COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1084/2010

of 25 November 2010

amending Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 on laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products, as regards equivalence under Inward Processing

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 167 and 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | According to the second subparagraph of Article 12(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 (2), export refunds are to be granted where the ingredient, or ingredients, in respect of which the refund is claimed, were originally of Community (currently Union) origin and/or in free circulation as provided for in paragraph 1 thereof and are no longer in free circulation on account solely of their incorporation in other products. That provision applies when products of Community origin and/or in free circulation are processed under Inward Processing as set out in Articles 114 to 129 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

According to the second subparagraph of Article 12(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 (2), export refunds are to be granted where the ingredient, or ingredients, in respect of which the refund is claimed, were originally of Community (currently Union) origin and/or in free circulation as provided for in paragraph 1 thereof and are no longer in free circulation on account solely of their incorporation in other products. That provision applies when products of Community origin and/or in free circulation are processed under Inward Processing as set out in Articles 114 to 129 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3).

| (2) | According to Article 84(1)(b) and Article 89 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, Inward Processing is a customs procedure with economic impact and a suspensive procedure which shall be discharged when a new customs-approved treatment or use is assigned to the goods placed under that arrangement or to compensating products placed under it. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

According to Article 84(1)(b) and Article 89 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, Inward Processing is a customs procedure with economic impact and a suspensive procedure which shall be discharged when a new customs-approved treatment or use is assigned to the goods placed under that arrangement or to compensating products placed under it.

| (3) | Article 115(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 provides that the customs authorities have to allow compensating products to be obtained from equivalent goods and compensating products obtained from equivalent goods to be exported from the Community before importation of the import goods. Article 114(2)(e) of that Regulation defines equivalent goods as Community goods which are used instead of the import goods for the manufacture of compensating products. According to Article 545(2) and (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Customs Code (4), equivalent goods and compensating products made therefrom become non-Community goods and the import goods Community goods at the time of acceptance of the declaration discharging the arrangements, or where import goods are put on the market before the arrangements are discharged, they change their status at the time they are put on the market. In case of prior exportation, compensating products become non-Community goods on acceptance of the export declaration on condition that the goods to be imported are entered for the arrangements; import goods become Community goods at the time of their entry for the arrangements. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Article 115(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 provides that the customs authorities have to allow compensating products to be obtained from equivalent goods and compensating products obtained from equivalent goods to be exported from the Community before importation of the import goods. Article 114(2)(e) of that Regulation defines equivalent goods as Community goods which are used instead of the import goods for the manufacture of compensating products. According to Article 545(2) and (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Customs Code (4), equivalent goods and compensating products made therefrom become non-Community goods and the import goods Community goods at the time of acceptance of the declaration discharging the arrangements, or where import goods are put on the market before the arrangements are discharged, they change their status at the time they are put on the market. In case of prior exportation, compensating products become non-Community goods on acceptance of the export declaration on condition that the goods to be imported are entered for the arrangements; import goods become Community goods at the time of their entry for the arrangements.

| (4) | As under the rules on the use of equivalent goods the customs status of import goods changes into Community status, and the Inward Processing arrangement is or will be discharged by that, the import goods are not subject to import duties. Consequently, the price level in the Union of the equivalent exported goods of Community origin is in that situation compensated by the world market price level of the import goods, and therefore there is no justification for the equivalent exported goods to be covered for the difference between the world market price and the price in the Union by an export refund as set out in Article 162 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |

| (5) | For the sake of clarity and legal certainty it is appropriate to exclude the granting of export refunds explicitly in Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 when products are exported under rules on the use of equivalent goods. |

opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for importing sweet potatoes, manioc, manioc starch and other products falling within CN codes 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 and amending Regulation (EU) No 1000/2010

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144(1) and Article 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | As a result of the agreements reached in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) multilateral trade negotiations, the Commission has drawn up a ‘CXL-European Communities’ schedule (hereinafter the ‘CXL schedule’), listing the concessions granted. The schedule requires the Union to open certain annual tariff quotas for the products falling within CN codes 0714 10 91, ex 0714 10 98, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in Indonesia, the People’s Republic of China (China), other contracting parties to the WTO excluding Thailand and certain third countries that are not members of the WTO. Under those quotas the customs duty is limited to 6 % ad valorem. The quotas are to be opened on a multiannual basis and administered by the Commission. |

Under those quotas the customs duty is limited to 6 % ad valorem. The quotas are to be opened on a multiannual basis and administered by the Commission.

| (2) | The CXL schedule also requires the Union to open two duty-free tariff quotas for sweet potatoes falling within CN code 0714 20 90 in favour of China and other third countries respectively, as well as two tariff quotas for manioc starch falling within CN code 1108 14 00 in favour of other third countries. |

The CXL schedule also requires the Union to open two duty-free tariff quotas for sweet potatoes falling within CN code 0714 20 90 in favour of China and other third countries respectively, as well as two tariff quotas for manioc starch falling within CN code 1108 14 00 in favour of other third countries.

| (3) | The agreement in the form of an exchange of letters on the consultations between the European Community and the Kingdom of Thailand under GATT Article XXIII (2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the agreement with Thailand’), approved by Council Decision 96/317/EC of 13 May 1996 concerning the conclusion of the results of consultations with Thailand under GATT Article XXIII (3), provides for the opening of an additional autonomous annual tariff quota of 10 500 tonnes of manioc starch, 10 000 tonnes of which are reserved for Thailand. The applicable duty is the most favoured nation duty (MFN duty) in force, less EUR 100 per tonne. |

The agreement in the form of an exchange of letters on the consultations between the European Community and the Kingdom of Thailand under GATT Article XXIII (2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the agreement with Thailand’), approved by Council Decision 96/317/EC of 13 May 1996 concerning the conclusion of the results of consultations with Thailand under GATT Article XXIII (3), provides for the opening of an additional autonomous annual tariff quota of 10 500 tonnes of manioc starch, 10 000 tonnes of which are reserved for Thailand. The applicable duty is the most favoured nation duty (MFN duty) in force, less EUR 100 per tonne.

| (4) | The detailed rules for the application of the management of all these import tariff quotas, hereinafter referred to as ‘the quotas’ are currently laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2402/96 of 17 December 1996 opening and setting administrative rules for certain annual tariff quotas for sweet potatoes and manioc starch (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 27/2008 of 15 January 2008 opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 0714 10 91, ex 0714 10 98, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand (5). |

The detailed rules for the application of the management of all these import tariff quotas, hereinafter referred to as ‘the quotas’ are currently laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2402/96 of 17 December 1996 opening and setting administrative rules for certain annual tariff quotas for sweet potatoes and manioc starch (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 27/2008 of 15 January 2008 opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 0714 10 91, ex 0714 10 98, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand (5).

| (5) | The use of the first come, first served principle has proved positive in other agricultural sectors, and in the interest of administrative simplification, those quotas should henceforth be administered in accordance with the method indicated in Article 144(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. This should be done in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6). |

| (6) | Having regard to the particularities involved in the transfer from one management system to another, Article 308c(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 should not apply to the tariff period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011. |

| (7) | In the case of sweet potatoes, it is important to differentiate those intended for human consumption from other products; the presentation and packaging of sweet potatoes falling within CN code 0714 20 10 (for human consumption) should therefore be specified and products not meeting those presentation and packaging specifications should be considered to fall within CN code 0714 20 90. |

| (8) | It is necessary to maintain a system of administration which ensures that only products originating in Indonesia, China and Thailand can be imported under the quotas allocated to those countries. It should be clarified which kind of proof certifying the origin of products has to be provided to benefit from these tariff quotas under the first come, first served system. |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/81/EU

of 25 November 2010

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance 2-phenylphenol

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | By Commission Directive 2009/160/EU (2) 2-phenylphenol was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE, with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise indoor uses as a post-harvest fungicide in closed drench chambers. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

By Commission Directive 2009/160/EU (2) 2-phenylphenol was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE, with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise indoor uses as a post-harvest fungicide in closed drench chambers.

| (2) | On 18 June 2010 the notifier submitted information on other application techniques, such as wax treatment, dipping treatment and foam curtain treatment, in order to remove the restriction to closed drench chambers. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

On 18 June 2010 the notifier submitted information on other application techniques, such as wax treatment, dipping treatment and foam curtain treatment, in order to remove the restriction to closed drench chambers.

| (3) | Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 (3), evaluated the additional information and submitted to the Commission on 30 July 2010 an addendum to the draft assessment report on 2-phenylphenol, which was circulated for comments to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the comments received no major concerns were raised and the other Member States and EFSA did not raise any point which would exclude the extension of the use. The draft assessment report together with that addendum was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 2-phenylphenol. |

(3)

Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 (3), evaluated the additional information and submitted to the Commission on 30 July 2010 an addendum to the draft assessment report on 2-phenylphenol, which was circulated for comments to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the comments received no major concerns were raised and the other Member States and EFSA did not raise any point which would exclude the extension of the use. The draft assessment report together with that addendum was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 2-phenylphenol.

| (4) | The new information on the application techniques submitted by the notifier and the new assessment carried out by the rapporteur Member State indicate that plant protection products containing 2-phenylphenol may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the indoor uses as a post-harvest fungicide which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to restrict the use of 2-phenylphenol to closed drench chambers, as laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC as amended by Directive 2009/160/EU. |

Consequently, it is no longer necessary to restrict the use of 2-phenylphenol to closed drench chambers, as laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC as amended by Directive 2009/160/EU.

| (5) | Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the notifier submit further information to confirm the residue levels occurring as a result of application techniques other than those in drench chambers. |

Before inflating the vehicle’s tyres, leave the vehicle stationary outside at ambient temperature with the engine off shaded from direct sunlight and not exposed to wind or other heating or chilling influences for at least one hour. Inflate the vehicle’s tyres to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure (Prec), in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation for the speed and load conditions, and tyre positions. All pressure measurements shall be carried out using the same test equipment.

2.2.   With the vehicle stationary and the ignition locking system in the ‘Lock’ or ‘Off’ position, activate the ignition locking system to the ‘On’ or ‘Run’ position. The tyre pressure monitoring system shall perform a check of lamp function for the low tyre pressure tell-tale as specified in paragraph 5.3.5.2 of this Regulation. [This last requirement does not apply to tell-tales shown in a common space.]

2.3.   If applicable, set or reset the tyre pressure monitoring system in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

2.4.   Learning phase

2.4.1.   Drive the vehicle for a minimum of 20 minutes within the speed range in paragraph 1.4.2 to this Annex, and with an average speed of 80 km/h (+/– 10 km/h). It is allowed to be outside the speed range for a maximum cumulative time of 2 minutes during the learning phase.

2.4.2   At the discretion of the technical service, where the driving test is undertaken on a track (circle/oval) with only turns in a single direction, then the driving test in paragraph 2.4.1 above should be equally split (+/– 2 minutes) in both directions.

2.4.3   Within the 5 minutes of completing the learning phase, measure the warm pressure of the tyre(s) to be deflated. The warm pressure shall be taken as the value Pwarm. This value will be used for subsequent operations.

2.5.   Deflation phase

2.5.1.   Procedure for the puncture test to verify the requirements of paragraph 5.3.2 to this Regulation

Deflate one of the vehicle’s tyres within 5 minutes of measuring the warm pressure as described in paragraph 2.4.3 above, until it is at Pwarm – 20 per cent, or it is at a minimum pressure of 150 kPa, whichever is higher, namely Ptest. Following a stabilisation period of between 2 and 5 minutes the pressure Ptest shall be rechecked and adjusted if necessary.

2.5.2.   Procedure for the diffusion test to verify the requirements of paragraph 5.3.3 to this Regulation

Deflate all four tyres within 5 minutes of measuring the warm pressure as described in paragraph 2.4.3 above, until the deflated tyres are at Pwarm – 20 per cent plus a further deflation of 7 kPa, namely Ptest. Following a stabilisation period of between 2 and 5 minutes the pressure Ptest shall be rechecked and adjusted if necessary.

2.6.   Low tyre pressure detection phase

2.6.1.   Procedure for the puncture test to verify the requirements of paragraph 5.3.2 to this Regulation

| 2.6.1.1. | Drive the vehicle along any portion of the test course (not necessarily continuously). The sum of the total cumulative drive time shall be the lesser of 10 minutes or the time at which the low tyre pressure tell-tale illuminates. |
| --- | --- |

2.6.1.1.

2.6.2.   Procedure for the diffusion test to verify the requirements of paragraph 5.3.3 to this Regulation

| 2.6.2.1 | Drive the vehicle along any portion of the test course. After not less than 20 minutes and not more than 40 minutes bring the vehicle to a complete standstill with the engine switched off and the ignition key removed for not less than 1 minute or more than 3 minutes. Resume the test. The sum of the total cumulative drive time shall be the lesser of 60 minutes of cumulative driving under the conditions set out in paragraph 1.4.2 above or the time at which the low tyre pressure tell-tale illuminates. |
| --- | --- |

2.6.2.1

2.6.3.   If the low tyre pressure signal did not illuminate, discontinue the test.

2.7.   If the low tyre pressure tell-tale illuminated during the procedure in paragraph 2.6 above, deactivate the ignition locking system to the ‘Off’ or ‘Lock’ position. After a 5 minutes period, reactivate the vehicle's ignition locking system to the ‘On’ (‘Run’) position. The tell-tale must illuminate and remain illuminated as long as the ignition locking system is in the ‘On’ (‘Run’) position.

2.8.   Inflate all of the vehicle's tyres to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure. Reset the system in accordance with the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. Determine whether the tell-tale has extinguished. If necessary, drive the vehicle until the tell-tale has been extinguished. If the tell-tale does not extinguish, discontinue the test.

2.9.   Repetition of the deflation phase

The test may be repeated, at the same or different loads, using the relevant test procedures in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.8 above, with the relevant tyre(s) on the vehicle under-inflated, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 to this Regulation, whichever is relevant.

3.   TPMS MALFUNCTION DETECTION

3.1.   Simulate a TPMS malfunction, for example, by disconnecting the power source to any TPMS component, disconnecting any electrical connection between TPMS components, or installing a tyre or wheel on the vehicle that is incompatible with the TPMS. When simulating a TPMS malfunction, the electrical connections for the tell-tale lamps shall not be disconnected.

3.2.   Drive the vehicle for up to 10 minutes of cumulative time (not necessarily continuously) along any portion of the test course.

3.3.   The sum of the total cumulative drive time under paragraph 3.2 shall be the lesser of 10 minutes or the time at which the TPMS malfunction tell-tale illuminates.

3.4.   If the TPMS malfunction indicator did not illuminate in accordance with paragraph 5.3.4 to this Regulation, as required, discontinue the test.

3.5.   If the TPMS malfunction indicator is illuminated or illuminates during the procedure in paragraphs 3.1 to 3.3 above, deactivate the ignition locking system to the ‘Off’ or ‘Lock’ position. After 5 minutes, reactivate the vehicle's ignition locking system to the ‘On’ (‘Run’) position. The TPMS malfunction indicator shall again signal a malfunction and remain illuminated as long as the ignition locking system is in the ‘On’ (‘Run’) position.

3.6.   Restore the TPMS to normal operation. If necessary, drive the vehicle until the warning signal has extinguished. If the warning lamp has not extinguished, discontinue the test.

3.7.   The test may be repeated using the test procedures in paragraphs 3.1 to 3.6 above, with each such test limited to simulation of a single malfunction.
