concerning the authorisation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594) as feed additive for poultry, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows (holder of authorisation DSM Nutritional Products)
(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/70/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in micro-channel plates (MCPs)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2)
Micro-channel plates (MCPs) are used for the detection and amplification of ions and electrons in medical devices and monitoring and control instruments. The substitution of lead in MCPs is scientifically and technically impracticable.
(3)
The substitution of MCPs as components with alternative detectors is not viable under conditions where extreme miniaturisation, very short response times or very high signal multiplication factors are required. The use of lead in those cases where the performance and specific features of MCPs exceed alternative detectors should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. As currently no lead-free alternatives are in sight, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2011/65/EU, the validity period of the exemption should be 7 years from the relevant compliance dates for medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, in vitro medical devices and industrial monitoring and control instruments, as laid down in Article 4(3) of Directive 2011/65/EU. In view of the innovation cycles for all medical devices and monitoring and control instruments 7 years is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4)
Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 672/2013
of 15 July 2013
amending Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 establishing the EU list of vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1936/2001 and (EC) No 601/2004 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1093/94 and (EC) No 1447/1999 (1), in particular Article 30 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Chapter V of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 lays down procedures for the identification of fishing vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing vessels) as well as procedures for establishing a Union list of such vessels. Article 37 of that Regulation provides for actions to be taken against fishing vessels included in that list.
(2)
The Union list of IUU fishing vessels was established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 (2) and subsequently amended by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 724/2011 (3) and (EU) No 1234/2012 (4).
(3)
According to Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, the Union list should comprise fishing vessels included in the IUU vessel lists adopted by regional fisheries management organisations.
(4)
All regional fishery management organisations adopted the principle of publishing an IUU vessel list and update their respective list at their annual meetings (5).
(5)
According to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, upon the receipt from regional fisheries management organisations of the lists of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in the IUU fishing, the Commission shall update the Union list.
(6)
The Commission has received the updated lists from the annual meetings of the regional fisheries management organisations.
(7)
Considering that the same vessel might be listed under different names and/or flags depending on the time of its inclusion on the regional fisheries management organisations lists, the updated Union list should include the different names and/or flags as established by the respective regional fisheries management organisations.
(8)
Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Part B of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

(2014/740/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 209(2) in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’),
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:

At the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, the Parties to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement called for a more direct private sector engagement in order to advance innovation, create income and jobs, promote SMEs and entrepreneurship, mobilise domestic resources and further develop innovative financial mechanisms.
(2)
Taking into account the above and the evolution of the international context, in particular the considerable number of actors and modalities capable of providing effective private sector support, related programmes are to be implemented through organisations that have shown their capacity to provide high quality expertise in a cost-effective way.
(3)
At its 39th session held on 19 and 20 June 2014 in Nairobi, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers agreed, in a Joint Declaration, to proceed with the orderly closing of the Centre for the Development of Enterprise (‘CDE’) and the amendment of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and, for this purpose, decided to grant a delegation of powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to take the matter forward with a view to adopting the necessary decisions.
(4)
The position of the Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors regarding the mandate to be given to the Executive Board of the CDE should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision,
