Nothwithstanding paragraph 3, the Governing Council, exercising sound and reasoned judgement, may also decide under paragraph 2 that a payment system shall be identified as a SIPS in either of the following cases: (a) where such a decision would be appropriate taking into account the nature, size and complexity of the payment system; the nature and importance of its participants; the substitutability of the payment system and the availability of alternatives to it; and the relationship, interdependencies, and other interactions the system has with the wider financial system; (b) where a payment system does not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 3 solely because the criteriaestablished in point (b) of paragraph 3 occur over a period of less than a calendar year and it is plausible that the payment system will continue to meet the criteria when assessed in the next verification review.’; (c) paragraph 3a is replaced by the following: ‘3a. A decision adopted under paragraph 2 shall remain in force until it has been repealed. Verification reviews of payment systems that have been identified as SIPS shall be carried out on an annual basis to verify that the payment systems continue to meet the criteria for being identified as SIPS. A decision adopted pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be repealed if: (a) in two consecutive verification reviews it is verified that a SIPS has not met the criteria set out in paragraph 3 and/or paragraph 3-a; or (b) in one verification review it is verified that a SIPS has not met the criteria set out in paragraph 3 and/or paragraph 3-a and the SIPS operator demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Governing Council, that the SIPS is unlikely to meet those criteria prior to the next verification review.’; (d) the following paragraph 3b is inserted: ‘3b. The payment system operator shall have the right to request a review by the Governing Council of the decision identifying the payment system concerned as a SIPS within 30 days of receipt of that decision. The request shall include all supporting information and shall be addressed in writing to the Governing Council. A reasoned decision by the Governing Council in response to such request shall be notified in writing to the payment system operator. The written notice shall inform that operator of its right of judicial review in accordance with the Treaty. If no decision has been taken by the Governing Council within two months of the request, the review shall be deemed rejected. ’

In addition, in June 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals was observed in the olsztyński district in Poland in an area currently listed as a restricted zone III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605, located in close proximity to an area currently listed in restricted zone II. This new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Poland currently listed as restricted zone II in that Annex, that is in close proximity to an area listed in restricted zone III affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone III in that Annex instead of as restricted zone II thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone II also need to be redefined to take account of this recent outbreak.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1909

of 4 November 2021

implementing Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/44 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2016/44 of 18 January 2016 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya and repealing Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 (1), and in particular Article 21(1) thereof,

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

Whereas:

(1) On 18 January 2016 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2016/44.

(2) On 25 October 2021 the United Nations Security Council ('UNSC') Committee established pursuant to UNSC Resolution 1970 (2011) added one person to the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/2002

of 15 November 2021

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/90 fixing for 2021 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Mediterranean and Black Seas

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EU) 2021/90 (1) fixes for 2021 the fishing opportunities for fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. That Regulation implements in Union law the multiannual management plan for turbot fisheries in the Black Sea (geographical subarea 29) adopted by Recommendation GFCM/41/2017/4 of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), as amended by Recommendation GFCM/43/2019/3 of the GFCM.

(2) At its 44th annual meeting in 2021, the GFCM adopted a decision observing that during the year 2020, the European Union had underexploited its quota for turbot and approving a carry-over of the unused quota in view of the exceptional situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The GFCM decision should be implemented in Union law.

(3) The distribution of fishing opportunities in the Black Sea established in Regulation (EU) 2021/90 should therefore be amended to reflect the adjustments to the Union quotas established by the GFCM. The distribution of the fishing opportunities arising from the under-utilisation should be carried out on the basis of the respective contribution of each Member State towards the under-utilisation, without modifying the distribution key established in Regulation (EU) 2021/90 concerning the annual allocation of total allowable catches (TACs).

(4) Regulation (EU) 2021/90 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) The catch limits provided for in Regulation (EU) 2021/90 apply from 1 January 2021. The provisions introduced by this Regulation concerning those catch limits should therefore enter into force as soon as possible and apply retroactively from 1 January 2021. Such retroactive application does not affect the principles of legal certainty and the protection of legitimate expectations, as the fishing opportunities concerned are increased and have not yet been exhausted. For reasons of urgency, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Amendment of Regulation (EU) 2021/90 Annex VII to Regulation (EU) 2021/90 is amended as set out in 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 January 2021.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 15 November 2021. For the Council The President J. PODGORŠEK
