COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/254

of 6 February 2023

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 as regards certain technical rules on the management of tariff rate quotas

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 187 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 (2) lays down the rules for the management of import and export tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import and export licences and provides for specific rules. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 (2) lays down the rules for the management of import and export tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import and export licences and provides for specific rules.

| (2) | Article 6(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 provides, that if an applicant submits more applications for a tariff quota than the maximum number set out in Article 6(3) of that Implementing Regulation, all his applications are inadmissible and the securities lodged forfeited. To avoid excessive punishment the possibility to forfeit the security should be eliminated. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Article 6(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 provides, that if an applicant submits more applications for a tariff quota than the maximum number set out in Article 6(3) of that Implementing Regulation, all his applications are inadmissible and the securities lodged forfeited. To avoid excessive punishment the possibility to forfeit the security should be eliminated.

| (3) | According to Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761, operators applying for licences for tariff rate quotas referred to in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 (3) are bound to lodge the relevant securities before the end of the application period. For licences not related to tariff quotas, instead, operators are to lodge the security on the day of application for a licence. This situation can create difficulties in the management of licences. To avoid any risks of mismanagement and abuse, national licence issuing authorities should be given the possibility to set the deadline for lodging the securities for tariff quota licences. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

According to Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761, operators applying for licences for tariff rate quotas referred to in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760 (3) are bound to lodge the relevant securities before the end of the application period. For licences not related to tariff quotas, instead, operators are to lodge the security on the day of application for a licence. This situation can create difficulties in the management of licences. To avoid any risks of mismanagement and abuse, national licence issuing authorities should be given the possibility to set the deadline for lodging the securities for tariff quota licences.

| (4) | Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 of the Council (4) provides that when a period ends on a public holiday, Saturday, or Sunday, its end is to be postponed to the end of the following working day. Article 13(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 provides that this rule does not apply to the period of validity of licences for tariff rate quotas. Article 12(1), point (e), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 provides that this rule is to be indicated in a specific section of licences for tariff rate quotas where the period of validity of the licence expires on the last day of the tariff quota period. Therefore, Article 12(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 should be aligned to Article 13(1) of that Implementing Regulation to avoid misinterpretation. |

Therefore, Article 12(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 should be aligned to Article 13(1) of that Implementing Regulation to avoid misinterpretation.

| (5) | Article 16(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 requires Member States to notify to the Commission the unused quantities covered by licences. To improve the quality of the data provided, the Member States should also notify the quantities of products covered by import licences and released into free circulation during the preceding import tariff quota period. |

To improve the quality of the data provided, the Member States should also notify the quantities of products covered by import licences and released into free circulation during the preceding import tariff quota period.

| (6) | Since the tariff quota with order number 09.4264 lacks volume, its table and the reference to it should be deleted from Annexes I and XII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Since the tariff quota with order number 09.4264 lacks volume, its table and the reference to it should be deleted from Annexes I and XII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761.

| (7) | Due to an excessive demand for volumes under the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4268 and 09.4269, the rules on the registration in the Licence Operator Registration and Identification electronic system (LORI) and on the reference quantity should also apply to those tariff quotas. Moreover, the rules on proof of trade shall apply only if the reference quantity requirement is suspended in accordance with Article 9(9) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760. |

Moreover, the rules on proof of trade shall apply only if the reference quantity requirement is suspended in accordance with Article 9(9) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/760.

| (8) | Tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4281 and 09.4282 are open for beef and pigmeat, respectively, from Canada. According to Articles 46 and 66 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761 the quantity is expressed in carcass equivalent. To avoid any confusion, this should be clarified also in the relevant tables in Annexes VIII and X to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761. Moreover for the reasons of clarity, the total quantity available in the past years should be removed. |

| (9) | Tariff quota with order number 09.4226 is open to imports from Iceland of Skyr, whereas tariff quota with order number 09.4227 is open to imports from Iceland of cheeses excluding ‘Skyr’. Following the latest update of the TARIC code for Skyr, this code should be integrated in the tables of those tariff quotas in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761. |

Following the latest update of the TARIC code for Skyr, this code should be integrated in the tables of those tariff quotas in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761.

| (10) | Due to difficulties with the full use of tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4225, 09.4226 and 09.4227, the requirement of a proof of trade in case of those quotas should be lifted. |

Due to difficulties with the full use of tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4225, 09.4226 and 09.4227, the requirement of a proof of trade in case of those quotas should be lifted.

| (11) | For clarity reasons the templates for IMA 1 certificates set out in Annex XIV.5 to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/761, Parts A.1 and A.2, should indicate – in box 16 – the number of the tariff rate quota to which the certificate refers. Moreover, to avoid any confusion with box 4, box 3 of the template of IMA 1 certificate for tariff quotas with order numbers 09.4195 and 09.4182 set out in Annex XIV.5, Part A.2, to that Implementing Regulation should contain the name of the buyer instead of the number and the date of invoice. |

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 as a feed additive for dogs and a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264 as a feed additive for cats (holder of authorisation: NBF Lanes s.r.l.)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such an authorisation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such an authorisation.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, two applications were submitted, one for the authorisation of a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 and one for the authorisation of a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, two applications were submitted, one for the authorisation of a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 and one for the authorisation of a preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | The applications concern the authorisation of the preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 as a feed additive for dogs and the preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264 as a feed additive for cats, to be classified in the category ‘zootechnical additives’ and in the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The applications concern the authorisation of the preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 as a feed additive for dogs and the preparation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264 as a feed additive for cats, to be classified in the category ‘zootechnical additives’ and in the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 27 November 2018 (2)
  , (3) and of 29 June 2022 (4)
  , (5) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparations of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 and of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264 do not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that those preparations should be considered a potential respiratory sensitiser, and that in the absence of data, it could not conclude on the irritancy potential of the additives to skin and eyes or on its dermal sensitisation potential. The Authority also concluded that the preparations of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32203 and of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 32264 have the potential to be efficacious in improving the faecal consistency. However, the Authority expressed some reservations on linear decrease in the moisture content of faeces, which if maintained over time, might cast doubts on the benefits on the long-term use of the additives since it could lead to constipation. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

Accordingly, the use of those preparations should be authorised. It is appropriate to provide for post-market monitoring and for specific labelling of the additives and premixtures containing them as regards possible long-term adverse effects of the use of the additives. In addition, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additives. |
