Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2022/C 233/09)

Pursuant to Article 9(1), point (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:

On page 394, the following explanatory note is inserted:

‘9113 Watch straps, watch bands and watch bracelets, and parts thereof This heading covers all kinds of watch straps, watch bands and watch bracelets used for fastening all kinds of watches to the wrist (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 9113). This includes straps, bands and bracelets for: — watches and so called “smart-watches” of headings 9101 and 9102; and — so-called “smart-watches” of heading 8517 (including straps, bands and bracelets equipped with special adaptors or proprietary fastening devices for attaching solely to a specific “smartwatch”). The classification at the subheading level is determined by their constituent material. Straps, bands and bracelets consisting of different materials are classified according to the constituent material which gives them the essential character within the meaning of general rule 3 (b).’

On page 352, the following explanatory note is inserted:

‘8517 79 00 Other This subheading does not cover separately presented straps, bands and bracelets used for fastening so-called “smart-watches” of heading 8517 to the wrist (heading 9113). Even if equipped with special adaptors or proprietary fastening devices for attaching solely to a specific so-called “smartwatch” device the bands, straps and bracelets remain classified in heading 9113. See the explanatory note to heading 9113.’

Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates applicable as from 1 July 2022

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 (1) )

(2022/C 229/03)

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6.). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.

Modified rates are indicated in bold.

(4)

For the purposes of the rules on competition laid down in the Treaty, an undertaking is any entity, be it a natural or a legal person, engaged in an economic activity, regardless of its legal status and the way in which it is financed (7). The Court of Justice of the European Union has clarified that an entity ‘owning controlling shareholdings in a company’ and which ‘actually exercises that control by involving itself directly or indirectly in the management thereof’ must be considered as taking part in the economic activity of that company. Therefore, the entity itself must be regarded as an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU (8). The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that all entities that are controlled (on a legal or on a de facto basis) by the same entity should be considered as a single undertaking (9). For the sake of legal certainty and to reduce the administrative burden, this Regulation should provide a clear and exhaustive list of criteria for determining when two or more enterprises in the same Member State are to be considered as a single undertaking. The Commission has selected criteria that are appropriate for the purposes of this Regulation from the well-established criteria for defining ‘linked enterprises’ as part of the definition of small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC (10) and in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 (11). Those criteria should be applicable, given the scope of this Regulation, to both SMEs and large undertakings and should ensure that a group of linked enterprises is considered as one single undertaking for the application of the de minimis rule. However, enterprises that have no relationship with each other, except for the fact that each of them has a direct link to the same public body or bodies, are not treated as being linked to each other. The specific situation of enterprises controlled by the same public body or bodies, which may have an independent power of decision, is therefore taken into account.
