COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/870

of 5 June 2015

amending, as regards the trade in species of wild fauna and flora, Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(2), (3) and (4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to implement certain Resolutions adopted at the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) (3 – 14 March 2013), hereinafter ‘the Convention’, certain provisions should be amended and further provisions should be added to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In order to implement certain Resolutions adopted at the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) (3 – 14 March 2013), hereinafter ‘the Convention’, certain provisions should be amended and further provisions should be added to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (2).

| (2) | In particular, in line with CITES Resolution Conf. 16.8, specific provisions designed to simplify the non-commercial cross-border movement of musical instruments should be inserted. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In particular, in line with CITES Resolution Conf. 16.8, specific provisions designed to simplify the non-commercial cross-border movement of musical instruments should be inserted.

| (3) | Experience gained in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006, in conjunction with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 792/2012 (3), has shown that some provisions therein should be amended in order to ensure that the Regulation is implemented in a harmonised and efficient manner within the Union. This is the case in particular in relation to the first introduction into the Union of hunting trophies of specimens of some species or populations listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97, for which there are concerns as to the sustainability of trade in hunting trophies or for which there are indications of significant illegal trade. In such cases, more stringent control of imports into the Union is necessary and the derogation set out in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 for personal and household effects should therefore not apply. Experience in implementing Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 has also shown that it was necessary to clarify that import permits should not be issued by Member States in cases where, despite a request to this end, they do not obtain satisfactory information from the exporting or re-exporting country as to the legality of the specimens to be imported into the EU. |

| (4) | At the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, the standard references for nomenclature were updated. These references are used to indicate scientific names of species in permits and certificates. Those changes should be reflected in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 865/2006. |

In order to remedy this omission, the Commission repeals Regulation (EU) 2015/56 and replaces it by the present Regulation which was submitted in draft for scrutiny to the European Parliament and the Council.

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2015/873

of 18 May 2015

on the position to be adopted, on behalf of the European Union, at the 48th session of the Port State Control Committee of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 100(2) and Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Maritime safety, pollution prevention and on-board living and working conditions may be effectively enhanced through a drastic reduction of substandard ships in Union waters, by strictly applying relevant Conventions, international codes and resolutions. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Maritime safety, pollution prevention and on-board living and working conditions may be effectively enhanced through a drastic reduction of substandard ships in Union waters, by strictly applying relevant Conventions, international codes and resolutions.

| (2) | While the primary responsibility for monitoring the compliance of ships with the international standards for safety, pollution prevention and on-board living and working conditions lies with the flag State, responsibility for maintenance of the condition of the ship and its equipment after survey to comply with the requirements of Conventions applicable to the ship lies with the ship company. There has, however, been a serious failure on the part of a number of flag States to implement and enforce those international standards. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

While the primary responsibility for monitoring the compliance of ships with the international standards for safety, pollution prevention and on-board living and working conditions lies with the flag State, responsibility for maintenance of the condition of the ship and its equipment after survey to comply with the requirements of Conventions applicable to the ship lies with the ship company. There has, however, been a serious failure on the part of a number of flag States to implement and enforce those international standards.

| (3) | Therefore, as a second line of defence against substandard shipping, the monitoring of compliance with the international standards for safety, pollution prevention and on-board living and working conditions should also be ensured by port States, while recognising that port State control inspection is not a survey and the relevant inspection forms are not seaworthiness certificates. A harmonised approach to the effective enforcement of those international standards by coastal Member States of the Union in respect of ships sailing in the waters under their jurisdiction and using their ports should avoid distortions of competition. |

A harmonised approach to the effective enforcement of those international standards by coastal Member States of the Union in respect of ships sailing in the waters under their jurisdiction and using their ports should avoid distortions of competition.

| (4) | Directive 2009/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) sets out the Union regime on port State control, reformulating and reinforcing the previous Union legislation in this field in force since 1995. The Union regime is based on the pre-existing structure of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (the ‘Paris MOU’), signed in Paris on 26 January 1982. |

The Union regime is based on the pre-existing structure of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (the ‘Paris MOU’), signed in Paris on 26 January 1982.

| (5) | As regards Union Member States, Directive 2009/16/EC effectively brings certain procedures, tools and work of the Paris MOU within the scope of Union law. By virtue of Directive 2009/16/EC, certain decisions taken by the appropriate competent body of the Paris MOU become binding on Member States of the Union. |

By virtue of Directive 2009/16/EC, certain decisions taken by the appropriate competent body of the Paris MOU become binding on Member States of the Union.

| (6) | The Port State Control Committee (PSCC) of the Paris MOU will hold its 48th session from 18 to 22 May 2015. During that session, the PSCC is expected to decide on certain issues which have direct legal effect on Directive 2009/16/EC. |

The Port State Control Committee (PSCC) of the Paris MOU will hold its 48th session from 18 to 22 May 2015. During that session, the PSCC is expected to decide on certain issues which have direct legal effect on Directive 2009/16/EC.

| (7) | The PSCC is expected to consider and, subsequently, adopt the updated 2014 inspection statistics, including the new white, grey and black flag performance lists and the recognised organisations performance list which will be used for targeting purposes as from 1 July 2015. As the Paris MOU inspection statistics are essential for the implementation of the inspection regime established by Directive 2009/16/EC, the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should support their adoption. |

As the Paris MOU inspection statistics are essential for the implementation of the inspection regime established by Directive 2009/16/EC, the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should support their adoption.

| (8) | The PSCC is also expected to consider and, subsequently, adopt the regional commitment and the fair share calculation in accordance with Annex 11 to the Paris MOU. Given the importance of the inspection commitment being shared in an equitable manner among Member States and that each Member State contributes fairly to the achievement of the Union objective as set out in Article 5 of Directive 2009/16/EC, the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should support those actions of the PSCC. |

| (9) | The PSCC is also expected to confirm the average detention and deficiency ratios. Bearing in mind Commission Regulation (EU) No 802/2010 (2) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1205/2012 (3), the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should support their adoption. |

| (10) | Furthermore, the PSCC is expected to discuss the follow-up detention (FUD) forms and the procedures in the event of failure to recycle a vessel as agreed and to consider an amendment of the procedures and guidelines of the Paris MOU. Bearing in mind the importance of an effective, proportionate and dissuasive detention, access refusal and follow-up to inspection system under Articles 16, 19 and 21 of Directive 2009/16/EC, the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should oppose the proposal in point 2.6 of the amended guideline set out in Annex II to document PSCC48/4.3.8, which concerns a definitive and permanent ban on vessels, as opposed to a temporary ban, as that proposal is not in line with Directive 2009/16/EC. |

Furthermore, the PSCC is expected to discuss the follow-up detention (FUD) forms and the procedures in the event of failure to recycle a vessel as agreed and to consider an amendment of the procedures and guidelines of the Paris MOU. Bearing in mind the importance of an effective, proportionate and dissuasive detention, access refusal and follow-up to inspection system under Articles 16, 19 and 21 of Directive 2009/16/EC, the Member States, on behalf of the Union, should oppose the proposal in point 2.6 of the amended guideline set out in Annex II to document PSCC48/4.3.8, which concerns a definitive and permanent ban on vessels, as opposed to a temporary ban, as that proposal is not in line with Directive 2009/16/EC.
