COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 101/2013

of 4 February 2013

concerning the use of lactic acid to reduce microbiological surface contamination on bovine carcases

(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 853/2004 of 29 April 2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) lays down general rules for food business operators on the hygiene of foodstuffs, taking particular account of the principle concerning the general implementation of procedures based on hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP). |

On 14 December 2010, the Commission received an application for approval of the use of lactic acid to reduce surface contamination of bovine carcases and meat.

(5)

On 26 July 2011, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted a Scientific Opinion on the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of lactic acid for the removal of microbial surface contamination from beef carcases, cuts and trimmings (4).

| (6) | In its Opinion, EFSA concludes that the treatments using lactic acid for decontamination are of no safety concern, provided that the substance used complies with Union specifications for food additives. In addition, EFSA concludes that treatments with lactic acid provide a significant reduction of microbiological contamination compared to no treatment or to treatment with potable water and that it is unlikely that such treatments would contribute to the development of microbial resistance. |

In addition, EFSA concludes that treatments with lactic acid provide a significant reduction of microbiological contamination compared to no treatment or to treatment with potable water and that it is unlikely that such treatments would contribute to the development of microbial resistance.

| (7) | EFSA recommends that food business operators validate the antimicrobial efficacy of such treatments under their specific processing conditions and verify lactic acid concentration, temperature of application and other factors affecting its efficacy as a decontaminating agent. The EFSA Opinion also concluded that there are no negative implications resulting from this use of lactic acid on the environment. |

The EFSA Opinion also concluded that there are no negative implications resulting from this use of lactic acid on the environment.

| (8) | According to the EFSA Opinion, the residual amount absorbed in the beef meat from lactic acid treatment will not be higher than 190 mg/kg. Such amount is considered residual compared to the active amount necessary for the purpose of reducing microbial surface contamination. Furthermore, it does not have any technological effect in the final product. In addition, the residual amount of lactic acid used for reducing microbial surface contamination is negligible compared to the amount of lactic acid naturally present in beef and it is of no safety concern. In certain meat preparations, lactic acid salts are authorised as food additives for the purpose of preservation. For this purpose, levels of 20 000 mg/kg are commonly used. Therefore, the use of lactic acid for the purpose of reducing microbial surface contamination is clearly distinct from its use as a food additive. |

| (9) | In view of the EFSA Opinion, taking into account that lactic acid can provide a significant reduction of possible microbiological contamination, it is appropriate to approve its use to reduce surface contamination. Such use should however be subjected to certain conditions. Its use should be limited to the use on carcases or half carcases or quarters at the level of the slaughterhouse and it should be integrated into good hygienic practices and HACCP-based systems. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 104/2013

of 4 February 2013

amending Regulation (EU) No 185/2010 as regards the screening of passengers and persons other than passengers by Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) equipment in combination with Hand Held Metal Detection (HHMD) equipment

(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 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 272/2009 of 2 April 2009 supplementing the common basic standards on civil aviation security laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that the implementing rules to be adopted pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 may allow the use of explosive trace detection (ETD) equipment and hand held metal detection (HHMD) equipment for screening of persons (passengers and persons other than passengers). |

| (2) | Experience has shown that hand searches of passengers and persons other than passengers are not always the most efficient means of screening certain parts of the person, in particular where those parts are not readily accessible such as certain headgear, plaster casts or prosthesis. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Experience has shown that hand searches of passengers and persons other than passengers are not always the most efficient means of screening certain parts of the person, in particular where those parts are not readily accessible such as certain headgear, plaster casts or prosthesis.

| (3) | Trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of the combined use of ETD and HHMD in such cases. Moreover, the use of ETD and HHMD may facilitate the screening process and be experienced to be a less intrusive means of screening than a hand search, thus constituting an improvement in the experience of persons screened. |

Trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of the combined use of ETD and HHMD in such cases. Moreover, the use of ETD and HHMD may facilitate the screening process and be experienced to be a less intrusive means of screening than a hand search, thus constituting an improvement in the experience of persons screened.

| (4) | It is thus useful and justified to allow these methods for screening of those parts of the person where a hand search is considered inefficient and/or undesirable such as certain headgear, plaster casts or prosthesis. |

In so far as it limits those rights and principles, such limitation is made genuinely to meet objectives of general interest and the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others, respecting the conditions laid down in Article 52 of the Charter. This Regulation must be applied in accordance with those rights and principles. |

GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 23 January 2013

amending Guideline ECB/2012/18 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral

(ECB/2013/2)

(2013/74/EU)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1 and Articles 12.1, 14.3 and 18.2 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 2 of Guideline ECB/2012/18 of 2 August 2012 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral (1) provides that the Eurosystem may decide that counterparties may reduce the amount of, or terminate, certain longer-term refinancing operations before maturity (such reduction of the amount or termination hereinafter also collectively referred to as ‘early repayment’). Article 2 further specifies that the conditions for such early repayment are to be published in the announcement of the relevant tender or in another format deemed appropriate by the Eurosystem. |

Article 2 of Guideline ECB/2012/18 of 2 August 2012 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral (1) provides that the Eurosystem may decide that counterparties may reduce the amount of, or terminate, certain longer-term refinancing operations before maturity (such reduction of the amount or termination hereinafter also collectively referred to as ‘early repayment’). Article 2 further specifies that the conditions for such early repayment are to be published in the announcement of the relevant tender or in another format deemed appropriate by the Eurosystem.

| (2) | The procedure applicable to the early repayment by counterparties should be further specified in order to ensure that the same conditions are applied by all national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) in respect of early repayment. In particular, the financial penalties regime set out in Appendix 6 to Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (2) should apply where counterparties fail to settle, in full or in part, the amount to be repaid to the relevant NCB by the due date where they have opted for early repayment. |

| --- | --- |

(3)

Therefore, Guideline ECB/2012/18 should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:

Article 1

Amendment

Article 2 of Guideline ECB/2012/18 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 2

Option to reduce the amount of, or terminate longer-term refinancing operations

1.   The Eurosystem may decide that, under certain conditions, counterparties may reduce the amount of, or terminate, certain longer-term refinancing operations before maturity (such reduction of the amount or termination hereinafter also collectively referred to as “early repayment”). The tender announcement shall specify whether the option to reduce the amount of, or terminate, the operations in question before maturity applies, as well as the date from when such option may be exercised. This information may alternatively be provided in another format deemed appropriate by the Eurosystem.

2.   A counterparty may exercise the option to reduce the amount of, or terminate, longer-term refinancing operations before maturity by notifying the relevant NCB of the amount it intends to repay under the early repayment procedure, as well as of the date on which it intends to make such early repayment, at least one week in advance of that early repayment date. Unless otherwise specified by the Eurosystem, an early repayment may be effected on any day that coincides with the settlement day of a Eurosystem main refinancing operation, provided that the counterparty makes the notification referred to in this paragraph at least one week in advance of that date.

3.   The notification referred to in paragraph 2 shall become binding on the counterparty one week before the early repayment date it refers to. Failure by the counterparty to settle, in full or in part, the amount due under the early repayment procedure by the due date may result in the imposition of a financial penalty as set out in Section 1 of Appendix 6 to Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14. The provisions of Section 1 of Appendix 6 which apply to infringements of rules related to tender operations shall apply where a counterparty fails to settle, in full or in part, the amount due on the early repayment date referred to in paragraph 2. The imposition of a financial penalty shall be without prejudice to the NCB’s right to exercise the remedies provided for on the occurrence of an event of default as set out in Annex II to Guideline ECB/2011/14.’.

Article 2

Taking effect and implementation

1.   This Guideline shall take effect on the day of its notification to the NCBs.

2.   The NCBs shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Guideline and apply them from 7 March 2013. They shall notify the ECB of the texts and means relating to those measures by 21 February 2013 at the latest.

Article 3

Addressees

This Guideline is addressed to all Eurosystem central banks.

Done at Frankfurt am Main, 23 January 2013.
