         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1189
         of 8 July 2019
         amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 implementing te Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for international trade in rough diamonds (1), and in particular Article 19(6) and Article 20 thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Following a provisional acceptance at the Brisbane Plenary meeting in December 2017, Kimberley Process Participants approved the addition of the Republic of Gabon to the list of participants in that process at the Brussels Plenary meeting in November 2018.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     The addresses of the competent authorities of several Participants in the Kimberley Process in Annex II and the addresses of Member States' competent authorities in Annex III require an update.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     Following the request for designation of an EU authority pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 by Ireland, the Commission visited the EU authority designated by Ireland to verify its preparedness to assume the duties referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. The preparations undertaken and the procedures envisaged by the EU authority designated by Ireland suggest that it will be able to reliably, timely, effectively and adequately fulfil the tasks required by Chapters II, III and V of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. It is necessary to provide a realistic timeframe for Ireland to implement the necessary changes.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     By virtue of the adoption of the Administrative Decision ‘Compilation of Modifications to Technical definitions’ by Kimberley Process Participants at the Brussels Plenary in November 2018, the term ‘country of origin’ should be replaced by the term ‘country of mining origin’ in Kimberley Process Certificates.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     In order to reflect the replacement of the term ‘country of origin’ by the term ‘country of mining origin’, in the European Union certificate as defined in Article 2(g) of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002, Annex IV to that Regulation should be amended accordingly. It is necessary to provide a realistic timeframe for the competent authorities of the Union to adapt to this change taking into account the time needed to ensure the availability of the new certificates.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Annexes II, III, and IV to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee referred to in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002,

                        Community certificate as referred to in Article 2
                     
                     In accordance with the changes enacted by the Treaty of Lisbon, whereby the European Union replaced and succeeded the European Community, the term “EU certificate” shall refer to the Community certificate as defined in Article 2(g) of this Regulation.
                     The EU Certificate shall have the following features: Member States shall ensure that the Certificates they issue shall be identical. To this end they shall submit to the Commission specimens of the Certificates to be issued.
                     Member States shall be responsible for having the EU Certificates printed. The EU Certificates may be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which they are established. In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the Member State must appear on each EU Certificate. Each EU Certificate shall bear an indication of the printer's name and address or a mark enabling the printer to be identified. The printer shall be a High Security Banknote Printer. The printer shall provide suitable references from governmental and commercial customers.
                     The European Commission shall make specimens of original EU Certificates available to EU authorities.
