COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 900/2013
of 18 September 2013
establishing a prohibition of fishing for plaice in areas VIIh, VIIj and VIIk by vessels flying the flag of Ireland
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Regulation (EU) No 39/2013 of 21 January 2013 fixing for 2013 the fishing opportunities available to EU vessels for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are not subject to international negotiations or agreements (2), lays down quotas for 2013.
(2)
According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2013.
(3)
It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2013 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Article 2
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex. In particular it shall be prohibited to retain on board, relocate, tranship or land fish from that stock caught by those vessels after that date.
Article 3
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1326/2013
of 9 December 2013
amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
Until 2012, sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies and similar articles of any material were classified in different Chapters of the Harmonised System nomenclature, depending on the nature or constituent material of the article. Different rates of customs duty were associated with those articles. This led to a complex tariff system of classification.
(2)
In 2012, a single heading 961900 was created in the Harmonised System to cover those sanitary articles. However, the same complex tariff system of classification was kept under the new heading, which was divided into twelve subheadings according to the constituent material, each corresponding to a different conventional rate of duty.
(3)
That complex system has been found to lead to unnecessary difficulties and burdens in the application of the Combined Nomenclature. In the interest of legislative simplification and to avoid unnecessary difficulties in applying the Combined Nomenclature, it is therefore appropriate to simplify both the Combined Nomenclature and the tariff structure for those sanitary articles, in order to implement four categories of products (instead of eight), each of them associated with a single autonomous rate of duty.
(4)
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 9 December 2013.
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/1139
of 13 July 2015
amending Directive 2012/9/EU as regards the date for its transposition and the deadline for the end of the transitional period
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC, providing for the list of additional health warnings to be used on each unit packet of tobacco products in accordance with Article 5(2)(b) of that Directive, was replaced by Commission Directive 2012/9/EU (2). Article 2 of Directive 2012/9/EU, as amended by Directive 2014/39/EU (3), sets 28 March 2016 as the deadline for its transposition by Member States and 28 March 2018 as end of the transitional period provided for in Article 3 of that Directive.
(2)
Directive 2014/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) repealing Directive 2001/37/EC with effect from 20 May 2016, provides that each unit packet and any outside packaging of tobacco products for smoking shall carry combined health warnings containing one of the text warnings listed in Annex I to Directive 2014/40/EU and a corresponding colour photograph specified in the picture library in Annex II to that Directive. The text warnings in Annex I to Directive 2014/40/EU are identical to those laid down in Annex I to Directive 2001/37/EC as amended by Directive 2012/9/EU. Article 29 of Directive 2014/40/EU sets 20 May 2016 as the deadline for its transposition by the Member States and Article 30 of Directive 2014/40/EU sets 20 May 2017 as end of the transitional period.
(3)
It is appropriate to extend the period for transposition of Directive 2012/9/EU from 28 March 2016 to 20 May 2016, in order to align the transposition deadlines for the new text warnings laid down by that Directive and for the new combined warnings introduced by Directive 2014/40/EU. It is also necessary to align the transitional period provided for in Directive 2012/9/EU with the transitional period provided for in Directive 2014/40/EU.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 10(1) of Directive 2001/37/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

(1)
In Article 2(1), ‘28 March 2016’ is replaced by ‘20 May 2016’.
(2)

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)

amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010, as regards the substance ‘cabergoline’
(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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1)
The maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2)
Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3)
An application for the establishment of maximum residue limits for cabergoline in bovine species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(4)
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for cabergoline for bovine species, applicable to fat, liver, kidney, muscle and milk.
(5)
In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.
(6)
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.
(7)
Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance cabergoline for bovine species.
(8)
It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.

(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 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)

(2)
Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.
