COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/304

amending Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 as regards fixing representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 183(b) thereof,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/525

of 1 April 2022

correcting certain language versions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 on the rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 57 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Portuguese language version of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 (2) contains errors in Article 11(5)(a), as well in Appendix 1, Chapter I, Attachment A, point 1(a)(viii), of the Annex and in Appendix 3, point 4(b), of the Annex, that alter the meaning of the provisions.

(2) The German language version of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 contains an error in Article 14(5)(a)(i) that alters the meaning of the provision.

(3) The German and Portuguese language versions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 should therefore be corrected accordingly. The other language versions are not affected.

(4) Given the need to have the same level playing field for all operators, the overriding interest of the integrity of the internal market as well as the need for legal certainty, this Regulation should apply from 31 December 2020.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 (does not concern the English language)

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. It shall apply from 31 December 2020.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 1 April 2022. For the Commission The President Ursula VON DER LEYEN

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 of 24 May 2019 on the rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft (OJ L 152, 11.6.2019, p. 45.).

In addition, specific models of covered bond issuance apply in some Member States, characterised by specific legal requirements imposed to covered bonds issuers to protect investors and going beyond those listed in the Directive (EU) 2019/2162. Those covered bonds issuers that are subject to such specific legal requirements carry out similar covered bonds issuances activities than other cover bonds issuers in the EU, and as a consequence have a similar liquidity risk profile. They also provide a high degree of protection to covered bonds issuers notably via the recourse to non-mandatory overcollateralisation for the issuance of their covered bond programmes. However, all the assets of these covered bond issuers would be attached to cover pools and therefore considered encumbered, making them unavailable and ineligible for the purpose of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) liquidity buffer. That situation would make those covered bonds issuers breaching their LCR requirement laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 and thus create an uneven playing field between issuers despite the similarity of their prudential profile. In order to meet mandatory and non-mandatory overcollateralisation requirements for the purpose of the issuance of a covered bond programme, those covered bonds issuers are operationally constrained to issue junior debt. The general net liquidity outflow of those issuers is higher than the net liquidity outflow stemming from the sole covered bonds issued. In this context, additional amendments should be introduced to allow in some specific and limited situations to recognise as unencumbered the assets held in the cover pool in order to meet non-mandatory overcollateralisation requirements. In order to ensure that such an extension of the recognition of assets held in a cover pool as unencumbered is prudentially sound and consistent with the LCR requirements, covered bond issuers should fulfil several conditions. In particular, only covered bond issuers which are obliged by the virtue of a legal requirement of national law to attach all their assets to covered bonds issuances can benefit from that provision, up to the volume of assets necessary to meet the total net liquidity outflow of the covered bonds issuer.

Whereas:

(1) On 20 September 2016, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2016/1686.

(2) In view of the continued threat posed by ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaeda, and natural and legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them, three persons and one group should be added to the list of natural and legal persons, entities and bodies set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2016/1686.

Regulation (EU) 2022/109 implemented in Union law the revised catch limits for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) Area of Competence. The revised catch limits under IOTC resolution 2021/01 are no longer limited to purse seiners and now include all gears involved in the yellowfin tuna fishery. Since, by the end of 2021, an agreement among the Member States concerned had not been found on the most appropriate way to share the revised catch limits for these fishing opportunities, Regulation (EU) 2022/109 attributed, for the first half of 2022 as a provisional solution, an initial portion (50 %) of the Union share for yellowfin tuna in the IOTC area for 2022 to Member States. Given the need to allocate the Union fishing opportunities for yellowfin tuna in the IOTC Area of Competence to the Member States so that they can be fished by the Union fishing fleet in 2022, it is necessary for the Council to decide on the final allocation of these fishing opportunities that otherwise could not be fished. Since a small amount of yellowfin tuna is caught as by-catch by the longline fleet of Portugal, it was agreed that it is appropriate to allocate 100 tonnes to Portugal for those by-catches. Taking into account that catches by other gears than purse seiners represent a very limited part of the overall catches, it is appropriate to allocate these fishing opportunities, with the exception of those 100 tonnes, in accordance with the allocation key that previously existed for the TAC for purse seiners.
