2.   Physical architecture of the national interfaces and of the communication infrastructure between the central VIS and national interfaces

The NI-VIS, as defined in Article 1(2) of Council Decision 2004/512/EC, shall consist of:

| — | one local national interface (hereinafter referred to as ‘LNI’) for each Member State which is the interface that physically connects the Member State to the secure communication network and contains the encryption devices dedicated to VIS. The LNI is located at the Member State premises, |
| --- | --- |

—

one local national interface (hereinafter referred to as ‘LNI’) for each Member State which is the interface that physically connects the Member State to the secure communication network and contains the encryption devices dedicated to VIS. The LNI is located at the Member State premises,

| — | an optional backup local national interface (hereinafter referred to as ‘BLNI’) which has the same content, function as the LNI. |
| --- | --- |

—

an optional backup local national interface (hereinafter referred to as ‘BLNI’) which has the same content, function as the LNI.

The specific configuration of the LNI and BLNI will be specified and agreed with each individual Member State.

The LNI and BLNI are to be used exclusively for purposes defined by the Community legislation applicable to VIS.

The communication infrastructure between the CS-VIS and the NI-VIS shall consist of:

| — | the network for Secure Trans-European Services for Telematics between Administrations (sTESTA) that provides an encrypted, virtual, private network (vis.stesta.eu) dedicated to VIS data and to communication between Member States according to the Community legislation related to VIS and between Member States and the authority responsible for the operational management for the CS-VIS. |
| --- | --- |

—

the network for Secure Trans-European Services for Telematics between Administrations (sTESTA) that provides an encrypted, virtual, private network (vis.stesta.eu) dedicated to VIS data and to communication between Member States according to the Community legislation related to VIS and between Member States and the authority responsible for the operational management for the CS-VIS.

3.   Network services

In chapters 3, 5 and 7, whenever technologies or protocols are mentioned, it should be understood that equivalent technologies or protocols may be used. The deployment of the network shall take into account the readiness of Member States.

3.1.   Network layout

The VIS architecture makes use of centralised services, which are accessible from the different Member States. For resiliency purposes these centralised services are duplicated to two different locations namely Strasbourg, France, hosting the principal CS-VIS, central unit (CU) and St Johann im Pongau, Austria, hosting the backup CS-VIS, backup central unit (BCU) in accordance with Commission Decision 2006/752/EC of 3 November 2006 establishing the sites for the Visa Information System during the development phase (1).

The principal and backup central units shall be accessible from the different Member States via network access points – an LNI and a BLNI – interconnecting their national system to the CS-VIS.

The connection between the principal CS-VIS and the backup CS-VIS shall be open for any new future architectures and technologies and shall allow for the continuous synchronisation between the CU and BCU.

3.2.   Bandwidth

The bandwidth needed for the LNI and the optional BLNI may be different from one Member State to another.

The communication infrastructure shall offer site connection bandwidths adapted to the expected traffic load. The network shall supply sufficient minimal guaranteed upload and download speeds for each connection and it shall support the total bandwidth size of the network access points.

3.3.   Supported protocols

The communication infrastructure shall be able to support network protocols used by the CS-VIS, in particular HTTP, FTP, NTP, SMTP, SNMP, DNS, tunnelling protocols, SAN replication protocols and the proprietary Java-to-Java connection protocols of BEA WebLogic over IP.

3.4.   Technical specifications

3.4.1.   IP addressing

The communications infrastructure shall have a range of reserved IP addresses that may solely be used within that network. Within the reserved IP range, the CS-VIS will use a dedicated set of IP addresses that will not be used elsewhere.

3.4.2.   Support for IPv6

The local networks of most sites will be using IPv4 but some may use IPv6. Therefore the network access points shall offer the possibility to act as a IPv4/IPv6 gateway. Coordination with Member States evolving towards IPv6 will be required, in order to ensure a smooth transition.

3.4.3.   Sustained flow rate

As long as the CU or BCU connection has a load rate less of 90 %, a given Member State shall be able to sustain continually 100 % of its specified bandwidth.

3.4.4.   Other specifications

To support the CS-VIS, the communication infrastructure shall at least comply with a minimum set of technical specifications:

| | The transit delay shall be (including the busy hours) less or equal to 150 ms in 95 % of packets and less than 200 ms in 100 % of packets. |
| --- | --- |

The transit delay shall be (including the busy hours) less or equal to 150 ms in 95 % of packets and less than 200 ms in 100 % of packets.

| | Its probability of packet loss shall be (including the busy hours) less or equal to 10-4 in 95 % of packets and less than 10-3 in 100 % of packets. |
| --- | --- |

Its probability of packet loss shall be (including the busy hours) less or equal to 10-4 in 95 % of packets and less than 10-3 in 100 % of packets.

| | The aforementioned specifications apply to each access point separately. |
| --- | --- |

The aforementioned specifications apply to each access point separately.

| | The connection between the CU and BCU shall have a round trip delay less or equal to 60 ms. |
| --- | --- |

The connection between the CU and BCU shall have a round trip delay less or equal to 60 ms.

3.5.   Resiliency

The communication infrastructure shall offer high availability, in particular of the following components:

| — | backbone network, |
| --- | --- |

—

backbone network,

| — | routing devices, |
| --- | --- |

—

routing devices,

| — | points of presence, |

| — | all generic services (DNS, etc.), |
| --- | --- |

—

all generic services (DNS, etc.),

| — | LNI and optional BLNI. |
| --- | --- |

—

LNI and optional BLNI.

Network failover mechanisms shall be set up and, when required, coordinated with the application level to ensure maximum availability of the VIS as a whole.

4.   Monitoring

To facilitate monitoring, the communication infrastructure’s monitoring tools shall have the capability to be integrated with the monitoring facilities for the operational management of the CS-VIS.

5.   Generic services

The communication infrastructure shall be able to offer the following optional generic services: DNS, mail relay and NTP.

6.   Availability

The availability of connection points up to the LAN of the communication infrastructure shall be 99,99 % over a 28-day rolling period.

7.   Security services

7.1.   Network encryption

No VIS-related information shall circulate on the communication infrastructure without encryption.

To maintain a high level of security, the communication infrastructure shall allow managing the certificates/keys used by the network encryption solution. Remote administration and remote monitoring of the encryption boxes shall be possible.

Symmetric encryption algorithms (3DES 128 bits or better) and asymmetric encryption algorithms (RSA 1 024 bit modulus or better) shall be used in accordance with the state of the art.

7.2.   Other security features

Besides protecting the VIS network access points (LNI and BLNI), the communication infrastructure shall also protect the optional generic services. In case such services are made available, they should meet protection measures comparable to those in CS-VIS. Furthermore, the generic services devices and its protection measures should be under continuous security surveillance.

In order to maintain a high level of security, the communication infrastructure shall allow all security incidents to be reported without any delay. Reports on all security incidents shall be provided on a regular basis, e.g. monthly reporting and ad-hoc basis.

8.   Helpdesk and support structure

A helpdesk and support structure shall be established and shall be able to interact with the CS-VIS.

9.   Interaction with other systems

The communication infrastructure shall ensure that data leakage towards other systems or other networks will not occur on the network.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 July 2008

on a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Mauritius with regard to preserved tuna and tuna loins

(notified under document number C(2008) 3568)

(2008/603/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for goods originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (1), and in particular Article 36(4) of Annex II thereto,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 21 February 2008 Mauritius requested, in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for a period of five years. On 10 March 2008 Mauritius submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total annual quantity of 5 000 tonnes of canned tuna and 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased in the South West Indian Ocean. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

On 21 February 2008 Mauritius requested, in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for a period of five years. On 10 March 2008 Mauritius submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total annual quantity of 5 000 tonnes of canned tuna and 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased in the South West Indian Ocean.

| (2) | According to the information provided by Mauritius the catches of raw tuna in late 2007 and early 2008 were unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Mauritius to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period. |

According to the information provided by Mauritius the catches of raw tuna in late 2007 and early 2008 were unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Mauritius to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period.

| (3) | A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected. |

(3)

A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected.

| (4) | It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007.

| (5) | Mauritius will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for canned tuna and tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 42(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States on the one part and the European Community and its Member States on the other part (ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied. |

Mauritius will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for canned tuna and tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 42(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the Interim Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States on the one part and the European Community and its Member States on the other part (ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied.

| (6) | In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2008. The derogation therefore should not be granted for the requested period of five years, but should be granted for the period from January to December 2008. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2008. The derogation therefore should not be granted for the requested period of five years, but should be granted for the period from January to December 2008.

| (7) | In accordance with Article 42(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the automatic derogation from the rules of origin is limited to an annual quota of 8 000 tonnes of canned tuna and 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the countries having initialled the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement (Comoros, Mauritius, Madagascar, Seychelles and Zimbabwe). Requests for a temporary derogation in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 from other countries of the ESA region are to be expected, notably from Madagascar and Seychelles. It would be inappropriate to grant derogations under Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 which exceed the annual quota granted to the ESA region under the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement. The derogation therefore should not be granted for the requested quantities, but should be granted for 3 000 tonnes of preserved tuna and 600 tonnes of tuna loins. |

5.   REQUIREMENTS FOR LIQUID FUEL TANKS

5.1.   Tanks must be made so as to be corrosion-resistant.

5.2.   Tanks must satisfy, when equipped with all accessories, which are normally attached to them, the leakage tests carried out according to paragraph 6.1 at a relative internal pressure equal to double the working overpressure, but in any event not less than an overpressure of 0,3 bar.

Tanks for vehicles made of a plastic material are considered as meeting this requirement if they have passed the test described in Annex V, paragraph 2.

5.3.   Any excess pressure or any pressure exceeding the working pressure must be compensated automatically by suitable devices (vents, safety valves, etc.).

5.4.   The vents must be designed in such a way as to prevent any fire risk. In particular, any fuel, which may leak when the tank(s) is (are) being filled must not be able to fall on the exhaust system. It shall be channelled to the ground.

5.5.   The tank(s) must not be situated in, or form, a surface (floor, wall, bulkhead) of the passenger compartment or other compartment integral with it.

5.6.   A partition must be provided to separate the occupant compartment from the tank(s). The partition may contain apertures (e.g. to accommodate cables) provided they are so arranged that fuel cannot flow freely from the tank(s) into the occupant compartment or other compartment integral with it during normal conditions of use.

5.7.   Every tank must be securely fixed and so placed as to ensure that any fuel leaking from the tank or its accessories will escape to the ground and not into the occupant compartment during normal conditions of use.

5.8.   The filler hole must not be situated in the occupant compartment, in the luggage compartment or in the engine compartment.

5.9.   The fuel must not escape through the tank cap or through the devices provided to compensate excess pressure during the foreseeable course of operation of the vehicle. In the case of overturning of the vehicle, a drip may be tolerated provided that it does not exceed 30 g/min; this requirement must be verified during the test prescribed in paragraph 6.2.

5.9.1.   The fuel filler cap must be fixed to the filler pipe.

5.9.1.1.   The requirements of paragraph 5.9.1 will be deemed to be satisfied if provision is made to prevent excess evaporative emissions and fuel spillage caused by a missing fuel filler cap;

This may be achieved using one of the following:

| 5.9.1.1.1. | an automatically opening and closing, non–removable fuel filler cap; |
| --- | --- |

5.9.1.1.1.

an automatically opening and closing, non–removable fuel filler cap;

| 5.9.1.1.2. | design features which avoid excess evaporative emissions and fuel spillage in the case of a missing fuel filler cap; |
| --- | --- |

5.9.1.1.2.

design features which avoid excess evaporative emissions and fuel spillage in the case of a missing fuel filler cap;

| 5.9.1.1.3. | any other provision which has the same effect. Examples may include, but are not limited to, a tether filler cap, a chained filler cap or one utilising the same locking key for the filler cap and for the vehicle's ignition. In this case, the key shall be removable from the filler cap only in the locked condition. However, the use of tethered or chained filler cap by itself is not sufficient for vehicles other than those of categories M1 and N1. |
| --- | --- |

5.9.1.1.3.

any other provision which has the same effect. Examples may include, but are not limited to, a tether filler cap, a chained filler cap or one utilising the same locking key for the filler cap and for the vehicle's ignition. In this case, the key shall be removable from the filler cap only in the locked condition. However, the use of tethered or chained filler cap by itself is not sufficient for vehicles other than those of categories M1 and N1.

5.9.2.   The seal between the cap and the filler pipe must be retained securely in place. The cap must latch securely in place against the seal and filler pipe when closed.

5.10.   Tanks must be installed in such a way as to be protected from the consequences of an collision to the front or the rear of the vehicle; there shall be no protruding parts, sharp edges, etc. near the tank.

5.11.   The fuel tank and its accessory parts shall be designed and installed in the vehicle in such a way that any ignition hazard due to static electricity shall be avoided. If necessary, measure(s) for charge dissipation shall be provided. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the technical service the measure(s) which guarantee the fulfilling of these requirements.

5.12.   The fuel tank(s) shall be made of a fire-resistant metallic material. It (they) may be made of a plastics material provided the requirements of annex V are complied with.

6.   TESTS OF LIQUID FUEL TANKS

6.1.   Hydraulic test

The tank must be subjected to a hydraulic internal pressure test which must be carried out on an isolated unit complete with all its accessories. The tank must be completely filled with a non-flammable liquid (water, for example). After all communication with the outside has been cut off, the pressure must be gradually increased, through the pipe connection through which fuel is fed to the engine, to a relative internal pressure equal to double the working pressure used and in any case to not less than an excess pressure of 0,3 bar, which must be maintained for one minute. During this time the tank shell must not crack or leak; however, it may be permanently deformed.

6.2.   Overturn test

6.2.1.   The tank and all its accessories must be mounted on to a test fixture in a manner corresponding to the mode of installation on the vehicle for which the tank is intended: this also applies to systems for the compensation of the interior excess pressure.

6.2.2.   The test fixture shall rotate about an axis lying parallel to the longitudinal vehicle axis.

6.2.3.   The test will be carried out with the tank filled to 90 per cent of its capacity and also 30 per cent of its capacity with a non-flammable liquid having a density and a viscosity close to those of the fuel normally used (water may be accepted).

6.2.4.   The tank must be turned from its installed position 90° to the right. The tank must remain in this position for at least five minutes. The tank must then be turned 90° further in the same direction. The tank must be held in this position, in which it is completely inverted, for at least another five minutes. The tank must be rotated back to its normal position. Testing liquid that has not flowed back from the venting system into the tank must be drained and replenished if necessary. The tank must be rotated 90° in the opposite direction and left for at least five minutes in this position.

The tank must be rotated 90° further in the same direction. This completely inverted position must be maintained for at least five minutes. Afterwards the tank must be rotated back to its normal position.

The rotation rate for each successive increment of 90° shall take place in any time interval from 1 to 3 minutes.

Frontal-collision test against a barrier

1.   PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of this test is to simulate the conditions of frontal collision against a fixed obstacle or by another vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.

2.   INSTALLATIONS, PROCEDURES AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

2.1.   Testing ground

The test area shall be large enough to accommodate the run-up track, barrier and technical installations necessary for the test. The last part of the track, for at least 5 m before the barrier, must be horizontal, flat and smooth.

2.2.   Barrier

The barrier consists of a block of reinforced concrete not less than 3 m wide in front and not less than 1.5 m high. The barrier must be of such thickness that it weighs at least 70 tonnes. The front face must be vertical, perpendicular to the axis of the run-up track, and covered with plywood boards 2 cm thick in good condition. The barrier shall be either anchored in the ground or placed on the ground with, if necessary, additional arresting devices to limit its displacement. A barrier with different characteristics, but giving results at least equally conclusive, may likewise be used.

2.3.   Propulsion of vehicle

At the moment of collision, the vehicle must no longer be subject to the action of any additional steering or propelling device. It must reach the obstacle on a course perpendicular to the collision wall; the maximum lateral misalignment tolerated between the vertical median line of the front of the vehicle and the vertical median line of the collision wall is ± 30 cm.

2.4.   State of vehicle

2.4.1.   The vehicle under test shall either be fitted with all the normal components and equipment included in its unladen kerb weight or be in such condition as to fulfil this requirement so far as the components and equipment affecting fire risks are concerned.

2.4.2.   If the vehicle is driven by external means, the fuel installation must be filled to at least 90 per cent of its capacity either with fuel or with a non-inflammable liquid having a density and a viscosity close to those of the fuel normally used. All other systems (brake fluid header tanks, radiator, etc.) may be empty.

2.4.3.   If the vehicle is driven by its own engine, the fuel tank must be at least 90 per cent full. All other liquid-holding tanks may be filled to capacity.

2.4.4.   If the manufacturer so requests, the technical service responsible for conducting the tests may allow the same vehicle as is used for tests prescribed by other Regulations (including tests capable of affecting its structure) to be used also for the tests prescribed by this Regulation.

2.5.   Velocity on collision

The velocity on collision must be between 48.3 km/h and 53.1 km/h. However, if the test has been carried out at a higher collision velocity and the vehicle has satisfied the conditions prescribed, the test shall be considered satisfactory.

2.6.   Measuring instruments

The instrument used to record the speed referred to in paragraph 2.5. above shall be accurate to within one per cent.

3.   EQUIVALENT TEST METHODS

3.1.   Equivalent test methods are permitted provided that the conditions referred to in this Regulation can be observed either entirely by means of the substitute test or by calculation from the results of the substitute test.

3.2.   If a method other than that described in paragraph 2. above is used its equivalence must be demonstrated.
