COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/826

of 23 March 2022

correcting and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions from the plaice box

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on the conservation of fisheries resources and the protection of marine ecosystems through technical measures, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1967/2006, (EC) No 1224/2009 and Regulations (EU) No 1380/2013, (EU) 2016/1139, (EU) 2018/973, (EU) 2019/472 and (EU) 2019/1022 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 894/97, (EC) No 850/98, (EC) No 2549/2000, (EC) No 254/2002, (EC) No 812/2004 and (EC) No 2187/2005 (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 on the conservation of fisheries resources and the protection of marine ecosystems through technical measures contains an error in Annex V, Part C which must be corrected. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 on the conservation of fisheries resources and the protection of marine ecosystems through technical measures contains an error in Annex V, Part C which must be corrected.

| (2) | While recital 5 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1160 (2) refers to ‘Danish anchor seines’, the corresponding provision in the annex refers to ‘Danish seines’ only. Given that Article 6(18) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 does not distinguish between Danish seines and Scottish seines/‘flyshooters’, the provision in Annex V as it stands can therefore be read as incorrectly applying to both Danish anchor seines and Scottish seines. |

Given that Article 6(18) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 does not distinguish between Danish seines and Scottish seines/‘flyshooters’, the provision in Annex V as it stands can therefore be read as incorrectly applying to both Danish anchor seines and Scottish seines.

| (3) | Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1160 is based on a joint recommendation submitted on 19 October 2020 by Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden (Scheveningen Group), who have a direct fisheries management interest in the North Sea. Section 3.1.2 of the joint recommendation specifically distinguished between Danish seine that does the hauling of the fishing gear while the vessel is at anchor (anchor seining) and Scottish seine, confirming that Member States intended the requested exemption to apply to Danish anchor seine only. |

Section 3.1.2 of the joint recommendation specifically distinguished between Danish seine that does the hauling of the fishing gear while the vessel is at anchor (anchor seining) and Scottish seine, confirming that Member States intended the requested exemption to apply to Danish anchor seine only.

| (4) | The STECF assessment, concluding that the introduction of the specific exemption for Danish seine is not expected to have any significant effect on the level of protection inside the area, referred only to Danish ‘anchor seine’ (gear code SDN (3)) and not to ‘Scottish’ or flyshooter/flydragger seines (gear code SSC  (3)). |

| (5) | Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 should therefore be corrected to clarify that the proposed exemption applies only to those Danish seines that do the hauling of the fishing gear while the vessel is at anchor (Danish anchor seine (gear code SDN)). |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2010/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 June 2010 on transportable pressure equipment and repealing Council Directives 76/767/EEC, 84/525/EEC, 84/526/EEC, 84/527/EEC and 1999/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 31(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In August 2019, as part of the market surveillance of transportable pressure equipment performed in accordance with the provisions of Articles 16 to 26 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and with the provisions of Article 30 of Directive 2010/35/EU, the French Market Surveillance Authority investigated the case of a pressure cylinder manufactured by Xinchang Burong Machinery Co.

The French Market Surveillance Authority examined the case in accordance with the applicable rules on manufacturing and placing on the market, as set out in Section I.1 of Annex I to Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), in the EN ISO 11118:2015 standard and in Articles 4 and 6 of Directive 2010/35/EU. The examination revealed that the product had not undergone a conformity assessment and that it displayed an undue Pi marking. Moreover, the manufacturer held neither the certificates for initial inspections and tests, nor the certificates for supervision of the manufacture required pursuant to subsections 1.8.7.3 and 1.8.7.4 of Section I.1 of Annex I to Directive 2008/68/EC.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/835

of 25 May 2022

on the unresolved objections regarding the conditions for granting an authorisation for the biocidal product Primer Stain TIP in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(notified under document C(2022) 3379)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 29 April 2016, the company Lanxess Deutschland GmbH (‘the applicant’) submitted an application to France for the mutual recognition in parallel in accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the biocidal product Primer Stain TIP (‘the biocidal product’). The biocidal product is a wood preservative of product-type 8 to be used for the preventive treatment against wood discolouring fungi, wood destroying basidiomycetes and wood boring beetles (larvae). The product is applied by brushing and rolling, automated dipping, manual dipping and deluge and contains as active substances tebuconazole, IPBC and permethrin. Germany is the reference Member State responsible for the evaluation of the application as referred to in Article 34(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. |

On 29 April 2016, the company Lanxess Deutschland GmbH (‘the applicant’) submitted an application to France for the mutual recognition in parallel in accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the biocidal product Primer Stain TIP (‘the biocidal product’). The biocidal product is a wood preservative of product-type 8 to be used for the preventive treatment against wood discolouring fungi, wood destroying basidiomycetes and wood boring beetles (larvae). The product is applied by brushing and rolling, automated dipping, manual dipping and deluge and contains as active substances tebuconazole, IPBC and permethrin. Germany is the reference Member State responsible for the evaluation of the application as referred to in Article 34(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

| (2) | On 28 August 2020, pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, France referred objections to the coordination group, indicating that the conditions of the authorisation set by Germany do not ensure that the biocidal product meets the requirement laid down in Article 19(1), point (b)(iii), of that Regulation. France considers that in order to ensure the safe handling of the biocidal product, wearing of personal protective equipment consisting of protective chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of the European Standard EN 374 (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) is required for application by brushing and rolling and automated dipping, wearing of personal protective equipment consisting of protective chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of the European Standard EN 374 (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and coverall of at least type 6 as specified in European Standard EN 13034 is required for application by manual dipping and deluge, and wearing of chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of the European Standard EN 374 is required for subsequent manual processing of the freshly treated timber. According to France, the application of technical and organisational measures in accordance with Council Directive 98/24/EC (2) as a possible replacement for wearing personal protective equipment does not ensure an adequate protection if those measures are not specified and evaluated in the assessment of the biocidal product. |

On 28 August 2020, pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, France referred objections to the coordination group, indicating that the conditions of the authorisation set by Germany do not ensure that the biocidal product meets the requirement laid down in Article 19(1), point (b)(iii), of that Regulation.

According to France, the application of technical and organisational measures in accordance with Council Directive 98/24/EC (2) as a possible replacement for wearing personal protective equipment does not ensure an adequate protection if those measures are not specified and evaluated in the assessment of the biocidal product.

| (3) | Germany considers that Directive 98/24/EC establishes the order of preference of different risk mitigation measures for protection of workers and prioritises the application of technical and organisational measures over wearing personal protection equipment for the use of the biocidal product. According to Germany, pursuant to that Directive the employer is to decide which technical and organisational measures are to be applied, and as there is a broad range of such measures, it is not feasible to describe and evaluate the measures in the authorisation of the biocidal product. |

| (4) | As no agreement was reached by the coordination group, on 28 October 2020 Germany referred the unresolved objection to the Commission pursuant to Article 36(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. It thereby provided the Commission with a detailed statement of the matter on which Member States were unable to reach agreement and the reasons for their disagreement. That statement was forwarded to the Member States concerned and the applicant. |

| (9) | Point 56(2) of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 indicates that in establishing compliance with the criteria set out in Article 19(1), point (b), of that Regulation, one of the conclusions to which the evaluating body is to make, is that subject to specific conditions/restrictions the biocidal product can comply with the criteria. |

| (10) | Point 62 of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 states that the evaluating body is, where appropriate, to conclude that the criterion under Article 19(1), point (b)(iii), of that Regulation can only be complied with by application of prevention and protection measures including the design of work processes, engineering controls, use of adequate equipment and materials, application of collective protection measures and, where exposure cannot be prevented by other means, application of individual protection measures including the wearing of personal protective equipment such as respirators, breathing-masks, overalls, gloves and goggles, in order to reduce exposure for professional operators. |

| (11) | However, point 62 of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 does not provide that the assessment leading to the conclusion that the criterion under Article 19(1), point (b)(iii), of that Regulation can only be complied with by application of prevention and protection measures is to be done in accordance with Directive 98/24/EC. It also does not explicitly provide that that Directive would not apply. Therefore, it should not be inferred from those provisions that Directive 98/24/EC does not apply. In addition, the relevant obligations under Directive 98/24/EC are imposed on employers, not on the authorities of Member States. |

In addition, the relevant obligations under Directive 98/24/EC are imposed on employers, not on the authorities of Member States.

| (12) | Article 4 of Directive 98/24/EC provides that for the assessment of any risk to the safety and health of workers arising from the presence of chemical agents, employers are to obtain additional information needed from the supplier or from other readily available sources and that where appropriate, that information is to comprise the specific assessment concerning the risk to users established on the basis of Union legislation on chemical agents. |

| (13) | Article 6 of Directive 98/24/EC lays down prioritisation of the measures to be taken by the employer for the protection of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work. Priority is to be given to replacement of the hazardous substance and when this is not possible, the risk from a hazardous chemical agent to the safety and health of workers at work needs to be reduced to a minimum by application of protection and prevention measures. If it is not possible to prevent exposure to the hazardous substance by other means, protection of the workers is to be ensured by applying individual protection measures including personal protective equipment. |

| (16) | However, if the applicant for authorisation identifies effective technical or organisational measures and the authorising authority agrees that such measures lead to an equivalent or higher level of exposure reduction, or the authorising authority itself identifies measures leading to an equivalent or higher level of exposure reduction, those measures should replace the wearing of personal protective equipment and should be specified in the authorisation and on the label of the biocidal product. |

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The biocidal product identified by the case number BC-NF023903-46 in the Register for Biocidal Products meets the condition laid down in Article 19(1), point (b)(iii), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 provided that the following condition regarding its use is included in the authorisation and on the label of the biocidal product: ‘The wearing of protective chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of the European Standard EN 374 (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) is required for application by brushing and rolling and automated dipping, wearing of chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of the European Standard EN 374 (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and coverall of at least type 6 as specified in European Standard EN 13034 is required for application by manual dipping and deluge, and wearing of chemical resistant gloves meeting the requirements of European Standard EN 374 (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) is required for subsequent manual processing of the freshly treated timber. This is without prejudice to the application by employers of Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work.’

However, where the applicant for authorisation identifies technical or organisational measures and the authorising authority agrees that such measures achieve a level of exposure reduction equivalent to or higher than the reduction achieved by wearing the protective equipment referred to in the first paragraph, or the authorising authority itself identifies such measures leading to an equivalent or higher level of exposure reduction than the reduction achieved by wearing the protective equipment referred to in the first paragraph, those measures shall be used instead of that personal protective equipment and shall be specified in the authorisation and on the label of the biocidal product. In that case the obligation to include the condition regarding the use of the biocidal product laid down in the first paragraph shall not apply.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
