on adapting and extending the period of application of the measures in Decision 2002/148/EC concluding consultations with Zimbabwe under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) and revised in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on 23 June 2010 (2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 96 thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
By Council Decision 2002/148/EC (4), the consultations with the Republic of Zimbabwe under Article 96(2)(c) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement were concluded and appropriate measures, as specified in the Annex to that Decision, were taken.
(2)
Pursuant to Council Decision 2010/97/CFSP (5), the measures referred to in the Annex to Decision 2002/148/EC were adapted and their period of application was extended for 12 months until 20 February 2011.
(3)
The creation of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zimbabwe was recognised as an opportunity to re-establish a constructive relationship between the European Union and Zimbabwe and to support the implementation of Zimbabwe’s reform programme.
(4)
However, this is being undermined by the lack of progress by the GNU to implement certain essential elements of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, to which the GNU had committed itself in the Global Political Agreement (GPA).
(5)
The period of application of the measures referred to in Decision 2002/148/EC should therefore be extended. The measures should constantly be reviewed in light of concrete progress on the ground.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The measures referred to in the letter annexed to this Decision are hereby extended as appropriate measures within the meaning of Article 96(2)(c) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement.

of 15 March 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 as regards the conditions of use of benzoic acid (holder of authorisation Emerald Kalama Chemical BV)
(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The preparation benzoic acid, belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use in weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 (2) and for use in pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1138/2007 (3).
(2)
In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of the preparation benzoic acid as feed additive for weaned piglets to delete the condition regarding inclusion of that preparation in compound feed via premixture and to modify the conditions regarding complementary feedingstuffs. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).
(3)
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 6 September 2011 (4) that there is no reason to continue to restrict the inclusion of the preparation benzoic acid to compound feed via premixtures. It considered the restrictions on the use of the additive in complementary feed established by Regulation (EC) No 1138/2007 as being sufficient and applicable to weaned piglets.
(4)
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 4 October 2011
amending Decision 2008/185/EC as regards the inclusion of Belgium in the list of Member States free of Aujeszky’s disease
(notified under document C(2011) 6997)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/648/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to trade in the Union in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.
(2)
Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States. Those guarantees are linked to the classification of Member States according to their Aujeszky’s disease status.
(3)
Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited. Annex II to that Decision lists Member States or regions thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease are in place.
(4)
Belgium is currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, as a Member State where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease have been implemented.
(5)
Belgium has now submitted documentation in support of its application to declare that Member State free from Aujeszky’s disease.
(6)
Following the evaluation of the supporting documentation submitted by that Member State, it is appropriate that Belgium be no longer listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, but instead be listed in Annex I thereto.
(7)
Decision 2008/185/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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
Annexes I and II to Decision 2008/185/EC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 September 2011
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for applications containing lead or cadmium
(notified under document C(2011) 6309)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/534/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2002/95/EC prohibits the use of lead and cadmium in electrical and electronic equipment put on the market after 1 July 2006.
(2)
The substitution of lead in PZT based dielectric ceramic materials for capacitors being part of integrated circuits or discrete semiconductors is still technically impracticable. The use of lead in those materials should therefore be exempted from the prohibition.
(3)
The substitution of cadmium in photoresistors for analogue optocouplers applied in professional audio equipment is still technically impracticable. The use of cadmium in those photoresistors should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. However, that exemption should be limited in time as the research for cadmium free technology is in progress and substitutes could become available within the next 3 years.
(4)
Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.
