of 19 February 2015
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014 as regards deductions from the 2014 Dutch fishing quota for skates and rays in Union waters of ICES areas IIa and IV
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 105(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014 (2) provides for a deduction from the 2014 Dutch fishing quota for skates and rays in Union waters of ICES areas IIa and IV (‘the 2014 Dutch quota’) on account of overfishing in the year 2013.
(2)
Following the publication of that Regulation, the Dutch authorities discovered that the data in the catch reports on which the deduction was based had not been correctly transmitted, as corroborated by the evidence available to the Commission.
(3)
On the basis of the corrected data transmitted by the Netherlands on 12 December 2014, it appears that the 2013 Dutch quota was not overfished.
(4)
The deduction from the 2014 Dutch quota should therefore be corrected.
(5)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014 should be amended accordingly.
(6)
Considering that the deduction from the 2014 Dutch quota applies from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014, this Regulation should apply retroactively from the same date,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 19 August 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, Germany’s application to register the name ‘Westfälischer Knochenschinken’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).
(2)
As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the name ‘Westfälischer Knochenschinken’ should therefore be entered in the register,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1091/2014
of 16 October 2014
approving tralopyril as a new active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 90(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The United Kingdom has received on 17 July 2007 an application, in accordance with Article 11(1) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), for the inclusion of the active substance tralopyril in its Annex I for use in product-type 21, antifouling products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(2)
Tralopyril was not on the market on 14 May 2000 as an active substance of a biocidal product.
(3)
The United Kingdom submitted the assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 1 September 2009 in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(4)
The opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 8 April 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.
(5)
It appears from that opinion that biocidal products used for product-type 21 and containing tralopyril may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC provided that certain specifications and conditions relating to its use are satisfied.
(6)
It is therefore appropriate to approve tralopyril for use in biocidal products for product-type 21 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.
(7)
Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8)
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements laid down.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Tralopyril shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
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.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 24 April 2014
on measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of harmful organisms as regards certain fruits and vegetables originating in India
(notified under document C(2014) 2601)
(2014/237/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 the third sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Plant health checks carried out by Member States on consignments of certain plants and plant products of Indian origin revealed a high number of interceptions due to the presence of harmful organisms mainly Tephritidae (non-European), Thrips palmi Karny or Bemisia tabaci Genn. The number of consignments from India intercepted with harmful organisms in the Union has shown an upward trend since 2010. Most of the interceptions concern plants other than seeds and roots of Colocasia Schott and plants other than seeds of Mangifera L., Momordica L., Solanum melongena L. and Trichosanthes L. (hereinafter ‘the specified commodities’).
(2)
Audits carried out by the Commission in India, in particular in 2010 and 2013, revealed shortcomings in the phytosanitary export certification system. Despite assurances and action taken by India, the number of interceptions increased further in 2013.
(3)
In the light of the outcome of those audits and the number of interceptions, it has been concluded that the current phytosanitary safeguards of India are insufficient to ensure that consignments are free from harmful organisms or to address the risk of introduction of harmful organisms into the Union through the import of the specified commodities.
(4)
Measures should be taken to address the risk posed by the import into the Union of the specified commodities originating in India. Consequently, the introduction into the Union of the specified commodities originating in India should be prohibited.
(5)
The measures should remain in place until 31 December 2015 in order to address the ongoing risk of introduction, while allowing India to upgrade its certification system.
(6)
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
The introduction into the territory of the Union of plants other than seeds and roots of Colocasia Schott and plants other than seeds of Mangifera L., Momordica L., Solanum melongena L. and Trichosanthes L., originating in India shall be prohibited.
Article 2
This Decision shall expire on 31 December 2015.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
