(notified under document C(2014) 559)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/69/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 14(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
A number of Member States requested to apply derogations to the common aviation safety rules contained in rules implementing Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. Pursuant to Article 14(6) of that Regulation, the Commission services assessed the need for, and the level of protection emerging from, the derogations requested, based on recommendations from EASA. The Commission concluded that the variation would provide a level of protection equivalent to the one attained by application of the common aviation safety rules, provided certain conditions are met. The assessment of each derogation, and the conditions attached to their application, are described in separate Annexes to this Decision authorising these derogations.
(2)
In accordance with Article 14(7) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, a derogation granted to one Member State shall be notified to all Member States, which shall also be entitled to apply that derogation.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/12/EU
of 18 October 2013
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in solders on printed circuit boards of detectors and data acquisition units for Positron Emission Tomographs which are integrated into Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment
(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)
Strong vibrations occur in Positron Emission Tomographs which are integrated into Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Research has shown that lead-free solders that have been investigated for vibration susceptibility are more vulnerable to early failure under the severe vibration conditions than bonds made with tin/lead solder. The specific conditions and geometrical restrictions of the equipment restrict the applicability of mechanical measures that could eliminate or sufficiently mitigate the effects of the intense vibration.
(3)
Substitution or elimination of lead is currently scientifically and technically impracticable. A temporary exemption is needed to allow manufacturers sufficient time for research to identify suitable lead-free materials and designs.
(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.

The planning and execution of the tasks conferred on the ECB should be fully undertaken by an internal body composed of its Chair and Vice Chair and four representatives of the ECB and one representative of the national competent authority in each participating Member State (‘Supervisory Board’).
(3)
The Supervisory Board should be an essential body in the exercise of supervisory tasks by the ECB, tasks which until now have always been in the hands of national competent authorities.
