COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2018/219

of 23 January 2018

on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation on the linking of their greenhouse gas emissions trading systems

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1), in conjunction with point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 218(6) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2017/2240 (2), the Agreement between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation on the linking of their greenhouse gas emissions trading systems (the ‘Agreement’) was signed on 23 November 2017, subject to its conclusion at a later date. |

(1)

In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2017/2240 (2), the Agreement between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation on the linking of their greenhouse gas emissions trading systems (the ‘Agreement’) was signed on 23 November 2017, subject to its conclusion at a later date.

| (2) | Cap and trade systems are policy tools that cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Linking cap and trade systems is expected to result in broader carbon pricing, increasing the availability of reduction opportunities and enhancing the cost-efficiency of emissions trading. The development of a well-functioning international carbon market through bottom-up linking of emissions trading systems (‘ETS’) is a long term policy goal of the Union and the international community, notably as a means to achieve the climate objectives, including under the Paris Agreement on climate change. |

  The appliance answers to the description under heading 8424 (dispersing of sand and salt) and to the description under heading 8432 (fertiliser distributor and a seeder). It cannot be classified by virtue of Note 3 to Section XVI as it does not perform one principal function. In accordance with Note 2 to Chapter 84, an appliance which answers to a description in one or more of the headings 8401 to 8424 and at the same time to a description in one or other of the headings 8425 to 8480 is to be classified under the appropriate heading of the former group (heading 8424 in this case).
  The appliance can be used both as an agricultural or horticultural appliance of subheading 8424 82 and as other appliances of subheading 8424 89 . Given its characteristics, neither of those functions is considered to be the principal function of the appliance within the meaning of Note 3 to Section XVI and neither of the two subheadings is considered to provide a more specific description. Consequently, the appliance is to be classified under the subheading that occurs last in numerical order.
  The appliance is therefore to be classified under CN code 8424 89 70 as other mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders. |

The appliance answers to the description under heading 8424 (dispersing of sand and salt) and to the description under heading 8432 (fertiliser distributor and a seeder). It cannot be classified by virtue of Note 3 to Section XVI as it does not perform one principal function. In accordance with Note 2 to Chapter 84, an appliance which answers to a description in one or more of the headings 8401 to 8424 and at the same time to a description in one or other of the headings 8425 to 8480 is to be classified under the appropriate heading of the former group (heading 8424 in this case).

The appliance can be used both as an agricultural or horticultural appliance of subheading 8424 82 and as other appliances of subheading 8424 89 . Given its characteristics, neither of those functions is considered to be the principal function of the appliance within the meaning of Note 3 to Section XVI and neither of the two subheadings is considered to provide a more specific description.

of 15 February 2018

amending Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the European Union reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs

(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 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 32(5) and (6) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down the general tasks and requirements for European Union reference laboratories (‘EU reference laboratories’) for food and feed and for animal health. The designated EU reference laboratories are listed in Annex VII to that Regulation, including that responsible for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs. |

The designated EU reference laboratories are listed in Annex VII to that Regulation, including that responsible for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs.

| (2) | The designation of the EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs, located in the United Kingdom, will be discontinued on 31 December 2018 as a consequence of the United Kingdom notification in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. |

The designation of the EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs, located in the United Kingdom, will be discontinued on 31 December 2018 as a consequence of the United Kingdom notification in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.

| (3) | Since Salmonella, Escherichia coli and viruses represent the main food-borne risks in bivalve molluscs, the EU reference laboratories for the analysis and testing of zoonoses (salmonella), the EU reference laboratory for Escherichia coli, including Verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) and the EU reference laboratory for foodborne viruses should conduct the analytical tests for salmonella, E. coli and viruses respectively which were conducted so far by the EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs. The EU reference laboratory for the monitoring of marine biotoxins should take over the activities related to the classification and monitoring of production areas for bivalve molluscs. An EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs is thus no longer needed and should therefore be removed from the list in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. |

An EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs is thus no longer needed and should therefore be removed from the list in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (5) | In order to avoid any disruption of the activities currently carried out by the EU reference laboratory for monitoring the viral and bacteriological contamination of bivalve molluscs, it is appropriate that the measures provided for in this Regulation apply as from 1 January 2019. |
