REGULATION (EU) 2021/1119 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 30 June 2021

establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinions of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | The existential threat posed by climate change requires enhanced ambition and increased climate action by the Union and the Member States. The Union is committed to stepping up efforts to tackle climate change and to delivering on the implementation of the Paris Agreement adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the ‘Paris Agreement’) (4), guided by its principles and on the basis of the best available scientific knowledge, in the context of the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. |

The Union is committed to stepping up efforts to tackle climate change and to delivering on the implementation of the Paris Agreement adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the ‘Paris Agreement’) (4), guided by its principles and on the basis of the best available scientific knowledge, in the context of the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement.

| (2) | The Commission has, in its communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’ (the ‘European Green Deal’), set out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. The European Green Deal also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. |

The European Green Deal also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.

| (3) | The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides in its 2018 Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty, a strong scientific basis for tackling climate change and illustrates the need to rapidly step up climate action and to continue the transition to a climate-neutral economy. That report confirms that greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced, and that climate change needs to be limited to 1,5 °C, in particular to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events and of reaching tipping points. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has shown in its 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services a worldwide erosion of biodiversity, with climate change as the third most important driver of biodiversity loss. |

| (5) | It is necessary to address the growing climate-related risks to health, including more frequent and intense heatwaves, wildfires and floods, food and water safety and security threats, and the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. As announced in its communication of 24 February 2021 entitled ‘Forging a climate-resilient Europe – the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change’, the Commission has launched a European climate and health observatory under the European Climate Adaptation Platform Climate-ADAPT, to better understand, anticipate and minimise the health threats caused by climate change. |

| (6) | This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular Article 37 thereof which seeks to promote the integration into the policies of the Union of a high level of environmental protection and the improvement of the quality of the environment in accordance with the principle of sustainable development. |

| (7) | Climate action should be an opportunity for all sectors of the economy in the Union to help secure industry leadership in global innovation. Driven by the Union’s regulatory framework and efforts made by industry, it is possible to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions. For example, Union greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 24 % between 1990 and 2019, while the economy grew by 60 % over the same period. Without prejudice to binding legislation and other initiatives adopted at Union level, all sectors of the economy – including energy, industry, transport, heating and cooling and buildings, agriculture, waste and land use, land-use change and forestry, irrespective of whether those sectors are covered by the system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union (‘EU ETS’) – should play a role in contributing to the achievement of climate neutrality within the Union by 2050. In order to enhance involvement of all economic actors, the Commission should facilitate sector-specific climate dialogues and partnerships by bringing together key stakeholders in an inclusive and representative manner, so as to encourage sectors themselves to draw up indicative voluntary roadmaps and to plan their transition towards achieving the Union’s climate-neutrality objective by 2050. Such roadmaps could make a valuable contribution in assisting sectors in planning the necessary investments towards the transition to a climate-neutral economy and could also serve to strengthen sectoral engagement in the pursuit of climate-neutral solutions. Such roadmaps could also complement existing initiatives, including the European Battery Alliance and the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, which foster industrial collaboration in the transition to climate neutrality. |

| (8) | The Paris Agreement sets out a long-term temperature goal in point (a) of Article 2(1) thereof, and aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change as set out in point (b) of Article 2(1) thereof and by making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development as set out in point (c) of Article 2(1) thereof. As the overall framework for the Union’s contribution to the Paris Agreement, this Regulation should ensure that both the Union and the Member States contribute to the global response to climate change as referred to in the Paris Agreement. |

| (9) | The Union’s and Member States’ climate action aims to protect people and the planet, welfare, prosperity, the economy, health, food systems, the integrity of eco-systems and biodiversity against the threat of climate change, in the context of the United Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development and in pursuit of the objectives of the Paris Agreement, and to maximise prosperity within the planetary boundaries and to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of society to climate change. In light of this, the Union’s and Member States’ actions should be guided by the precautionary and ‘polluter pays’ principles established in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and should also take into account the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle of the Energy Union and the ‘do no harm’ principle of the European Green Deal. |

Achieving climate neutrality should require a contribution from all economic sectors for which emissions or removals of greenhouse gases are regulated in Union law.

| (11) | In light of the importance of energy production and consumption for the level of greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential to ensure a transition to a safe, sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on the deployment of renewables, a well-functioning internal energy market and the improvement of energy efficiency, while reducing energy poverty. Digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective. |

| (12) | The Union has in place a regulatory framework to achieve the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target agreed in 2014, before the entry into force of the Paris Agreement. The legislation implementing that target consists, inter alia, of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), which establishes the EU ETS, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), which requires Member States to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry. |

| (18) | The risk of carbon leakage remains in respect of those international partners that do not share the same standards of climate protection as those of the Union. The Commission therefore intends to propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism for selected sectors, to reduce such risks in a way which is compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization. Furthermore, it is important to maintain effective policy incentives in support of technological solutions and innovations which enable the transition to a competitive climate-neutral Union economy, while providing investment certainty. |

| (19) | The European Parliament called, in its resolution of 15 January 2020 on the European Green Deal, for the necessary transition to a climate-neutral society by 2050 at the latest and for this to be made into a European success story and has, in its resolution of 28 November 2019 on the climate and environment emergency, declared a climate and environment emergency. It has also repeatedly called on the Union to increase its 2030 climate target, and for that increased target to be part of this Regulation. The European Council, in its conclusions of 12 December 2019, has agreed on the objective of achieving a climate-neutral Union by 2050, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, while also recognising that it is necessary to put in place an enabling framework that benefits all Member States and encompasses adequate instruments, incentives, support and investments to ensure a cost-efficient, just, as well as socially balanced and fair transition, taking into account different national circumstances in terms of starting points. It also noted that the transition will require significant public and private investment. On 6 March 2020, the Union submitted its long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategy and, on 17 December 2020, its nationally determined contribution, to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), following their approval by the Council. |

| (20) | The Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy-wide emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050 and, as appropriate, achieve negative emissions thereafter. That objective should encompass Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals regulated in Union law. It should be possible to address such emissions and removals in the context of the review of the relevant climate and energy legislation. Sinks include natural and technological solutions, as reported in the Union’s greenhouse gas inventories to the UNFCCC. Solutions that are based on carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and use (CCU) technologies can play a role in decarbonisation, especially for the mitigation of process emissions in industry, for the Member States that choose this technology. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective. |

Article 1

Subject matter and scope

This Regulation establishes a framework for the irreversible and gradual reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and enhancement of removals by sinks regulated in Union law.

This Regulation sets out a binding objective of climate neutrality in the Union by 2050 in pursuit of the long-term temperature goal set out in point (a) of Article 2(1) of the Paris Agreement, and provides a framework for achieving progress in pursuit of the global adaptation goal established in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement. This Regulation also sets out a binding Union target of a net domestic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for 2030.

This Regulation applies to anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of the greenhouse gases listed in Part 2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.

Article 2

Climate-neutrality objective

1.   Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals regulated in Union law shall be balanced within the Union at the latest by 2050, thus reducing emissions to net zero by that date, and the Union shall aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter.

2.   The relevant Union institutions and the Member States shall take the necessary measures at Union and national level, respectively, to enable the collective achievement of the climate-neutrality objective set out in paragraph 1, taking into account the importance of promoting both fairness and solidarity among Member States and cost-effectiveness in achieving this objective.

Article 3

Article 4

Intermediate Union climate targets

1.   In order to reach the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1), the binding Union 2030 climate target shall be a domestic reduction of net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) by at least 55 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030.

When implementing the target referred to in the first subparagraph, the relevant Union institutions and the Member States shall prioritise swift and predictable emission reductions and, at the same time, enhance removals by natural sinks.

In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed up to 2030, for the purpose of this Regulation and without prejudice to the review of Union legislation referred to in paragraph 2, the contribution of net removals to the Union 2030 climate target shall be limited to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. In order to enhance the Union’s carbon sink in line with the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, the Union shall aim to achieve a higher volume of its net carbon sink in 2030.

2.   By 30 June 2021, the Commission shall review relevant Union legislation in order to enable the achievement of the target set out in paragraph 1 of this Article and the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1) and consider taking the necessary measures, including the adoption of legislative proposals, in accordance with the Treaties.

Within the framework of the review referred to in the first subparagraph and future reviews, the Commission shall assess in particular the availability under Union law of adequate instruments and incentives to mobilise the investments needed, and propose measures as necessary.

From the adoption of the legislative proposals by the Commission, it shall monitor the legislative procedures for the different proposals and may report to the European Parliament and to the Council on whether the foreseen outcome of those legislative procedures, considered together, would achieve the target set out in paragraph 1. If the foreseen outcome would not deliver a result in line with the target set out in paragraph 1, the Commission may take the necessary measures, including the adoption of legislative proposals, in accordance with the Treaties.

3.   With a view to achieving the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1) of this Regulation, a Union-wide climate target for 2040 shall be set. To that end, at the latest within six months of the first global stocktake referred to in Article 14 of the Paris Agreement, the Commission shall make a legislative proposal, as appropriate, based on a detailed impact assessment, to amend this Regulation to include the Union 2040 climate target, taking into account the conclusions of the assessments referred to in Articles 6 and 7 of this Regulation and the outcomes of the global stocktake.

4.   When making its legislative proposal for the Union 2040 climate target as referred to in paragraph 3, the Commission shall, at the same time, publish in a separate report the projected indicative Union greenhouse gas budget for the 2030-2050 period, defined as the indicative total volume of net greenhouse gas emissions (expressed as CO2 equivalent and providing separate information on emissions and removals) that are expected to be emitted in that period without putting at risk the Union’s commitments under the Paris Agreement. The projected indicative Union greenhouse gas budget shall be based on the best available science, take into account the advice of the Advisory Board as well as, where adopted, the relevant Union legislation implementing the Union 2030 climate target. The Commission shall also publish the methodology underlying the projected indicative Union greenhouse gas budget.

5.   When proposing the Union 2040 climate target in accordance with paragraph 3, the Commission shall consider the following:

All regional fishery management organisations provide for the establishment and regular up-date of IUU vessel lists in accordance with their respective rules (12).

| (5) | According to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, upon the receipt from regional fisheries management organisations of the lists of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in IUU fishing, the Commission is to update the Union list. Since the Commission has received new lists from the regional fisheries management organisations, the Union list should now be updated. |

(5)

According to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, upon the receipt from regional fisheries management organisations of the lists of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in IUU fishing, the Commission is to update the Union list. Since the Commission has received new lists from the regional fisheries management organisations, the Union list should now be updated.

| (6) | Considering that the same vessel might be listed under different names and/or flags depending on the time of its inclusion on the regional fisheries management organisations lists, the updated Union list should include the different names and/or flags as established by the relevant regional fisheries management organisations. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Considering that the same vessel might be listed under different names and/or flags depending on the time of its inclusion on the regional fisheries management organisations lists, the updated Union list should include the different names and/or flags as established by the relevant regional fisheries management organisations.

As the decision was taken by the relevant regional fisheries management organisation under the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, this vessel should accordingly be removed from the Union list, despite the fact that it has not yet been deleted from the list established by the Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (‘SIOFA’), the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (‘IOTC’) and the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (‘NEAFC’). |
| --- | --- |

| (8) | The vessel ‘Uthaiwan/Wisdom Sea reefer’ (14) which is currently included in the Union list, has been removed from the list established by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (‘IOTC’) in line with Resolution 18/03 of that regional fisheries management organisation. As the decision was taken by the relevant regional fisheries management organisation under the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, this vessel should accordingly be removed from the Union list, despite the fact that it has not yet been deleted from the list established by the Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (‘SIOFA’). |

| (9) | The vessel ‘Nefelin’ (15) has been removed from the list established by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (‘GFCM’), in line with Recommendation GFCM/33/209/8 of that regional fisheries management organisation. This vessel should thus not be included in the Union list despite the fact that it has not yet been deleted from the list established by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (‘ICCAT’) and the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (‘IOTC’). |

| (10) | The vessel referred to in recital 9 was not included in the Union list amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1883 as the list of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in IUU fishing adopted by the relevant regional fisheries management organisation was received by the Commission after adoption of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(10)

The vessel referred to in recital 9 was not included in the Union list amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1883 as the list of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in IUU fishing adopted by the relevant regional fisheries management organisation was received by the Commission after adoption of that Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1122

of 8 July 2021

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368 adding the Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate to and removing the London Interbank Offered Rate from the list of critical benchmarks used in financial markets established pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (1), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Benchmarks can be recognised as critical in accordance with Article 20(1), point (a), point (b) or point (c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011. Article 20(1), point (b) requires that benchmarks, for such benchmarks to be recognised as critical benchmarks, are based on input data submitted by contributors the majority of which are located in one Member State and are recognised as being critical in that Member State. On 11 August 2016, the Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368 (2), which established a list of critical benchmarks. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Benchmarks can be recognised as critical in accordance with Article 20(1), point (a), point (b) or point (c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011. Article 20(1), point (b) requires that benchmarks, for such benchmarks to be recognised as critical benchmarks, are based on input data submitted by contributors the majority of which are located in one Member State and are recognised as being critical in that Member State. On 11 August 2016, the Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368 (2), which established a list of critical benchmarks.

| (2) | Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 is applicable in the European Economic Area (EEA) and was implemented in Norwegian legislation on 6 December 2019. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 is applicable in the European Economic Area (EEA) and was implemented in Norwegian legislation on 6 December 2019.

| (3) | On 3 December 2020, the Norwegian competent authority, the Finanstilsynet, notified the European Securities and Markets Authority (‘ESMA’) of its proposal to recognise the Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (‘NIBOR’) as a critical benchmark under Article 20(1), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, because the NIBOR is critical in Norway and is based on submissions of contributors, all of which are located in Norway. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

On 3 December 2020, the Norwegian competent authority, the Finanstilsynet, notified the European Securities and Markets Authority (‘ESMA’) of its proposal to recognise the Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (‘NIBOR’) as a critical benchmark under Article 20(1), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, because the NIBOR is critical in Norway and is based on submissions of contributors, all of which are located in Norway.

| (4) | NIBOR is a reference rate based on an average of the interest rates at which banks operating in the Norwegian money market are willing to lend unsecured funds to each other at different maturities. NIBOR is determined on a daily basis for five different maturities: one week and one, two, three, and six months. As of 3 December 2020, six banks participate in the NIBOR panel, all of which are located in Norway. |

As of 3 December 2020, six banks participate in the NIBOR panel, all of which are located in Norway.

| (5) | In its assessment submitted to ESMA, the Finanstilsynet concluded that the cessation of NIBOR, or its provision on the basis of input data that are, or of a panel of contributors that is, no longer representative of the underlying market or economic reality, could have a significant adverse impact on the functioning of financial markets in Norway. |

In its assessment submitted to ESMA, the Finanstilsynet concluded that the cessation of NIBOR, or its provision on the basis of input data that are, or of a panel of contributors that is, no longer representative of the underlying market or economic reality, could have a significant adverse impact on the functioning of financial markets in Norway.

| (6) | The assessment by the Finanstilsynet illustrates that NIBOR is used as a reference in loans to households and non-financial institutions amounting to approximately EUR 418 billion, which corresponds to 94 % of the total of loans granted in Norway to households and non-financial institutions, and to 136 % of Norway’s gross domestic product (GDP). In addition, NIBOR serves as a reference for the coupon payments for around 60 % of the total nominal value of variable rate bonds in Norway, for a total amount of around EUR 130 billion. The Finanstilsynet, based on data from a single central counterparty, also evidenced that NIBOR is used as a reference in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate derivatives for an outstanding notional amount of at least EUR 1988 billion as of October 2020. Finally, Finanstilsynet indicated that NIBOR is currently referenced in investment funds with a total net asset value of EUR 0,3 billion. The total value of financial instruments and financial contracts referencing NIBOR is therefore at least eight times higher than the gross national product of Norway. |

The total value of financial instruments and financial contracts referencing NIBOR is therefore at least eight times higher than the gross national product of Norway.

| (7) | The assessment by the Finanstilsynet concluded that NIBOR is of vital importance for financial stability and market integrity in Norway, and that NIBOR’s discontinuity or unreliability could have a significant adverse impact on the functioning of financial markets in Norway and on companies and consumers as it is used in loans, consumer credit products, OTC interest rate derivatives and investment funds. |

| (8) | On 28 January 2021, ESMA transmitted to the Commission its opinion setting out that the assessment by the Finanstilsynet complies with the requirements of Article 20(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 and that the Finanstilsynet had provided quantitative data to support the case for the recognition of NIBOR as a critical benchmark, as well as analytical reasoning highlighting the crucial role of NIBOR in the Norwegian economy. |

| (9) | According to Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, the Commission is required to review the list of critical benchmarks at least every two years, and those benchmarks are to be provided by administrators located in the Union. On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom left the Union. Benchmarks provided by an administrator located in the United Kingdom can therefore no longer qualify as critical benchmarks and should be removed from the list of critical benchmarks in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) was qualified as a critical benchmark on 19 December 2017, LIBOR should therefore be removed from the list of critical benchmarks in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368. |

| (10) | Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/2175 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), inter alia to appoint ESMA as the competent authority for administrators of critical benchmarks as referred to in Article 20(1), points (a) and (c), of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as of 1 January 2022. However, the competence for administrators of critical benchmarks as referred to in Article 20(1), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 will remain with the relevant national competent authority. It is therefore appropriate that the list of critical benchmarks established by the Commission distinguishes between critical benchmarks referred to in Article 20(1). points (a) and (c), of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 and those referred to in Article 20(1), point (b), of that Regulation. |

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1368 should therefore be amended accordingly.

In light of the crucial importance of NIBOR, its widespread use and its role in the allocation of capital in Norway, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2021/1125

of 8 July 2021

refusing to include the medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate in the list of medicinal products that shall not bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (1), and in particular Article 54a(4) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 of 2 October 2015 supplementing Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council by laying down detailed rules for the safety features appearing on the packaging of medicinal products for human use (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 54a(1) of Directive 2001/83/EC provides that medical products subject to prescription are to bear safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of that Directive, unless they have been listed in accordance with the procedure pursuant to Article 54a(2), point b, of that Directive. Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 sets out a list of medicinal products or product categories subject to prescription that shall not bear the safety features, based on the risk of and the risk arising from falsification relating to medicinal products or categories of medicinal products. The medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate is not included in that list. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 54a(1) of Directive 2001/83/EC provides that medical products subject to prescription are to bear safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of that Directive, unless they have been listed in accordance with the procedure pursuant to Article 54a(2), point b, of that Directive. Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 sets out a list of medicinal products or product categories subject to prescription that shall not bear the safety features, based on the risk of and the risk arising from falsification relating to medicinal products or categories of medicinal products. The medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate is not included in that list.

| (2) | On 15 February 2019, the German competent authority, in accordance with Article 54a(4) of Directive 2001/83/EC and Article 46(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161, informed the Commission by email that they do not deem the medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate to be at risk of falsification according to the criteria set out in Article 54a(2), point b, of Directive 2001/83/EC. The German competent authority considered that Zinc-D-gluconate should therefore be exempted from the requirement to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

On 15 February 2019, the German competent authority, in accordance with Article 54a(4) of Directive 2001/83/EC and Article 46(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161, informed the Commission by email that they do not deem the medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate to be at risk of falsification according to the criteria set out in Article 54a(2), point b, of Directive 2001/83/EC. The German competent authority considered that Zinc-D-gluconate should therefore be exempted from the requirement to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC.

| (3) | The Commission assessed the risk of and the risk arising from falsification relating to the medicinal product concerned, taking into account the criteria listed in Article 54a(2), point (b), of Directive 2001/83/EC. As the medicinal product is authorised for the treatment of severe conditions such as Wilson's disease and Acrodermatitis enteropathica disorder, the Commission assessed, in particular, the severity of the conditions intended to be treated, referred to in Article 54a(2), point (b), subpoint (iv), of that Directive and found that the risks from falsification were not negligible. Therefore, the criteria were not considered to be met. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The Commission assessed the risk of and the risk arising from falsification relating to the medicinal product concerned, taking into account the criteria listed in Article 54a(2), point (b), of Directive 2001/83/EC.

Therefore, the criteria were not considered to be met.

| (4) | It is, therefore, not appropriate to include the medicinal product Zinc-D-gluconate in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 and it should not be exempted from the requirement to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

It is, therefore, not appropriate to include the medicinal product Zinc-D-gluconate in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 and it should not be exempted from the requirement to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC.

| (5) | The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the assessment of the European Commission Expert Group ‘Delegated act on safety features for medicinal products for human use’, |

Article 1

The medicinal product subject to prescription Zinc-D-gluconate shall not be included in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 and shall not be exempted from the requirement to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of Directive 2001/83/EC.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2021/1126

of 8 July 2021

establishing the equivalence of COVID-19 certificates issued by Switzerland to the certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/953 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/953 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2021 on a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (EU Digital COVID Certificate) to facilitate free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic (1), and in particular Article 3(10) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) 2021/953 lays down a framework for the issuance, verification and acceptance of interoperable COVID-19 vaccination, test and recovery certificates (‘EU Digital COVID Certificate’) for the purpose of facilitating the holders’ exercise of their right to free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also to contribute to facilitating the gradual lifting of restrictions to free movement put in place by Member States, in accordance with Union law, to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, in a coordinated manner. |

It is also to contribute to facilitating the gradual lifting of restrictions to free movement put in place by Member States, in accordance with Union law, to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, in a coordinated manner.

| (2) | Union citizens and Swiss nationals enjoy reciprocal rights of entry and residence based on the Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other, on the free movement of persons (2) (the ‘FMOPA’). While the FMOPA does provide, in Article 5(1) of its Annex I, for the possibility to restrict free movement for public health reasons, it does not contain a mechanism of incorporation of Union acts. Switzerland is thus covered by the empowerment in Article 3(10) of Regulation (EU) 2021/953. |

Switzerland may also accept, for the same purpose, vaccination certificates issued by Member States in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/953 for a COVID-19 vaccine that has been granted a marketing authorisation by the competent authority of an Member State pursuant to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), a COVID-19 vaccine the distribution of which has been temporarily authorised pursuant to Article 5(2) of that Directive, or a COVID-19 vaccine that has completed the WHO emergency use listing procedure. Where Switzerland accepts vaccination certificates for such a COVID-19 vaccine, it will also accept, under the same conditions, vaccination certificates issued by Member States in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/953 for the same COVID-19 vaccine.
