COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE (EU) 2017/1011

of 15 March 2017

amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in white glasses used for optical applications

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.

(2) Lead-based glasses are used because they have unique combinations of properties and characteristics, such as light transmission performance, optical dispersion, thermal conductivity, birefringence and others.

(3) Lead-free optical glasses of alternative designs exist in the form of lead-free glass, plastic lenses and alternative equipment design. Nonetheless, those alternatives that cannot provide for several properties and their combinations comparable to lead-based glasses.

(4) Where finding substitutes was relatively straightforward, this has already occurred and substitutes are being used. Alternatives for the remaining applications are still not available. Thus substitution for the full application range is not possible in general. Lead in white glasses used for optical applications should therefore be exempted until 21 July 2021 for categories 1 to 7 and 10. In view of the innovation cycles for this type of optical applications, the duration of this exemption is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.

(5) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 6 July 2018 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

They shall apply those provisions from 6 July 2018.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Article 3

This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Article 4

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

DECISION No 18-64 of 9 December 1964 extending the period of validity of Decision No 24-63 of 11 December 1963 requiring undertakings in the Community steel industry to make returns to the High Authority of transactions involving rebates or special prices for indirect export

THE HIGH AUTHORITY,

Having regard to Articles 47 and 60 of the Treaty;

Having regard to Decision No 24-63 of 11 December 1963 requiring undertakings in the Community steel industry to make returns to the High Authority of transactions involving rebates or special prices for indirect export (Official Journal of the European Communities No 187 of 24 December 1963, p. 2977/63 et seq);

Whereas under Decision No 24-63 undertakings in the Community steel industry are required to make written returns to the High Authority of all transactions involving rebates or special prices for indirect export to steel processing undertakings in the Community which export all or part of their production to countries outside the Community ; whereas from these returns it should be possible to ascertain whether and to what extent such rebates or special prices are compatible with the prohibition of discrimination under Article 60 of the Treaty and what publication rules apply ; whereas Decision No 24-63 is due to expire on 31 December 1964;

Whereas during the first nine months of 1964, undertakings in the steel industry have applied rebates or special prices for indirect export to a much lesser extent ; whereas the transactions concerned are of varied character and show substantial differences in the extent and amount of the rebates ; whereas it is therefore desirable to continue to gather the information needed for the purpose of appraising this class of transactions and to extend the validity of Decision No 24-63 beyond 31 December 1964;

DECIDES:

Article 1

The words "it shall expire on 31 December 1964" in Article 2 of Decision No 24-63 are hereby deleted.

Article 2

This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall enter into force on 1 January 1965.

This Decision was considered and adopted by the High Authority at its meeting on 9 December 1964.

Whereas, the second subparagraph of Article 227 (2) provides that the Council shall determine the conditions under which the provisions of the Treaty other than those referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 227 (2), and in particular the provisions of Article 51 of the Treaty, are to apply to the French overseas departments;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 1 of and Annex A to Regulation No 3 3 on social security for migrant workers, that Regulation applied to the French overseas departments and to Algeria ; whereas, however, Regulation No 109/65/EEC 4 of 30 July 1965 removed Algeria from Annex A to Regulation No 3;
