Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2)
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 949/2014
of 4 September 2014
laying down temporary exceptional measures for the milk and milk product sector in the form of extending the public intervention period for butter and skimmed milk powder in 2014
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 7 August 2014 the Russian government introduced a ban on imports of certain products from the Union to Russia, including milk and milk products. This ban has resulted in a threat of market disturbances with the potential for significant price falls due to the fact that an important export market has suddenly become unavailable.
(2)
Accordingly, a situation has arisen on the market in which the normal measures available under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 appear to be insufficient.
(3)
Article 12(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that public intervention for butter and skimmed milk powder shall be available from 1 March to 30 September.
(4)
In order to prevent a significant deterioration of the prices and market disturbances it is essential that public intervention is also available after 30 September 2014.
(5)
It is therefore appropriate to extend the intervention buying-in period for butter and skimmed milk powder to 31 December 2014.
(6)
In order to have an immediate impact on the market and to contribute to stabilise prices, the temporary measure provided for in this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 12(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 the period during which public intervention for butter and skimmed milk powder is available in 2014 shall be extended to 31 December 2014.
Article 2
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.
Done at Brussels, 4 September 2014.

Having regard to the recommendation of the Council of the European Union (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas:

The Union approved the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (the ‘Rotterdam Convention’) by Council Decision 2006/730/EC (1).
(2)
Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) implements the Rotterdam Convention in the Union.

In order to ensure that importing countries benefit from the protection offered by the Rotterdam Convention, it is necessary and appropriate to support the recommendation from the Chemical Review Committee as regards the inclusion in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention of chrysotile asbestos, methamidophos, trichlorfon, fenthion (ultra low volume (ULV) formulations at or above 640 g active ingredient/l) and liquid formulations (emulsifiable concentrate and soluble concentrate) containing paraquat dichloride at or above 276 g/l, corresponding to paraquat ion at or above 200 g/l. Those substances are already banned or severely restricted in the Union and are therefore subject to export requirements which go beyond what is required under the Rotterdam Convention.
