COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/2328

of 16 August 2022

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying exotic underlyings and the instruments bearing residual risks for the purposes of the calculation of own funds requirements for residual risks

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular Article 325u(5), fourth subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The specification of instruments referencing an exotic underlying provided in Article 325u(2), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is sufficiently clear to allow institutions to identify what an exotic underlying is for the purposes of the calculation of the own funds requirements for residual risks set out in Article 325u. Therefore, no further specification of the meaning of an exotic underlying is necessary. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The specification of instruments referencing an exotic underlying provided in Article 325u(2), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is sufficiently clear to allow institutions to identify what an exotic underlying is for the purposes of the calculation of the own funds requirements for residual risks set out in Article 325u. Therefore, no further specification of the meaning of an exotic underlying is necessary.

| (2) | In particular, longevity risk, weather, natural disasters and future realised volatility meet the specification of an exotic underlying, in line with the indication provided in the relevant international framework defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In particular, longevity risk, weather, natural disasters and future realised volatility meet the specification of an exotic underlying, in line with the indication provided in the relevant international framework defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).

| (3) | The definition of instruments bearing residual risks provided for in Article 325u(2), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, is not sufficiently clear to allow institutions to identify certain instruments bearing residual risks. Therefore, a list of instruments bearing residual risks, albeit non-exhaustive, should be specified to ensure a certain degree of harmonisation and consistency in the treatment of instruments bearing those risks across the Union. The elements of such a list should be selected considering the relevant international BCBS framework. For other instruments with a presumption to bear residual risks, institutions should assess whether those instruments meet the definition set out in Article 325u(2), point (b), of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The definition of instruments bearing residual risks provided for in Article 325u(2), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, is not sufficiently clear to allow institutions to identify certain instruments bearing residual risks. Therefore, a list of instruments bearing residual risks, albeit non-exhaustive, should be specified to ensure a certain degree of harmonisation and consistency in the treatment of instruments bearing those risks across the Union. The elements of such a list should be selected considering the relevant international BCBS framework. For other instruments with a presumption to bear residual risks, institutions should assess whether those instruments meet the definition set out in Article 325u(2), point (b), of that Regulation.

| (4) | Given the non-standard nature of many of the instruments bearing residual risk, a non-exhaustive list of risks which should not in themselves trigger the inclusion of an instrument under the definition of instruments bearing residual risks should also be specified in order to provide greater legal certainty and transparency. However, institutions should assess whether an instrument exposed to those risks could still be considered as an instrument exposed to residual risk if the instrument meets one of the other conditions referred to in Article 325u(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. |

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by the European Banking Authority.

5.1.   Instructions for use

Read attached instructions before use.

Comply with the instructions for use.

The product is authorised to be used only in tropical areas where there is a threat of vector-borne diseases spread by the claimed mosquito species.

Keep out of the reach of children and pets when not in use.

Fix the top of the bednet over the bed, and the lower rim is carefully wrapped under the mattress, so that no space is left for mosquitoes to enter.

Apply first non-chemical methods such as regular window screen insect nets if possible in order to minimise the use of biocides. Use of the insecticide treated bednet is recommended when other methods of mosquito control are not sufficient, not feasible (e.g. when travelling) or in areas with high risk of vector-borne diseases.

In the case of continuous infestation; to minimise the risk of resistance, alternative products containing active substances with different mode of action should be used.

Inform the authorisation holder if the treatment is ineffective.

Do not treat the bednet with an insecticide or repellent.

Replace the bednet if damaged (e.g. holes).

Domestic animals such as a cat should not sleep in proximity to the bednet.

The bednet can only be used indoors.

DO NOT WASH OR DRY CLEAN PRODUCT.

Do not iron the product.

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Keep cats away from the product. Due to their particular sensitivity to permethrin, the product can cause severe adverse reactions in cats.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Wash hands with soap and water after setting up the net and taking the net down.

This product MUST NOT be washed, due to risk to the environment.

Use the bednet as indicated in the instructions for use. Do not use for other purposes.

Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) enables the Council to adopt restrictive measures against natural or legal persons and groups, or non-State entities, or to adopt measures providing for the interruption or reduction, in part or completely, of economic and financial relations with one or more third countries, on the basis of a decision pursuant to Article 29 TEU. Member States should have effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties in place for violations of Council Regulations on Union restrictive measures.

| (3) | This decision covers only Union restrictive measures that the Union has adopted on the basis of Article 29 TEU or Article 215 TFEU, such as measures concerning the freezing of funds and economic resources, the prohibition on making funds and economic resources available and the prohibition on entry into the territory of a Member State of the Union, as well as sectoral economic measures and arms embargoes. |

The Commission ensures coordination among Member States and Union agencies in the enforcement of the Union restrictive measures adopted in the context of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and has assessed the interplay between restrictive measures and criminal law measures.

| (6) | Article 83(1) TFEU currently does not provide for the establishment of minimum rules concerning the definition of and penalties for the violation of Union restrictive measures, since their violation as such is not yet covered by the areas of crime listed in that Article. The areas of crime currently listed in Article 83(1), second subparagraph, are terrorism, trafficking in human beings, sexual exploitation of women and children, illicit drug trafficking, illicit arms trafficking, money laundering, corruption, counterfeiting of means of payment, computer crime and organised crime. The violation of Union restrictive measures can however in some cases be related to criminal offences covered by some of the listed areas of crime, such as terrorism and money laundering. |

The developments in crime witnessed following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine constitute exceptional circumstances.

| (8) | The criteria referred to in Article 83(1) first subparagraph TFEU relating to the cross-border dimension of an area of crime, namely the nature, or impact of criminal offences and the special need to combat them on a common basis are inter-linked and cannot be assessed in isolation. |

The criteria referred to in Article 83(1) first subparagraph TFEU relating to the cross-border dimension of an area of crime, namely the nature, or impact of criminal offences and the special need to combat them on a common basis are inter-linked and cannot be assessed in isolation.

| (9) | The violation of Union restrictive measures should be identified as an area of crime in order to ensure the effective implementation of the Union’s policy on restrictive measures. The violation of Union restrictive measures is already categorised as a criminal offence by a majority of the Member States. Some Member States which categorise the violation of restrictive measures as a criminal offence, have broad definitions in place, such as ‘breach of UN and EU sanctions’ or ‘breach of EU regulations’, whereas others have more detailed provisions, for instance providing a list of prohibited conduct. The criteria according to which the conduct falls within the scope of criminal law vary among Member States, but they are usually related to their gravity (serious nature), or determined in qualitative (intent, serious negligence) or quantitative (damage) terms. |

| (10) | The violation of Union restrictive measures is a particularly serious area of crime, which, in terms of gravity, is of a similar degree of seriousness to the areas of crime listed in Article 83(1) TFEU, since it can perpetuate threats to international peace and security, undermine the consolidation of and support for democracy, the rule of law and human rights and result in significant economic, social, societal and environmental damage. Because of such violations, individuals and entities whose assets are frozen or whose activities are restricted continue to be able to access their assets and support regimes that are targeted by Union restrictive measures or continue to access State funds that were misappropriated. Similarly, the money generated by the exploitation of goods and natural resources traded in violation of Union restrictive measures can allow the regimes targeted by those restrictive measures to purchase arms and weapons, with which they commit their crimes. Furthermore, the violation of Union restrictive measures relating to trade could contribute to the illegal exploitation of natural resources in the jurisdiction targeted by those restrictive measures. |

Their violation therefore equates to conduct on a cross-border scale requiring a common cross-border response at Union level. |

Harmonisation of penalties for the violation of Union restrictive measures would increase the effectiveness, proportionality and dissuasiveness of such penalties. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/2333

of 23 November 2022

concerning certain emergency measures relating to sheep pox and goat pox in Spain and repealing Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913

(notified under document C(2022) 8629)

(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Article 259(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Sheep pox and goat pox is an infectious viral disease affecting caprine and ovine animals and can have a severe impact on the concerned animal population and the profitability of farming causing disturbance to movements of consignments of those animals and products thereof within the Union and exports to third countries. In the event of an outbreak of that disease in caprine and ovine animals, there is a serious risk that it may spread to other establishments keeping those animals. |

(1)

Sheep pox and goat pox is an infectious viral disease affecting caprine and ovine animals and can have a severe impact on the concerned animal population and the profitability of farming causing disturbance to movements of consignments of those animals and products thereof within the Union and exports to third countries. In the event of an outbreak of that disease in caprine and ovine animals, there is a serious risk that it may spread to other establishments keeping those animals.

| (2) | Sheep pox and goat pox is defined as a category A disease in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882 (2). In addition, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 (3) supplements the rules for the control of the listed diseases referred to in Article 9(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and defined as category A, B and C diseases in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882. In particular, Articles 21 and 22 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 provide for the establishment of a restricted zone in the event of an outbreak of a category A disease, including sheep pox and goat pox, and for certain disease control measures to be applied therein. In addition, Article 21(1) of that Delegated Regulation provides that the restricted zone is to comprise a protection zone and a surveillance zone, and if necessary further restricted zones around or adjacent to the protection and surveillance zones. |

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913 (4) was adopted within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and it lays down emergency measures for Spain in relation to outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox.

| (4) | More particularly, Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913 provides that the protection and surveillance zones to be established by the Member State following outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, are to comprise at least the areas listed in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. |

| (5) | Since the date of adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913, Spain notified the Commission of seven further outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in establishments where ovine and/or caprine animals were kept, located in the regions of Andalusia and Castilla – La Mancha. As a result the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones for Spain in the Annex to this Decision were amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2004 (5). |

Since the date of adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913, Spain notified the Commission of seven further outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in establishments where ovine and/or caprine animals were kept, located in the regions of Andalusia and Castilla – La Mancha. As a result the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones for Spain in the Annex to this Decision were amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2004 (5).

| (6) | Since the date of adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2004, Spain notified the Commission of three additional outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox, in establishments where ovine and/or caprine animals were kept, located in the region of Andalusia. All these outbreaks are located within the restricted zones already established in the province of Granada, in line with Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913, except for one which is located in the province of Almeria. This outbreak is the first ever outbreak in the province of Almeria and is located outside the already existing protection and surveillance zones. |

Spain has been providing the Commission with regular updates on the epidemiological situation of sheep pox and goat pox. These updates include the disease control measures taken by Spain that the Commission reviews, to assess their effectiveness, taking into account the evolution of the disease.

| (10) | In addition, Spain has informed the Commission and the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed that in the absence of risk mitigation measures specially aimed at sheep pox and goat pox in Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, and awaiting an amendment to that Annex, it will apply the risk mitigation measures set out in that Annex for lumpy skin disease, to meat and milk from caprine and ovine animas originating from the protection and surveillance zones established in accordance with that Delegated Regulation. Spain has stated it needs to take these risk mitigating measures which take into account the similarity between sheep pox and goat pox virus and lumpy skin disease virus, both belonging to the family Poxviridae and genus Capripoxvirus. |

Spain has stated it needs to take these risk mitigating measures which take into account the similarity between sheep pox and goat pox virus and lumpy skin disease virus, both belonging to the family Poxviridae and genus Capripoxvirus.

| (11) | Therefore, the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones for Spain in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913, should be further adjusted, spatially and/or temporally, and a further restricted zone should be established, in order to prevent further spread of the disease in Spain and the rest of the Union. This adjustment should take into account the differential evolution of the disease in the regions of Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha. |

This adjustment should take into account the differential evolution of the disease in the regions of Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha.

| (12) | Furthermore, the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones, should be grouped and a common date, until which these are applicable, should be established, for each cluster, taking into account the date when the last preliminary cleaning and disinfection has been completed so that all outbreaks within the same area have been subjected to preliminary cleaning and disinfection, both in Andalusia and Castilla – La Mancha. |

| (13) | In addition to the protection and surveillance zones a further restricted zone, should be established, in line with article 21(1) point (c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, in the region of Andalusia, where the evolution of the disease is less favourable and where Spain should apply certain measures, regarding the movements of sheep and goats outside this zone, with a view to prevent spread of the disease to the rest of its territory. |

(13)

In addition to the protection and surveillance zones a further restricted zone, should be established, in line with article 21(1) point (c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, in the region of Andalusia, where the evolution of the disease is less favourable and where Spain should apply certain measures, regarding the movements of sheep and goats outside this zone, with a view to prevent spread of the disease to the rest of its territory.

| (14) | Taking into account the evolution of the epidemiological situation as regards sheep pox and goat pox in Spain, and in order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to movements of consignments of ovine and caprine animals within the Union, and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to continue to rapidly identify at Union level the restricted zones for sheep pox and goat pox. These restricted zones should comprise protection and surveillance zones, as well as a further restricted zone in that Member State. Accordingly, the areas identified as protection zones, surveillance zones, and further restricted zone, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, in Spain, should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed. In addition, Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1913 should be repealed and replaced by this Decision. |
