of 29 January 2013

amending Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 on the list of aircraft operators that performed an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on or after 1 January 2006 specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator also taking into consideration the expansion of the Union emission trading scheme to EEA-EFTA countries

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 18a(3)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) amended Directive 2003/87/EC to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the European Union.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 (3) establishes a list of aircraft operators which had performed an aviation activity as defined in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC on or after 1 January 2006.

(3) That list aims to reduce the administrative burden on aircraft operators by providing information on which Member State will be regulating a particular aircraft operator.

(4) The inclusion in the Union’s emissions trading scheme is dependent upon the performance of an aviation activity as set out in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC and is not dependent on the inclusion in the list of aircraft operators established by the Commission on the basis of Article 18a(3) of that Directive.

(5) Directive 2008/101/EC was incorporated into the Agreement on the European Economic Area by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 6/2011 of 1 April 2011, amending Annex XX (Environment) to the EEA Agreement (4).

(6) The expansion of the aviation provisions of the Union emission trading scheme to EEA-EFTA countries and the criteria set under Article 18a(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC to determine aircraft operator’s administering Member State imply that certain aircraft operators should be administered by EEA-EFTA countries.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,

correcting the Polish version of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 on marketing standards for olive oil

Whereas:

(1) The Polish version of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 of 13 January 2012 on marketing standards for olive oil (2) contains an error. The text of the first of the two labels provided for in point (d) of the second paragraph of Article 3 of that Regulation incorrectly refers to ‘the pomace obtained after the extraction of olive oil’ instead of ‘the product obtained after the extraction of olive oil’. In consequence the meaning of both labels in the Polish version of the Regulation overlaps.

(2) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

(3) In order to avoid any prejudice to the interests of those economic operators who have complied with the incorrect obligation provided for by the Polish version of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012, they should be allowed to continue using incorrect labels for a certain period. In order to minimise the duration of that period, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Concerns only the Polish version.

Article 2

Products which have been manufactured and labelled in the Union or imported into the Union and put into free circulation in accordance with the Polish version of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 before the entry into force of this Regulation may be marketed until 2 February 2014.

Whereas:
