COMMISSION NOTICE

Availability and applicability of a guidance document to implement Points 3.6.5 and 3.8.2 of Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards endocrine disrupting properties

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2018/C 340/03)

The ‘Guidance for the identification of endocrine disruptors in the context of Regulations (EU) No 528/2012 and (EC) No 1107/2009’ (1) was developed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) with the support of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). It provides guidance to applicants and assessors of competent regulatory authorities on how to apply the scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine-disrupting properties introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 (2). These scientific criteria are applicable from 10 November 2018 to on-going and future applications for approval or renewal of active substances, safeners or synergists under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

During the development of this guidance document, EFSA and ECHA consulted on several occasions Member States, stakeholders, and the general public. In addition, Member States discussed case-studies in a workshop organised by the European Commission, EFSA and ECHA for this purpose on 1-2 February 2018. Furthermore, the final draft of the guidance document was discussed at the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (Section Phytopharmaceuticals — Legislation) on 25 May 2018. The development of the guidance and the comments received by the agencies are documented and published by EFSA and ECHA.

On 5 June 2018, EFSA and ECHA adopted the guidance document and published it on 7 June 2018. Consequently, the guidance document is available before the scientific criteria laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/605 become applicable.

In consultation with the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and aiming at a harmonised and efficient application of the scientific criteria introduced by Regulation (EU) 2018/605, the Commission notifies that the published guidance document is to be used for the purposes of application of points 3.6.5 and 3.8.2 of Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as of the date of application of Regulation (EU) 2018/605 (10 November 2018).

Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006

Third-country nationals wishing to travel to Luxembourg must provide evidence that they have sufficient means of subsistence to cover their needs. The reference amount required to travel to Luxembourg is that of the minimum wage for an unskilled worker calculated in proportion to the number of days of the planned stay.

As of 1 January 2018 the minimum wage per day is approximately EUR 67.

As proof of sufficient personal resources both for the planned length of stay and for return to the country of origin or transit to another country, third-country nationals must have approximately EUR 67 per day of the planned stay. Proof of the required resources can be provided in the form of cash, traveller’s cheques or credit cards and a document attesting the possibility of legally acquiring the necessary resources.

A statement of financial liability may also constitute proof that the applicant has sufficient means of subsistence, provided it is endorsed by the competent service, namely the Luxembourg Office for Passports, Visas and Legalisation. The statement of financial liability must cover subsistence expenses, including healthcare, and the cost of the third-country national’s return for a specified length of time.

In addition, third-country nationals must present a transport ticket for return to their country of origin or for transit to a country in which their admission is guaranteed.

Communication from the Commission — Approval of the content of a draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EU)No 1408/2013 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid in the agriculture sector

(2018/C 425/02)

On 23 November 2018, the Commission approved the content of a draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 1408/2013 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid in the agriculture sector.

The draft Commission Regulation is attached as an Annex to this Communication.

The draft Regulation proposes to amend Regulation (EU) No 1408/2013 with a view to define the ceilings per aid beneficiary as well as per Member State up to which the granting of aid in the agriculture sector does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union because it does not risk to distort competition.

Following a thorough analysis, the Commission has concluded that there is no risk of distortion of competition if the ceiling of aid that can be granted per aid beneficiary during any given period of three fiscal years is increased from currently EUR 15 000 to EUR 25 000, and the national ceiling applicable during the same period from currently 1 % to 1,5 % of the agricultural output of each Member State provided that no more than 50 % of the Member State’s ceiling is granted to one individual agricultural sector (‘sector spending cap’) and that the Member State runs a de minimis aid register that contains the necessary information to monitor the respect of these ceilings at any given moment of time.

However, the draft also provides for the possibility neither to introduce a sector spending cap nor a de minimis aid register. In order to ensure that in this case there is no risk of distortion of competition, the ceilings are fixed at EUR 20 000 per aid beneficiary during any given period of three fiscal years and to 1,25 % for the same period of the national agricultural output.
