COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 497/2012

of 7 June 2012

amending Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the requirements for imports of animals susceptible to bluetongue

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (1), and in particular Article 6(1), Article 7(e), and Article 13(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (2) lays down the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which live ungulate animals, including those susceptible to bluetongue, may be introduced into the Union and the veterinary certification requirements for such introduction. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (2) lays down the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which live ungulate animals, including those susceptible to bluetongue, may be introduced into the Union and the veterinary certification requirements for such introduction.

| (2) | In particular, with regard to animals susceptible to bluetongue, certificates BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y and RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 include inter alia the requirement that the animals come from a territory which, at the date of issue of the certificate accompanying them had been free from bluetongue for a period of twelve months. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In particular, with regard to animals susceptible to bluetongue, certificates BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y and RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 include inter alia the requirement that the animals come from a territory which, at the date of issue of the certificate accompanying them had been free from bluetongue for a period of twelve months.

| (3) | As a result of new technical developments, "inactivated vaccines" against bluetongue have become available which do not pose the risk of undesired local circulation of the vaccine virus to unvaccinated cattle, sheep and goats. It is now widely accepted that vaccination with inactivated vaccines is the preferred tool for the control of bluetongue and for the prevention of clinical disease in such animals in the Union. |

As a result of new technical developments, "inactivated vaccines" against bluetongue have become available which do not pose the risk of undesired local circulation of the vaccine virus to unvaccinated cattle, sheep and goats. It is now widely accepted that vaccination with inactivated vaccines is the preferred tool for the control of bluetongue and for the prevention of clinical disease in such animals in the Union.

| (4) | To ensure better control of the spread of the bluetongue virus and to reduce the burden on the agricultural sector posed by that disease, the rules on vaccination laid down in Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (3) were recently amended by Directive 2012/5/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) to take account of the recent technological developments in vaccine production. |

To ensure better control of the spread of the bluetongue virus and to reduce the burden on the agricultural sector posed by that disease, the rules on vaccination laid down in Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (3) were recently amended by Directive 2012/5/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) to take account of the recent technological developments in vaccine production.

| (5) | Accordingly, Directive 2000/75/EC now provides for the use of inactivated vaccines in all parts of the EU. |

(5)

Accordingly, Directive 2000/75/EC now provides for the use of inactivated vaccines in all parts of the EU.

| (6) | As a result of the evolving epidemiological situation as regards bluetongue, and to align with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) standards, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 of 26 October 2007 on implementing rules for Council Directive 2000/75/EC as regards the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of certain animals of susceptible species in relation to bluetongue (5) was amended recently. The EU standards require the absence of virus circulation for a minimum period of two years in order to consider a territory free from bluetongue. The period of twelve months referred to in the relevant certificates set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

| (7) | Directive 2000/75/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 apply to intra-Union movements of live ungulates of species susceptible to bluetongue. It is appropriate that the models of veterinary certificates BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y and RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 be amended to align the animal health requirements for imports into the Union, as regards bluetongue, to the requirements for intra-Union movement in animals susceptible to that disease. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 11 June 2012

concerning national provisions notified by Denmark on certain industrial greenhouse gases

(notified under document C(2012) 3717)

(Only the Danish text is authentic)

(2012/301/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114(6) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | By letter of 13 February 2012 and pursuant to Article 114(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) the Kingdom of Denmark notified to the Commission that Denmark intends to maintain its national provisions on certain industrial greenhouse gases which are more stringent than Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases (1) beyond 31 December 2012, the end date of the authorisation by Commission Decision 2007/62/EC (2), adopted in accordance with Article 95(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC) (now Article 114(6) TFEU). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

By letter of 13 February 2012 and pursuant to Article 114(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) the Kingdom of Denmark notified to the Commission that Denmark intends to maintain its national provisions on certain industrial greenhouse gases which are more stringent than Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases (1) beyond 31 December 2012, the end date of the authorisation by Commission Decision 2007/62/EC (2), adopted in accordance with Article 95(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC) (now Article 114(6) TFEU).

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) aims at preventing and containing the emissions of certain F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) covered by the Kyoto Protocol. It also contains a limited number of use bans and placing on the market prohibitions when alternatives were considered available and cost effective at Community level and where improvement of containment and recovery were regarded as not feasible. |

Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) aims at preventing and containing the emissions of certain F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) covered by the Kyoto Protocol. It also contains a limited number of use bans and placing on the market prohibitions when alternatives were considered available and cost effective at Community level and where improvement of containment and recovery were regarded as not feasible.

| (3) | The Regulation has a double legal base, Article 175(1) TEC (now Article 192(1) TFEU) with respect to all provisions but Articles 7, 8 and 9, which are based on Article 95 TEC (now Article 114 TFEU) due to their implications in terms of free circulation of goods within the Union’s single market. |

(3)

The Regulation has a double legal base, Article 175(1) TEC (now Article 192(1) TFEU) with respect to all provisions but Articles 7, 8 and 9, which are based on Article 95 TEC (now Article 114 TFEU) due to their implications in terms of free circulation of goods within the Union’s single market.

| (4) | Denmark has had national provisions on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases since 2002 and notified those provisions to the Commission in its letter of 2 June 2006. A general ban on the import, sale and use of new products containing the covered F-gases is accompanied by derogations specified in Annex I of the Order. These derogations relate to a number of highly specific applications and, for a number of more common applications, are based on the quantity of greenhouse gases used in the respective systems, thereby exempting for instance refrigeration units, heat pumps or air conditioning units with charges between 0,15 kg and 10 kg as well as refrigeration systems for recovering heat with a charge less or equal to 50 kg. Products for ships and military use as well as the use of SF6 in high voltage units are exempted. On 8 December 2006 the Commission decided with reference to Article 95(6) TEC (now Article 114(6) TFEU) to authorise Denmark to maintain the provisions until 31 December 2012. |

On 8 December 2006 the Commission decided with reference to Article 95(6) TEC (now Article 114(6) TFEU) to authorise Denmark to maintain the provisions until 31 December 2012.

| (5) | Since the adoption of Decision 2007/62/EC the circumstances justifying maintaining more stringent provisions, as laid out in that decision, persist. The national rules remain part of a broader strategy put in place by Denmark in order to meet its emission reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol and the subsequent burden sharing agreement adopted at Union level. Under this arrangement, Denmark has undertaken to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 21 % over the 2008-2012 period compared to the base year, 1990. The notified measures are reported to have significantly contributed to the reduction of HFC emissions in Denmark. In the decisions adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020 (3), Denmark has undertaken to further reduce emissions by 20 % in 2020 compared to 2005 levels. |

| (6) | The derogations provided for in the Order, as well as the possibility to grant in very specific cases individual exemptions from the general ban, ensure the proportionality of the measure. Furthermore, it concerns only new equipment and allows the use of F-gases for the servicing and maintenance of existing equipment so that unnecessary abandonment of equipment is avoided. |

Furthermore, it concerns only new equipment and allows the use of F-gases for the servicing and maintenance of existing equipment so that unnecessary abandonment of equipment is avoided.

| (7) | While noting that the Order has implications on the free circulation of goods within the Union, the provisions are general and apply to national and imported products alike. There is no evidence that the notified national provisions have been or will be used as a means of arbitrary discrimination between economic operators in the Union. In view of the risks for the environment resulting from the use of F-gases, the Commission confirms its assessment that the notified national provisions do not constitute a disproportionate obstacle to the functioning of the internal market in relation to the pursued objectives, in particular considering the conclusions of the recent assessment of the application, effects and adequacy of Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (4) that further measures for the reduction of F-gas emissions are necessary to reach the agreed Union-wide greenhouse gas emission targets. |

| (8) | The Commission is of the opinion that the request by Denmark, submitted on 13 February 2012, for maintaining its national legislation more stringent than Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 with respect to the placing on the market of products and equipment containing, or whose functioning relies upon, F-gases, is admissible. |

The Commission therefore considers that they can be approved.

Considering this possibility and the long term commitments of the EU and its Member States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a limitation of the duration of the approval to a specific date is not deemed necessary,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.
