of 13 May 2013
amending for the 192nd time Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al Qaida network
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network, (1) and in particular Article 7(1)(a) and 7a(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)

(2)
On 2 May 2013 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided to remove one natural person from its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering the de-listing request submitted by this person and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to UNSC Resolution 1904(2009).
(3)
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/170
of 4 February 2015
repealing Regulation (EC) No 1135/2009 imposing special conditions governing the import of certain products originating in or consigned from China
(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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Following the findings of high levels of melamine in infant milk, other milk products, soya and soya products and of ammonium bicarbonate intended for food and feed in China and at import into the EU, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1135/2009 (2) imposes special conditions governing the import of these products originating in or consigned from China. On the basis of that Regulation, the import of products containing milk, milk products, soya and soya products intended for the particular nutritional use of infants and young children originating in or consigned from China is prohibited. Furthermore, identity and physical checks, including sampling and analysis to control the presence of melamine, are carried out on approximately 20 % of consignments originating in or consigned from China of ammonium bicarbonate intended for food and feed and of feed and food containing milk, milk products, soya and soya products.
(2)
Since July 2009, only one non-compliant sample was reported by the competent authorities of the Member States. The findings in that sample, reported in 2011, slightly exceeded the maximum level of melamine in ammonium bicarbonate. As a result, it is appropriate to repeal the special conditions governing the import of infant milk, other milk products, soya and soya products and of ammonium bicarbonate intended for food and feed originating in or consigned from China.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1135/2009 is hereby repealed.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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)
Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission examined the Czech Republic's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Lomnické suchary’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1018/2007 (2).
(2)
Since the amendments in question are not minor within the meaning of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation.
(3)
As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,

Article 1
The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name contained in the Annex to this Regulation are hereby approved.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 627/2013
of 27 June 2013
amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products
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)
In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods that are insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons relating to supplies and disturbances it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 July 2013, new tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty rates for an appropriate volume for the ten products with order numbers 09.2644 and 09.2663 to 09.2671.
(2)
Moreover, for the autonomous tariff quotas of the Union with order numbers 09.2620 and 09.2633 the product description should be adapted, and for order number 09.2629 another TARIC code should be added.
(3)
For the autonomous tariff quotas of the Union with the order numbers 09.2917 and 09.2632, an end date of 31 December 2013 should be inserted, as it is not in the interest of the Union to continue granting such quotas beyond that date.
(4)
Since the new tariff quotas should take effect from 1 July 2013, this Regulation should apply from that date and enter into force immediately upon its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(5)
Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 is hereby amended as follows:
(1)
the rows with order numbers 09.2644 and 09.2663 to 09.2671 set out in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted;
(2)
the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2620, 09.2629, 09.2632, 09.2633 and 09.2917 are replaced by the rows set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(4)
The EU Military Committee supports that recommendation.
(5)

Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of products of the milk and milk products sector.
(2)
For some quotas, the quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 20 November 2014 to 30 November 2014 for the subperiod from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 exceed those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).
(3)
The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 20 November 2014 to 30 November 2014 for the subperiod from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 are, for some quotas, less than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod.
