amending Annexes II, IV, XI, XII and XVIII to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (1), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2007/46/EC establishes an harmonised framework containing the administrative provisions and general technical requirements for all new vehicles. In particular, it lists the regulatory acts laying down the technical requirements with which vehicles have to comply in order to be granted EC vehicle type-approval. Furthermore, Directive 2007/46/EC made the EC whole-vehicle type-approval mandatory for special purpose vehicles in accordance with the timetable set out in its Annex XIX. |

Directive 2007/46/EC establishes an harmonised framework containing the administrative provisions and general technical requirements for all new vehicles. In particular, it lists the regulatory acts laying down the technical requirements with which vehicles have to comply in order to be granted EC vehicle type-approval. Furthermore, Directive 2007/46/EC made the EC whole-vehicle type-approval mandatory for special purpose vehicles in accordance with the timetable set out in its Annex XIX.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), introduced new safety features for vehicles and provided for the repeal of several directives and their replacement by the corresponding United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), introduced new safety features for vehicles and provided for the repeal of several directives and their replacement by the corresponding United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations.

| (3) | Annex XI to Directive 2007/46/EC contains a list of regulatory acts for the EC type-approval of special purpose vehicles, as well as specific provisions for such vehicles. It is essential to adapt Annex XI to take into account the changes introduced by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. The date of application of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 shall apply. |

It is essential to adapt Annex XI to take into account the changes introduced by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. The date of application of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 shall apply.

| (4) | To achieve the harmonisation of the technical requirements applying for the EC whole-vehicle type-approval of special purpose vehicles, it is essential to amend Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC and to establish stricter requirements on ambulances and wheelchair accessible vehicles. In order to give time to industry to adapt their vehicles, those sticter requirements shall only apply to new vehicle types. |

(4)

To achieve the harmonisation of the technical requirements applying for the EC whole-vehicle type-approval of special purpose vehicles, it is essential to amend Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC and to establish stricter requirements on ambulances and wheelchair accessible vehicles. In order to give time to industry to adapt their vehicles, those sticter requirements shall only apply to new vehicle types.

| (5) | Annex XVIII to Directive 2007/46/EC was relevant for the registration of special purpose vehicles based on incomplete vehicles holding a national type-approval. Since EC type-approvals will replace national type-approvals in accordance with the dates set out in Annex XIX to Directive 2007/46/EC, it is appropriate to delete Annex XVIII at the end of the transitional period foreseen by Annex XIX to Directive 2007/46/EC. |

| (6) | Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC lists the UNECE Regulations recognised as an alternative to the directives mentioned in Part I of Annex IV. With the repeal of most of those directives by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 from 1 November 2014 and the adoption of a new UNECE Regulation on pedestrian safety, it is appropriate to update the relevant entries in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC. Furthermore, it is appropriate to correct several errors in Annex IV to that directive. |

Furthermore, it is appropriate to correct several errors in Annex IV to that directive.

| (7) | Annex XII to Directive 2007/46/EC was amended the same day by Commission Regulation (EU) 1229/2012 (3) and by Commission Regulation (EU) 1230/2012 (4), which may lead to an unclear situation regarding the number of units allowed for vehicles holding a small series type-approval because Regulation (EU) 1229/2012 was drafted to be published after Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. To remove this uncertainty, it is appropriate to publish again the consolidated version of Annex XII as amended by these two legal texts. |

| 1.1. | Each wheelchair location shall be provided with anchorages to which a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS) shall be fitted. |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

| 1.2. | The wheelchair occupant’s lower belt anchorages shall be located in accordance with UNECE Regulation 14-07, paragraph 5.4.2.2, relative to Point P on the SWC when placed in the travelling position designated by the manufacturer. The upper actual anchorage (s) shall be located at least 1 100 mm above the horizontal plane passing through the points of contact between the rear tyres of the SWC and the vehicle floor. This condition shall still be satisfied after the test carried out according to paragraph 2. below. |
| --- | --- |

1.2.

| 1.3. | An assessment shall be made of the WTORS occupant belt to ensure compliance with the provisions of UNECE Regulation 16-06 paragraphs 8.2.2 to 8.2.2.4 and 8.3.1 to 8.3.4. |
| --- | --- |

1.3.

| 1.4. | The minimum number of ISOFIX child seat anchorages need not to be provided. In the case of a multi-stage approval where an ISOFIX anchorage system has been affected by the conversion, the system shall either be re-tested or the anchorages shall be rendered unusable. In the latter case the ISOFIX labels shall be removed and appropriate information given to the vehicle purchaser. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.   Components of the system

| 2.3.1. | All components of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of ISO 10542-1:2012. However, the dynamic test specified in Annex A and paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of ISO 10542-1:2012 shall be carried out on the complete WTORS using the vehicle anchorage geometry instead of the test geometry specified in Annex A of ISO 10542-1:2012. This may be carried out within the vehicle structure or on a surrogate structure representative of the vehicle’s WTORS anchorage geometry. The location of each anchorage shall lie within the tolerance provided for in point 7.7.1 of UNECE Regulation No 16-06. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.1.

| 2.3.2. | Where the occupant restraint part of the WTORS is approved according to UNECE Regulation No 16-06, it shall be subject to the dynamic test of the complete WTORS specified in paragraph 2.3.1, but the requirements of Paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 of ISO10542-1:2012 shall be considered to have been met. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.2.

3.   Dynamic in-vehicle testing

| 3.1. | The full assembly of the WTORS system shall be tested by an in-vehicle dynamic test in line with paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 and Annex A of ISO 10542-1:2012, testing all components/anchorages simultaneously, using a vehicle body-in-white or representative structure. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.

| 3.2. | The component parts of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of ISO10542-1:2012 paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4. These requirements shall be deemed to have been met in respect of the occupant restraint if it is approved according to UNECE Regulation No 16-06. |

| (2) | The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they deal with the fund-specific rules for each of the five European Structural and Investment Funds (the ‘ESI Funds’) on aspects common to three or more of them, i.e. a methodology for climate change support, the determination of milestones and targets in the performance framework and the nomenclature of categories of intervention and all affect the content of programmes. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time to facilitate strategic programming of the ESI Funds, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by all Union residents, it is desirable to include these elements relevant for the programming of the ESI Funds to be set out by implementing acts as required by Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 in a single Regulation. |

| (3) | Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, it is necessary to adopt a common methodology to determine the level of support for climate change objectives for each of the five ESI Funds. That methodology should consist of assigning a specific weighting to the support provided under the ESI Funds at a level which reflects the extent to which such support makes a contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation goals. The specific weighting assigned should be differentiated on the basis of whether the support makes a significant or a moderate contribution towards climate change objectives. Where the support does not contribute towards those objectives or the contribution is insignificant, a weighting of zero should be assigned. The standard weightings should be used to ensure a harmonised approach to tracking of climate change related expenditure across different Union policies. The methodology should nevertheless reflect the differences in the interventions of each of the different ESI Funds. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, in the case of the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund weightings should be attached to categories of intervention established within the nomenclature adopted by the Commission. In the case of the EAFRD weightings should be attached to focus areas set out in Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and in the case of the EMFF to measures set out in a future Union legal act establishing the condition for the financial support for maritime and fisheries policy for the 2014-2020 programming period. |

CHAPTER I

METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE SUPPORT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE OBJECTIVES FOR EACH OF THE ESI FUNDS

(Empowerment under the third subparagraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013)

Article 1

Methodology for the calculation of support by the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund for climate change objectives

1.   The calculation of support to be used for climate change objectives by the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund shall be carried out in two steps as follows:

| (a) | the coefficients set out in Table 1 of Annex I to this Regulation shall be applied by intervention field code to financial data reported for those codes; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the coefficients set out in Table 1 of Annex I to this Regulation shall be applied by intervention field code to financial data reported for those codes;

| (b) | in relation to financial data reported against intervention field codes that have a coefficient of zero, where financial data is reported in the thematic objective dimension against codes 04 and 05 set out in Table 5 of Annex I to this Regulation, the data shall be weighted with a 40 % coefficient in terms of their contribution to climate change objectives. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

in relation to financial data reported against intervention field codes that have a coefficient of zero, where financial data is reported in the thematic objective dimension against codes 04 and 05 set out in Table 5 of Annex I to this Regulation, the data shall be weighted with a 40 % coefficient in terms of their contribution to climate change objectives.

2.   The climate change coefficients applied on the basis of Table 1 of Annex I to this Regulation shall also apply to the respective categories under the European territorial cooperation goal established on the basis of the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

3.   The calculation of support for climate change objectives by the ESF shall be made by identifying the financial data reported against dimension code 01 ‘Supporting the shift to a low carbon, resource efficient economy’ in accordance with Dimension 6 ‘Codes for the secondary theme dimension under the European Social Fund’ as set out in Table 6 of Annex I to this Regulation.

Article 2

Methodology for the calculation of support by the EAFRD for climate change objectives

1.   The indicative amount of support to be used for climate change objectives by the EAFRD in each programme as referred to in Article 27(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 shall be calculated by applying the coefficients set out in Annex II to this Regulation to the planned expenditure shown in the financing plan referred to in Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 in relation to the priorities and focus areas referred to in points 3(b), 4, 5 and 6(b) of Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

2.   For the purpose of reporting on support used for climate change objectives in the annual implementation report in accordance with Article 50(4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, the coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 shall be applied to the information on expenditure referred to in Article 75(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

Article 3

Methodology for the calculation of support by the EMFF for climate change objectives

1.   The contribution to climate change by the EMFF shall be calculated by attaching coefficients to each of the main measures supported by the EMFF reflecting the climate change relevance of each of these measures.

Support by the EMFF for climate change objectives shall be calculated on the basis of the following information:

| (a) | the indicative amount of support to be used for climate change objectives by the EMFF in each programme as referred to in Article 27(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013; |
| --- | --- |

| (b) | the coefficients established for the main measures supported by the EMFF as set out in Annex III to this Regulation; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the coefficients established for the main measures supported by the EMFF as set out in Annex III to this Regulation;

| (c) | reporting by Member States on financial appropriations and expenditure by measure in annual implementation reports pursuant to Article 50(4) and (5) of Regulation No 1303/2013; |
| --- | --- |

(c)

reporting by Member States on financial appropriations and expenditure by measure in annual implementation reports pursuant to Article 50(4) and (5) of Regulation No 1303/2013;

| (d) | the information and data provided by Member States on operations selected for funding pursuant to a future Union legal act establishing the conditions for the financial support for maritime and fisheries policy for the programming period 2014-2020 (the ‘EMFF Regulation’). |
| --- | --- |

(d)

the information and data provided by Member States on operations selected for funding pursuant to a future Union legal act establishing the conditions for the financial support for maritime and fisheries policy for the programming period 2014-2020 (the ‘EMFF Regulation’).

2.   A Member State may propose in its operational programme that a coefficient of 40 % be assigned to a measure weighed with a coefficient of 0 % in Annex III to this Regulation, provided that it can demonstrate the relevance of that measure to climate change mitigation or adaptation.

CHAPTER II

DETERMINING MILESTONES AND TARGETS IN THE PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK AND ASSESSING THEIR ACHIEVEMENT

(Empowerment under the fifth subparagraph of Article 22(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013)

Article 4

Information to be recorded by the bodies preparing the programmes

1.   The bodies preparing programmes shall record information on the methodologies and criteria applied to select indicators for the performance framework to ensure that corresponding milestones and targets comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 3 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 for all programmes and priorities supported by the ESI Funds, as well as the specific allocation to the Youth Employment Initiative (‘YEI’) as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), subject to the exceptions set out in paragraph 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

2.   The information recorded by the bodies preparing programmes shall permit verification of compliance with the conditions set out in paragraph 3 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 for the milestones and targets. This shall include:

| (a) | data or evidence used to estimate the value of milestones and targets and the calculation method, such as data on unit costs, benchmarks, standard or a past rate of implementation, expert advice and the conclusions of the ex-ante evaluation; |

an explanation of the selection of result indicators or key implementation steps, where these have been included in the performance framework.

3.   The information on the methodologies and criteria applied to select indicators for the performance framework and to fix corresponding milestones and targets recorded by the bodies preparing programmes shall be made available at the request of the Commission.

4.   The requirements referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3 of this Article shall also apply to the revision of milestones and targets in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

Article 5

Establishment of milestones and targets

1.   Milestones and targets shall be set at the level of the priority, except in the cases referred to in Article 7. Output indicators and key implementation steps set out in the performance framework shall correspond to more than 50 % of the financial allocation to the priority. For the purposes of establishing that amount, an allocation to an indicator or key implementation step shall not be counted more than once.

2.   For all ESI Funds, except for the EAFRD, the milestone and the target for a financial indicator shall refer to the total amount of eligible expenditure entered into the accounting system of the certifying authority and certified by that authority in accordance with point (c) of Article 126 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

For the EAFRD, they shall refer to the realised total public expenditure entered into the common monitoring and evaluation system.

3.   For all ESI Funds, except for the ESF and the EAFRD, the milestone and target for an output indicator shall refer to operations, where all the actions leading to outputs have been implemented in full, but for which not all the payments have necessarily been made.

For the ESF and for the EAFRD for measures according to Articles 16, 19(1)(c), 21 (1)(a) and (b), 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, they may also relate to the achieved value for operations which have been started but where some of the actions leading to outputs are still ongoing.

For other measures under the EAFRD, they shall refer to the completed operations in the meaning of Article 2(14) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

4.   A key implementation step shall be an important stage in the implementation of operations under a priority, whose completion is verifiable and may be expressed by a number or percentage. For the purpose of Articles 6 and 7 of this Regulation, key implementation steps shall be treated as indicators.

5.   A result indicator shall be used only where appropriate and closely linked to supported policy interventions.

6.   Where the information referred to in Article 4(2) of this Regulation has been found to be based on incorrect assumptions leading to under- or over-estimation of targets or milestones, this may be considered to constitute a duly justified case in the meaning of paragraph 5 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

Article 6

Achievement of milestones and targets

1.   The achievement of milestones and targets shall be assessed by taking into account all indicators and key implementation steps included in the performance framework set at the level of priority in the meaning of Article 2(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 except in cases referred to in Article 7 of this Regulation.

2.   The milestones or targets of a priority shall be deemed to be achieved if all indicators included in the related performance framework have achieved at least 85 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 or at least 85 % of the target value by the end of 2023. By way of derogation, where the performance framework includes three or more indicators, the milestones or targets of a priority may be deemed to be achieved if all indicators except for one achieve 85 % of their milestone values by the end of 2018 or 85 % of their target value by the end of 2023. The indicator, which does not achieve 85 % of its milestone or target value, shall not achieve less than 75 % of its milestone or target value.

3.   For a priority whose performance framework includes no more than two indicators, a failure to achieve at least 65 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 for either of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve milestones. A failure to achieve at least 65 % of the target value by the end of 2023 for either of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve the targets.

4.   For a priority whose performance framework includes more than two indicators the failure to achieve at least 65 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 for at least two of those indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve milestones A failure to achieve at least 65 % of the target value by the end of 2023 for at least two of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve the targets.

Article 7

Performance framework for priority axes referred to in Article 96(1)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and priority axes integrating the YEI

1.   The indicators and key implementation steps selected for the performance framework, their milestones and targets, as well as their achievement values shall be broken down by Fund and, for the ERDF and the ESF, by category of region.

2.   The information required in Article 4(2) of this Regulation shall be set out by Fund and by category of region, where applicable.

3.   The achievement of milestones and targets shall be assessed separately for each Fund and for each category of region within the priority, taking into account the indicators, their milestones and targets, and their achievement values broken down by Fund and category of region. Output indicators and key implementation steps set out in the performance framework shall correspond to more than 50 % of the financial allocation to the Fund and category of region, where applicable. For the purposes of establishing that amount, an allocation to an indicator or key implementation step shall not be counted more than once.

4.   If the resources for the YEI are programmed as a part of a priority axis in accordance with Article 18(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013, a performance framework shall be established separately for the YEI and the achievement of milestones set for the YEI shall be assessed separately from the other part of the priority axis.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 216/2014

of 7 March 2014

amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat

(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 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 (1), and in particular points 6, 8, 10 and 12 of Article 18 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat (2) lays down rules for the sampling of carcases of species susceptible to Trichinella infection, for the determination of the status holdings and regions and conditions for import of meat into the Union. It also provides for reference methods and equivalent methods of detection of Trichinella in samples of carcases. |

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat (2) lays down rules for the sampling of carcases of species susceptible to Trichinella infection, for the determination of the status holdings and regions and conditions for import of meat into the Union. It also provides for reference methods and equivalent methods of detection of Trichinella in samples of carcases.

| (2) | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 3 October 2011 a Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (3). In that opinion EFSA identified Trichinella as a medium risk for public health related to the consumption of pig meat and concludes that with respect to inspection methods for biological hazards, a pork carcass safety assurance, with a range of preventive measures and controls applied both on-farm and at slaughterhouse in an integrated way is the only way to ensure an effective control of the main hazards. |

EFSA identified certain epidemiological indicators in relation to Trichinella. Depending on the purpose and the epidemiological situation of the country the indicators may be applied at national, regional, slaughterhouse or holding level.

| (4) | EFSA recognises the sporadic presence of Trichinella in the Union, mainly in free-ranging and backyard pigs. EFSA also identified that the type of production system is the single main risk factor for Trichinella infections. In addition, available data demonstrate that the risk of Trichinella infection in pigs from officially recognised controlled housing conditions is negligible. |

A negligible risk status for a country or region is no longer recognised in an international context by the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE). Instead, such recognition is linked to compartments of one or more holdings applying specific controlled housing conditions.

| (6) | For reasons of consistency with international standards, and in order to enhance a control system in accordance with the actual public health risks, the Trichinella risk mitigation measures, including import conditions, at slaughterhouses and the conditions for determination of the Trichinella infection status of countries, regions or holdings should be adapted, rationalised and simplified. |

| (7) | Belgium and Denmark notified in 2011 a Trichinella negligible risk for their territory in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005. Such negligible risk status for a country or region is however no longer recognised. Nevertheless, holdings and compartments in Belgium and Denmark which comply with the conditions for controlled housing at the date of entry into force of this Regulation should be allowed to apply the derogation for such holdings and compartments without additional prerequisites such as further requirements of post-official recognition by the competent authority. |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 10(1) 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 (2), and in particular Article 17(1) and points 3 and 10 of Article 18 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. In accordance with Annex II to that Regulation food business operators operating slaughterhouses are to request, receive, check and act upon food chain information in respect of all animals, other than wild game, sent or intended to be sent to the slaughterhouse. Such information includes the status of the holding of provenance. |

| (2) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 216/2014 of 7 March 2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat (3) grants derogation from testing provisions to holdings which apply controlled housing conditions. Such information should therefore be included in the food chain information to be provided to the slaughterhouse, in order to enable the Member States to apply the appropriate Trichinella testing regime. |

Such information should therefore be included in the food chain information to be provided to the slaughterhouse, in order to enable the Member States to apply the appropriate Trichinella testing regime.

| (3) | Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down conditions under which meat from animals having undergone emergency slaughter outside a slaughterhouse, is fit for human consumption. As emergency slaughter meat which has successfully passed meat inspection does not constitute a risk to public health, the requirement for a special health mark and the restriction to the national market for the emergency slaughter meat should be deleted from that Regulation and the requirement for a special health mark for the emergency slaughter meat also from Regulation (EC) No 854/2004. |

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. In particular, Annex I to that Regulation lays down rules for ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, including visual inspection, and for specific hazards in fresh meat. |

Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. In particular, Annex I to that Regulation lays down rules for ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, including visual inspection, and for specific hazards in fresh meat.

| (5) | Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 provides that official auxiliaries may assist the official veterinarian with official controls subject to certain restrictions. In relation to ante-mortem inspection and checks concerning the welfare of animals, official auxiliaries should be allowed to help the official veterinarian with the preselection of animals with abnormalities. |

In relation to ante-mortem inspection and checks concerning the welfare of animals, official auxiliaries should be allowed to help the official veterinarian with the preselection of animals with abnormalities.

| (6) | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 3 October 2011 a Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (4), which concluded that the currently required palpations and incisions in post-mortem inspection involve a risk of cross contamination. To prevent that cross contamination, those palpations and incisions should not be required anymore for normal animals, but only when abnormalities are identified. In that opinion EFSA identifies that the pathogens causing endocarditis in pigs are not relevant for public health. Since the routine incision of the heart is not necessary for safety reasons, it should not be required anymore. |

| (8) | In Chapter IX of Section IV of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004, provisions are laid down on the tasks of the official veterinarian for specific hazards. Salmonella should also be subject of specific task of the official veterinarian, in particular in case of non-compliance with specific Union legislation. In particular supervision of the existing process hygiene criterion for Salmonella on carcases laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 15 November 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs (5) and enforcement of action by the food business operator in case of non-compliance with specific Union legislation, should be integrated in pigmeat inspection. The supervision also provides a cost-efficient tool to provide the information on the mandatory monitoring of Salmonella in the pigmeat production chain in accordance with Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC (6). |

amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the specific requirements for post-mortem inspection of domestic swine

(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 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 (1), and in particular Article 17(1) and point 7 of Article 18 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. It provides, inter alia, that Member States are to ensure that official controls with respect to fresh meat take place in accordance with Annex I thereto. Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 also provides that the official veterinarian is to carry out inspection tasks in slaughterhouses, game handling establishments and cutting plants placing fresh meat on the market in accordance with, inter alia, the specific requirements of Section IV of Annex I thereto. |

Part B of Chapter IV of Section IV of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 sets out the specific requirements for the post-mortem inspection of domestic swine.

| (3) | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 3 October 2011 a Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (2), which concluded that the currently required palpations and incisions in post-mortem inspection, involve a risk of cross contamination with bacterial hazards. |

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 3 October 2011 a Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (2), which concluded that the currently required palpations and incisions in post-mortem inspection, involve a risk of cross contamination with bacterial hazards.

| (4) | EFSA also concluded that palpation or incisions used in current post-mortem inspection should be omitted in pigs subjected to routine slaughter, because the risk of microbial cross-contamination is higher than the risk associated with potentially reduced detection of conditions targeted by those techniques. The use of those manual techniques during post-mortem inspection should be limited to suspect pigs identified, inter alia, through post-mortem visual detection of relevant abnormalities. |

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 4 February 2014

identifying the credit institutions that are subject to the comprehensive assessment

(ECB/2014/3)

(2014/123/EU)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 4(3) and Article 33(3) and (4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Supervisory Board,

Whereas:

| (1) | From 3 November 2013, in view of the assumption of its supervisory tasks, the European Central Bank (ECB) may require the national competent authorities and the persons referred to in Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 to provide all relevant information for the ECB to carry out a comprehensive assessment, including a balance-sheet assessment, of the credit institutions of the participating Member States. The ECB is required to carry out such an assessment at least in relation to the credit institutions not covered by Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. |
| --- | --- |

From 3 November 2013, in view of the assumption of its supervisory tasks, the European Central Bank (ECB) may require the national competent authorities and the persons referred to in Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 to provide all relevant information for the ECB to carry out a comprehensive assessment, including a balance-sheet assessment, of the credit institutions of the participating Member States. The ECB is required to carry out such an assessment at least in relation to the credit institutions not covered by Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.

(2)

On 23 October 2013, the ECB published the names of institutions included in the comprehensive assessment as well as an initial overview of the key features of the comprehensive assessment.

| (3) | Based on the criteria referred to in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the ECB has identified credit institutions in respect of which it intends to carry out a comprehensive assessment, including a balance-sheet assessment, in accordance with Article 33(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. In applying the above criteria, the ECB has taken into account possible changes that may occur at any time owing to the dynamics of the activities of credit institutions and the resulting consequences for the total value of their assets. As a result, it has included credit institutions that currently do not meet the criteria for significance but may do so in the near future and should be subject therefore to the comprehensive assessment. The ECB will therefore undertake a comprehensive assessment with respect to credit institutions, financial holding companies or mixed financial holding companies the total value of whose assets exceeds EUR 27 billion. Notwithstanding the above criteria, the ECB will also undertake the comprehensive assessment with respect to the three most significant institutions in each of the euro area Member States. The identification of credit institutions on which the ECB intends to carry out comprehensive assessments is without prejudice to the final assessment of the criteria that is based on the specific methodology included in the framework referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. |

| (8) | The Commission Communication COM(2007) 424 final (2) concluded that women continue to be affected by gender pay discrimination and inequalities in the labour market which prevents them from realising their full potential. Conspicuous direct pay discrimination for the exact same work has become a rather rare occurrence. However, the existing legal framework has been less effective in ensuring implementation of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. Such discrimination is less likely to be the subject of a court case not only because potential victims are probably not aware of it, but also because it is more difficult for victims of pay discrimination to effectively enforce the principle of equal pay. Victims have to establish the facts that give rise to a presumption of discrimination in order to shift the burden of proof to the employer. Obscure pay structures and a lack of available information about pay levels of employees performing the same work or work of equal value are major contributing factors to these difficulties. |

For 2006 and 2010, the gender pay gap was calculated from the data collected by the Structure of Earnings survey. For 2007 to 2009, gender pay gap data were transmitted on a voluntary basis, often with delays and in draft form subject to later revision. Annual high-quality statistics could increase transparency and further enhance awareness of the gender inequality problem as regards pay. The availability and comparability of such data is instrumental for assessing developments throughout the Union. |

1.

II.   WAGE TRANSPARENCY

| 2. | Member States should encourage public and private employers and social partners to adopt transparency policies on wage composition and structures. They should put in place specific measures to promote wage transparency. In particular, these measures should include one or more of the actions referred to in points 3 to 6 in an approach tailor made to the specific domestic situation. |
| --- | --- |

2.

Right of employees to obtain information on pay levels

| 3. | Member States should put in place appropriate and proportionate measures to ensure that employees can request information on pay levels, broken down by gender, for categories of employees doing the same work or work of equal value.

| --- | --- |

4.

Pay audits

| 5. | Member States should take appropriate measures to ensure that pay audits are conducted in undertakings and organisations with at least 250 employees. These audits should include an analysis of the proportion of women and men in each category of employee or position, an analysis of the job evaluation and classification system used and detailed information on pay and pay differentials on grounds of gender. These audits should be made available to workers’ representatives and social partners on request. |
| --- | --- |

5.

Collective bargaining

| 6. | Without prejudice to the autonomy of social partners and in accordance with national law and practice, Member States should ensure that the issue of equal pay, including pay audits, is discussed at the appropriate level of collective bargaining. |
| --- | --- |

6.

Statistics and administrative data

| 7. | Member States should further improve the availability of up-to-date gender pay gap data by providing Eurostat with statistics annually and in a timely manner. These statistics should be broken down by gender, economic sector (12), working time (full-time/part-time), economic control (public/private ownership) and age and be calculated on an annual basis. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | Member States should also provide the Commission with data on the number and types of pay discrimination cases when notifying it in accordance with point 18. |
| --- | --- |

8.

Data protection

| 9. | To the extent that any information provided pursuant to measures taken under points 3 to 8 involves the disclosure of personal data, it should be provided in accordance with national data protection laws, in particular those implementing Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (13). |
| --- | --- |

9.

Concept of work of equal value

| 10. | In line with the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, Member States should clarify the concept of ‘work of equal value’ in their legislation. The value of work should be assessed and compared based on objective criteria, such as educational, professional and training requirements, skills, effort and responsibility, work undertaken and the nature of tasks involved. |
| --- | --- |

10.

Job evaluation and classification systems

| 11. | Member States should promote the development and use of gender-neutral job evaluation and classification systems, including in their capacity as employers in the public sector, to prevent or identify and tackle possible pay discrimination based on gender-biased pay scales. They should specifically encourage employers and social partners to introduce gender-neutral job evaluation and classification systems. |
| --- | --- |

11.

| 12. | As regards gender-neutral job evaluation and classification systems, Member States are encouraged to draw inspiration from Annex 1 to the Commission Staff Working Document accompanying the Report on the application of Directive 2006/54/EC. |
| --- | --- |

12.

III.   HORIZONTAL PROVISIONS

Equality bodies

| 13. | Member States should ensure that their national equality bodies’ powers and mandates cover issues related to gender pay discrimination, including transparency obligations. Where applicable, Member States should give equality bodies the right to access the information and audits referred to in points 4 and 5 of this Recommendation. |
| --- | --- |

13.

| 14. | Member States should reduce procedural obstacles to the bringing of equal pay cases to court by enabling equality bodies to represent individuals in cases of pay discrimination. |
| --- | --- |

14.

| 15. | Member States should ensure closer cooperation and coordination between the national equality bodies and national bodies that have an inspection function in the labour market. |
| --- | --- |

| 16. | Member States should ensure the consistent monitoring of the implementation of the principle of equal pay and the enforcement of all available remedies for pay discrimination. |
| --- | --- |

16.

Awareness-raising activities

| 17. | Member States should raise awareness among public and private undertakings and organisations, social partners and the general public to promote equal pay, the principle of work of equal value and wage transparency, to tackle the causes of the gender pay gap, and devise tools to help analyse and assess pay inequalities. |
| --- | --- |

17.

IV.   FOLLOW-UP

| 18. | Member States should take the necessary measures to ensure the application of this Recommendation and are invited to notify the Commission of these measures by 31 December 2015, in order to enable the Commission to closely monitor the situation, to draw up a report on progress made in implementing this Recommendation and, on that basis, to assess the need for further measures. |
| --- | --- |

18.

V.   FINAL PROVISIONS

| 19. | This Recommendation is addressed to all Member States. It is also addressed to the social partners, in particular in the Member States where in accordance with the national law and practice, the social partners have a specific responsibility for implementing the principle of equal pay by concluding collective agreements. |
