1.

A lightweight garment for women intended to cover the body reaching down to the crotch, made of a knitted self-coloured fabric of synthetic fibres (80 % polyamide and 20 % elastane), the fabric does not contain any rubber thread.

The garment is fitted with 8 mm wide strips of vulcanised rubber (heading 4008 ), which are added by stitching them into the neckline, armholes and leg openings.

The garment has under wired bra style shaped cups, a lined gusset, adjustable straps and high cut openings for the legs.

(swimsuit)

(See photograph No 641) (*1)

6112 41 90

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 6112 , 6112 41 and 6112 41 90 .

Since the rubber is added to the garment but not contained in the fabric of the garment, this garment cannot be classified in subheading 6112 41 10 (women's or girls' swimwear of synthetic fibres containing 5 % or more of rubber thread).

Taking into account its general appearance, the cut and the nature of the fabric, the garment meets the criteria for classification of women's or girls' swimwear of synthetic fibres (CN code 6112 41 90 — other).

| 2. | Padded textile article composed of two layers of woven textile material (100 % cotton) assembled with padding by stitching.
  The made up article is assembled by sewing and shows the following characteristics:
  The article is approx. 90 cm long and has a close fitting neckline. It has an opening at the front with a zip fastener of a length of approximately 68 cm. There is an elastic tightening element at the waist. The upper part of the article has armholes and the sides and the base are completely closed. The cut of the upper part gives the garment its body shape.

There is an elastic tightening element at the waist. The upper part of the article has armholes and the sides and the base are completely closed. The cut of the upper part gives the garment its body shape.

(Romper bag for children)

(See photograph No 640) (*1)

6211 42 90

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 7 to Section XI, Note 8 to Chapter 62 and the wording of CN codes 6211 , 6211 42 and 6211 42 90 .

According to Note 4 a) to Chapter 62 this article cannot be considered as a babies' garment since it is designed for young children of a body height exceeding 86 cm, therefore classification in heading 6209 is excluded.

Taking into account the CN Explanatory Notes to heading 6111 , which consider babies' romper bags with armholes or sleeves to be garments, the article in question which is designed in the same manner as the ones for babies (the upper part is cut like a garment), only bigger in size, shall also be considered as a garment.

Because of the cut of its upper part the article is considered to be a garment of Section XI and not an article of bedding or similar furnishing. Therefore classification in heading 9404 is excluded.

Since in the chapters covering garments there is no specific heading for this kind of article, it has to be classified as ‘other garment’.

| 3. | A furnishing article of textile materials to be used in motor-cars. It is intended to be placed on seats of motor vehicles and consists of a multi-layered material, the outer layers are made of a woven material (cotton) and the middle layer of a non-woven material, which serves as padding.

6304 92 00

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of the CN codes 6304 and 6304 92 00 .

See the HS explanatory notes to heading 6304 , which state that this heading includes furnishing articles of textile materials used in motor-cars.

This article is not a part of a car seat but an accessory to the seat therefore it cannot be classified in heading 9401 . See also the HS explanatory notes to heading 9401 , Parts.

Because this article is designed to be used in motor cars, it cannot be considered as an article of bedding or similar furnishing. Therefore classification in heading 9404 is excluded.

(CN code)

Reasons

(3)

1.

A replica of a specific mobile phone (a so-called ‘mock-up’).

The product is made mainly of plastics. It has no electronic components.

Its size, design and weight are identical to the characteristics of the specific model.

It is equipped with buttons allowing the feeling of pushing real buttons.

3926 90 97

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3926 , 3926 90 and 3926 90 97 .

Because of its construction and the fact that it does not possess the functions of a mobile phone, the product is excluded from heading 8517 .

Although the product is a replica of a specific mobile phone by looking like one and being equipped with buttons providing the feel of a mobile phone, it does not demonstrate any other feature or property of the model in question. Its main task is to show what a specific mobile phone looks like. Therefore the product is excluded from heading 9023 .

The product is to be classified according to the constituent material (plastics).

| 2. | A so-called ‘self-inflatable mattress’ intended for outdoor use, with the following dimensions: 185 cm (L), 66 cm (W) and 3,8 cm (H).
  The outer surface of the article consists of a textile fabric of synthetic fibres coated on the inner side with plastic. It incorporates a sheet (thickness approximately 3,5 cm) of polyurethane foam with open cells.
  The outer surface of the article increases the friction with other products (for example, sleeping bags) and is durable, resisting dirt, dampness and punctures.
  It has a valve which allows air to go in when being unrolled and out when being rolled. |

The outer surface of the article increases the friction with other products (for example, sleeping bags) and is durable, resisting dirt, dampness and punctures.

It has a valve which allows air to go in when being unrolled and out when being rolled.

6306 40 00

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 6306 and 6306 40 00 .

Due to its objective characteristics (friction, dirt resistance, durability) and the fact that it is intended for outdoor use, the product is a camping good.

It is excluded from Chapter 94 because the article is a pneumatic mattress (see Note 1(a) to Chapter 94).

The product is to be classified under subheading 6306 40 00 as a camping good being a pneumatic mattress of textile.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 8901 , 8901 10 and 8901 10 90 .

The catamaran is a vessel designed for transporting passengers in rivers, estuaries or coastal waters. As it is not constructed to carry passengers beyond a certain distance from the shore, it cannot be a vessel for the ‘transport of persons’ on the sea. Consequently, the product cannot be considered as a ‘seagoing vessel’ (see Additional Note 1 to Chapter 89).

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 Article 15 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 establishing a European Railway Agency (Agency Regulation) (2) and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2004/49/EC on safety on the Community’s railways elaborates the provisions for the safety certificates of railway undertakings. Article 10 of this Directive states that in order to be granted access to a railway infrastructure, a railway undertaking must hold a safety certificate. The purpose of the safety certificate is to provide evidence that the railway undertaking has established its safety management system and can meet requirements laid down in Technical Specifications for Interoperability, established under Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system (3), Directive 2001/16/EC of 19 March 2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system (4), and other Community legislation, and in national rules in order to control risks and operate safely on the network. |

| (2) | Member States should make efforts to assist applicants wishing to enter the market as railway undertakings, and in particular they should provide information and act promptly for requests for safety certification. For railway undertakings operating international services it is important that the procedures for safety certification are similar in different Member States; therefore common parts of the safety certificate shall be harmonised in order to provide for a common template. To this end Article 15 of Directive 2004/49/EC provides for the harmonisation of safety certificates. Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 states that the Agency shall draft and recommend a harmonised format for safety certificates, including an electronic version, and a harmonised format for applications for safety certificates including a list of the essential details to be provided. |

| (5) | In accordance with Article 10(6) of Directive 2004/49/EC national safety authorities shall inform the Agency of the safety certificates issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 10(2)(a) of the same Directive (Part A Certificates). However the Agency, in accordance with Article 11(1)(b) of its Regulation (EC) No 881/2004, shall keep a public database of all safety certificates issued in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC. This obligation requires the Agency to publish both Part A and Part B Certificates. Therefore in support of Article 11(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 Member States shall inform the Agency of Part B safety certificates granted under Article 10(2)(b) of Directive 2004/49/EC, as well as Part A certificates. |

In accordance with Article 10(6) of Directive 2004/49/EC national safety authorities shall inform the Agency of the safety certificates issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 10(2)(a) of the same Directive (Part A Certificates). However the Agency, in accordance with Article 11(1)(b) of its Regulation (EC) No 881/2004, shall keep a public database of all safety certificates issued in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC. This obligation requires the Agency to publish both Part A and Part B Certificates. Therefore in support of Article 11(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 Member States shall inform the Agency of Part B safety certificates granted under Article 10(2)(b) of Directive 2004/49/EC, as well as Part A certificates.

| (6) | National safety authorities may inform the Agency of the issue, renewal, amendment or revocation of safety certificates by three main methods: through the use of the Agency’s web based tool, by submitting an electronic file of the safety certificate, or by providing a facsimile of the safety certificate. To facilitate the use of the standard format and to guarantee the use of the latest version of the forms it is recommended that national safety authorities use the web based electronic format on the website of the Agency or download either the electronic file or the master documents provided on the same website. The use of the web based electronic version is highly recommended as it allows for saving the document directly into the Agency’s database. Submitting an electronic file is also recommended, as it enables the Agency to save the document as a codified file, which can be sent directly to the Agency’s safety database. |

| (8) | In order to avoid unnecessary financial and administrative burdens, it is necessary to clarify that railway undertakings having obtained a safety certificate in accordance with Directive 2001/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2001 on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (5) are not obliged to apply for a new safety certificate until 1st of January 2011. Existing safety certificates are valid as long as the conditions for their validity are met; as soon as one of the conditions is not met (such as, for example, expiry or change of geographical scope), a new safety certificate shall be requested. This should not preclude the case where a railway undertaking, which already holds a certificate granted under Directive 2001/14/EC, can request a certificate in the new harmonised format. This question has been brought to the attention of the Commission in the context of Article 28(1) of Directive 2004/49/EC. |

GUIDELINES FOR COMPILATION

GUIDELINES FOR COMPILATION

Information to be entered into the Application Form for Safety Certificates Part A and Part B

INTRODUCTION

This Application Form is to be used by railway undertakings (also referred to as ‘the applicant’) applying for a Safety Certificate Part A and/or Part B (Article 10(1) — Directive 2004/49/EC). References in this document are made, unless otherwise mentioned, to Articles in Directive 2004/49/EC.

A railway undertaking applying for either one of these certificates or for both may use this Application Form to forward its request to the competent issuing safety authority/organisation. Its use will enable the authority to process the request without undue delay and however within the terms fixed in Article 12(1).

All fields in the form should be completed and applicable information provided by the railway undertaking.

Safety Certificates Part A and Part B

This document allows a railway undertaking to apply, at the same time, both for Part A and Part B Certificates or just for one of them using the same form; it can be used to request either a new, renewed or updated/amended Part A and/or Part B Certificate (as defined in Article 10(5)).

It is possible to apply only for a new Part A Certificate and, with a second application, later for the first Part B Certificate.

If applying only for a Part B Certificate, it is necessary to hold a valid Part A Certificate.

Type and extent of railway operations

According to Article 10(5), a Safety Certificate shall be wholly or partly updated whenever the type or extent of the operation is substantially altered and the holder shall without delay inform the competent safety authority of all major changes in the conditions of the relevant part of the Safety Certificate. Therefore it is important, for the safety authority to know and for the railway undertaking to establish ‘type’ and ‘extent’ of railway services.

‘Type’ and ‘extent’, form the basis for the Community validity of the Part A Certificate and provide reference to define ‘equivalent rail transport operations’ (Article 10(3)) throughout the Community.

‘Type’ of service is characterised by passenger transport, including and excluding high-speed services, freight transport, including and excluding dangerous goods services, and shunting services only.

‘Extent’ of service and of the railway undertaking is characterised by volume of passenger/goods and the estimated size of the railway undertaking in terms of employees working in the railway sector (micro, small, medium sized, large enterprise).

‘Type’ and ‘extent’ of services for all Part B Certificates, carried out globally by the same railway undertaking in one or more States, must be covered by ‘type’ and ‘extent’ of services of the Part A Certificate.

All information contained in fields 2.6 to 2.19 and 3.6 to 3.16 is necessary to establish if services intended to be operated with the requested Safety Certificate are equivalent or not to other rail transport operations already carried out by the applicant under previously held valid certificate(s).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Page 3 of the Application Form is intended as a reminder of the documents that must accompany each application. It shall be used as a reference list both for the applicant and for the issuing organisation/authority and therefore be used as the front page of the annexes to the application form (each box must be checked according to the specific cases).

For easy reference and guidance, each field in the Application Form has been numbered and explained in the following pages.

A person authorised to approve the request submitted with the Application Form shall sign the document, in the appropriate space, delivered to the safety organisation/authority. The name of the signing person shall also be spelled out.

FIELD 2 —   Type of document (2 digit number)

Two digits allow identifying the type of document: the first digit identifies the general classification of the document, whether it is a Safety Certificate (number 1) or any other kind of document (number different from 1); the second digit specifies the subtype of document, whether it is a Part A (number 1) or Part B (number 2) Certificate. For now, possible combinations in the numbers would reflect just two cases of interest and use:

| | [1 1] for Safety Certificates — Part A; |
| --- | --- |

[1 1] for Safety Certificates — Part A;

| | [1 2] for Safety Certificates — Part B. |
| --- | --- |

[1 2] for Safety Certificates — Part B.

With the need for other codes this numbering system can be extended. Following is the proposed list of known, possible combinations of two digit numbers in relation to the type of document considered:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 12 June 2007

on a harmonised monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella in poultry and pigs

(notified under document number C(2007) 2421)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/407/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC (1), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Directive 2003/99/EC, Member States shall ensure that monitoring provides comparable data on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic agents and, in so far as they present a threat to public health, other agents. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Pursuant to Directive 2003/99/EC, Member States shall ensure that monitoring provides comparable data on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic agents and, in so far as they present a threat to public health, other agents.

| (2) | A FAO/OIE/WHO workshop on scientific assessment on non-human usage of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance in 2003 concluded that there is clear evidence of adverse human health consequences due to resistant organisms resulting from non-human usage of antimicrobials: increased frequency of infections, increased frequency of treatment failures (in some cases death) and increased severity of infections, as documented for instance by fluoroquinolone-resistant human Salmonella infections. Evidence shows that the amount and pattern of non-human usage of antimicrobials affect the occurrence of resistant bacteria in animals and food and thereby human exposure to these resistant bacteria (Joint FAO/OIE/WHO Expert Workshop, 2003). However, it should be noted that most of the resistance problems in human medicine are caused by human usage and over usage of antimicrobial agents for therapy and prophylaxis (European Parliament, October 2006). |

Not more than one isolate per Salmonella serovar from the same epidemiological unit per year shall be included in the monitoring. The epidemiological unit for laying hens, broilers, and turkeys is the flock. For pigs, the epidemiological unit is the holding.

2.   Number of isolates to be tested

The number of Salmonella isolates to be included in the antimicrobial resistance monitoring per Member State per year shall be 170 for each study population (i.e. laying hens, broilers, turkeys and slaughter pigs).

In those Member States where, in any given year, a lower number of isolates than the target sample size is available from the monitoring or control programmes, all these isolates shall be included in the antimicrobial resistance monitoring.

In those Member States where a higher number of isolates is available all isolates, or a representative random selection equal or larger than the target sample size, shall be included.

3.   Antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Member States shall test at least the antimicrobials that are specified in Table 2, using the cut-off values given and an appropriate concentration range to determine the susceptibility of Salmonella.

Dilution methods shall be performed according to the methods described by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), accepted as international reference method (ISO standard 20776-1:2006). It is recommended that the selected isolates of S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium are phage typed.

4.   Collection of the data and reporting

The results of the antimicrobial resistance monitoring shall be assessed and reported, in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2003/99/EC, in the yearly report on trends and sources of zoonoses, zoonotic agents and antimicrobial resistance.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Annex IV of Directive 2003/99/EC the following information shall be reported for Salmonella in laying hens, broilers, turkeys and pigs:
