1.

An article in the form of a module in its own housing with dimensions of approximately 11 × 7 × 5 cm (so-called ‘analogue input module’).

The module consists of two printed circuit boards comprising an input interface with four channels, an analogue-to-digital converter, a processor and a bus interface for connection to a programmable logic controller (PLC). The module has an input voltage range from 0 up to 10 V DC.

The module receives analogue signals representing, for example, measurements of temperature, speed, flow or weight from various external devices.

The module converts and processes these signals before sending them to the PLC.

8538 90 99

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and the wording of CN codes 8538, 8538 90 and 8538 90 99.

As the module constitutes an interface between external devices and a numerical control apparatus of heading 8537, classification under heading 8471 as an input unit is excluded.

As the module receives, converts, processes and sends electrical signals to the PLC, classification under heading 8536 as a switch or a relay for making connections to or in electrical circuits is excluded.

As the module does not control external devices by itself, but only constitutes the interface between such devices and the PLC, classification under heading 8537 as an electric control apparatus is excluded.

As the analogue-to-digital conversion is only an intermediate process, classification under heading 8543 as electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85 is excluded.

Since the intended use of the module is to receive, convert and process signals representing measurements received from external devices and send them to the PLC, the module is essential for the operation of the PLC of heading 8537.

The article is therefore to be classified under heading 8538 as parts of apparatus of headings 8535 to 8537.

| 2. | An article in the form of a module in its own housing with dimensions of approximately 11 × 7 × 5 cm (so-called ‘discrete output module’).
  The module consists of a printed circuit board comprising a bus interface for connection to a programmable logic controller (PLC), a processor, a digital-to-analogue converter and an output interface with 8 connecting points.
  The output connecting points are relays of the electromagnetic type with an output voltage range from 0 up to 250 V AC and a load current per point up to 0,17 A.
  The module processes and converts discrete signals representing an On/Off signal (for example, 1/0 or True/False) before sending them to various external devices, such as contactors, relays and indicator lamps. |

As the module receives, processes, converts and sends electrical signals to external devices, classification under heading 8536 as a switch or relay for making connections to or in electrical circuits is excluded.

The output connecting points (constituted by electromagnetic relays) are only a part of the module which consists, in addition to the connecting points, of the bus interface, the processor and the digital-to-analogue converter. Moreover, the module does not control external devices by itself, but only constitutes the interface between the PLC and such devices. Classification under heading 8537 as an electric control apparatus is therefore excluded.

As the digital-to-analogue conversion is only an intermediate process, classification under heading 8543 as electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85 is excluded.

| --- | --- |

—

a signal generator for determining the correct position of the cables (safety monitoring system).

The machine is installed in a lift shaft for lifting and lowering the cabin.

8425 31 00

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(a) to Section XVI and the wording of CN codes 8425 and 8425 31 00.

The machine consists of an electric motor and a pulley on the shaft of the motor. Given its characteristics, it is to be considered to be a winch of heading 8425.

The presence of a braking system or the absence of a cable or belt does not exclude classification as a winch (see also the HS classification opinion 8425.31/1). The presence of the safety monitoring system does not alter the characteristics of a winch.

Classification as a part of a lift under heading 8431 is therefore excluded.

The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8425 31 00 as a winch powered by an electric motor.

The apparatus is only capable of capturing and recording video files in the form of sequences of images in MPEG4-AVI format. Video is recorded in a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels at 30 frames per second for a maximum of 2 hours.

Video sequences recorded by the apparatus can either be transferred to an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine, via the USB interface, without modifying the format of the video files, or to a digital video recorder, a monitor or a television set via the AV interface.

Video files can be transferred to the apparatus from an ADP machine, via the USB interface.

8525 80 99

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8525, 8525 80 and 8525 80 99.

As the apparatus is only capable of recording video, classification as a digital camera under CN code 8525 80 30 is excluded. Given its characteristics, the apparatus is a video camera recorder.

As the apparatus is capable of recording video files from sources other than the incorporated television camera, classification under CN code 8525 80 91 as video camera recorders only able to record sound and images taken by the television camera is excluded.

It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8525 80 99 as other video camera recorders.

| (11) | The dry-bulk terminal and the two berths will be operated by private parties. To that end, the port authority will conclude concession contracts with port service providers for a period of 35 years. No tender will be carried out in order to grant the concession contracts. The concession fee to be paid by the chosen port services providers has been established beforehand on the basis of an evaluation carried out by an independent expert. |

2.4.   GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AS REGARDS THE AID CHARACTER OF THE MEASURE AT THE LEVEL OF THE CONCESSION HOLDERS

2.4.1.   EXISTENCE OF STATE AID

| (23) | In its opening decision, the Commission took the preliminarily view that the criteria required to conclude that the port authority behaved like a private investor when establishing the concession fees to be charged to the future concession holders were not fully complied with. |

In its opening decision, the Commission took the preliminarily view that the criteria required to conclude that the port authority behaved like a private investor when establishing the concession fees to be charged to the future concession holders were not fully complied with.

The Commission expressed doubts both as to the methodology used to establish the concession fee itself, as well as to the independent character of the expert’s valuation.

2.4.1.1.   Methodologies used by the port authority to establish the concession fees

| (25) | The independent expert which valuated the concession fees has used two different methodologies, namely benchmarking and income. With regard to the liquid berth, the expert only used income. |
| --- | --- |

(25)

The independent expert which valuated the concession fees has used two different methodologies, namely benchmarking and income. With regard to the liquid berth, the expert only used income.

| (26) | With regard to benchmarking, the Commission observed that it was mainly based on ongoing contracts in the same port. Therefore, the Commission raised doubts as to its reliability. The Commission noted that such benchmarking could not be conclusive insofar as there was no indication that a market oriented concession fee is paid pursuant to the contracts used as reference. In addition, the Commission noted that the analysis has been carried out in respect to the same three concession agreements for both the dry bulk terminal and berth No 12 for general and bulk cargo, despite the fact that those terminals appear to differ substantially in their nature. |

2.4.1.2.   Independent character of the expert’s valuation

| (28) | The Commission noted that a decision taken by the port board already in March 2006 showed the commitment of the port to grant the concession for the operation of berth No 35 to [...] after completion of the construction works. The methodology of calculation of the concession fee, based on the same principles as the independent evaluation, is detailed therein. Consequently, the Commission raised doubts as to the independent character of the evaluation as such. |

2.4.1.3.   Conclusion

| (29) | The Commission considered that the public financing of the construction of the terminal and the two berths appeared to provide a selective economic advantage to the operators of the infrastructure in question and thus to constitute aid in the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU. |

2.4.2.   COMPATIBILITY OF THE AID

| (30) | The Commission took the preliminary view that any aid to the concession holders would constitute operating aid, relieving them from costs they would normally have to bear. According to the case law of the Court, such operating aid is in principle incompatible with the internal market (5). |

Since the measure to be put in place by the Latvian authorities does not entail an economic advantage for the future concession holders, it does not therefore cumulatively fulfil the conditions required to be considered State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU. |

These factors, compounded with children’s higher centre of gravity, makes balancing difficult.

| (12) | According to the Injury Data Base, 37 % of injuries involving a bicycle user in the EU concerned children aged between 5 and 9 years (5) Although road accidents account for a significant share of these accidents, many accidents take place while playing, as young cyclists collide with objects or other people, or simply fall off their bikes. In the United Kingdom, it has been estimated that over 2 000 children are taken to hospital each year after a cycling accident at home, and a further 21 000 after accidents in places like parks and playgrounds (6). |

ANNEX

PART I

Specific safety requirements for bicycles

SECTION 1

Safety requirements applicable to all types of bicycles

1.   General requirements

All types of bicycles shall be designed to fit the riding abilities and physical state of the intended user. Particular attention must be given to the design of bicycles for young children.

The level of risks of injury or damage to health while riding a bicycle shall be the minimum compatible with reasonable, foreseeable use of the product, considered to be acceptable and consistent with a high level of health and safety protection.

All parts accessible to the user during normal or intended use shall not cause physical injuries.

Users shall be informed of the risks and dangers likely to occur and how to prevent them (see section on product safety information).

Bicycles shall be equipped with lighting equipment and reflectors at the front, back and at the sides to ensure good visibility of the bicycle and of its rider. These devices shall comply with the provisions in force in the country in which the product is marketed.

The manufacturer shall indicate the recommended maximum permissible load (e.g. weight of rider and passengers, luggage, luggage carrier, etc.) for which a bicycle is designed.

The manufacturer shall indicate whether or not a bicycle is suitable for the fitting of a luggage carrier and (or) a child seat.

2.   Physical properties

Handling

The fully-assembled bicycle shall offer stable handling while riding, braking, turning and steering. It shall be possible to ride the bicycle with one hand removed from the handlebar (as when giving hand signals) without it becoming difficult to operate or hazardous to the rider.

Stability

All parts of a bicycle shall be constructed to provide a level of stability compatible with normal use by the intended user.

It shall be possible to ride the bicycle with one hand removed from the handlebar (as when giving hand signals) without it becoming difficult to operate or hazardous to the rider. The bicycle with a loaded luggage carrier shall offer stable handling while riding, braking, turning and steering.

Durability/Fatigue

All parts of a bicycle shall be safe for the intended user during the whole duration of the product. Where appropriate, these parts shall feature an indication of wear limits within which they shall be replaced in order to be fully functional.

The effect of weather conditions (e.g. rain) on the braking systems shall be minimised.

Braking systems

A bicycle shall be equipped with at least two independent braking systems. At least one shall operate on the front wheel and one on the rear wheel. The braking systems shall be designed to ensure safety for both wet and dry braking.

The decision on whether the rear braking system is operated by the rider’s hand or foot should be in accordance with the legislation, custom or preference of the country to which the bicycle is to be supplied.

Sharp edges

Any exposed edges that could come into contact with the user’s body during normal riding or normal handling or maintenance shall not be sharp.

Entrapment

Bicycles shall not pose any risk of entrapment that can be avoided by design.

If there is a risk of entrapment during normal use or maintenance, this shall be mentioned in the users’ manual/warnings on the bicycle.

Protrusions

Protrusions shall be avoided whenever harmful to the user.

3.   Mechanical properties

Folding mechanisms

Folding mechanisms shall be functional, stable and safe against unintentional opening during use and shall not cause injuries.

Fasteners

All fasteners, screws, spokes and nipples used on a bicycle shall be accurately sized and made of suitable material to avoid injuries.

All fasteners and screws used at safety-relevant points on a bicycle shall be secured to avoid unintentional loosening.

Adjustability and controls

Bicycle parts designed to be adjusted to the size or to the shape of the user, such as the saddle or the handlebar, shall be easily manipulated without jeopardising the safety of the user. The instructions shall indicate the appropriate tool to use, taking into account the intended user. All control parts shall be easily and safely accessible under conditions of normal use. They shall be constructed and mounted to enable the user to keep control of the bicycle. In particular, the rider shall be able to brake and shift gears with at least one hand on the handlebar.

4.   Chemical properties

All items which come into contact with the rider shall not cause any toxicity hazard to the intended user, particularly as regards bicycles for children.

5.   Testing methods

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 29 November 2011

authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. as regards Egypt

(notified under document C(2011) 8618)

(2011/787/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. (also known as Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith) is an organism harmful to tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. and as such is subject to measures provided for by Directive 2000/29/EC and Council Directive 98/57/EC of 20 July 1998 on the control of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. (also known as Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith) is an organism harmful to tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. and as such is subject to measures provided for by Directive 2000/29/EC and Council Directive 98/57/EC of 20 July 1998 on the control of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al (2).

| (2) | Following interceptions in the Union of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. on tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt, the Commission adopted Decision 2004/4/EC of 22 December 2003 authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt (3). That Decision prohibited the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt unless certain requirements were complied with. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Following interceptions in the Union of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. on tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt, the Commission adopted Decision 2004/4/EC of 22 December 2003 authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt (3). That Decision prohibited the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt unless certain requirements were complied with.

| (3) | During the last years further interceptions of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. have occurred on tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt. Therefore, emergency measures against the dissemination of the harmful organism concerned should continue to be in place with regard to the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

During the last years further interceptions of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. have occurred on tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt. Therefore, emergency measures against the dissemination of the harmful organism concerned should continue to be in place with regard to the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt.

| (4) | However, those emergency measures should be adapted to respond to a situation which has improved as a result of actions taken by Egypt, in particular a new control regime for the production and export of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. to the Union presented by Egypt. In addition, during the 2010/2011 import season no interception of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. has been recorded in the Union. |

However, those emergency measures should be adapted to respond to a situation which has improved as a result of actions taken by Egypt, in particular a new control regime for the production and export of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. to the Union presented by Egypt. In addition, during the 2010/2011 import season no interception of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. has been recorded in the Union.

| (5) | Therefore, the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt should be permitted if they have been grown in certain areas established by Egypt in accordance with the relevant international standards. The Commission should convey the list of those areas, submitted by Egypt, to the Member States to allow them to carry out import controls and to enable traceability of consignments. Provision should be made for updating that list in the case of an interception of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. In addition, the Union control requirements for the import of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt should be limited to an intensive inspection regime at the arrival of those tubers in the Union. |

I.   Implementation details for CSD access criterion 1

In order to receive a positive assessment against this criterion:

| --- | --- |

(a)

for a CSD located in a European Economic Area (EEA) country, the CSD must be included on the list of designated systems maintained in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 98/26/EC; and

| (b) | for a CSD located in a non-EEA country, a legal opinion, as updated from time to time when there are material changes that might have an impact on the legal opinion or when requested by the T2S Programme Board, from a firm approved by the T2S Programme Board must be submitted, confirming that the CSD operates under a legal and regulatory framework equivalent to the relevant one in force in the Union. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

for a CSD located in a non-EEA country, a legal opinion, as updated from time to time when there are material changes that might have an impact on the legal opinion or when requested by the T2S Programme Board, from a firm approved by the T2S Programme Board must be submitted, confirming that the CSD operates under a legal and regulatory framework equivalent to the relevant one in force in the Union.

II.   Implementation details for CSD access criterion 2

Where a CSD does not fully comply with all ESCB/CESR recommendations, the respective CSD will inform the T2S Programme Board of the relevant details and provide explanations and evidence regarding those ECSB/CESR recommendations with which it does not comply. The CSD will also provide the T2S Programme Board with the conclusions by the relevant competent authorities in the assessment report. The assessment conclusions will be processed in accordance with the relevant application procedures for access to T2S services and ongoing compliance with the five CSD access criteria. Where a CSD with access to T2S services no longer complies with one of the five CSD access criteria, the T2S Programme Board will initiate the procedure provided for in the contracts with the CSDs.

A CSD will fulfil this CSD access criterion where:

| (a) | for a CSD located in an EEA country, the relevant competent authorities have given that CSD a positive assessment under the ESCB/CESR recommendations; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

for a CSD located in an EEA country, the relevant competent authorities have given that CSD a positive assessment under the ESCB/CESR recommendations; and

| (b) | for a CSD located in a non-EEA country, the relevant competent authorities have given that CSD a positive assessment under the ESCB/CESR recommendations or equivalent standards, such as the proprietary standards of a relevant competent authority or the CPSS/IOSCO Recommendations (1). In the latter case, the T2S Programme Board or the Governing Council respectively must be provided with evidence that the CSD has been assessed against standards of a similar level and nature. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

for a CSD located in a non-EEA country, the relevant competent authorities have given that CSD a positive assessment under the ESCB/CESR recommendations or equivalent standards, such as the proprietary standards of a relevant competent authority or the CPSS/IOSCO Recommendations (1). In the latter case, the T2S Programme Board or the Governing Council respectively must be provided with evidence that the CSD has been assessed against standards of a similar level and nature.

Where the relevant competent authorities’ assessment contains confidential information, the CSD must provide a general summary or the assessment conclusion to show its level of compliance.

III.   Implementation details for CSD access criterion 3

A CSD with access to T2S services is not required to hold all its accounts and balances in T2S for every security/ISIN it issues or for which it acts as technical issuer CSD. However, it must make a security/ISIN available at no additional cost, without delay, and with a contract that does not impose unreasonable conditions on requests by the users of the investor CSD in T2S. Some investment fund shares may not be automatically available to the investor CSD opening an account with the issuer CSD due to legal restrictions on cross-border distributions applicable to the investment fund share issuers.

An issuer CSD is required to comply with the national regulatory framework, but may not pass on costs resulting from the application of this framework to other CSDs in T2S. This requirement ensures that the costs of complying with the national regulatory framework stay local and that there is reciprocity among CSDs in T2S. In addition, this requirement promotes a harmonised settlement processes in T2S to the extent possible.

An issuer CSD is required to comply with the national regulatory framework, but it must support an investor CSD requesting access and it may not apply an additional settlement cost. Any delay caused by compliance with the national regulatory framework must apply equally to all parties.

The investor CSD may request a security/ISIN that is not yet available in T2S from the respective issuer CSD or technical issuer CSD. Upon receiving such a request, the issuer CSD or technical issuer CSD enters all the security’s reference data in T2S and makes them accessible within the time-frame defined in the Manual of Operational Procedures to be provided by the Eurosystem to the CSDs and the CBs.

Provided the investor CSD has signed the required contractual terms, the issuer CSD opens, without undue delay, at least one securities account for a specific security/ISIN for the investor CSD. Refusal by an issuer CSD to open a securities account and provide the investor CSD with access to the issuer CSD’s securities constitutes non-compliance with CSD access criterion 3.

The investor CSD must report to the T2S Programme Board every case of non-compliance with CSD access criterion 3 by an issuer CSD. Depending on the nature and occurrence of non-compliance, the T2S Programme Board will determine if the issuer CSD shows a consistent failure to comply, in which case the procedure provided for in the contracts with the CSDs, pursuant to Article 16 of Guideline ECB/2010/2, will apply.

IV.   Implementation details for CSD access criterion 4

This CSD access criterion conforms to the Access and Interoperability Guideline (2) which states that investor CSDs shall have access to issuer CSD services based on the same terms and conditions as provided to any other standard participant of the issuer CSD.

In order for an investor CSD to provide settlement services for securities issued by an issuer CSD, the investor CSD must also provide its participants with basic custody services in relation to those securities. T2S offers core cash and securities settlement in central bank money, where the basic custody services are provided outside T2S.

The issuer CSD must comply with the T2S Corporate Actions Subgroup Standards (3) and all relevant T2S standards or market practices.

The investor CSD must be treated as any other issuer CSD client. An issuer CSD may not impose technical barriers or offer preferential conditions to investor CSDs to access basic custody services.

V.   Implementation details for CSD access criterion 5

A level playing field must be maintained between direct and indirect holding markets in implementing CSD access criterion 5. A CSD from a direct holding market may in principle migrate to T2S either by integrating all its securities accounts into T2S or by using the layered model with technical participant accounts in T2S and the end-investor accounts remaining on the local CSD platform. CSD access criterion 5 is fully met where a direct holding market chooses to fully integrate and maintain all its securities accounts in T2S. However, where a direct holding market chooses to migrate to T2S with the layered model, the T2S Programme Board’s evaluation of the associated processes inside and outside T2S, taking into account the essence of CSD access criterion 5, must indicate whether the market needs to request a derogation from CSD access criterion 5.
