Information communicated by Member States regarding closure of fisheries

(2020/C 190/04)

In accordance with Article 35(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Union control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), a decision has been taken to close the fishery as set down in the following table:

Date and time of closure 11.5.2020 Duration 11.5.2020–31.12.2020 Member State France Stock or Group of stocks ANF/8C3411 Species Anglerfish (Lophiidae) Zone 8c, 9 and 10; Union waters of CECAF 34.1.1 Type(s) of fishing vessels — Reference number 05/TQ123

Notice to importers concerning the application of the Registered Exporter System within the framework of the Overseas Association Decision

(2020/C 197/03)

By virtue of Council Decision 2013/755/EU (1) on the association of the overseas countries and territories (‘OCTs’) with the European Union (‘Overseas Association Decision’ – OAD), the European Union grants trade preferences to the OCTs. Annex VI of that Decision concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. Council Decision (EU) 2019/2196 (2), of 19 December 2019, totally replaced the text of Annex VI, with a date of application starting on 1 January 2020.

As from 1 January 2020, in accordance with Article 21 (General Requirements) and Article 26 (Statement on origin and information for cumulation purpose) of Annex VI of the OAD, preferential tariff treatment is granted at import in the European Union only on presentation of a statement on origin made out, either by a registered exporter, or by any exporter where the total value of the originating products consigned does not exceed EUR 10 000.

As from 1 January 2020, certificates of origin EUR.1 issued by the competent authorities in an OCT before 1 January 2020, or origin declarations made out by an exporter in an OCT before 1 January 2020 are not valid proofs of origin to grant the benefit of the preferential tariff treatment of the OAD in the European Union.

For the application of the system of registered exporters (the REX system), an OCT has to comply with the two pre-requisites laid down in Articles 36 and 39 of Annex VI of the OAD. An OCT which does not have fulfilled the two pre-requisites is not able to apply the REX system, and as a consequence is not in a position to benefit from the OAD preferential tariff treatment until it has fulfilled the two pre-requisites.

In order to comply with the obligation of publication under Article 37 of Annex VI of the OAD, detailed information about the dates of application of the REX system by all OCTs is available on the Europa Website (3). The operators are encouraged to consult this website on a regular basis to check whether and when the OCTs are able to apply the REX system.

Notice of request concerning the applicability of Article 34 of Directive 2014/25/EU – End of the suspension of the period for adoption of implementing acts

(2020/C 211/03)

On 1 March 2018 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1).

This request, made by Finavia Oyj, concerns activities relating to the provision of businesses premises for commercial actors providing commercial services (duty free, retail, food and beverages and other passenger services) for flight passengers at Helsinki airport’s terminals in Finland. The relevant notices were published on page 21 of OJ C 114 on 28 March 2018, on page 9 of OJ C 359 on 5 October 2018 and on page 25 of OJ C 48 on 12 February 2020.

On 5 October 2018 the Commission asked the Applicant to provide additional information by 9 October 2018 at the latest. As announced in the notice that was published on page number 9 of OJ C 48 on 12 February 2020, the final deadline was prolonged by 52 working days after the receipt of the complete and correct information. The information was received on 22 April 2020.

The final deadline therefore expires on 8 July 2020.

Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2020/C 221/04)

Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

9505 Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including conjuring tricks and novelty jokes

On page 414

The following text is added after the existing text:

‘This heading also includes transparent balloons made of plastics combined/decorated with battery operated LED garlands. After filling the balloon with air, the end is tightened in a knot. Additional decorative elements can be added inside (such as feathers, confetti, etc.) or attached on the outside, for example, ribbons. The balloons can be equipped with a handle, which is attached to the base of the balloon, to hold them in the hand or a string linked to a weight to use them as a room decoration. They are made of more resistant material than simple balloons and are thus suitable for repetitive use. The balloons serve as entertainment articles or as decorative items in a room for various occasions such as weddings, birthdays, public or private events. Simple balloons with LED lasting for a short period, for example 24 hours, with an inscription identifying an occasion, for example, “Merry Christmas” remain classified under this heading. However, simple balloons with LED lasting for a short period but without an inscription are excluded (classification as “other toys” under heading 9503).’

Point 15bis is replaced by the following: ‘15bis Nevertheless, aid on the basis of Article 107(2)(b) TFEU must compensate for damage directly caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, such as damage directly caused by restrictive measures precluding the beneficiary, de jure or de facto, from operating its economic activity or a specific and severable part of its activity (*1). Such measures can include measures which require the complete cessation of an economic activity (e.g. closure of bars, restaurants or non-essential shops), or its cessation in certain areas (e.g. restrictions of flights or other transport to or from certain points of origin or destination (*2)). The exclusion of certain highly material categories of clients (e.g. leisure travellers as far as concerns hotels, school trips as far as concerns dedicated youth accommodation) also constitutes measures that create a direct link between the exceptional occurrence and damage resulting from the exclusion of those client categories. Restrictive measures allowing the award of compensation under Article 107(2)(b) TFEU can also include measures capping attendance for specific sectors or activities (e.g. entertainment, trade fairs, sports events) at levels demonstrably and materially below those that would be dictated, in that specific setting, by generally applicable social distancing rules or rules on capacity in commercial spaces (e.g. because it does not appearè sufficiently certain that protocols can be devised and successfully applied to ensure respect for the generally applicable measures in such settings). Such caps on attendance may amount to a de facto restriction where economic mitigation measures entail cessation of all or a sufficiently substantial part of the affected activity (*3). By contrast, other restrictive measures (for instance, general social distancing measures or general sanitary constraints, including measures merely translating such general requirements in terms specific to the characteristics of certain sectors or types of venues) would not seem to meet the requirements of Article 107(2)(b) TFEU. In the same vein, other kinds of aid addressing more generally the economic downturn from the COVID-19 outbreak are to be assessed under the different compatibility basis of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU, and therefore in principle on the basis of this Temporary Framework. (*1) An indicative, non-exhaustive list of Commission decisions concerning aid measures authorised under Article 107(2)(b) TFEU is available at https://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/what_is_new/covid_19.html" (*2) See, e.g., the Commission’s proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 as regards temporary relief from the slot utilisation rules at Community airports due to the COVID-19 pandemic, COM/2020/818 final."
