Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2019/1720 of 14 October 2019 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Nicaragua (1),

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

Whereas:

(1) On 14 October 2019, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2019/1720 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1716 (2) concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Nicaragua.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2022/2057

of 13 October 2022

amending Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 opening and providing for the management of autonomous Union tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the 2021-2023 period

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Union supplies of certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries. Over recent decades, the Union has become more dependent on imports to meet its consumption of fishery products. In order not to jeopardise the Union production of fishery products and to ensure an adequate supply to the Union processing industry, import duties should be suspended or reduced for a number of fishery products within tariff quotas of an appropriate volume.

(2) Council Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 (1) opens and provides for the management of autonomous Union tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the period 2021-2023. Appropriate volumes have been decided for each tariff quota to ensure an adequate supply to the Union processing industry for that period.

(3) On 19 July 2021, Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 was amended by Council Regulation 2021/1203 (2) adding, among others, new quotas valid until 31 October 2022, due to the expiry of bilateral protocols with the Republic of Iceland and with the Kingdom of Norway providing for quotas for certain fish and fishery products.

(4) However, the negotiations of new additional protocols with the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway providing for quotas for certain fish and fishery products will not be concluded before 31 October 2022.

(5) It is therefore necessary to establish new quotas valid until the end of the application of Regulation (EU) 2020/1706.

(6) For reasons of urgency in order to avoid a shortage of duty-free fisheries materials for processing in the Union, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 The Annex to Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 1 November 2022.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Luxembourg, 13 October 2022. For the Council The President P. BLAŽEK

(1) Council Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 of 13 November 2020 opening and providing for the management of autonomous Union tariff quotas for certain fishery products for the 2021-2023 period (OJ L 385, 17.11.2020, p. 3).

(2) Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1203 of 19 July 2021 amending Regulation (EU) 2020/1706 as regards inclusion of autonomous Union tariff quotas for certain fishery products (OJ L 261, 22.7.2021, p. 1).

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/2526

of 23 September 2022

amending Regulation (EU) 2017/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the temporary storage of mercury waste in liquid form

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 on mercury, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 (1), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2017/852 establishes that mercury and mercury compounds, whether in pure form or in mixtures and originating from four large sources specified in that Article are to be considered as waste within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), which are destined for final disposal.

(2) Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/852 requires that mercury waste, including waste produced by the four concerned large sources, is to undergo, prior to final disposal, specific treatment operations, i.e. conversion and, where intended to be permanently disposed of in above-ground facilities, conversion and solidification.

(3) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/852 allows, by way of derogation from Article 5(3), point (a), of Council Directive 1999/31/EC (3), that mercury waste in liquid form pending conversion and solidification is temporarily stored in dedicated and equipped landfills until 31 December 2022, in accordance with the requirements on environmental and human health protection set out in Directive 1999/31/EC.

(4) Information reported by Member States in May 2022 indicated that over 2 000 tonnes of liquid mercury waste remained in temporary storage in the Union and that the conversion and solidification of that waste required more time. The extension of the period allowed for such a storage until 31 December 2025 is considered necessary to ensure that the temporary storage in landfills continues to take place in accordance with the applicable requirements set out in Directive 1999/31/EC.

(5) Regulation (EU) 2017/852 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 In Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/852, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following: ‘The derogation set out in the first subparagraph shall cease to apply as from 1 January 2026.’

Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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, 23 September 2022. For the Commission The President Ursula VON DER LEYEN

Therefore, the product is to be classified under CN code 2309 90 31 as other preparation of a kind used in animal feeding, containing less than 10 % by weight of starch.

Classification under heading 2302 is also excluded because the product is not a residue of the sifting, milling or other working of leguminous plants (see the Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 2302 , Item (C)). The product has been deliberately produced from pea flour. It is further processed and exclusively used as animal fodder (see also the Harmonized System General Explanatory Note to Chapter 23).

The product has lost the essential characteristics of the original material by means of fractioning in a centrifugal separator. Therefore, classification under heading 1106 as flour of a dried leguminous vegetable, as well as classification as further prepared vegetable product of heading 2005, is excluded.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 to Chapter 23 and the wording of CN codes 2309 , 2309 90 and 2309 90 31 .

The product is recognisably and exclusively used as animal fodder.

The product is produced from dried peas (Pisum sativum), which are washed, hulled and milled to obtain pea flour. The flour is then separated into a protein-rich and a starch-rich fraction in a centrifugal separator. After that process, the protein-rich fraction is either left in powder form or agglomerated into pellets.

Protein-rich fraction from the separation of pea flour into a protein-rich and a starch-rich fraction presented in the form of a beige, fine powder or in the form of pellets, in small bags (15 to 20 kg) or big bags (500 to 1 000 kg).

2) Starch-rich fraction from the separation of pea flour into a protein-rich and a starch-rich fraction, presented in the form of a light-yellow powder or in the form of pellets, in bulk or in big bags (25 to 1 000 kg). The product has the following analytical characteristics (dry weight contents): — 73 % of starch — 13 % of proteins The product is produced from dried peas (Pisum sativum), which are washed, hulled and milled to obtain pea flour. The flour is then separated into a protein-rich and a starch-rich fraction in a centrifugal separator.
