COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/1042

of 23 July 2018

amending Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, as regards technical requirements and administrative procedures related to introducing support programmes, psychological assessment of flight crew, as well as systematic and random testing of psychoactive substances to ensure medical fitness of flight and cabin crew members, and as regards equipping newly manufactured turbine-powered aeroplanes with a maximum certified take-off mass of 5 700 kg or less and approved to carry six to nine passengers with a terrain awareness warning system

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 7(6), Article 8(5) and Article 10(5) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (2) lays down detailed rules for commercial air transport operations with aeroplanes and helicopters, including ramp inspections of aircraft of operators under the safety oversight of another Member State or of a third country, when landed at aerodromes located in the territory subject to the provisions of the Treaty. That Regulation also stipulates that crew members are not to carry out duties on an aircraft when under the influence of psychoactive substances or when unfit due to injury, fatigue, medication, sickness or other similar causes. |

That Regulation also stipulates that crew members are not to carry out duties on an aircraft when under the influence of psychoactive substances or when unfit due to injury, fatigue, medication, sickness or other similar causes.

| (2) | The European Aviation Safety Agency (‘the Agency’) has identified a number of safety risks and issued recommendations to mitigate those risks. The implementation of some of those recommendations requires regulatory changes as regards the psychological assessment of the flight crew before commencing line flying, the implementation of a support programme for flight crew, the carrying-out of random alcohol testing on flight and cabin crew members by Member States, and systematic testing of psychoactive substances of flight and cabin crew members by commercial air transport operators. |

(3)

With regards to psychoactive substance testing, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Manual on Prevention of Problematic Use of Substances in the Aviation Workplace (Doc 9654) should be taken into account.

| (4) | The existing ramp inspection programme referred to in Subpart RAMP of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 already provides a framework for the systematic, structured and risk-based inspection of operators containing extensive provisions and safeguards for, inter alia, data protection, inspector training, risk-based sampling, the grounding of aircraft and preventing unnecessary delays. It is therefore appropriate to apply that well-established framework to carry out alcohol tests on flight crew and cabin crew members. A flight crew or cabin crew member who refuses to cooperate during tests or who has been identified to be under the influence of psychoactive substances after a confirmed positive test is to be removed from duty. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1043

of 24 July 2018

concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance fenamidone, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and Article 78(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Directive 2003/68/EC (2) included fenamidone as an active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Directive 2003/68/EC (2) included fenamidone as an active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3).

| (2) | Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4). |
| --- | --- |

Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

| (3) | The approval of the active substance fenamidone, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 July 2019. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The approval of the active substance fenamidone, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 July 2019.

| (4) | An application for the renewal of the approval of fenamidone was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

An application for the renewal of the approval of fenamidone was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article.

| (5) | The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State. |

| --- | --- |

(8)

On 11 February 2016 the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether fenamidone can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

| (9) | The Autority identified specific concerns. In particular, it was not possible to conclude on the genotoxic potential of fenamidone and no health-based reference values could be set. Consequently, the consumer and non-dietary risk asessements could not be conducted. Furthermore, a high potential for groundwater contamination above the parametric drinking water limit of 0,1 μg/L by a toxicologically relevant metabolite (RPA 412708) was indicated in all pertinent scenarios for crops grown in soils of predominantly pH 7 or above. In addition, the Authority concluded that the consumer risk assessment for exposure to another groundwater metabolite (RPA 412636) which is also found in food of plant and animal origin could not be finalised. Furthermore, the residue definitions for risk assessment in plant and livestock commodities are not finalised in terms of the inclusion of potentially relevant metabolites. Finally, the Authority concluded that the risk assessment for wild mammals could not be finalised and a high risk to aquatic organisms from exposure to the metabolite acetophenone could not be excluded based on the available information. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2018/1044

of 23 July 2018

amending the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 on protective measures in relation to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain Member States

(notified under document C(2018) 4795)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 (3) was adopted following outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5 in a number of Member States (‘the concerned Member States’), and the establishment of protection and surveillance zones by the competent authority of the concerned Member States in accordance with Article 16(1) of Council Directive 2005/94/EC (4). |

(1)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 (3) was adopted following outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5 in a number of Member States (‘the concerned Member States’), and the establishment of protection and surveillance zones by the competent authority of the concerned Member States in accordance with Article 16(1) of Council Directive 2005/94/EC (4).

| (2) | Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 provides that the protection and surveillance zones established by the competent authorities of the concerned Member States in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 also lays down that the measures to be applied in the protection and surveillance zones, as provided for in Article 29(1) and Article 31 of Directive 2005/94/EC, are to be maintained until at least the dates for those zones set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. |

Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 provides that the protection and surveillance zones established by the competent authorities of the concerned Member States in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 also lays down that the measures to be applied in the protection and surveillance zones, as provided for in Article 29(1) and Article 31 of Directive 2005/94/EC, are to be maintained until at least the dates for those zones set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision.

| (3) | Since the date of its adoption, Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 has been amended several times to take account of developments in the epidemiological situation in the Union as regards avian influenza. In particular, Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 was amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/696 (5) in order to lay down rules regarding the dispatch of consignments of day-old chicks from the areas listed in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247. That amendment took into account the fact that day-old chicks pose a very low risk for the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza compared to other poultry commodities. |

That amendment took into account the fact that day-old chicks pose a very low risk for the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza compared to other poultry commodities.

| (4) | Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 was also subsequently amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1841 (6) in order to strengthen the disease control measures applicable where there is an increased risk for the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. Consequently, Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 now provides for the establishment at Union level of further restricted zones in the concerned Member States, as referred to in Article 16(4) of Directive 2005/94/EC, following an outbreak or outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the duration of the measures to be applied therein. Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 now also lays down rules for the dispatch of live poultry, day-old chicks and hatching eggs from the further restricted zones to other Member States, subject to certain conditions. |
