COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/72/EU

of 13 March 2014

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 solders and termination finishes of electrical and electronic components and finishes of printed circuit boards used in ignition modules and other electrical and electronic engine control systems

(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) Ignition modules and other electrical and electronic combustion engine control systems, which have to be mounted close to the moving parts of handheld tools and which are indispensable for the operation of the engine, are exposed to high vibrations and intense thermal stress. These harsh environmental conditions require the use of lead. Neither the substitution nor the elimination of lead in these components is technically practicable.

(3) Manufacturers need additional time to make possible lead-free alternatives technically practicable and to demonstrate reliability. The use of lead in solders and termination finishes of electrical and electronic components and finishes of printed circuit boards used in ignition modules and other electrical and electronic engine control systems should therefore be exempted from the prohibition until 31 December 2018. This is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.

(4) 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 bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

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.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE (EU) 2016/774

of 18 May 2016

amending Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles (1), and in particular Article 4(2)(b),

Whereas:

(1) Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in materials and components of vehicles put on the market after 1 July 2003.

(2) Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC lists vehicle materials and components exempted from the prohibition set out in Article 4(2)(a) thereof. Exemptions 8(e), 8(f), 8(g), 8(h), 8(j) and 10 (d) of Annex II shall be reviewed in 2014.

(3) An assessment of technical and scientific progress has demonstrated that the use of lead in the applications covered by exemptions 8(h), 8(j) and 10(d) should not be prolonged because the use of lead in these applications has become avoidable.

(4) The assessment of technical and scientific progress has also demonstrated that the use of lead in the applications covered by exemptions 8(e), 8(f) and 8(g) remains unavoidable as substitutes have not become available yet. However, since information exists on possible future lead substitutes in these applications, it is appropriate to introduce a review date allowing to establish if the use of lead in these applications can be discontinued.

(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

1. Member States shall adopt and publish, within six months of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union 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.

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.

DECISION No 23-63 of 11 December 1963 requiring Community iron and steel undertakings to make returns to the High Authority of the transactions in which they align their quotations on those of undertakings outside the Community

THE HIGH AUTHORITY,

Having regard to Article 47 and to the last subparagraph of Article 60 (2) (b) of the Treaty;

Whereas under the last subparagraph of Article 60 (2) (b) Community undertakings may allow rebates on their list prices so as to align their quotations on those of undertakings outside the Community but must make returns of such transactions to the High Authority which, in the event of abuse, may restrict or abrogate the right of the undertakings concerned to benefit from this exception;

Whereas it has been found that there has been considerable delay in making such returns to the High Authority and that the information supplied has not allowed a valid assessment to be made ; whereas it is therefore necessary to require Community iron and steel undertakings to make returns of such transactions to the High Authority within three days of the making of the contract and to include certain particulars therein;

DECIDES:

Article 1

1. Iron and steel undertakings shall within three days of entering into any transaction in which they align their quotations on those of undertakings outside the Community make returns thereof to the High Authority.

2. Returns shall contain the following particulars: (a) Date of the contract;

(b) Products to be supplied, indicating tonnage, quality and dimensions;

(c) Country of destination of products to be supplied;

(d) Particulars of the non-Community undertaking's quotation, including date, country of origin, quantity and terms of payment;

(e) Delivered price of the non-Community undertaking's products at destination (duty-paid or duty-free, including or excluding taxes, temporary importation);

(f) The Community undertaking's own delivered price at destination;

(g) Agreed aligned price at destination;

(h) Difference from the Community undertaking's own delivered price, expressed as a percentage.

Article 2

This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall enter into force on 20 January 1964.

This Decision was considered and adopted by the High Authority at its meeting on 11 December 1963.
