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 58(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
At its eleventh meeting held in Geneva from 28 April to 10 May 2013, the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal (‘Basel Convention’) adopted decision BC-11/6 amending Annex IX of the Basel Convention. Annex IX to the Basel Convention is listed in Annex V, Part 1, List B to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. The amendment, which includes two new waste entries, becomes effective upon expiration of six months from 26 November 2013 in accordance to Article 18(2)(b) of the Basel Convention.
(2)
The waste streams described by the two new entries B3026 and B3027 correspond to those of three existing entries of Annex IIIB to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. Those entries are BEU01, BEU02 and BEU03. The first and second subindents of entry B3026 correspond to entries BEU02 and BEU03, respectively. Entry B3027 corresponds to entry BEU01.
(3)
To take account of decision BC-11/6, entries B3026 and B3027 need to be inserted in Annex V, Part 1, List B to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. At the same time, entries BEU01, BEU02 and BEU03 should be deleted from Annex IIIB to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, which contains unclassified wastes on a provisional basis pending a decision on their inclusion in the relevant Annexes to the Basel Convention or to the Decision of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
(4)
At the same meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention adopted by decision BC-11/15 sections 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the guidance document on environmentally sound management of used and end-of-life computing equipment. Following this adoption, Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should be updated accordingly.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes IIIB, V and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
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.
It shall apply from 26 May 2014.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1101/2012

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
With the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), new CN codes apply to gas and fuel oils containing biodiesel. These changes may affect the mineral oil industry because certain mixing operations under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones are not permitted anymore as ‘usual forms of handling’ because they result in a different eight-digit CN code.
(2)
A solution should be found to allow mixing of gas or fuel oils not containing biodiesel with gas or fuel oils containing biodiesel, classified in Chapter 27 of the CN, under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones to continue as before the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 on 1 January 2012.
(3)
Mixing gas or fuel oils with biodiesel should be allowed, so that separate storage of both types of goods is not required. However, taking account of the Additional Note 2 in Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature the mixture obtained should contain less than 0,5 %, by volume, of biodiesel or gas or fuel oils respectively.
(4)
Annex 72 to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The amendment should enter into force with retroactive effect in order to allow for extinguishing customs debts which were incurred since 1 January 2012 because of the introduction of the new CN codes.
(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
Annex 72 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
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.
It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 (3) lays down requirements for the coordinated introduction of data link services based on air-ground point-to-point data communications.
(2)
Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 defines the airspace above FL285 in which that Regulation applies from 5 February 2015.
(3)
Croatia joined the European Union on 1 July 2013. The Croatian airspace should therefore be duly added to the airspace in which Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 applies.
(4)
A transition period of one year, compared to the date of application of 5 February 2015 that applies for the other Member States covered under Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 29/2009, should however be provided for Croatia, through a deferred application of this Regulation, to enable regulated parties, such as operators and air traffic service (ATS) providers, to prepare for the application of the new rules.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 29/2009, a new line ‘- Zagreb FIR,’ is inserted after the line ‘- Warszawa FIR,’.
