COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/6
of 31 October 2014
amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council in order to take into account the evolution of the mass of new passenger cars registered in 2011, 2012 and 2013
(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 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The average mass value used for the purpose of calculating the specific emissions of CO2 for each new passenger car is to be adjusted every three years to take into account any changes in the average mass of the new vehicles registered in the Union.
(2)
It is evident from the monitoring of the mass in running order of new passenger cars registered in calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013 that the average mass has increased and that the figure M0 referred to in point 1(b) of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should therefore be adjusted.
(3)
Exceptionally for this first adjustment, it is appropriate to take into account that the quality of the data monitored in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 has differed. The new value should therefore be determined by taking into account only those mass values that it has been possible to verify by the manufacturers concerned, whilst excluding values from the calculation that were obviously incorrect, i.e. values exceeding 2 840 kg or lower than 500 kg as well as values relating to vehicles that did not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. The new value is moreover based on the weighted average taking into account the number of new registrations in each of the reference years.
(4)
Against that background, the M0 value to be applied from 1 January 2016 should be increased by 20,4 kg from 1 372,0 to 1 392,4,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Point 1(b) of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is replaced by the following:
‘(b)
From 2016:
Specific emission of CO2 = 130 + a × (M - M0)
Where:
M
=
mass of the vehicle in kilograms (kg)
M0
=
1 392,4
a
=
0,0457’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

(1)
Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, Germany’s application to register the name ‘Dithmarscher Kohl’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).

of 8 April 2013
adopting the programme of ad-hoc modules, covering the years 2016 to 2018, for the labour force sample survey provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 of 9 March 1998 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 577/98, it is necessary to specify the elements of the programme of ad-hoc modules covering the years 2016 to 2018.
(2)
The Europe 2020 strategy and its flagship initiative ‘Youth on the Move’ call for further information on the situation of young people on the labour market. The 2011 Commission Communication on a ‘Youth Opportunities Initiative’ (2) encourages action at European level in several priority fields linked to getting a first job.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 836/2014
of 31 July 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 42 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2) allows exceptionally, until 31 December 2014, under certain conditions and when organically reared pullets are not available, for non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks to be brought into an organic livestock unit.
(2)
The development of harmonised organic production rules for young poultry at Union level is complex, as views on technical requirements vary widely. In order to allow more time to establish detailed rules for the production of organic pullets, the exceptional provision for using non-organic pullets should be extended for three years.
(3)
Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 allows exceptionally, for calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014, for a maximum of 5 % of non-organic protein feed to be used for porcine and poultry species.
(4)
Organic protein supply has not been available in sufficient quality and quantity on the Union market to meet the nutritional requirements of pigs and poultry raised on organic farms. The production of organic protein crops is still lagging behind demand. It is therefore appropriate to extend the exceptional possibility of using a limited proportion of non-organic protein feed for a limited time period.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory committee on organic production,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:
(1)
In Article 42(b), the date ‘31 December 2014’ is replaced by the date ‘31 December 2017’.
(2)
In Article 43, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
‘The maximum percentage of non-organic protein feed authorised per period of 12 months for those species shall be 5 % for calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017.’
Article 2
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1415/2013
of 17 December 2013
adjusting, from 1 July 2013, the rate of contribution to the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the European Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union, laid down in Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), and in particular Article 83a thereof and Annex XII thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Article 13 of Annex XII to the Staff Regulations, Eurostat submitted a report on the 2013 five-yearly actuarial assessment of the pension scheme updating the parameters referred to in that Annex. According to this assessment, the rate of contribution required to maintain actuarial balance of the pension scheme is 10,3 % of the basic salary.
(2)
In the interests of the actuarial balance of the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the Union, the rate of contribution should therefore be adjusted to 10,3 % of the basic salary.
(3)
However, in the light of recent and future judgments in the cases on the 2011 and 2012 adjustment of salaries and pensions and in the case on the 2011 adjustment of the rate of contribution to the pension scheme, the result of this adjustment may be subject to change. The implementation of those judgments may have an impact on the calculation of the rates of contribution for the years 2012 and 2013 and thus require the Council to re-adjust the said rates of contribution with retroactive effect. Where applicable, this may lead to a recovery of overpaid sums from staff,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
With effect from 1 July 2013, the rate of the contribution referred to in Article 83(2) of the Staff Regulations shall be 10,3 %.
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.

The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by giving more detailed information on the product description, the proof of origin, the method of production, etc. (the competent inspection authority).
(3)
The Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since the amendments are minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve them without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 to 52 of that Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2)
On 4 September 2013 the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided to remove one entity from its list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply after considering a de-listing request submitted by this entity and the Comprehensive Report of the Ombudsperson established pursuant to UNSC Resolution 1904(2009).
