amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead as an alloying element for bearings and wear surfaces in medical equipment exposed to ionising radiation

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

of 10 October 2014

amending Annex II to Directive 2014/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing the library of picture warnings to be used on tobacco products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2014/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products and repealing Directive 2001/37/EC (1), and in particular Article 10(3)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 10 of Directive 2014/40/EU provides that each unit packet and any outside packaging of tobacco products for smoking is to carry combined health warnings unless exempted in accordance with Article 11. The combined health warnings are to contain, inter alia, one of the text warnings listed in Annex I and a corresponding colour photograph specified in the picture library in Annex II to that Directive.

(2) Directive 2014/40/EU also empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts to establish and adapt the picture library in Annex II taking into account scientific and market developments.

(3) Therefore, Annex II to Directive 2014/40/EU should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex II to Directive 2014/40/EU is replaced in accordance with 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 20 May 2016 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

They shall apply those provisions from 20 May 2016.

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.

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

Corrigendum to Council Directive (EU) 2018/1695 of 6 November 2018 amending Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax as regards the period of application of the optional reverse charge mechanism in relation to supplies of certain goods and services susceptible to fraud and of the Quick Reaction Mechanism against VAT fraud

( Official Journal of the European Union L 282 of 12 November 2018 )

On page 7, Article 1, the following point is added:
(17)

Late payments for agricultural and food products, including late payments for perishable products, and short notice cancellations of orders of perishable products impact negatively on the economic viability of the supplier, without providing off-setting benefits. Such practices should therefore be prohibited. In that context, it is appropriate to provide for a definition of perishable agricultural and food products for the purposes of this Directive. The definitions used in Union acts relating to food law relate to different objectives, such as health and food safety, and are therefore not appropriate for the purposes of this Directive. A product should be considered perishable if it can be expected to become unfit for sale within 30 days from the last act of harvesting, production or processing by the supplier, regardless of whether the product is further processed after sale, and regardless of whether the product is handled after sale in accordance with other rules, in particular food safety rules. Perishable products are normally used or sold quickly. Payments for perishable products that are made later than 30 days after delivery, 30 days after the end of an agreed delivery period where products are delivered on a regular basis, or 30 days after the date on which the amount payable is set, are not compatible with fair trading. In order to provide increased protection to farmers and their liquidity, suppliers of other agricultural and food products should not have to wait for payment longer than 60 days after delivery, 60 days after the end of an agreed delivery period where products are delivered on a regular basis, or 60 days after the date on which the amount payable is set. Those limitations should only apply to payments related to the sale of agricultural and food products, and not to other payments such as supplementary payments by a cooperative to its members. In accordance with Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), it should also be possible to consider the date on which the amount payable for an agreed delivery period is set, for the purposes of this Directive, as the date of the issuance of the invoice or the date of its receipt by the buyer.
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE (EU) 2020/432

of 23 March 2020

amending Council Directive 2002/55/EC with regard to the definition of vegetables and the list of genera and species in Article 2(1)(b)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990 (2), which amended Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2002/55/EC, the definition of ‘vegetables’ preceding the table in that Article was erroneously deleted. As a result, Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2002/55/EC no longer contains a definition of ‘vegetables’, which is an essential part of that Directive.

(2) Directive 2002/55/EC should therefore be corrected accordingly.

(3) For reasons of legal certainty, the transposition date set out in this Directive should match the transposition date set out in Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990.

(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1 Amendment to Directive 2002/55/EC Directive 2002/55/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2 Transposition 1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2020 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof. They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2020. 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 Addressees This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

(2) Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990 of 17 June 2019 amending the list of genera and species in Article 2(1)(b) of Council Directive 2002/55/EC, in Annex II to Council Directive 2008/72/EC and in the Annex to Commission Directive 93/61/EEC (OJ L 160, 18.6.2019, p. 14).
COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE (EU) 2021/1206

of 30 April 2021

amending Annex III to Directive 2014/90/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on marine equipment as regards the applicable standard for laboratories used by conformity assessment bodies for marine equipment

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2014/90/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on marine equipment and repealing Council Directive 96/98/EC (1), and in particular Article 36 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2014/90/EU requires that conformity assessment bodies are to comply with the requirements laid down in Annex III in order to become notified bodies.

(2) Conformity assessment bodies are to ensure that testing laboratories used for conformity assessment purposes meet the requirements of standard EN ISO/IEC 17025.

(3) Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of laboratories.

(4) In 2017, ISO published a revision to standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 and has withdrawn the previous version of the standard, which could still be used during a three-year long transition period ending in November 2020.

(5) The reference made in Directive 2014/90/EU to standard EN ISO/IEC 17025 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1 In point 19 of Annex III to Directive 2014/90/EU, the reference to standard ‘EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005’ is replaced by a reference to ‘EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017’.

Article 2 1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 January 2022 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.

Member States shall report, to the Commission and the other Member States, by 31 December of each year, until 31 December 2030, on the number of applications for variety registrations and results of the examinations for distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) concerning those organic varieties’; (b) in paragraph 3, the following second and third subparagraphs are added: ‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, as regards the value for cultivation or use, organic varieties suitable for organic production, which belong to the species listed in Annex IV, Part A, may, comply instead with the conditions laid down in Part B of that Annex.; Member States shall report, to the Commission and the other Member States, by 31 December of each year, until 31 December 2030, on the number of applications and results of the examinations for the value of cultivation and use (VCU) concerning those organic varieties’;
