, 5.4, 7 and Annex B of the ADR for cylinders of gases, used as dispensing agents for beverages, where these cylinders of gases are carried on the same vehicle as the beverages (for which they are to be used).

Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to “Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004”

Comments: The main activity consists of the distribution of packages of beverages, which are not substances according to the ADR, together with small quantities of small cylinders of associated dispensing gases.

Previously under Article 6(10) of Directive 94/55/EC.

Expiry date: 30 June 2027

RO-a-IE-5

Subject: Exemption, for national transport within Ireland, from the construction and testing requirements for receptacles, and their provisions on use, contained in 6.2 and 4.1 of the ADR, for cylinders and pressure drums of gases of Class 2 that have undergone a multimodal transport journey, including maritime carriage, where (i) these cylinders and pressure drums are constructed, tested and used in accordance with the IMDG Code; (ii) these cylinders and pressure drums are not refilled in Ireland but returned nominally empty to the country of origin of the multimodal transport journey; and (iii) these cylinders and pressure drums are distributed locally in small quantities.

Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 1.1.4.2, 4.1 and 6.2.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Provisions relating to multimodal transport journeys, including maritime carriage, use of cylinders and pressure drums for gases of ADR Class 2, and construction and testing of these cylinders and pressure drums for gases of ADR Class 2.

Content of the national legislation: The provisions of 4.1 and 6.2 do not apply to cylinders and pressure drums of gases of Class 2, provided (i) these cylinders and pressure drums are constructed and tested in accordance with the IMDG Code; (ii) these cylinders and pressure drums are used in accordance with the IMDG Code; (iii) these cylinders and pressure drums were transported to the consignor by means of multimodal transport, including maritime carriage; (iv) the transport of these cylinders and pressure drums to the final user consists only of a single transport journey, completed within the same day, from the consignee of the multimodal transport operation (referred to in (iii)); (v) these cylinders and pressure drums are not refilled within the State and are returned nominally empty to the country of origin of the multimodal transport operation (referred to in (iii)); and (vi) these cylinders and pressure drums are distributed locally within the State in small quantities.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Proposed amendment to “Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations, 2004”

Comments: The gases contained in these cylinders and pressure drums are of a specification, required by the final user, which results in the need to import them from outside the ADR area. Following use, these nominally empty cylinders and pressure drums are required to be returned to the country of origin, for refilling with the specially specified gases – they are not to be refilled within Ireland or indeed within any part of the ADR area. Though not in compliance with the ADR, they are in compliance with and accepted for the purposes of the IMDG Code. The multimodal transport, beginning from outside the ADR area, is intended to finish at the importer’s premises, from where it is intended that these cylinders and pressure drums be distributed to the final user locally within Ireland in small quantities. This carriage, within Ireland, would fall within the amended Article 6(9) of Directive 94/55/EC.

Expiry date: 30 June 2023

RO-a-IE-6

Subject: Exemption from some of the provisions of Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC on the packaging, marking and labelling of small quantities (below the limits in 1.1.3.6) of time expired pyrotechnic articles of classification codes 1.3G, 1.4G and 1.4S of Class 1 of Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC, bearing the respective substance identification numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0191, UN 0195, UN 0197, UN 0240, UN 0312, UN 0403, UN 0404, UN 0453, UN 0505, UN 0506 or UN 0507 for carriage to a military barracks or range for disposal.

Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: Parts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6

Content of the Annex to the Directive: General provisions. Classification. Packaging provisions. Consignment provisions. Construction and testing of packages.

Content of the national legislation: The provisions of Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC on the packaging, marking and labelling of time expired pyrotechnic articles bearing the respective UN numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0191, UN 0195, UN 0197, UN 0240, UN 0312, UN 0403, UN 0404, UN 0453, UN 0505, UN 0506 or UN 0507 for carriage to a military barracks or range do not apply provided the general packaging provisions of Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC are complied with and additional information is included in the transport document. The derogation applies only to the local transport, to a military barracks or range, of small quantities of these time-expired pyrotechnics for safe disposal.

Initial reference to the national legislation: S.I. 349 of 2011 Regulation 57(f) and (g)

Comments: The carriage of small quantities of “time expired” marine pyrotechnics, especially from pleasure boat owners and ship chandlers, to a military barracks or range for their safe disposal has created difficulties, particularly in relation to packaging requirements. The derogation is for small quantities (below those specified in 1.1.3.6) for local transport, encompassing all UN numbers assigned to maritime pyrotechnics.

Subject: Placarding of containers

Legal basis: Directive 2008/68/EC, Article 6(2)(a).

Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 5.3.1.2.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: The placards shall be affixed to both sides and at each end of the container, MEGC, tank-container or portable tank.

Content of the national legislation: The placard doesn’t have to be fixed to the containers carrying packages when used exclusively in road transport operations. This exemption does not apply to classes 1 or 7.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Real Decreto 97/2014. Anejo 1. Apartado 8

Comments: When a container, other than a tank container, is used only for road transport, and is not related to an intermodal transport operation, it is fulfilling the functions of a swap body. Swap bodies for packaged goods carriage do not require any type of danger placards, except for classes 1 and 7.

Therefore, it has been considered convenient to exempt containers used as swap bodies in road transport operations exclusively from the requirement of placarding, excluding the container carrying goods of classes 1 or 7.

In this exemption containers are assimilated to swap bodies in relation to security conditions, there are no reasons to call for more requirements for containers than for swap bodies since these comply with more security requirements due to their specific design and construction. The rest of placarding and marking required for vehicles carrying dangerous goods shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 5.3 of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Transport document needed.

Content of the national legislation: When transporting mineral oil products in Class 3, UN 1202, 1203 and 1223 and gases in Class 2 in connection with distribution (goods to be delivered to two or more recipients and collection of returned goods in similar situations), a transport document is not required provided the written instructions besides the information requested in the ADR, contain information relating to the UN-No, name and class.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 729 af 15.8.2001 om vejtransport af farligt gods.

Comments: The reason for having that national derogation is that the development of electronic equipment makes it possible for e.g. the oil companies using such equipment to transmit continuously to the vehicles information about the customers. As this information is not available at the beginning of the transport operation and will be forwarded to the vehicle during the transport journey, it is not possible – before the transport begins – to draw up the transport documents. These kinds of transport are restricted to limited areas.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 828 af 10. juni 2017 om vejtransport af farligt gods.

Comments: A situation can easily occur where goods are transferred between private premises situated nearby each other but where it is still necessary to access public road for a very limited distance (e.g. crossing a road). This does not constitute carriage of dangerous goods on a public road in the normal sense of the term, and only more lenient terms apply.

Content of the national legislation: Dangerous goods from private households and enterprises may under certain conditions be carried to nearby waste collecting points or intermediate processing facilities for the purpose of disposal. Different provisions shall be complied with depending on the character and risks related to the transport; such as the quantity of dangerous goods per inner packaging, per outer packaging and/or per transport unit, and whether carriage of dangerous goods is ancillary to the main activity of the enterprises or not.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 818 af 28. juni 2011 om vejtransport af farligt gods § 4, stk. 3.

Comments: It is not possible for waste managers and enterprises to apply all provisions of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC when wastes that may contain residues of dangerous goods are carried from private households and/or enterprises to nearby waste collecting points for the purpose of disposal. The waste is typically packagings that have been originally carried according to the exemption of sub-section 1.1.3.1 (c) of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC and/or sold in retail. However, exemption 1.1.3.1 (c) does not apply to carriage to waste collecting points, and provisions of chapter 3.4 of Annex I, Section I.1 to Directive 2008/68/EC are not appropriate for carriage of waste inner packagings.

Remarks: This concerns local transport in tank-containers by road over short distances as part of an industrial process between two fixed production locations. In order to manufacture a pharmaceutical product, production location A delivers as part of a rule-compliant transport in 600 l tank-containers a resin solution, flammable (UN 1866), packaging group II, to production location B. Here a nitroglycerine solution is added and mixing takes place, producing a glue mixture containing nitroglycerine, desensitised, liquid, flammable, not otherwise specified, with not more than 30 % nitroglycerine by mass (UN 3343) for further use. The return transport of this substance to production location A also takes place in the said tank-containers, which have been specially checked and approved by the relevant authority for this specific transport operation and bear the tank code L10DN.

As the transport is local and as it concerns the unloading of a bulk ship, involving multiple transport loads (on the same or consecutive days) of the same substance between the bulk ship and the consignee, a single transport document, with an approximate total mass of each load, should suffice and it should not be necessary to require the Special Provision “CV24”.

Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: 6.8.2.2.2.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: In order to avoid any loss of contents in the event of damage to the external fittings (pipes, lateral shut-off devices), the internal stop valve and its seating must be protected against the danger of being wrenched off by external stresses or be so designed as to resist such stresses. The filling and discharge devices (including flanges or threaded plugs) and protective caps (if any) must be capable of being secured against any unintended opening.

Content of the national legislation: Tanks used for agricultural purposes for the distribution and application of anhydrous ammonia which were brought into service before 1 January 1997 may be equipped with external, instead of internal, safety fittings, provided they offer protection at least equivalent to the protection provided by the wall of the tank.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Real Decreto 97/2014. Anejo 1. Apartado 3.

Comments: Before 1 January 1997 a type of tank equipped with external safety fittings was used exclusively in agriculture to apply anhydrous ammonia directly onto the land. Various tanks of this kind are still in use today. They are rarely driven, laden, on the road, but are used solely for fertiliser on large farms.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Exemptions for certain quantities; special provisions; use of packaging; use of over-packaging; documentation; construction and testing of packaging; loading, unloading and handling; manning; equipment; operation; vehicles and documentation; construction and approval of vehicles.

Content of the national legislation: provisions relating to the transport of small collected domestic hazardous waste as well as domestic hazardous waste from businesses, which is supplied in appropriate packaging with a maximum capacity of 60 litres. Given the small quantities involved in each instance and given the diverse nature of the various substances, it is not possible to conduct the transport operations in total compliance with ADR rules. Accordingly, a simplified variant deviating from a number of provisions in the ADR is therefore stipulated under the abovementioned scheme.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Scheme for transport of domestic hazardous waste 2015

Comments: The scheme was set up to enable individuals and businesses to deposit small chemical waste at a single location. The substances in question therefore consist of residues such as paint waste. The danger level is minimised by the choice of means of transport, involving, inter alia, the use of special transport elements and “no smoking” notices plus a yellow flashing light clearly visible to members of the public. The crucial point as far as transport is concerned is that safety is guaranteed. This can be achieved by, for instance, having the substances transported in sealed packagings so as to avoid dispersal, or the risk of toxic vapours leaking or accumulating in the vehicle. Incorporated in the vehicle are units suitable for storing the various categories of waste and providing protection against shunting and accidental displacement as well as inadvertent opening. At the same time, notwithstanding the small quantities of waste presented, the transport operator must have a certificate of professional competence, given the diverse nature of the substances involved. Because of the lack of knowledge on the part of private individuals regarding the danger levels associated with these substances, written instructions shall be provided, as stipulated in the Annex to the scheme.

Content of the national legislation: Deviations from the regulations may be permitted if they are motivated by reasons of labour protection, unloading risks, submission of evidence etc.

Deviations from the regulations are permitted only if satisfactory safety levels are met during normal conditions of carriage.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Särskilda bestämmelser om vissa inrikes transporter av farligt gods på väg och i terräng

Comments: These derogations may be applied only by authorities seizing dangerous goods.

This derogation is intended for local transport e.g. of goods that have been seized by the police, such as explosives or stolen property. The problem with these types of goods is that one can never be sure of classifications. In addition, the goods are often not packed, marked or labelled in accordance with the ADR. There are several hundred such transportations carried out by the police every year. In the case of smuggled liquor, this must be transported from the place where it is seized to a facility where evidence is stored and then on to a facility for destruction; the latter two may be quite far apart from each other. The deviations permitted are: (a) each package does not need to be labelled; and (b) approved packages do not need to be used. However, each pallet containing such packages must be correctly labelled. All other requirements must be fulfilled. There are approximately 20 such transportations each year.

Content of the national legislation: When carrying UN 0335 fireworks, Special Provision V2 (1) in 7.2.4 is applicable only to a net explosive content of more than 3 000 kg (4 000 kg with trailer), provided the fireworks have been assigned to UN 0335 according to the default fireworks classification table in 2.1.3.5.5 of the fourteenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

Such assignment shall be made with the agreement of the competent authority. A verification of the assignment shall be carried on the transport unit.

Initial reference to the national legislation: Appendix S – Specific regulations for the domestic transport of dangerous goods by road issued in accordance with the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act

Comments: The carriage of fireworks is limited in time to two short periods of the year, the turn of the year and the turn of the month April/May. The carriage from consignors to terminals can be effected by the present fleet of EX-approved vehicles without great problems. However, the distribution both of fireworks from terminals to shopping areas and of the surplus back to the terminal is limited due to a lack of EX-approved vehicles. The carriers are not interested in investing in such approvals because they cannot recover their costs. This places the whole existence of consignors of fireworks in jeopardy because they cannot get their products on the market.

When using this derogation, the classification of the fireworks must be made on the basis of the default list in the UN Recommendations, in order to get the most up-to-date classification possible.

A similar type of exception exists for UN 0336 fireworks incorporated in Special Provision 651, 3.3.1 of the ADR 2005.
