            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1324
of 10 August 2021
         
amending Regulation (EC) No 1597/2002 as regards the format for the submission of national lists of the basic material of forest reproductive material


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Council Directive 1999/105/EC of 22 December 1999 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Regulation (EC) No 1597/2002 (2) lays down a standardised format for Member States to submit to the Commission national lists of basic material of forest reproductive material.












(2)


The Commission has recently developed an information system for the electronic submission of those national lists, called Forest Reproductive Material Information System (FOREMATIS). FOREMATIS allows Member States to publish their national lists on the website of the Commission.












(3)


Due to that technical development, the format of national lists provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1597/2002 should be replaced by that of FOREMATIS.












(4)


Regulation (EC) No 1597/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(5)


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





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1597/2002 is amended as follows:






(1)


Article 1 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 1
The national list referred to in Article 10(2) of Directive 1999/105/EC shall be submitted by each Member State through and in accordance with the format of the Forest Reproductive Material Information System of the Commission (*1).


(*1)  https://ec.europa.eu/forematis/’;"
                        










(2)


the Annex is deleted.






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.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 10 August 2021.

and accordingly,






—

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action against the decision to reject their offer filed in response to tender procedure No 06D10/2020/SI2KAD-01 for the design and construction of a ‘Europa Experience’ space and a conference centre in Luxembourg, the applicants rely on a single plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 51 of Regulation 2018/1046. (1) The applicants rely on several arguments in support of that plea. Firstly, they submit that they met the selection criteria and, in particular, the minimum staffing requirement. Secondly, the applicants argue that the tender specifications did not require the production of supporting documents, failing which the tender would be disregarded. Finally, they added that clarifications to the tender could have been submitted, at the request of the contracting authority, after the submission of their tender. In any event, according to the applicants, those clarifications were not such as to substantially alter the documents submitted.

Questions referred







1.


Is the derived right of residence of a direct relative in the ascending line of a Union citizen worker pursuant to Article 7(2) of Directive 2004/38/EC (1) conditional on the continued dependency of that relative on the worker?










2.


Does Directive 2004/38/EC preclude a host Member State from limiting access to a social assistance payment benefit by a family member of a Union citizen worker who enjoys a derived right of residence on the basis of her dependency on that worker, where access to such payment would mean she is no longer dependent on the worker?










3.


Does Directive 2004/38/EC preclude a host Member State from limiting access to a social assistance payment benefit by a family member of a Union citizen worker who enjoys a derived right of residence on the basis of her dependency on that worker, on the grounds that payment of the benefit will result in the family member concerned becoming an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the State?
