COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 16 June 2014
amending Implementing Decision 2011/778/EU authorising certain Member States to provide for temporary derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 2000/29/EC in respect of seed potatoes originating in certain provinces of Canada
(notified under document C(2014) 3878)
(Only the Greek, Italian, Maltese, Portuguese and Spanish texts are authentic)
(2014/368/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Implementing Decision 2011/778/EU (2) provides for a derogation for the importation of seed potatoes originating in certain provinces of Canada into Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Malta and Portugal subject to certain conditions.
(2)
The derogation granted by Implementing Decision 2011/778/EU was limited in time. Portugal has asked for an extension of that derogation. The situation justifying that derogation remains unchanged and the derogation should therefore continue to apply. It is reasonably expected that imported potatoes will continue to comply with Union legislation. Furthermore, appropriate mechanisms are established in this Decision to ensure the monitoring of the conditions of application of the derogations. Therefore it is appropriate to extend the authorisations for derogations granted in this Decision for a longer period than the ones granted by previous Decisions and namely until 31 March 2024.
(3)
Implementing Decision 2011/778/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Implementing Decision 2011/778/EU is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 1(2), point (c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c)
for the potato-marketing seasons from 1 December to 31 March of each year until 31 March 2024.’;
(2)
Article 15 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 15
The authorisation to provide for derogations referred to in Article 1 shall be revoked prior to 31 March 2024 if:
(a)
the provisions laid down in Articles 2 to 13:
(i)
are shown to be insufficient to prevent the introduction into the Union of the harmful organisms referred to in Article 2; or
(ii)
have not been complied with;
(b)
there are elements which would militate against the proper functioning of the “pest free area” concept in Canada.’
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Malta and the Portuguese Republic.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 6 May 2014
amending Decision 2009/935/JHA as regards the list of third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements
(2014/269/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/371/JHA of 6 April 2009 establishing the European Police Office (Europol) (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 26(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/934/JHA of 30 November 2009 adopting the implementing rules governing Europol's relations with partners, including the exchange of personal data and classified information (2), and in particular Articles 5 and 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 30 November 2009, the Council adopted Decision 2009/935/JHA (3).
(2)
Since the determination of the list of the third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements referred to in point (a) of Article 26(1) of Decision 2009/371/JHA (the ‘list’) is linked to the external relations of the Union and its Member States, that point confers on the Council implementing powers to determine the list. Pursuant to Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2009/935/JHA, the list is set out in the Annex to Decision 2009/935/JHA.
(3)
It is for Europol's Management Board to review the list when necessary and to decide whether to propose to the Council amendments thereto.
(4)
In its meeting of 3-4 October 2012, Europol's Management Board decided to recommend to the Council that it add certain third States to the list, outlining the operational need to conclude cooperation agreements with those third States.
(5)
It is most important that Europol initiate the procedure for the conclusion of a cooperation agreement giving priority to Georgia, given the commitments in the framework of the Eastern Partnership established in 2009, the initialling in November 2013 of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Georgia, and the EU-Georgia Association agenda, as well as the EU-Georgia Visa Liberalisation Action Plan.
(6)
