on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the September 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 20 September 2011

on imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species

(notified under document C(2011) 6426)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2011/630/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 8(1), the first subparagraph of Article 10(2), and Article 11(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 88/407/EEC lays down the animal health conditions applicable to imports from third countries into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species. It provides that only semen that comes from a third country included on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive and accompanied by an animal health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, is to be imported into the Union. The animal health certificate is to certify that semen comes from semen collection and storage centres offering guarantees provided for in Article 9(1) of that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 88/407/EEC lays down the animal health conditions applicable to imports from third countries into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species. It provides that only semen that comes from a third country included on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive and accompanied by an animal health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, is to be imported into the Union. The animal health certificate is to certify that semen comes from semen collection and storage centres offering guarantees provided for in Article 9(1) of that Directive.

| (2) | Commission Decision 2004/639/EC of 6 September 2004 laying down the importation conditions of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (2) currently sets out the list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species in Annex I thereto. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Commission Decision 2004/639/EC of 6 September 2004 laying down the importation conditions of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (2) currently sets out the list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species in Annex I thereto.

| (3) | Under Article 8(2) of Directive 88/407/EEC, a Member State may authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species only from those third countries which appear on a list to be drawn up in accordance with that Directive. In deciding whether a third country may appear on such a list, particular account is to be taken of various conditions, such as the state of health of the livestock. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Under Article 8(2) of Directive 88/407/EEC, a Member State may authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species only from those third countries which appear on a list to be drawn up in accordance with that Directive. In deciding whether a third country may appear on such a list, particular account is to be taken of various conditions, such as the state of health of the livestock.

| (4) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (3) repealed and replaced Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (4). Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 sets out a list of third countries authorised for the introduction of ungulates into the Union in Annex I thereto. The conditions for the introduction of ungulates, laid down in that Regulation, are similar to the conditions for imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species laid down in Directive 88/407/EEC. |
| --- | --- |

Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (3) repealed and replaced Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (4). Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 sets out a list of third countries authorised for the introduction of ungulates into the Union in Annex I thereto. The conditions for the introduction of ungulates, laid down in that Regulation, are similar to the conditions for imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species laid down in Directive 88/407/EEC.

| (5) | There is no scientific evidence suggesting that, with regard to major exotic contagious diseases, the risks arising from the health status of the donor bovine male could be mitigated by treatment of the semen. Accordingly, the list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen should be based on the animal health status of the third countries from which imports of live domestic animals of the bovine species are authorised. The list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 includes Chile, Iceland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Therefore, those third countries should also be included in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2004/639/EC. |

| (6) | The model animal health certificate in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC includes the animal health conditions for imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species into the Union. Currently, the conditions for enzootic bovine leukosis and epizootic haemorrhagic disease in that certificate are not entirely consistent with those set out respectively in Chapter I(1)(c) of Annex B to Directive 88/407/EEC and in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). As a result, that model animal health certificate should be amended to take account of that provision of that Directive and that Manual. |

As a result, that model animal health certificate should be amended to take account of that provision of that Directive and that Manual.

| (7) | The model animal health certificate in Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC applies to imports and transits of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species dispatched from a semen storage centre or a semen collection centre either collected and processed in accordance with the conditions of Directive 88/407/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 2003/43/EC (5), or collected processed and stored before 31 December 2004 in conformity with the provisions of Directive 88/407/EEC applying until 1 July 2003, and imported after 31 December 2004 in accordance with Article 2(2) of Directive 2003/43/EC. |

| (8) | In order to ensure full traceability of the semen, the model animal health certificate in Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC should be supplemented by additional certification requirements and only used for trade in semen of domestic animals of the bovine species collected in the semen collection centres and dispatched from a semen storage centre, whether or not the latter constitute part of a semen collection centre approved under a different approval number. As a result, the model animal health certificate in Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC should be adapted accordingly by this Decision. |

As a result, the model animal health certificate in Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC should be adapted accordingly by this Decision.

| (9) | It is also necessary to adapt by this Decision the dates in the titles of model health certificates in Part 2 and Part 3 of Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC related to the stocks of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species collected, processed and stored before 31 December 2004 to reflect the provisions of Article 2(1) of Directive 2003/43/EC. |

| (10) | There are bilateral agreements concluded between the Union and certain third countries containing specific conditions for the imports into the Union of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species. Therefore, where the bilateral agreements contain specific conditions and model animal health certificates for imports, those conditions and models should apply instead of the conditions and models set out in this Decision. |

ANNEX

PART 1

Questionnaire on the implementation of Directive 2008/1/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control

General notes:

This fifth questionnaire under Directive 2008/1/EC covers the years 2012 and 2013. In view of the experience gained in the implementation of Directive 2008/1/EC and the information already obtained through the previous questionnaires, this questionnaire focuses on the changes and progress made by Member States in the implementation of Directive 2008/1/EC. As Directive 2008/1/EC will be repealed from 7 January 2014 and replaced by Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions, the reporting period is limited to 2 years instead of 3 years. In order to ensure continuity and enable direct comparisons to be made with previous responses, this questionnaire maintains many aspects contained in Decision 2010/728/EU. In those cases where questions are similar to those of the previous questionnaires and the situation is unchanged, reference can simply be made to previous answers. Where there have been new developments, those developments should be described in a new answer. When answering the questionnaire on specific questions regarding general binding rules, or official guidelines issued by administrative bodies, please provide outline information on the type of rules or guidelines and web links or other means of accessing them, as appropriate.

1.   General description

Have Member States experienced any difficulties in implementing Directive 2008/1/EC due to the limited availability or capacity of staff resources? If so, describe those difficulties as well as any plans to address them in view of the transition to Directive 2010/75/EU.

2.   Numbers of installations and permits (Article 2(3) and 2(4) and Article 4)

Explanatory notes to the template:

The collection of data in this template will be based on the ‘number of installations’ and the ‘number of substantial changes’ using the definitions of ‘installation’ in Article 2(3) and ‘substantial change’ in Article 2(11) of Directive 2008/1/EC.

The ‘installation type’ refers to the main activity operated in the installation. Installations should only be reported under one single activity, also where several IPPC activities are being operated within the installation.

Further guidance and explanation in relation to the data to be provided in the Table are given in the notes below. Member States are requested to complete the Table as far as possible.

A.   ‘NUMBER OF INSTALLATIONS’ at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2013).

| 1. | Number of installations: total number of IPPC installations (both existing and new) operating in the Member States at the end of the reporting period regardless of the status of their permits. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Number of installations covered by a permit which is in full compliance with Directive 2008/1/EC: total number of IPPC installations covered by one or more permits granted in accordance with Directive 2008/1/EC (including pre-IPPC permits which have been reconsidered/updated) regardless of when the permit(s) had been issued or whether the permit has been reconsidered, updated, or amended/renewed due to any reason. |
| --- | --- |

2.

For counting the number of installations to be reported, Member States shall consider the status of the permit(s) covering each installation at the end of the reporting period. Please note that the numbers refer to installations, not permits (since one installation may be covered by several permits and vice versa).

| Consistency rule | : | the total number of IPPC installations (1) minus the total number of installations covered by a permit which is in full compliance with Directive 2008/1/EC (2) shall be equal to the number of installations which are not covered by a fully compliant IPPC permit for any reason (procedure not concluded, not full coverage of all activities, etc.). Where this figure is different from zero, this indicates a potential breach of Directive 2008/1/EC. |
| --- | --- | --- |

ANNEX

Questionnaire on the implementation of Directive 2000/76/EC on the incineration of waste

General notes:

This third questionnaire under Directive 2000/76/EC covers the years 2012 and 2013. In view of the experience gained in the implementation of the Directive and the information already obtained through the previous questionnaires, this questionnaire focuses on the changes and progress made by Member States in the actual implementation of the Directive. As Directive 2000/76/EC will be repealed from 7 January 2014 and will be replaced by Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (IED), the reporting period is limited to 2 years instead of 3 years.

In order to ensure continuity and enable direct comparisons to be made to previous responses, this questionnaire does not change the general approach contained in Decision 2010/731/EU. In those cases where questions are similar to those of the previous questionnaire, reference can simply be made to the previous answers where the situation is unchanged. If there have been new developments, these should be described in a new answer.
