COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 365/2014

of 7 April 2014

amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

(2) In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to clarify the scope of the Combined Nomenclature as regards subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, which cover ‘egg yolks’.

(3) The expression ‘otherwise preserved’ in the terms of heading 0408 should, for the purposes of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, cover the use of limited amounts of salt or chemicals for preservation purposes as long as the salt or chemicals do not affect the character of those products. Salt or chemicals should not be used at a level higher than is necessary to achieve the preservation of the products having regard to commonly used production methods for products of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19. In principle, an amount of salt of up to 12 % by weight or minor amounts of other preservation agents do not change the character of egg yolks and can be accepted under subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19.

(4) A new Additional note should therefore be added in Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.

(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the following Additional note 2 is added:

‘2. For the purposes of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19 the following applies: The expression “otherwise preserved” also applies to egg yolks with limited amounts of salt (in general, an amount of up to around 12 % by weight) or minor amounts of chemicals added for preservation purposes provided that both of the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) the products retain the character of egg yolks of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19; (ii) salt or chemicals may not be used at a level higher than is necessary for purposes of preservation.’

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. Done at Brussels, 7 April 2014. For the Commission, On behalf of the President, Algirdas ŠEMETA Member of the Commission

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (2) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

(2) Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.

(4) Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 provides for the possibility to add indicative maps of the trans-European transport network extended to specific neighbouring countries based on high-level agreements on transport infrastructure networks between the Union and the neighbouring countries concerned.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 684/2014

of 20 June 2014

concerning the authorisation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens (holder of the authorisation DSM Nutritional products Ltd)

(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 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of a canthaxanthin. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of canthaxanthin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to stabilise the reproductive performance of breeder hens. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(5) The assessment of the preparation of canthaxanthin shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Authorisation

The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 697/2014

of 24 June 2014

amending Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 as regards its period of application

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 246/2009 of 26 February 2009 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices between liner shipping companies (consortia) (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 (2) grants a block exemption to liner shipping consortia from the prohibition contained in Article 101(1) of the Treaty, subject to certain conditions. That Regulation will expire on 25 April 2015, in accordance with the maximum 5-year duration provided for in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 246/2009. On the basis of the Commission's experience in applying the block exemption, it appears that the justifications for a block exemption for consortia are still valid and that the conditions on the basis of which the scope and content of Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 were determined have not substantially changed.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 simplified and introduced substantial modifications to the rules applicable to consortia. Since the new legal framework has been in place and applied for only a short period of time, further changes should be avoided at this stage. This will avoid increasing the compliance costs of the operators in the industry.

(3) The period of application of Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 should therefore be extended by five years,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 ‘25 April 2015’ is replaced by ‘25 April 2020’.

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. It shall apply from 25 April 2015.

(1) OJ L 79, 25.3.2009, p. 1. With effect from 1 December 2009, Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty have become respectively Articles 101 and 102 TFEU.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 of 28 September 2009 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices between liner shipping companies (consortia) (OJ L 256, 29.9.2009, p. 31).
