COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/654

of 26 February 2016

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | As a result of the United States' failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

As a result of the United States' failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission is to adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the European Union at that time.

| (2) | The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the fiscal year 2015 (1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015) as well as the additional distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the fiscal years 2011 and 2014. On the basis of the data published by the United States' Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 887 696. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the fiscal year 2015 (1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015) as well as the additional distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the fiscal years 2011 and 2014. On the basis of the data published by the United States' Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Union is calculated at USD 887 696.

| (3) | The level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased. However, the level of suspension cannot be adjusted to the level of nullification or impairment by adding or removing products from the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005. As a consequence, in accordance with Article 3(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005, the Commission should keep the list of products in Annex I to that Regulation unchanged and amend the rate of the additional duty in order to adjust the level of suspension to the level of nullification or impairment. The four products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should therefore be maintained on the list and the rate of additional import duty should be amended and set at 0,45 %. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased. However, the level of suspension cannot be adjusted to the level of nullification or impairment by adding or removing products from the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005.

The four products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should therefore be maintained on the list and the rate of additional import duty should be amended and set at 0,45 %.

| (4) | The effect of a 0,45 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 887 696. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The effect of a 0,45 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 887 696.

| (5) | To make sure that there are no delays in the application of the amended rate of additional import duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication. |

Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

DECISION (EU) 2016/661 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 15 April 2016

on the total amount of annual supervisory fees for 2016 (ECB/2016/7)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1163/2014 of the European Central Bank of 22 October 2014 on supervisory fees (ECB/2014/41) (2), and in particular Articles 3(1) and 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The total amount of the annual supervisory fees to be levied under Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1163/2014 (ECB/2014/41) should cover, but not exceed, the expenditure incurred by the European Central Bank (ECB) in relation to its supervisory tasks in the relevant fee period. This expenditure primarily consists of costs directly related to the ECB's supervisory tasks, such as direct supervision of significant entities, oversight of the supervision of less significant entities and performance of horizontal tasks and specialised services. It also includes costs indirectly related to the ECB's supervisory tasks, such as services provided by the ECB's support business areas, including premises, human resources management and information technology services. |

This expenditure primarily consists of costs directly related to the ECB's supervisory tasks, such as direct supervision of significant entities, oversight of the supervision of less significant entities and performance of horizontal tasks and specialised services. It also includes costs indirectly related to the ECB's supervisory tasks, such as services provided by the ECB's support business areas, including premises, human resources management and information technology services.

| (2) | To calculate the annual supervisory fees payable in respect of significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups, and less significant supervised entities and less significant supervised groups, the total costs should be split on the basis of the expenditure allocated to the relevant functions that perform the direct supervision of significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups and the indirect supervision of less significant supervised entities and less significant supervised groups. |

| (3) | The total amount of the annual supervisory fees for 2016 should be calculated as the sum of: (a) the estimated annual costs of supervisory tasks for 2016, based on the approved ECB budget for 2016, taking into account any developments in the estimated annual costs expected to be incurred by the ECB that were known at the time this Decision was adopted; and (b) the surplus or deficit from 2015. |

| (4) | The surplus or deficit should be determined by deducting the actual annual costs of the supervisory tasks incurred for 2015, as reflected in the ECB's Annual Accounts for 2015 (3), from the estimated annual costs levied for 2015 set out in Annex I to Decision (EU) 2015/727 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2015/17) (4). |

| (5) | In accordance with Article 5(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1163/2014 (ECB/2014/41), fee amounts related to previous fee periods that were not collectible, interest payments received and certain other amounts received or refunded in accordance with Article 7(3) of that Regulation, if any, should also be taken into account in the estimated annual costs of supervisory tasks for 2016, |
