COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/662

of 1 April 2016

concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of the Union for 2017, 2018 and 2019 to ensure compliance with maximum residue levels of pesticides and to assess the consumer exposure to pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), in particular Article 29(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008 (2) a first coordinated multiannual Community control programme, covering the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, was established. That programme continued under consecutive Commission Regulations. The latest one was Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/595 (3). |

By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008 (2) a first coordinated multiannual Community control programme, covering the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, was established. That programme continued under consecutive Commission Regulations. The latest one was Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/595 (3).

| (2) | Thirty to forty foodstuffs constitute the major components of the diet in the Union. Since pesticide uses show significant changes over a period of 3 years, pesticides should be monitored in those foodstuffs over a series of 3-year cycles to allow consumer exposure and the application of Union legislation to be assessed. |

Thirty to forty foodstuffs constitute the major components of the diet in the Union. Since pesticide uses show significant changes over a period of 3 years, pesticides should be monitored in those foodstuffs over a series of 3-year cycles to allow consumer exposure and the application of Union legislation to be assessed.

| (3) | The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a scientific report on a design assessment of the pesticide monitoring program. It concluded that an MRL exceedance rate above 1 % could be estimated with a margin of error of 0,75 % by selecting 683 sample units for minimum 32 different food items (4). Collection of those samples should be apportioned among Member States according to population numbers, with a minimum of 12 samples per product and per year. |

(4)  If no sufficient samples of oat grain are available, the part of the required sample number for oat grain that could not be taken, can be added to the sample number for barley grain, resulting in a reduced sample number for oat grain and a proportionately increased sample number for barley grain.

(5)  Where appropriate, also polished rice grain can be analysed. It shall be reported to EFSA whether polished or husked rice was analysed. If polished rice was analysed, a processing factor shall be reported. If no specific processing factors are available, a default factor of 0,5 may be applied.

(6)  If no sufficient samples of barley grain are available, the part of the required sample number for barley grain that could not be taken, can be added to the sample number for oat grain, resulting in a reduced sample number for barley grain and a proportionately increased sample number for oat grain.

(7)  For the raw commodities to be analysed, the parts of the products to which MRLs apply shall be analysed for the main product of the group or subgroup as listed in part A of Annex I to Reg. (EU) No 752/2014 unless stated otherwise.

(8)  Unprocessed products (including frozen products) shall be analysed.

(9)  Fresh (unprocessed) milk shall be analysed, including frozen, pasteurised, heated, sterilised or filtrated milk.

(10)  Whole eggs without the shell shall be analysed.

(3)

An electronic machine functioning as an audio interface or a sound mixer (so-called ‘mixer-converter analogue/digital pre-amplifier device’), with dimensions of approximately 48 × 18 × 9 cm. It consists of sound and effects processors, an analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converter and a microphone amplifier, in a housing with operating and display elements and various analogue, optical and digital inputs and outputs as well as FireWire ports.

It has the following main technical features:

—

hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity (capability to be connected to an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine),

| — | 28-input mixer with digital signal processing effects; |
| --- | --- |

—

28-input mixer with digital signal processing effects;

| --- | --- |

—

separate front-panel headphone jacks, each with independent volume control, and

| — | front panel LED status clock. |
| --- | --- |

—

front panel LED status clock.

The machine is designed for use in digital music productions in sound studios or live on stage. It can operate in two modes: in conjunction with an ADP machine or in a stand-alone mode.

When the machine is used in conjunction with an ADP machine, it serves for converting and processing audio signals supplied from external audio sources and for the pre-amplification of microphone signals. In stand-alone mode, the machine can be used as a mixer with integrated effects.

8543 70 90

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 5(E) to Chapter 84 and by the wording of CN codes 8543 , 8543 70 and 8543 70 90 .

As the machine performs a specific function other than data processing (sound pre-amplification and mixing) it is to be classified in the heading appropriate to its respective function or, failing that, in a residual heading.

The function of the machine is not covered more specifically by any heading of Chapter 85. The machine is to be considered a mixing unit covered by heading 8543 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8543 , fourth paragraph, (4)).

The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90 as other machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.

The apparatus offers a 2-step digital zoom function. It is capable of recording video images at a resolution of 1 280 × 720 pixels at a rate of 30 frames per second for a maximum of 2 hours. It is not capable of capturing still images.

Video images recorded by the apparatus can be either transferred to an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine via the in-built USB interface or to a television set via a micro HDMI cable.

Upon presentation, video files can also be transferred to the apparatus from an ADP machine via the in-built USB interface. The apparatus can also be used as a removable storage device.

8525 80 99

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8525 , 8525 80 and 8525 80 99 .

As the apparatus is only capable of recording video images, classification as a digital camera under CN code 8525 80 30 is excluded. The fact that the apparatus has no optical zoom function does not prevent its classification as video camera recorder. (see Case C-178/14, Vario Tek, ECLI:EU:C:2015:152, para. 17-29). Given its objective characteristics, the apparatus is a video camera recorder.

Video files can be transferred and stored to the apparatus from an ADP machine and the apparatus is capable of performing this function autonomously without any modifications. Therefore, the apparatus is considered to be able to record video files from sources other than the incorporated television camera. (See Case C-178/14, Vario Tek, ECLI:EU:C:2015:152, para. 30-39).

Classification under CN code 8525 80 91 as video camera recorders only able to record sound and images taken by the television camera is consequently excluded.

It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8525 80 99 as other video camera recorders.

| (5) | Point 2.2 of Part 1 of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 808/2014 establishes minimum requirements for information and publicity actions by the beneficiaries during the implementation of an operation. Point 2.2(b) provides for different requirements according to the total public support. In the interest of ensuring proportionate and harmonised requirements, a single threshold should be set at EUR 50 000. In addition, taking into account the particular nature of the area and animal related measures and of other measures which do not concern investments, Member States should be allowed to decide if these measures should be concerned by the information obligations. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/670

of 28 April 2016

introducing prior Union surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel products originating in certain third countries

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/478 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2015 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/755 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 on common rules for imports from certain third countries (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

After consulting the Committee on Safeguards and Common Rules for exports,

Whereas:

| (1) | According to Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 prior Union surveillance may be introduced where the trend in imports of a product threatens to cause injury to Union producers and where the interest of the Union so require. Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2015/755 also allows for the possibility to introduce prior surveillance where the Union's interests so require. |

(2)

The European Commission has published a communication on 16 March 2016 setting out possibilities how to overcome the recent challenges faced by the European steel producers (3).

| (3) | Imports into the Union of iron and steel products in general increased by 32 % between 2012 and 2015, from 41,8 million tonnes to 55,0 million tonnes. During the same period, prices of overall steel imports decreased by 17 %. On the other hand, Union exports of steel products decreased by almost 20 % on average, from 62,3 in 2012 to 50,7 million tonnes in 2015 (4). |

On the other hand, Union exports of steel products decreased by almost 20 % on average, from 62,3 in 2012 to 50,7 million tonnes in 2015 (4).

| (4) | The trends are even more marked for the steel products which were previously subject to prior Union surveillance until 2012 (5). For these products, imports increased by 53 % over the same period, from 13,3 million tonnes in 2012 to 20,2 million tonnes in 2015, and the corresponding import prices dropped by 22 % on average (6). |

| (5) | Since the early 2000s the capacity to produce steel at global level has increased rapidly with most of the new capacity created in the People's Republic of China (‘China’). The world's nominal steelmaking capacity was estimated to reach 2 243 million tonnes in 2014, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (‘OECD’), a level that is more than twice as high as the capacity level of 1 060 million tonnes observed in 2000. |

| (6) | In parallel, overall exports increased dramatically mainly from China, due to the overall economic downturn and the decreasing domestic demand. This has depressed the steel prices worldwide. China is today the first world producer of steel with 822,7 million tonnes crude steel production in 2014 (7), which is almost half of the global steel production. The Chinese excess capacity is estimated to be around 350 million tonnes (8). This represents about 40 % of China's production and almost double of the total Union yearly production of steel. |

| (7) | Already in 2015 10 % of the Chinese exports reached the Union, accounting for more than 30 % of total Union imports. As a consequence, the modest rise of Union domestic demand was fully taken by imports. Given the fact that the Union is an important market for steel in terms of size and price, it is more than likely that any excess in steel capacity will continue to be re-directed to the Union. |

| (8) | At the same time, access to third country markets has been reduced to a significant extent recently. Governments increasingly resort to trade policy actions in response to the crisis facing the global steel industry and many economies that previously did not use such measures are now adopting them. These measures took different forms of trade barriers, including tariff increases, anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, and concern markets with a significant share of the global consumption (9). This is further increasing the possibilities of trade diversion of steel into the Union. |

| (9) | Union steel industry remains a world leader in the highly technologically specialised product segment. However, the Union steel makers' competitive position on the global steel market has deteriorated in the last few years. Indeed, the financial performance of the Union steel industry has been deteriorating rapidly in the recent years. Average operating profitability is below sustainable levels, investments have been slowing down, employment levels have decreased and there is hardly any room for expansion. The Union industry has to face high energy costs and dependence on imported raw material. |

| (10) | Furthermore, even though the production of crude steel in the Union remained relatively stable in the period 2013-2015 at around 166 to 169 million tonnes per year, during the second semester of 2015 there was a significant contraction of around 10 % as compared to the first semester. |

| (11) | On the basis of recent trends in imports of steel products, of the current vulnerable situation of the Union industry, the continuing weak demand on the Union market and the likelihood that current and future excess capacity would be re-directed to Union if demand recovers, a threat of injury to Union producers is therefore deemed to exist. |

| (12) | Thus, the Union interest requires that imports of certain steel products should be subject to prior Union surveillance in order to provide advanced statistical information permitting rapid analysis of import trends from all non-EU member countries. Rapid and anticipated trade data is necessary to deal with the vulnerability of the EU steel market to sudden changes on world steel markets. This is particularly important in the present crisis situation marked by uncertainties as to whether the demand will structurally pick up and whether the EU industry will actually benefit from it. |
