COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/119

of 26 January 2022

repealing Decision 2004/613/EC concerning the creation of an advisory group on the food chain and animal and plant health

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2004/613/EC (1) established the advisory group on the food chain and animal and plant health. This group has been consulted by the Commission on its work programme on food and feed safety, food and feed labelling and presentation, human nutrition in relation to food legislation, animal health and welfare, and plant health as well as on any measure which the Commission had to take or propose in the above policy areas.

(2) On 20 May 2020, the Commission adopted the Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system (2).

(3) In the implementation of the Farm to Fork Strategy, consultations are to be made with stakeholders having expertise in health, nutrition, marketing, environment, climate, sustainable agriculture, agronomy, fisheries, aquaculture and social sciences areas, as well as digital transformation and finance areas pertaining to food systems.

(4) Hence, the issues relating to the implementation of the Farm to Fork Strategy go beyond the expertise of the group as currently provided for in Decision 2004/613/EC. Therefore, to ensure an enlarged expert participation in those policy areas, it is necessary to set up a new informal expert group with enlarged membership and tasks.

(5) In light of the above, it is necessary to repeal Decision 2004/613/EC.

(6) As the mandate of the members of the current advisory group expires on 14 July 2022, this Decision should apply from the following day,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 Decision 2004/613/EC is repealed.

Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day after that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 15 July 2022.

Done at Brussels, 26 January 2022. For the Commission The President Ursula VON DER LEYEN

COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2022/2442

of 12 December 2022

amending Decision (CFSP) 2022/151 on a European Union action to support the evacuation of certain particularly vulnerable persons from Afghanistan

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and in particular Article 28(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1) On 3 February 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2022/151 (1).

(2) The European External Action Service (EEAS) has organised and managed, since 1 June 2021, the evacuation of Afghans, in particular of those who had worked for the EU Special Representative in Afghanistan, appointed by Council Joint Action 2001/875/CFSP (2), or for EUPOL AFGHANISTAN, established by Council Joint Action 2007/369/CFSP (3), of other particularly vulnerable Afghans who had collaborated with the Union, and of their dependent close relatives.

(3) A list of persons eligible for evacuation under Decision (CFSP) 2022/151 (the ‘list’) has been established and updated by the EEAS.

(4) Due to the situation in Afghanistan, the evacuation of persons on the list, who are still at risk while in Afghanistan, cannot be completed by 31 December 2022.

(5) The action under Decision (CFSP) 2022/151 should be extended until 31 December 2023 to enable the evacuation of particularly vulnerable persons on the list,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 In Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2022/151, in the introductory sentence, the date ‘31 December 2022’ is replaced by the date ‘31 December 2023’.

Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Brussels, 12 December 2022. For the Council The President J. BORRELL FONTELLES

(1) Council Decision (CFSP) 2022/151 of 3 February 2022 on a European Union action to support the evacuation of certain particularly vulnerable persons from Afghanistan (OJ L 25, 4.2.2022, p. 11).

(2) Council Joint Action 2001/875/CFSP of 10 December 2001 concerning the appointment of the Special Representative of the European Union (OJ L 326, 11.12.2001, p. 1).

(3)

In view of the situation, it is appropriate to introduce a new deadline for the derogation allowing the divestment by a specific listed entity. That new deadline does not retroactively validate divestments not compliant with the necessary requirements under Decision 2014/145/CFSP, such as unauthorised divestments after the entity was listed. It is also appropriate to extend to two newly listed entities the derogation from the asset freeze and from the prohibition to make funds and economic resources available, in order to allow the termination of operations, contracts, or other agreements, previously concluded with those entities. In order to further address food security concerns in third countries, it is appropriate to introduce a new derogation allowing to unfreeze assets of, and to make funds and economic resources available to, certain individuals who held a significant role in international trade in agricultural and food products, including wheat and fertilisers, prior to their listing. To avoid circumvention, national competent authorities are entrusted with authorising such operations. In doing so, they should act in close cooperation with the Commission, in order to ensure a uniform implementation across the Union. National competent authorities can take inspiration from the United Nations and World Food Programme priorities to tackle food insecurity around the globe. That derogation is without prejudice to other restrictive measures imposed by the Union on Russia and on other countries and to the respective national security concerns of Member States.
