COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1325/2013

of 9 December 2013

amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | The Union market for jet fuel depends considerably on imports of jet fuel from third countries. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The Union market for jet fuel depends considerably on imports of jet fuel from third countries.

| (2) | Although bilateral aviation agreements between Member States and third countries typically include provisions concerning duty relief for jet fuel, it is necessary to lay down common rules on duty relief for jet fuel in order to ensure clarity and uniformity in this regard, to provide legal certainty for operators and to avoid any distortion of competition resulting from differing practices and rules. |

(2)

Although bilateral aviation agreements between Member States and third countries typically include provisions concerning duty relief for jet fuel, it is necessary to lay down common rules on duty relief for jet fuel in order to ensure clarity and uniformity in this regard, to provide legal certainty for operators and to avoid any distortion of competition resulting from differing practices and rules.

| (3) | A significant part of jet fuel imports to the Union originates in countries that benefit from the scheme of generalised tariff preferences or have preferential access to the Union market, and thus the imports are duty-free. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

A significant part of jet fuel imports to the Union originates in countries that benefit from the scheme of generalised tariff preferences or have preferential access to the Union market, and thus the imports are duty-free.

| (4) | With the application of tariff preferences in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) starting from 1 January 2014, a number of countries which are important exporters of jet fuel will cease to be beneficiaries of that preferential access to the Union market, and certain other exporting countries will not benefit from preferential access for certain product categories, including fuel, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1213/2012 (2). |

| (5) | The imposition of customs duties on jet fuel from those suppliers would likely cause an increase in the price of jet fuel on the Union market as it is not economically viable for refineries in the Union to increase their production of aviation fuel to any significant degree. |

(5)

The imposition of customs duties on jet fuel from those suppliers would likely cause an increase in the price of jet fuel on the Union market as it is not economically viable for refineries in the Union to increase their production of aviation fuel to any significant degree.

| (6) | It is therefore appropriate to suspend the autonomous rate of customs duty for jet fuel. The suspension should cover all products falling within CN code 2710 19 21. Taking into account possible future changes in the market situation of jet fuel, the suspension should be reviewed on the basis of an assessment within five years. |

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1326/2013

of 9 December 2013

amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Until 2012, sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies and similar articles of any material were classified in different Chapters of the Harmonised System nomenclature, depending on the nature or constituent material of the article. Different rates of customs duty were associated with those articles. This led to a complex tariff system of classification. |

(1)

Until 2012, sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies and similar articles of any material were classified in different Chapters of the Harmonised System nomenclature, depending on the nature or constituent material of the article. Different rates of customs duty were associated with those articles. This led to a complex tariff system of classification.

| (2) | In 2012, a single heading 961900 was created in the Harmonised System to cover those sanitary articles. However, the same complex tariff system of classification was kept under the new heading, which was divided into twelve subheadings according to the constituent material, each corresponding to a different conventional rate of duty. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In 2012, a single heading 961900 was created in the Harmonised System to cover those sanitary articles. However, the same complex tariff system of classification was kept under the new heading, which was divided into twelve subheadings according to the constituent material, each corresponding to a different conventional rate of duty.

| (3) | That complex system has been found to lead to unnecessary difficulties and burdens in the application of the Combined Nomenclature. In the interest of legislative simplification and to avoid unnecessary difficulties in applying the Combined Nomenclature, it is therefore appropriate to simplify both the Combined Nomenclature and the tariff structure for those sanitary articles, in order to implement four categories of products (instead of eight), each of them associated with a single autonomous rate of duty. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 11 December 2013

amending Decision 2006/771/EC on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices and repealing Decision 2005/928/EC

(notified under document C(2013) 8776)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/752/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 2006/771/EC (2) harmonises the technical conditions for use of spectrum for a wide variety of short-range devices, including applications such as alarms, local communications equipment, door openers, medical implants and for intelligent transport systems. Short-range devices are typically mass-market and/or portable products which can easily be taken and used across borders; differences in spectrum access conditions therefore prevent their free movement, increase their production costs and create risks of harmful interference with other radio applications and services. |

Short-range devices are typically mass-market and/or portable products which can easily be taken and used across borders; differences in spectrum access conditions therefore prevent their free movement, increase their production costs and create risks of harmful interference with other radio applications and services.

| (2) | Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 establishing a multiannual radio spectrum policy programme (3) (RSPP) requires Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, and where appropriate, to foster the collective use of spectrum as well as shared use of spectrum in order to enhance efficiency and flexibility. |

| (3) | Due to the growing importance of short-range devices for the economy and the rapid changes in technology and societal demands, new applications for short-range devices can emerge. These require regular updates of spectrum harmonisation conditions. |

(3)

Due to the growing importance of short-range devices for the economy and the rapid changes in technology and societal demands, new applications for short-range devices can emerge. These require regular updates of spectrum harmonisation conditions.

| (4) | On 5 July 2006, the Commission issued a permanent mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, to update the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC in response to technological and market developments in the area of short-range devices. |

| (5) | Commission Decisions 2008/432/EC (4), 2009/381/EC (5), 2010/368/EU (6) and Commission Implementing Decision 2011/829/EU (7) already amended the harmonised technical conditions for short-range devices contained in Decision 2006/771/EC by replacing its Annex. |

Commission Decisions 2008/432/EC (4), 2009/381/EC (5), 2010/368/EU (6) and Commission Implementing Decision 2011/829/EU (7) already amended the harmonised technical conditions for short-range devices contained in Decision 2006/771/EC by replacing its Annex.

| (6) | In its March 2013 report (8) submitted in response to the above-mentioned mandate, the CEPT informed the Commission of the results of the requested examination of the ‘type of short-range device’ and the ‘other usage restrictions’ categories in the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC and advised the Commission to amend a number of technical aspects in that Annex. |

In its March 2013 report (8) submitted in response to the above-mentioned mandate, the CEPT informed the Commission of the results of the requested examination of the ‘type of short-range device’ and the ‘other usage restrictions’ categories in the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC and advised the Commission to amend a number of technical aspects in that Annex.

| (7) | The results of the mandate show that short-range devices operating on a non-exclusive and shared basis need, on the one hand, legal certainty regarding the possibility to use spectrum on a shared basis, which can be achieved through predictable technical shared usage conditions of harmonised bands which ensure reliable and efficient use of harmonised bands. These short-range devices also need, on the other hand, sufficient flexibility to allow for a large variety of applications in order to maximise the benefits of wireless innovation in the Union. It is therefore necessary to harmonise defined technical usage conditions to prevent harmful interference and to ensure for as much flexibility as possible while fostering reliable and efficient use of frequency bands by short-range devices. |

It is therefore necessary to harmonise defined technical usage conditions to prevent harmful interference and to ensure for as much flexibility as possible while fostering reliable and efficient use of frequency bands by short-range devices.

| (8) | The suppression of the notion of ‘type’ of short-range devices and the harmonisation of short-range devices categories achieves such purpose. Two kinds of categories would each establish predictable sharing environments for a whole group of short-range devices. The short-range devices in these categories are grouped either on the basis of similar technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios that determine the expected deployment density. |

The suppression of the notion of ‘type’ of short-range devices and the harmonisation of short-range devices categories achieves such purpose. Two kinds of categories would each establish predictable sharing environments for a whole group of short-range devices. The short-range devices in these categories are grouped either on the basis of similar technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios that determine the expected deployment density.

| (9) | The scope of the categories as defined in the technical annex provides users with predictability in regard to other short-range devices that are allowed to use the same frequency band on a non-exclusive and shared basis. Pursuant to Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (9) (the R&TTE Directive) within such categories manufacturers should ensure that short-range devices effectively avoid harmful interference to other short-range devices. |

| (10) | In the specific frequency bands covered by this Decision, the combination of the harmonised short-range devices category and the technical usage conditions (frequency band, transmit power limit/field strength limit/power density limit, additional parameters and other usage restrictions) establishes a harmonised sharing environment in such a way as to allow short-range devices to share the use of spectrum with each other on a non-exclusive basis, regardless of the purpose of such use. |

| (11) | In order to safeguard the legal certainty and the predictability of such harmonised sharing environments, the use of harmonised bands either by short-range devices which are not part of a harmonised category or under less restrictive technical parameters would only be allowed to the extent that the relevant sharing environment is not compromised. |

| (12) | On 6 July 2011, the Commission issued a further mandate to the CEPT, pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, to undertake the necessary technical studies in support of a possible review of Commission Decision 2005/928/EC of 20 December 2005 on the harmonisation of the 169,4-169,8125 MHz frequency band in the Community (10), to ensure the efficient use of the harmonised frequency range in accordance with Article 5 of that Decision. |

| (13) | In its June 2012 report (11) submitted in response to the above mentioned second mandate, the CEPT advised the Commission to incorporate existing and additional harmonisation measures for low power/short-range devices in the 169 MHz band in the forthcoming amendment of the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC to provide better visibility and transparency of the harmonised frequency range (169,4-169,8125 MHz). |

| (14) | Based on results of the CEPT’s work it is possible to streamline the regulatory conditions for short-range devices. The harmonisation of spectrum access conditions would achieve the objective set by the RSPP to foster the collective use of spectrum in the internal market for categories of short-range devices. |

(notified under document C(2013) 8780)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/753/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on safety on the Community’s railways and amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (Railway Safety Directive) (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The Commission gave the European Railway Agency (‘the Agency’) a mandate under Directive 2004/49/EC to draw up draft common safety targets (‘CSTs’) and the related draft common safety methods for the period from 2011 to 2015. Following the annual assessment of 2013 the Agency made its recommendation to the Commission for amending the second set of draft CSTs as set out in Commission Decision 2012/226/EU of 23 April 2012 on the second set of common safety targets as regards the rail system (2). This Decision is based on the Agency’s recommendation. |

This Decision is based on the Agency’s recommendation.

| (2) | Due to the lack of consistent national data, the National Reference Values (‘NRVs’) for Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia has been originally established for certain categories of individual risks either using not fully consistent data from 2004-2006 or on the basis of NRVs of other Member States. At present it is possible to recalculate the NRVs for these categories in a consistent way and therefore the original NRVs in the enclosed tables should be replaced. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 11 December 2013

on measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), as regards South Africa

(notified under document C(2013) 8781)

(2013/754/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 the third sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), hereinafter ‘the specified organism’, is a harmful organism listed in point (c)11 of Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. It is not known to occur in the Union. It is primarily hosted by plants of Citrus L. and is particularly harmful for those plants. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), hereinafter ‘the specified organism’, is a harmful organism listed in point (c)11 of Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. It is not known to occur in the Union. It is primarily hosted by plants of Citrus L. and is particularly harmful for those plants.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 5(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC in conjunction with point 16.4 of Section I of Part A of Annex IV to that Directive, Member States are to ban the introduction into their territory of fruits of Citrus L. and their hybrids, hereinafter ‘the specified fruits’, originating in third countries, unless the special requirements set out in that point are met. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC in conjunction with point 16.4 of Section I of Part A of Annex IV to that Directive, Member States are to ban the introduction into their territory of fruits of Citrus L. and their hybrids, hereinafter ‘the specified fruits’, originating in third countries, unless the special requirements set out in that point are met.

| (3) | Despite the fact that the Commission had already expressed to South Africa concerns over the phytosanitary status of the specified fruits and South Africa had provided assurances that the necessary measures would be taken, 36 interceptions of consignments of the specified fruits infested with the specified organism have been notified by Member States between July and November 2013 during import inspections of such fruits originating in South Africa. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Despite the fact that the Commission had already expressed to South Africa concerns over the phytosanitary status of the specified fruits and South Africa had provided assurances that the necessary measures would be taken, 36 interceptions of consignments of the specified fruits infested with the specified organism have been notified by Member States between July and November 2013 during import inspections of such fruits originating in South Africa.

| (4) | In light of those interceptions, it is concluded that the current phytosanitary safeguards of South Africa are insufficient to prevent the introduction of the specified organism into the Union. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In light of those interceptions, it is concluded that the current phytosanitary safeguards of South Africa are insufficient to prevent the introduction of the specified organism into the Union.

| (5) | Those interceptions did not concern areas recognised by South Africa as being free from the specified organism. While an assessment of the phytosanitary status of those areas is still needed to recognise them as being free of the specified organism by amending Commission Decision 2006/473/EC (2), introduction of the specified fruits from those areas should continue to be allowed. In view of the phytosanitary risk involved, introduction should not be allowed from any other areas of South Africa. |

Those interceptions did not concern areas recognised by South Africa as being free from the specified organism. While an assessment of the phytosanitary status of those areas is still needed to recognise them as being free of the specified organism by amending Commission Decision 2006/473/EC (2), introduction of the specified fruits from those areas should continue to be allowed. In view of the phytosanitary risk involved, introduction should not be allowed from any other areas of South Africa.

| (6) | Consequently, the introduction into the Union of the specified fruits originating in areas of South Africa, other than those recognised as being free from the specified organism by Decision 2006/473/EC, should only be allowed from areas recognised by South Africa as being free from that organism. The official phytosanitary certificate accompanying those specified fruits should indicate their origin in one of those areas. |

The official phytosanitary certificate accompanying those specified fruits should indicate their origin in one of those areas.

| (7) | The measures set out in this Decision should only apply to the specified fruits produced during the 2012/13 growing season. |

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

As regards fruits of Citrus L. originating in South Africa and produced during the 2012/13 growing season, points 16.4(c) and (d) of Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC shall only apply to fruits originating in the following areas:
