COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/895

of 2 February 2015

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund as regards transitional provisions

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 129(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 129 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 provides for the possibility to establish the conditions under which support approved by the Commission under Council Regulations (EC) No 861/2006 (2), (EC) No 1198/2006 (3) and (EC) No 791/2007 (4) and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) may be integrated into support provided for under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, including for technical assistance and for the ex post evaluations. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 129 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 provides for the possibility to establish the conditions under which support approved by the Commission under Council Regulations (EC) No 861/2006 (2), (EC) No 1198/2006 (3) and (EC) No 791/2007 (4) and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) may be integrated into support provided for under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, including for technical assistance and for the ex post evaluations.

| (2) | Provisions for the transition from support under Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 to support under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 should be adopted. The ex post evaluation of the programmes funded under the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) will provide key information to support the strategic report for the coming programming period, as referred to in Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). This information will also feed into the impact assessment which will help prepare the new regulatory framework for the ESI Funds in the post-2020 period. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Provisions for the transition from support under Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 to support under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 should be adopted. The ex post evaluation of the programmes funded under the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) will provide key information to support the strategic report for the coming programming period, as referred to in Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). This information will also feed into the impact assessment which will help prepare the new regulatory framework for the ESI Funds in the post-2020 period.

| (3) | In light of the above, this Regulation should adjust the dates for the completion of the ex post evaluation of the programmes to take account of the fact that the deadline set in Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 is not compatible with a comprehensive ex post evaluation exercise, since it will not be possible for an evaluator to examine the impact of the programmes in relation to the objectives when commitments and payments are still ongoing. Indeed, in accordance with Article 55(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006, the period of eligibility of expenditure under the EFF lasts until 31 December 2015, and therefore payments by and to beneficiaries in accordance with Article 55(1) and (7) of that Regulation can be made until that date. Furthermore, the last application for payment can be sent by the Member States to the Commission until 31 March 2017, in accordance with Article 86(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006. |

Furthermore, the last application for payment can be sent by the Member States to the Commission until 31 March 2017, in accordance with Article 86(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006.

| (4) | This Regulation should also clarify that it is not necessary for Member States to provide to the Commission the annual report referred to in Article 67 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 by 30 June 2016 since the information contained in that report will not arrive in time for its inclusion in the ex post evaluation report referred to in Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006. Once sent to the Commission by Member States in June 2016, that report will need to be approved before being examined and integrated in the ex post evaluation by 31 December 2016. Furthermore, that information will be included in the final report referred to in that Article, |

This Regulation should also clarify that it is not necessary for Member States to provide to the Commission the annual report referred to in Article 67 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 by 30 June 2016 since the information contained in that report will not arrive in time for its inclusion in the ex post evaluation report referred to in Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006.

of 11 June 2015

amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for Trichoderma polysporum strain IMI 206039, Trichoderma asperellum (formerly T. harzianum) strains ICC012, T25 and TV1, Trichoderma atroviride (formerly T. harzianum) strains IMI 206040 and T11, Trichoderma harzianum strains T-22 and ITEM 908, Trichoderma gamsii (formerly T. viride) strain ICC080, Trichoderma asperellum (strain T34), Trichoderma atroviride strain I-1237, geraniol, thymol, sucrose, ferric sulphate (iron (III) sulphate), ferrous sulphate (iron (II) sulphate) and folic acid in or on certain products

(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | For Trichoderma polysporum strain IMI 206039, Trichoderma asperellum (formerly T. harzianum) strains ICC012, T25 and TV1, Trichoderma atroviride (formerly T. harzianum) strains IMI 206040 and T11, Trichoderma harzianum strains T-22 and ITEM 908, Trichoderma gamsii (formerly T. viride) strain ICC080, Trichoderma asperellum (strain T34), Trichoderma atroviride strain I-1237, sucrose, geraniol and thymol, no specific MRLs were set nor were the substances included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of that Regulation applies. Ferric sulphate (iron (III) sulphate), ferrous sulphate (iron (II) sulphate) and folic acid are included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For Trichoderma polysporum strain IMI 206039, Trichoderma asperellum (formerly T. harzianum) strains ICC012, T25 and TV1, Trichoderma atroviride (formerly T. harzianum) strains IMI 206040 and T11, Trichoderma harzianum strains T-22 and ITEM 908, Trichoderma gamsii (formerly T. viride) strain ICC080, Trichoderma asperellum (strain T34), Trichoderma atroviride strain I-1237, sucrose, geraniol and thymol, no specific MRLs were set nor were the substances included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of that Regulation applies. Ferric sulphate (iron (III) sulphate), ferrous sulphate (iron (II) sulphate) and folic acid are included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

| (2) | As regards Trichoderma polysporum strain IMI 206039 (2), Trichoderma asperellum (formerly T. harzianum) strains ICC012, T25 and TV1 (3)
  , Trichoderma atroviride (formerly T. harzianum) strains IMI 206040 and T11 (4), Trichoderma harzianum strains T-22 and ITEM 908 (5), Trichoderma gamsii (formerly T. viride) strain ICC080 (6), Trichoderma asperellum (strain T34) (7) and Trichoderma atroviride strain I-1237 (8) the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was necessary. Such further consideration was reflected in the corresponding review reports (9) which concluded that these substances are not pathogenic to humans and are not expected to produce toxins that are relevant for human health. In view of those conclusions, the Commission considers that the inclusion of such substances in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate. |

(2)

As regards Trichoderma polysporum strain IMI 206039 (2), Trichoderma asperellum (formerly T. harzianum) strains ICC012, T25 and TV1 (3)
  , Trichoderma atroviride (formerly T. harzianum) strains IMI 206040 and T11 (4), Trichoderma harzianum strains T-22 and ITEM 908 (5), Trichoderma gamsii (formerly T. viride) strain ICC080 (6), Trichoderma asperellum (strain T34) (7) and Trichoderma atroviride strain I-1237 (8) the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was necessary. Such further consideration was reflected in the corresponding review reports (9) which concluded that these substances are not pathogenic to humans and are not expected to produce toxins that are relevant for human health. In view of those conclusions, the Commission considers that the inclusion of such substances in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate.

| (3) | For thymol (10), the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 568/2013 (11) the substance was approved subject to the submission of confirmatory information. Thymol is naturally occurring in plants. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to include this substance temporarily in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 pending submission of the reasoned opinion of the Authority in accordance with Article 12(1). |
| --- | --- |

For thymol (10), the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 568/2013 (11) the substance was approved subject to the submission of confirmatory information. Thymol is naturally occurring in plants. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to include this substance temporarily in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 pending submission of the reasoned opinion of the Authority in accordance with Article 12(1).

| (4) | For geraniol (12), the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 570/2013 (13) the substance was approved subject to the submission of confirmatory information. Geraniol is naturally occurring in plants. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to include this substance temporarily in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 pending submission of the reasoned opinion of the Authority in accordance with Article 12(1). |

For geraniol (12), the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 570/2013 (13) the substance was approved subject to the submission of confirmatory information. Geraniol is naturally occurring in plants. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to include this substance temporarily in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 pending submission of the reasoned opinion of the Authority in accordance with Article 12(1).

| (5) | Sucrose is approved as basic substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (14). In view of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 916/2014 (15), the Commission considers that the inclusion of such substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate. |

Sucrose is approved as basic substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (14). In view of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 916/2014 (15), the Commission considers that the inclusion of such substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is appropriate.

| (6) | Ferric sulphate (iron (III) sulphate) is not an active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Therefore, this substance does not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to delete this substance from Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |

Ferric sulphate (iron (III) sulphate) is not an active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Therefore, this substance does not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. In view of this, it is considered appropriate to delete this substance from Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

| (7) | Commission Decision 2007/442/EC (16) provided for a non-inclusion of folic acid in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (17). Since Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 therefore does not apply to folic acid, it is appropriate to delete after the entry for folic acid the footnote 1 referring to that provision. |

Commission Decision 2007/442/EC (16) provided for a non-inclusion of folic acid in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (17). Since Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 therefore does not apply to folic acid, it is appropriate to delete after the entry for folic acid the footnote 1 referring to that provision.

| (8) | Ferrous sulphate (iron II sulphate) and folic acid are food supplements under Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (18). Other substances listed in Annex IV are food additives or flavourings. In view of this, it is appropriate to modify the wording of footnote 2 to refer more broadly to other specific food and feed legislation. |

(2)

Thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, three applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate as feed additives for all animal species and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use in water for drinking. The applicants requested these additives to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 11 October 2011 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate are effective sources of vitamin B1 and that no safety concerns would arise for users. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
