THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8, points 3 and 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(2)(b) and Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (2), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4) provides that poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’) are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto. |

Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4) provides that poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’) are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the commodities concerned. Those requirements take into account whether or not specific conditions are required due to the disease status of those third countries, territories, zones or compartments. Those specific conditions, as well as the model veterinary certificates required to accompany imports of those commodities, are set out in Part 2 of Annex I to that Regulation. |

Those specific conditions, as well as the model veterinary certificates required to accompany imports of those commodities, are set out in Part 2 of Annex I to that Regulation.

| (3) | Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down rules for the control of Salmonella in different poultry populations in the Union. It provides that admission to, or retention on, the lists of third countries provided for in Union legislation, for the relevant species or category, from which Member States are authorised to import table eggs from poultry covered by that Regulation is subject to the submission to the Commission by the third country concerned of a control programme for Salmonella with equivalent guarantees to those contained in the national control programmes for Salmonella in the Member States. Guarantees and information in that regard are also included in the relevant model veterinary certificates for those commodities set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008. |

Guarantees and information in that regard are also included in the relevant model veterinary certificates for those commodities set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

| (4) | The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (5) has introduced a request for the authorisation of imports of eggs for human consumption and poultry meat into the Union. The Commission has positively evaluated the submitted information as regards the animal health conditions in that third country required for import and transit of these commodities. The animal health requirements for imports of fresh poultry meat to the Union are more stringent than those for eggs for human consumption due to the possible increased risk for disease transmission linked to that commodity. An audit of the Food and Veterinary Office is scheduled for 2016 in order to fully assess the poultry health status and conditions for imports of poultry meat. Pending that audit, it is appropriate to limit the authorisation of imports into the Union to table eggs for human consumption. |

5.   SPECIFICATIONS

A vehicle fitted with a control, a tell-tale or an indicator, listed in the Table, shall meet the prescribed requirements of this Regulation for the location, identification and colour, and illumination of such control, tell-tale or indicator.

5.1.   Location

5.1.1.   The controls to be used by a driver while driving the vehicle shall be located so that they are operable by this driver under the conditions of paragraph 5.6.2.

5.1.2.   The tell-tales and indicators, shall be located so that they are visible and recognisable to a driver during night and day under the conditions of paragraphs 5.6.1 and 5.6.2. Tell-tales and indicators need not be visible or recognisable when not activated.

5.1.3.   The identifications of tell-tales, indicators and controls shall be placed on or adjacent to the tell-tales, indicators and controls that they identify. In the case of multifunction control, the identifications need not be immediately adjacent. Nonetheless, they shall be as close as practicable to such multifunction control.

5.1.4.   Notwithstanding paragraphs 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 the tell-tale for ‘passenger air bag off’, if fitted, must be located within the interior of the vehicle and forward of and above the design H-point of both the driver's and the front passenger(s)' seat in their forward most seating positions. The tell-tale which alerts front seat occupants that the passenger air bag is switched off must be visible to the driver and front passenger(s) under all driving conditions.

5.2.   Identification

5.2.1.   Where fitted, the controls, tell-tales and indicators, listed under the heading column 3 of the Table, shall be identified by symbols designated for them in column 2 of the Table. This requirement does not apply to the horn (an audible warning signal) control, when it is activated by a narrow ring-type control or by a lanyard. If a symbol is used for identifying a control, tell-tale or indicator not listed in the Table, it is recommended to use a symbol designated for the purpose in standard ISO 2575:2004 where one exists and where that symbol is suitable for the application concerned.

5.2.2.   To identify a control, a tell-tale or an indicator not included in the Table or ISO 2575:2004, the manufacturer may use a symbol of its own conception. Such symbol may include internationally recognised alphabetic or numeric indications. All symbols used shall follow the design principles laid down in paragraph 4 of ISO 2575:2004.

5.2.3.   If necessary for clarity, supplementary symbols may be used in conjunction with any symbol specified in the Table or ISO 2575:2004.

5.2.4.   Each additional or supplementary symbol used by the manufacturer must not cause confusion with any symbol specified in this Regulation.

5.2.5.   Where a control, an indicator or a tell-tale for the same function are combined, one symbol may be used to identify such combination.

5.2.6.   Except as provided in paragraph 5.2.7, all identifications of tell-tales, indicators and controls listed in the Table or ISO 2575:2004 must appear to the driver perceptually upright. In case of rotating control, this paragraph applies to it when such control is in its ‘off’ position.

5.2.7.   The identification of the following need not appear to the driver perceptually upright:

| 5.2.7.1. | A horn control, |
| --- | --- |

5.2.7.1.

A horn control,

| 5.2.7.2. | Any control, tell-tale or indicator located on the steering wheel, when the steering wheel is positioned for the motor vehicle to travel in other than a straight forward direction, and |
| --- | --- |

5.2.7.2.

Any control, tell-tale or indicator located on the steering wheel, when the steering wheel is positioned for the motor vehicle to travel in other than a straight forward direction, and

| 5.2.7.3. | Any rotating control that does not have an off position. |
| --- | --- |

5.2.7.3.

Any rotating control that does not have an off position.

5.2.8.   Each control for the automatic vehicle speed system (cruise control) and each control for heating and air conditioning system(s) shall have identification provided for each function of each such system.

5.2.9.   When fitted each control that regulates a system function over a continuous range shall have identification provided for the limits of the adjustment range of any such function.

If colour coding is used to identify the limits of the adjustment range of a temperature function, the hot limit shall be identified by the colour red and the cold limit by the colour blue. If the status or limit of a function is shown by an indicator separated from and not adjacent to the control for that function, both the control and the indicator must be independently identified in compliance with paragraph 5.1.3.

5.2.10.   Automatic functions may be indicated with the symbol relevant for the corresponding item as referred to in column 1 of the Table, with the supplementary letter(s) ‘A’ or ‘AUTO’ positioned on or adjacent to its outline.

5.3.   Illumination

5.3.1.   The identifications of controls for which the word ‘Yes’ is indicated in column 4 of the Table shall be capable of being illuminated whenever the position lamps are activated. This does not apply to controls located on the floor, floor console, steering wheel or steering column, or in the area of windscreen header or to controls for a heating and air-conditioning system if the system does not direct air directly upon the windscreen.

5.3.2.   The indicators and their identifications for which the word ‘Yes’ is indicated in column 4 of the Table shall be illuminated whenever the device which starts and/or stops the engine is in a position which makes it possible for the engine to operate and the position lamps are activated.

5.3.3.   The indicators, their identifications and the identifications of controls need not be illuminated when the headlamps are being flashed or operated as daytime running lamps.

5.3.4.   At the manufacturer's discretion any control, indicator or their identifications may be capable of being illuminated at any time.

5.3.5.   A tell-tale shall not emit light except when identifying the malfunction or vehicle condition for whose indication it is designed or during a bulb check.

5.3.6.   Brightness of Tell-Tale Illumination

Means shall be provided for making tell-tales and their identification visible and recognisable to the driver under all driving conditions.

5.4.   Colour

5.4.1.   Light of each tell-tale listed in the Table shall be of the colour shown in column 5 of this table.

5.4.1.1.   Nevertheless if already fitted on the vehicle as specified in the Table with the colour specification of column 5, each symbol with the footnote 18 may be shown in other colours, in order to convey different meanings, according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5 of standard ISO 2575:2004.

18

5.4.2.   Indicators and tell-tales and identifications of indicators and controls not listed in the Table may be of any colour chosen by the manufacturer, however, such colour must not interfere with or mask the identification of any tell-tale, control or indicator specified in the Table. The colour to be selected shall follow the guidelines specified in paragraph 5 of standard ISO 2575:2004.

5.4.3.   Each symbol used for identification of tell-tale, control or indicator shall stand out clearly against the background.

5.4.4.   The dark part of any symbol may be replaced by its outline.
