concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive for minor poultry species other than ducks (holder of authorisation Danisco Animal Nutrition)

(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

| (2) | The use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2) and for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2) and for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3).

| (3) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) for minor poultry species other than ducks requesting that the additive be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |

The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support its requests.

| (5) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) focused its assessment on safety and efficacy for the new target species. The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 May 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, since safety of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) has been established in the major poultry species with a wide margin of safety, this conclusion can be extended to all poultry species requested. They stated that a similar conclusion on efficacy can be extrapolated from major poultry species to all minor poultry species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 5 November 2012

on the harmonisation of the frequency bands 1 920-1 980 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Union

(notified under document C(2012) 7697)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2012/688/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 14 December 1998, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision No 128/1999/EC on the coordinated introduction of a third-generation mobile and wireless communications system (UMTS) in the Community (2) (UMTS Decision) covering the frequency bands 1 900-1 980 MHz, 2 010-2 025 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz (‘the terrestrial 2 GHz band’). According to that Decision, Member States were to take all necessary actions in order to allow the coordinated and progressive introduction of the UMTS services on their territory by 1 January 2002 at the latest and in particular were to establish an authorisation system for UMTS by 1 January 2000 at the latest. This Decision expired on 22 January 2003, but the harmonisation of the spectrum has remained in place. |

This Decision expired on 22 January 2003, but the harmonisation of the spectrum has remained in place.

| (2) | The Commission has since then supported a more flexible use of spectrum in its Communication on ‘Rapid access to spectrum for wireless electronic communications services through more flexibility’ (3), which inter alia addresses the terrestrial 2 GHz band and aims to avoid disruption of the market. The principles of technological neutrality and service neutrality have been confirmed by Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (4). |

| (3) | The designation of the paired sub-bands 1 920-1 980 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz (‘the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band’) for systems capable of providing electronic communications services is an important element addressing the convergence of the mobile, fixed and broadcasting sectors and reflecting technical innovation. Systems deployed in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band should mainly target end-user access to broadband services. |

Systems deployed in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band should mainly target end-user access to broadband services.

| (4) | Users of wireless broadband services for which the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band is already used today in one Member State can also gain access to equivalent services in any other Member State. However, the unpaired sub-band 1 900-1 920 MHz, although licensed to operators in many Member States, remains largely unused, and the unpaired sub-band 2 010-2 025 MHz is licensed to operators just in few Member States and not used. |

| (5) | Pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, the Commission gave on 15 June 2009 a mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (the ‘CEPT’) to develop least restrictive technical conditions for frequency bands addressed in the context of the Wireless Access Policy for Electronic Communications Services (WAPECS). |

| (6) | In response to that mandate, the CEPT has issued a report (CEPT Report 39) containing least restrictive technical conditions and guidance for their application to base stations and terminal stations operating in the terrestrial 2 GHz band. In the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, these technical conditions are appropriate to manage the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks at national and cross-border level without imposing any particular type of technology and based on optimised parameters for the most likely use of the band. In the unpaired sub-bands 1 900-1 920 MHz and 2 010-2 025 MHz (‘the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band’) however, the technical conditions contained in CEPT Report 39 are more restrictive for the operation of mobile networks than stipulated in current existing national rights of use. |

| (7) | In accordance with CEPT Report 39 the concept of Block Edge Masks (BEM), which are technical parameters that apply to the entire block of spectrum of a specific user, irrespective of the number of channels occupied by the user’s chosen technology, would be appropriate. These masks are intended to form part of the authorisation conditions for spectrum usage. They cover both emissions within the block of spectrum (i.e. in-block power) as well as emissions outside the block (i.e. out-of-block emission). They are regulatory requirements aimed at managing the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks and are without prejudice to limits set in equipment standards under Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (5) (R&TTE Directive). |

| (8) | The technical conditions defined as a result of the mandate to CEPT also aim to protect existing applications in adjacent bands against harmful interference. For that purpose, compliance with the existing spectrum emission mask for UMTS should be ensured below 1 900 MHz, between 1 980 and 2 010 MHz, between 2 025 and 2 110 MHz and above 2 170 MHz. In so far as coexistence with another radio application is not addressed in CEPT Report 39 and the Electronic Communications Committee’s ERC Report 65, which the CEPT Report 39 uses as a basis, appropriate sharing criteria for coexistence could also be defined based on national considerations. |

| (10) | However, given the restrictive technical conditions on transmission power levels for the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band set out in CEPT Report 39 — in order to protect operations in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band and ensure coexistence of multiple TDD networks — as well as the limited overall bandwidth of the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the take-up of wireless broadband services under the current license conditions is obstructed. This situation requires studying alternative harmonisation measures for the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band and may entail modification of existing licences. In order not to prevent the early introduction of flexibility of use in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the separation of harmonisation measures for the paired and unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz bands becomes necessary. |

ANNEX

PARAMETERS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 2(1)

The technical conditions presented in this Annex are in the form of frequency arrangements and block-edge masks (BEMs). A BEM is an emission mask that is defined, as a function of frequency, relative to the edge of a block of spectrum for which rights of use are granted to an operator. It consists of in-block and out-of-block components which specify the permitted emission levels over frequencies inside and outside the licensed block of spectrum, respectively.

The BEM levels are built up by combining the values listed in the tables below in such a way that the limit at any frequency is given by the highest (least stringent) value of (a) the baseline requirements, (b) the transition requirements, and (c) the in-block requirements (where appropriate). The BEMs are presented as upper limits on the mean equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) or total radiated power (TRP) (1) over an averaging time interval, and over a measurement frequency bandwidth. In the time domain, the EIRP or TRP is averaged over the active portions of signal bursts and corresponds to a single power control setting. In the frequency domain, the EIRP or TRP is determined over the measurement bandwidth specified in point B(2), Tables 1, 2 and 3 (2). In general, and unless stated otherwise, the BEM levels correspond to the aggregate power radiated by the relevant device including all transmit antennas, except in the case of baseline and transition requirements for base stations, which are specified per antenna.

BEMs shall be applied as an essential component of the technical conditions necessary to ensure coexistence between services at national level. However, it should be understood that the derived BEMs do not always provide the required level of protection of victim services and additional mitigation techniques would need to be applied in a proportionate manner at national level in order to resolve any remaining cases of interference, also with respect to adjacent bands.

Member States shall also ensure that operators of terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services can use less stringent technical parameters than those set out below in points A, B and C provided that the use of these parameters is agreed among all affected parties and that these operators continue to comply with the technical conditions applicable for the protection of other services, applications or networks and with obligations resulting from cross-border coordination.

Equipment operating in this band may also make use of power limits other than those set out below provided that appropriate mitigation techniques are applied which comply with Directive 1999/5/EC and which offer at least an equivalent level of protection to that provided by these technical parameters.

A.   General parameters

Within the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the frequency arrangement shall be as follows:

| (1) | The duplex mode of operation shall be Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The duplex spacing shall be 190 MHz with terminal station transmission (FDD uplink) located in the lower part of the band starting at 1 920 MHz and finishing at 1 980 MHz and base station transmission (FDD downlink) located in the upper part of the band starting at 2 110 MHz and finishing at 2 170 MHz. |
| --- | --- |

The duplex mode of operation shall be Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The duplex spacing shall be 190 MHz with terminal station transmission (FDD uplink) located in the lower part of the band starting at 1 920 MHz and finishing at 1 980 MHz and base station transmission (FDD downlink) located in the upper part of the band starting at 2 110 MHz and finishing at 2 170 MHz.

| (2) | The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 920 MHz starts at 1 920,3 MHz or above (3).
  The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 980 MHz ends at 1 979,7 MHz or below (4).
  The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 110 MHz starts at 2 110,3 MHz or above (5).
  The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 170 MHz ends at 2 169,7 MHz or below (6). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 920 MHz starts at 1 920,3 MHz or above (3).

The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 980 MHz ends at 1 979,7 MHz or below (4).

The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 110 MHz starts at 2 110,3 MHz or above (5).

The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 170 MHz ends at 2 169,7 MHz or below (6).

Base station and terminal station transmission within the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band shall be in compliance with the BEMs in this Annex.

B.   Technical conditions for FDD base stations

(1)   In-block requirements

An in-block EIRP limit for base stations is not obligatory. However, Member States may set an EIRP limit of between 61 dBm/5 MHz and 65 dBm/5 MHz in the FDD downlink band, noting that this limit can be increased for specific deployments, e.g. in areas of low population density provided that this does not significantly increase the risk of terminal station receiver blocking.

Member States may relax the limit set out in Table 3 for specific deployments, e.g. fixed terminal stations in rural areas provided that protection of other services, networks and applications is not compromised and cross-border obligations are fulfilled.

(1)  TRP is a measure of how much power the antenna actually radiates. The TRP is defined as the integral of the power transmitted in different directions over the entire radiation sphere. EIRP and TRP are equivalent for isotropic antennas.

(2)  The actual measurement bandwidth of the measurement equipment used for purposes of compliance testing may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth provided in the tables.

(3)  Member States may decide to reduce this frequency to 1 920,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.

(4)  Member States may decide to increase this frequency to 1 980,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.

(5)  Member States may decide to reduce this frequency to 2 110,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.

(6)  Member States may decide to increase this frequency to 2 170,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.

(7)  The BEM level is defined per antenna and applicable to base station configuration with up to four antennas per sector.

(8)  The BEM level is defined per antenna and applicable to base station configuration with up to four antennas per sector.

(9)  This power limit is specified as EIRP for terminal stations designed to be fixed or installed and as TRP for terminal stations designed to be mobile or nomadic. EIRP and TRP are equivalent for isotropic antennas. It is recognised that this value may be subject to a tolerance defined in the harmonised standards to take account of operation under extreme environmental conditions and production spread.

(10)  For the determination of out of band emissions of terminals in CEPT Report 39 the maximum conducted transmit power of 23 dBm has been used as a reference.

GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 26 September 2012

on the data quality management framework for the Centralised Securities Database

(ECB/2012/21)

(2012/689/EU)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | The Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) is a single information technology infrastructure, which is operated jointly by the members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), including national central banks (NCBs) of non-euro area Member States where such NCBs voluntarily participate in the operation of the CSDB. The CSDB stores item-by-item data, in particular, data on securities, their issuers and prices. |

The CSDB stores item-by-item data, in particular, data on securities, their issuers and prices.

| (2) | Data are collected from various sources, including from ESCB members, certain commercial data providers, the public domain and administrative sources, and transmitted to the CSDB. There is a risk, however, that such input data may be inaccurate or incomplete. The CSDB system is able to reconcile partially inconsistent input data from different sources, and can detect incomplete or missing data. It automatically compounds input data from various overlapping sources to the extent possible into a complete and high quality single record. |

To ensure the completeness, accuracy and consistency of output data, to the extent possible, it is necessary to define a framework for data quality management (DQM) to be applied to output feed data, a subset of output data that can be used to support the production of statistics or other uses. Output feed data is provided to NCBs no later than seven working days following the end of each calendar month. |

| (8) | Since the CSDB is operated jointly by all ESCB members, they should all aim to follow the same DQM standards. Moreover, non-euro area NCBs are in the best position to carry out DQM on the data related to issuers residing in their respective Member States. While it is recognised that guidelines adopted by the ECB may not impose any obligations on non-euro area NCBs, Article 5 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank applies to both euro area and non-euro area NCBs. Non-euro area NCBs should therefore design and implement all the measures that they consider appropriate in order to carry out DQM in accordance with this Guideline. |

Target 3a:

Data accuracy – support correct sector allocation and data extraction by issuer

Conceptual background:

| | The CSDB links issuer and instrument information on a relational basis which can be described as ‘one to many’, i.e. one issuer can be related to many instruments, while each instrument is related to only one issuer. This instrument-issuer link is made via individual issuer identifiers provided by the different input data providers. These identifiers differ between the data providers as there is, so far, no common standard but they should be consistent. |

This instrument-issuer link is made via individual issuer identifiers provided by the different input data providers. These identifiers differ between the data providers as there is, so far, no common standard but they should be consistent.

| | If input data providers provide inconsistent (clashing) issuer identifiers for the same instrument, i.e. if they disagree on the issuer, the instrument cannot be allocated to a definite issuer and ends up in a ‘clash group’. Clash groups can still be classified correctly by country and sector but there is no consistent link to the relevant issuer of the instrument. |
| --- | --- |

If input data providers provide inconsistent (clashing) issuer identifiers for the same instrument, i.e. if they disagree on the issuer, the instrument cannot be allocated to a definite issuer and ends up in a ‘clash group’. Clash groups can still be classified correctly by country and sector but there is no consistent link to the relevant issuer of the instrument.

| | Instruments in clash groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer. |
| --- | --- |

Instruments in clash groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer.

| | Instruments in clash groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector. |
| --- | --- |

Instruments in clash groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector.

Concept:

For each country of residence the metric shall identify the instruments in clash groups and shall relate them as a percentage share in terms of counts or in terms of monetary amounts to all instruments for that country.

Coverage:

The metric shall cover all instruments in the CSDB.

Target 3a assesses the correct identification of the issuer population.

Where there is a disagreement on the issuer of an instrument, i.e. instruments in ‘clash groups’, such instruments shall not exceed the DQM threshold.

Explicit attributes: Issuer identifier used for grouping.

Amounts outstanding in euro referring to instruments in clash groups, expressed as a percentage share of all instruments.

Target 3b:

Data accuracy – support correct sector allocation and data extraction by issuer

Conceptual background:

| | The CSDB links issuer and instrument information on a relational basis which may be described as ‘one to many’, i.e. one issuer can be related to many instruments while each instrument is related to only one issuer. This instrument-issuer link is made via individual issuer identifiers which are provided by the different input data providers.

These identifiers differ between the data providers as there is, so far, no common standard but they should be consistent.

| | If no data provider provides an issuer identifier for a given instrument, there is a risk that this instrument will not be allocated to a definite issuer and will end up in a ‘stand-alone group’ consisting only of this instrument. Stand-alone groups may still be classified correctly by country and sector but there is no consistent link to the relevant issuer of the instrument. |

| | Instruments in stand-alone groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer. |
| --- | --- |

Instruments in stand-alone groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer.

| | Instruments in stand-alone groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector, given that they are often provided with incomplete information. |
| --- | --- |

Instruments in stand-alone groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector, given that they are often provided with incomplete information.

Concept:

For each country of residence the metric shall identify the instruments in stand-alone groups and shall relate them as a percentage share in terms of counts or in terms of monetary amounts to all instruments for that country.

Coverage:

The metric shall cover all instruments in the CSDB.

Target 3b assesses the correct identification of the issuer population.

Where there is no reliable information on the issuer of an instrument, i.e. instruments in ‘stand-alone groups’, such instruments shall not exceed the DQM threshold.

Explicit attributes: Issuer identifier used for grouping.

Amounts outstanding in euro referring to instruments in stand-alone groups, expressed as a percentage share of all instruments.

Target 4:

Data accuracy – amount outstanding of debt securities including certificates

Concept:

| | The metric shall aggregate amounts outstanding for debt securities including certificates by the country of residence of each issuer and by issuer sector pursuant to the concept of securities issues statistics (SEC). |
| --- | --- |

The metric shall aggregate amounts outstanding for debt securities including certificates by the country of residence of each issuer and by issuer sector pursuant to the concept of securities issues statistics (SEC).

| --- | --- |

This aggregate shall be compared to the respective SEC figure and the percentage deviation of the CSDB data shall be calculated.

| | Unverified and unexplained differences shall not exceed the DQM threshold. |
| --- | --- |

Unverified and unexplained differences shall not exceed the DQM threshold.

Target 4 compares CSDB output data to external benchmark data.

Unverified and unexplained differences between aggregated CSDB data and the respective information from ECB SEC or other reliable benchmarks shall, subject to the availability of such benchmark data, not exceed the DQM threshold for the same reference date for each of the following ESA issuer sectors:
