Whereas:
(1)
Directive 98/70/EC sets environmental specifications as well as analytical methods for petrol and diesel fuels placed on the market.
(2)
Those analytical methods refer to certain standards established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Since CEN has replaced those standards by new ones due to technical progress, it is appropriate to update the references to those standards in Annexes I and II to Directive 98/70/EC.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 72/2014
of 27 January 2014
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013 as regards deductions from the 2013 Portuguese quota for redfish in NAFO area 3LN
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), (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Following the publication of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013 (2), the Portuguese fisheries industry discovered a mistake in the published 2012 catch figures for redfish in NAFO (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization) area 3LN.
(2)
The Portuguese fisheries authorities noticed that the catch reports on which these 2012 catch figures are based were not correctly transmitted to the Commission. This was confirmed by an independent audit.
(3)
On the basis of the corrected data transmitted by Portugal on 14 November 2013, it appears that the Portuguese quota for redfish in NAFO area 3LN (RED/N3LN) was overfished by a lower amount than that taken into account for the purpose of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013.
(4)
The deduction from the 2013 Portuguese quota for redfish in NAFO area 3LN should therefore be corrected as regards figures concerning the overfishing of the quota concerned.
(5)
Considering that this Implementing Regulation is amending deductions already operated on the redfish in NAFO area 3LN quota for 2013, its provisions should apply retroactively from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013.
(6)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013 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.
However, it shall apply from 15 August 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:
(1)
African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2)
In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3)
Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.
(4)
Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.
(5)
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.
(6)
Accordingly, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(7)
Commission Implementing Decision 2014/100/EU (4) should be confirmed following consultation of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Poland shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 30 April 2014.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.
