COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/620

of 17 April 2019

granting Cape Verde a temporary derogation from the rules on preferential origin laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, in respect of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 64(6) and 66(b) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Cape Verde is a country benefiting from the generalised system of preferences referred to in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) as the GSP. By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011 (3) Cape Verde was granted a derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (4) in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the GSP. The derogation concerned annual volumes of 2 500 tonnes of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes of prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets. Under the derogation and within those quantities, these products were considered as originating in Cape Verde even if, despite being produced in Cape Verde, they were produced from non-originating fish. Having been prolonged three times, the derogation expired on 31 December 2018 (5). |

Cape Verde is a country benefiting from the generalised system of preferences referred to in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) as the GSP. By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011 (3) Cape Verde was granted a derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (4) in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the GSP. The derogation concerned annual volumes of 2 500 tonnes of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes of prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets. Under the derogation and within those quantities, these products were considered as originating in Cape Verde even if, despite being produced in Cape Verde, they were produced from non-originating fish. Having been prolonged three times, the derogation expired on 31 December 2018 (5).

| (2) | By letter dated 22 October 2018, Cape Verde submitted a request for a prolongation of that derogation, for the same annual volumes, for a period pending entry into force of the new Economic Partnership Agreement (‘EPA’) between the Union and West Africa initialled on 30 June 2014. By virtue of its cumulation rules, the EPA will allow the fish processing industry of Cape Verde to comply with the rules on preferential origin by using fish originating in the other West African States. |

By letter dated 22 October 2018, Cape Verde submitted a request for a prolongation of that derogation, for the same annual volumes, for a period pending entry into force of the new Economic Partnership Agreement (‘EPA’) between the Union and West Africa initialled on 30 June 2014. By virtue of its cumulation rules, the EPA will allow the fish processing industry of Cape Verde to comply with the rules on preferential origin by using fish originating in the other West African States.

| (3) | From 2008, the total annual quantities that were granted to Cape Verde under the derogation have contributed, to a significant extent, to improving the situation in the Cape Verdean fishery processing sector. Those quantities have also led, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde's fleet of small fishing vessels, which is of vital importance to the country. |

From 2008, the total annual quantities that were granted to Cape Verde under the derogation have contributed, to a significant extent, to improving the situation in the Cape Verdean fishery processing sector. Those quantities have also led, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde's fleet of small fishing vessels, which is of vital importance to the country.

| (4) | The arguments in the request demonstrate that, without the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fish processing industry to continue exporting to the Union under the GSP would be significantly affected, which might deter further development of the Cape Verdean fleet of small vessels for pelagic fishing. |

| (5) | Additional time is needed to consolidate the results already obtained by Cape Verde in its efforts to revitalise its local fishing fleet. The derogation should give Cape Verde sufficient time to prepare itself to comply with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin. |

To initiate each free acceleration cycle, the throttle pedal must be fully depressed quickly and continuously (in less than one second) but not violently, so as to obtain maximum delivery from the injection pump.

| 3. | During each free acceleration cycle, the engine shall reach cut-off speed or, for vehicles with automatic transmissions, the speed specified by the manufacturer or, if this data is not available, then two thirds of the cut-off speed, before the throttle is released. This could be checked, for instance, by monitoring engine speed or by allowing a sufficient time to elapse between initial throttle depression and release, which in the case of vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3, should be at least two seconds. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/623

of 16 April 2019

concerning the extension of the action taken by the Belgian Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment permitting the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product Phostoxin in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(notified under document C(2019) 2828)

(Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 55(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 30 May 2018 the Belgian Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment (the ‘Belgian competent authority’) adopted a decision in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 to permit until 7 December 2018 the making available on the market and use on the site of Zaventem Airport of the biocidal product Phostoxin as a biocidal product of product-type 20 for the control of rabbits (‘the action’). The Belgian competent authority informed the Commission and the competent authorities of the other Member States about the action and the justification for it, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 55(1) of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

On 30 May 2018 the Belgian Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment (the ‘Belgian competent authority’) adopted a decision in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 to permit until 7 December 2018 the making available on the market and use on the site of Zaventem Airport of the biocidal product Phostoxin as a biocidal product of product-type 20 for the control of rabbits (‘the action’). The Belgian competent authority informed the Commission and the competent authorities of the other Member States about the action and the justification for it, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 55(1) of that Regulation.

| (2) | According to the information provided by the Belgian competent authority, the action was necessary in order to protect public health, since the rabbits on the site of the airport might endanger the transport of passengers and more generally the air transport. The rabbit burrows can undermine the airport's runways. Moreover, rabbits attract birds of prey, which can be caught in the aircraft's engine or can collide with the aircraft, causing damage to the engine or other components of the aircraft. |

| (3) | Phostoxin contains aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine as an active substance, which is approved for use in biocidal products of product types 14 (rodenticides), 18 (insecticides) and 20 (control of other vertebrates) as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Phostoxin is authorised in Belgium as a biocidal product of product type 18 whereas the use against rabbits entails its use as product-type 20. |

Phostoxin contains aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine as an active substance, which is approved for use in biocidal products of product types 14 (rodenticides), 18 (insecticides) and 20 (control of other vertebrates) as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Phostoxin is authorised in Belgium as a biocidal product of product type 18 whereas the use against rabbits entails its use as product-type 20.

| (4) | On 12 October 2018, the Commission received a reasoned request from the Belgian competent authority to extend the action in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The reasoned request was made on the basis of concerns that air transport safety might continue to be endangered by the rabbits and the argument that Phostoxin is essential in order to effectively counter the rabbits on the airport site. According to the information provided by the Belgian competent authority, there are no biocidal products authorised as product type 20 (control of other vertebrates) in Belgium and the alternative methods of control of rabbits on the site of the airport, for example shooting, are not suitable due to specificities of the location. The Belgian competent authority initiated the procedure in order to find a permanent solution for the future use of Phostoxin by way of mutual recognition of an authorisation currently granted in another Member State in accordance with Article 33 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. |

| (5) | As the lack of appropriate control of the rabbits on the airport site might endanger the air transport safety and that danger cannot be adequately contained on the site of Zaventem airport by using another biocidal product or by other means, it is appropriate to allow the Belgian competent authority to extend the action for a period not exceeding 550 days starting from the day following the expiry of the initial period of 180 days permitted in the decision of the Belgian competent authority of 30 May 2018 and under certain conditions. |
