of 10 February 2017
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 as regards the co-rapporteur Member State for the active substance metaldehyde
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 (2) allocates the evaluation of each active substance to a rapporteur Member State and a co-rapporteur Member State. In agreement with the Member States concerned, it is considered necessary to change the co-rapporteur Member State for the active substance metaldehyde while respecting the balance as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States. The co-evaluation for the purposes of the renewal procedures for metaldehyde should be allocated to Austria.












(2)


Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(3)


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

Questions referred







I.


Is Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (1) to be interpreted as meaning that the ‘rights to further compensation’ referred to therein cover only claims which are based on grounds which lie outside that regulation?










II.








(a)


If Question I. is answered in the negative, is Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 to be interpreted as meaning that, in the event that an airline does not provide the services provided for under Article 8(1) and (2), that provision gives rise to a separate claim for compensation on the part of the passenger by reason of the non-performance of the aforementioned services and, if so, does that claim also cover the reimbursement of the costs of alternative transportation organised by the passenger himself to his final destination?










(aa)


If the answer to Question (a) is affirmative, is the claim for compensation relating to the replacement transportation organised by the passenger himself subject to the deduction under the second sentence of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004?










(b)


If Question I. is answered in the affirmative and national law contains a rule under which a passenger has a claim against an airline, on the ground of breach of the obligation under Article 8 of the regulation, for reimbursement of the costs incurred by him by reason of the fact that he organised replacement transportation himself, is that claim for compensation under national law subject to the deduction under the second sentence of Article 12(1) of the regulation?










(c)


If a deduction under the second sentence of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 is affirmed, either in the context of Question II (a) or Question II (b), is Article 12 to be interpreted as meaning that the deduction automatically applies without it being necessary for the party obliged to pay the compensation to invoke that deduction?










(1)  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91, OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1.
