adapting Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2012 as regards the number of samples to be taken and analysed by Croatia for the pesticide/product combinations

Whereas:

(3) As data from only half a year would not be fully comparable with those of other Member States collected during the whole year 2013, Croatia should participate to the coordinated multiannual programmes of the Union as from January 2014.

(4) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2012 should therefore be adapted accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In point (5) of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 788/2012, the following row is inserted after the row for Hungary:

‘HR 12 (*) 15 (**)’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.

The following Article is inserted: "Article 2a 1. Annex I shall include the natural or legal persons, entities or bodies designated by the Sanctions Committee or the United Nations Security Council as: (a) persons or entities acting in violation of the arms embargo and related measures as laid down in Article 1 of Decision 2010/788/ CFSP and Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 889/2005 of 13 June 2005 imposing certain restrictive measures in respect of the Democratic Republic of Congo (4), (b) political and military leaders of foreign armed groups operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who impede the disarmament and the voluntary repatriation or resettlement of combatants belonging to those groups, (c) political and military leaders of Congolese militias receiving support from outside the DRC, who impede the participation of their combatants in disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration processes, (d) political and military leaders operating in the DRC and recruiting or using children in armed conflict contrary to applicable international law, (e) individuals or entities operating in the DRC and committing serious violations involving the targeting of children or women in situations of armed conflict, including killing and maiming, sexual violence, abduction, and forced displacement, (f) individuals or entities obstructing the access to or the distribution of humanitarian assistance in the eastern part of the DRC, (g) individuals or entities illegally supporting armed groups in the eastern part of the DRC through illicit trade of natural resources, including gold, (h) individuals or entities acting on behalf of or at the direction of a designated individual or entity owned or controlled by a designated individual, (i) individuals or entities who plan, sponsor or participate in attacks against peacekeepers of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO). 2. Annex I shall include the grounds for listing natural or legal persons, entities or bodies, as provided by the UN Security Council or by the Sanctions Committee. 3. Annex I shall also include, where available, information necessary to identify the natural or legal persons, entities and bodies concerned, as provided by the UN Security Council or by the Sanctions Committee. With regard to natural persons, such information may include names, including aliases, date and place of birth, nationality, passport and identity card numbers, gender, address, if known, and function or profession.

Authorisation may also legitimately be withheld if health claims do not comply with other general and specific requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, even in the case of a favourable scientific assessment by the Authority. The Authority concluded that for one claim on the effect of L-arginine (16) on the maintenance of normal ammonia clearance and for another claim on the effect of L-tyrosine (17) on the normal synthesis of catecholamines a cause and effect relationship has been established. The Commission and the Member States have considered whether health claims reflecting those conclusions should be authorised. On the basis of the data submitted and of the current scientific knowledge, the Authority concluded that no conditions of use can be defined which would accompany the health claim on L-arginine (18), while for the health claim on L-tyrosine, the Authority proposed as appropriate conditions of use that ‘a food should be at least a source of protein as per Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006’ (19). In the Authority’s response of 9 November 2012 to the request of the Commission for clarification, the Authority noted that its conclusions for those claims were based on the known biochemical role of the two amino acids, as contained in protein. It added that it could not provide a quantitative indication of the necessary daily intake of L-tyrosine and L-arginine per se to produce the respective beneficial physiological effects. Accordingly, it is not possible to establish specific conditions for the use of those claims to ensure that the amino acids are contained in the final product in a quantity that will produce the respective beneficial physiological effects in accordance with point (i) of Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. In the absence of such specific conditions of use the beneficial effect of the substance to which the claim relates cannot be assured. Therefore, those claims could be misleading the consumer and should not be included in the lists of permitted health claims.
