COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1207

of 15 July 2019

implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 of 30 August 2017 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing Regulation (EC) No 329/2007 (1), and in particular Article 47(2) thereof,

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

Whereas:

(1) On 30 August 2017, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2017/1509.

(2) In accordance with Article 47a(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1509, the Council reviewed the list of designated persons and entities set out in Annexes XV, XVI, XVII and XVIII to that Regulation.

(3) One person who was listed both in Annexes XIII and XV should be removed from Annex XV. The entry concerning one entity in Annex XVI should be updated.

(4) Annexes XV and XVI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the date following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(1) OJ L 224, 31.8.2017, p. 1.
(14)

The Commission observed that ‘rebalancing measures’ and anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures fundamentally pursue different policy objectives and so do not fall within the scope of a review seeking to assess the proportionality of combined anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures alongside safeguard measures introduced by Regulation (EU) 2019/159. In this regard, it is recalled that anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures seek to tackle ‘unfair’ trade actions from particular operators or countries. In contrast thereto, ‘rebalancing measures’ seek to equilibrate the balance of concessions and obligations between the Union and another WTO member by way of suspension of substantially-equivalent concessions or other obligations (7) after unilateral action taken by that WTO member disturbing said balance of concessions and obligations. This is also reflected in the different legal bases of the latter measures, namely Regulation (EU) No 654/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8). However, the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/477, which constitutes the legal basis for this Regulation, specifically relates solely to the combined effect of anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures and safeguard measures on the same product categories listed in Annex 1.A. Given the different underlying situation and purpose of these different measures, a suspension of the ‘rebalancing measures’ concerned falls outside the scope of this review. The combined effect of safeguard and rebalancing measures can therefore not be addressed under the specific legal framework of Regulation (EU) 2015/477. The claim was accordingly rejected.
COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION 2019/1755

of 8 August 2019

amending the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (1), and in particular Articles 3(4), 4(1) and 5(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 establishes a common classification of territorial units to enable the collection, compilation and dissemination of harmonised regional statistics in the Union.

(2) The Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 list the territorial units to be used for statistics.

(3) In accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003, amendments to the NUTS classification are to be adopted in the second half of the calendar year, and usually not more frequently than every three years.

(4) The NUTS classification was last amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2066 (2).

(5) According to the information provided to the Commission by Member States, the territorial division of several Member States has changed since the NUTS classification was last amended.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Annexes I,II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

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. In accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003, it shall apply for the transmission of data to the Commission (Eurostat) from 1 January 2021.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 8 August 2019. For the Commission The President Jean-Claude JUNCKER

(1) OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1.

(2) Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2066 of 21 November 2016 amending the annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 322, 29.11.2016, p. 1).
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/1691

of 9 October 2019

amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

(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 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 131 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 contains a list of substances that are exempt from the obligation to register in accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of that Regulation.

(2) Digestate is a residual semisolid or liquid material that has been sanitised and stabilised by a biological treatment process, of which the last step is an anaerobic digestion step, and where the inputs used in that process are biodegradable materials originating only from non-hazardous source segregated materials, such as food waste, manure and energy crops. Biogas resulting from the same process as digestate or from other anaerobic digestion processes, as well as compost resulting from the aerobic decomposition process of similar biodegradable materials, are already listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Therefore, digestate that is either not waste or has ceased to be waste should also be listed in that Annex, as it is inappropriate and unnecessary to require that substance to be registered and as its exemption from Titles II, V and VI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 does not prejudice the objectives of that Regulation.

(3) So far, no registrations have been submitted for digestate. The listing of digestate in Annex V of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should clarify that digestate is exempted from registration, for reasons analogous to those that justify the existing exemption of compost and biogas, thereby removing uncertainties encountered by producers and users of digestate and by enforcement authorities.

(4) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

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, 9 October 2019. For the Commission The President Jean-Claude JUNCKER

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/1858

of 6 November 2019

amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products

(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 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The substance 4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one (CAS Number 569646-79-3), which has been assigned the name Hydroxyethoxyphenyl Butanone (HEPB) under the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, has the function of preservative and skin conditioning. It is currently not listed in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

(2) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) concluded in its opinion of 7 April 2017 (2) that, under an aggregate exposure scenario, HEPB can be considered safe when used as a preservative in rinse off, oral care and leave-on cosmetic products at a maximum concentration of 0,7 %. The SCCS also concluded that more evidence would be needed to exclude eye irritation.

(3) Following concerns raised by several Member States on HEPB as a potential eye irritant and additional scientific data submitted to it by the applicant, the SCCS concluded in its opinion of 5 March 2019 (3) that, under an aggregate exposure scenario, the use of HEPB as a preservative in rinse-off, oral care and leave-on cosmetic products at a maximum concentration of 0,7 % is safe with regard to eye irritation.

(4) In light of the opinions mentioned above and in order to take into account technical and scientific progress, HEPB should be allowed for use as a preservative in rinse off, oral care and leave-on cosmetic products at a maximum concentration of 0,7 % in ready for use preparation.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

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, 6 November 2019. For the Commission The President Jean-Claude JUNCKER

(7)

It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of CCT duties for certain products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. The suspensions for those products should therefore be deleted. Moreover, according to the communication from the Commission of 13 December 2011 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas, for practical reasons requests for tariff suspensions or quotas where the amount of uncollected customs duty is estimated to be less than EUR 15 000 per year cannot be taken into consideration. The mandatory review of the existing suspensions has indicated that imports in relation to 70 products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 do not reach that threshold. Those suspensions should therefore be withdrawn. Furthermore, another three suspensions should be withdrawn as a result of the implementation of the agreement in the form of the Declaration on the Expansion of Trade in Information Technology Products (2), which reduced the duty rate for the products concerned to zero.
