COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 733/2014
of 24 June 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 concerning the export for recovery of certain waste to certain non-OECD countries
(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 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular Article 37 thereof,
After consultation of the countries concerned,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 the Commission periodically updates Commission Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 (2) concerning the export for recovery of certain waste to certain countries to which the OECD Decision on the control of transboundary movements of wastes (‘the OECD decision’ (3)) does not apply. The Commission has sent a written request to each country to which the OECD decision does not apply seeking confirmation in writing that waste and mixtures of wastes listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, the export of which is not prohibited under Article 36 of that Regulation, may be exported from the European Union for recovery in that country and requesting an indication as to which control procedure, if any, would be followed in the country of destination. The Commission has received replies from seventy-four countries. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 should be amended to take into account those replies.
(2)
On 13 February 2013, the OECD Council approved the Opinion of the Environment Policy Committee regarding the compliance by Israel with the OECD decision. Consequently, Article 37(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 does not apply to that country anymore and the entry for Israel should therefore be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007.
(3)
New Zealand is a country to which the OECD decision applies. Therefore, Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 does not apply to that country and the entry for New Zealand should be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the fourteenth 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.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 26 November 2014
amending Decision 2005/818/EC, Euratom authorising the Republic of Hungary to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document C(2014) 8923)
(Only the Hungarian text is authentic)
(2014/842/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation EEC, Euratom No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 386 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Hungary may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2)
In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Hungary requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Hungary has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Hungary should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3)
For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4)
It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 2005/818/EC, Euratom (4) accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In Decision 2005/818/EC, Euratom the following Article 1a is inserted:
‘Article 1a
By way of derogation from Article 1 of this Decision, for the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Hungary is authorised to use 0,18 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B, (passenger transport) to Council Directive 2006/112/EC (5).
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to Hungary.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 20 October 2014
amending Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Portugal and Slovakia
(notified under document C(2014) 7516)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/732/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides that Member States, third countries or regions thereof (‘countries or regions’) are to be classified according to their bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status into one of three categories: negligible BSE risk, controlled BSE risk and undetermined BSE risk.
(2)
The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE status.
(3)
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of countries or regions according to their BSE risk. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC takes account of Resolution No 20 - Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Member Countries - adopted by the OIE in May 2013.
(4)
In May 2014, the OIE adopted Resolution No 18 - Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Member Countries (3). In addition to the Member States already listed in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC, that Resolution recognised Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Portugal, Romania and Slovakia as having a negligible BSE risk.
(5)
In June 2014, the OIE suspended (4) the negligible BSE risk status for Romania, with effect from 27 June 2014, following a report received from the OIE Delegate of Romania on the detection of a BSE case in Romania.
(6)
The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to be brought into line with the Resolution No 18 adopted by the OIE in May 2014 and to take account of the subsequent OIE decision to suspend the negligible BSE risk status for Romania.
(7)
Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 365/2014
of 7 April 2014
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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)
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.
(2)
In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to clarify the scope of the Combined Nomenclature as regards subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, which cover ‘egg yolks’.
(3)
The expression ‘otherwise preserved’ in the terms of heading 0408 should, for the purposes of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, cover the use of limited amounts of salt or chemicals for preservation purposes as long as the salt or chemicals do not affect the character of those products. Salt or chemicals should not be used at a level higher than is necessary to achieve the preservation of the products having regard to commonly used production methods for products of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19. In principle, an amount of salt of up to 12 % by weight or minor amounts of other preservation agents do not change the character of egg yolks and can be accepted under subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19.
(4)
A new Additional note should therefore be added in Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.
(5)
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the following Additional note 2 is added:

The expression “otherwise preserved” also applies to egg yolks with limited amounts of salt (in general, an amount of up to around 12 % by weight) or minor amounts of chemicals added for preservation purposes provided that both of the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i)
the products retain the character of egg yolks of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19;
(ii)
salt or chemicals may not be used at a level higher than is necessary for purposes of preservation.’
