COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1013/2010
laying down implementing rules on the Union Fleet Policy as defined in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 11(7), the first subparagraph of Article 12(1), Article 12(2), Article 13(2) and Article 14(2) thereof,
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 of 12 August 2003 laying down implementing rules on the Community Fleet Policy as defined in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
The adjustment in fishing capacity of the Union fishing fleet should be monitored closely to bring it into line with the available resources. To that end, Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 sets out a number of specific measures.
Rules should be laid down to ensure the correct implementation of Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 by the Member States, taking into account all relevant parameters for the management of fleet capacity, in terms of tonnage (GT) and power (kW), provided for in that Regulation and also in Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector (4). This Regulation should take account of the Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia on 1 May 2004 and of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007.
Reference levels for fishing capacity should be fixed at 1 January 2003 for the fleet of each Member State listed in Annex I, Part A, with the exception of their fleets registered in the outermost regions.
Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 allows Member States to rebuild 4 % of the annual average tonnage scrapped with public aid between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2006 and 4 % of the tonnage scrapped with public aid as from 1 January 2007.
Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 takes account of the requirement, as currently laid down in Article 25(3)(b) and (c) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on a European Fisheries Fund (5), to reduce by at least 20 % the power of an engine that has been replaced with public aid, excluding engine replacements in the small-scale coastal fisheries as defined in that Regulation.
It is necessary to establish rules for the adjustment of the reference levels to take account of Article 11(4), (5) and (6), and, for reasons of transparency, Article 13(1)(b)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and of the remeasurement of the Union fishing fleet. After completion of the measurement of all fishing vessels, the adjustment rule should be maintained for a strict application of the entry-exit regime in terms of tonnage.
Requests by the Member States listed in Annex I, Part A submitted to the Commission before 31 December 2002 to increase their objectives in the Fourth Multiannual Guidance Programme (MAGP IV), as was provided for in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, and Article 3 and Article 4(2) of Council Decision 97/413/EC (6), are to be taken into account where appropriate for the determination of reference levels.
It is necessary to establish a calculation method in order to assess whether Member States manage entries into and exits from their fleet of fishing vessels in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
The exemption from the entry-exit regime for the vessels that joined the fleet as from 1 January 2003 or, for the Member States listed in Annex I, Part B, as from the accession date, should take into account an administrative decision adopted respectively before 1 January 2003 or before the accession date. For the calculation of the overall fishing capacity of the fleet at 1 January 2003 special treatment should be given to entries into the fleet of vessels for which such administrative decisions were taken, provided that those vessels entered the fleet not later than 5 years after the date of the administrative decision by the concerned Member State.
Implementing rules are needed for decisions by Member States on the eligibility of modernisation works to improve safety, working conditions, product quality and hygiene on board vessels as referred to in Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, in order to ensure a transparent assessment and an equal treatment of the requests, while preventing any increase in fishing effort as a result of such works.
Increases in enclosed volume over the main deck do not affect the tonnage of vessels under 15 m in length overall, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986 defining characteristics for fishing vessels (7). Therefore, the modernisation of these vessels above the main deck is not taken into account when adapting the reference levels according to Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
Member States should be allowed to grant a limited increase in tonnage to new or existing vessels in order to improve safety, hygiene, working conditions and product quality on board, provided it does not increase the ability of the vessels to catch fish and gives priority to small-scale coastal fisheries within the meaning of Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006. That increase should be linked to their efforts to adjust fishing capacity with public aid between 1 January 2003 or 1 May 2004 and 31 December 2006 and from 1 January 2007 onwards.
It is necessary to lay down implementing rules to ensure that clear rules and procedures are set for the way Member States transmit data to the Union fishing fleet register and new validation rules are needed to guarantee the quality and the reliability of such data.
The annual reports and the summary thereof made by the Commission in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 should give a clear picture of the equilibrium between fleet fishing capacity and fishing opportunities.
This Regulation lays down the implementing rules for Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. It shall apply to the fishing capacity of Union fishing vessels with the exception of vessels which are:

Article 16(2), first indent, of Directive 2009/125/EC provides that in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 19(3) and the criteria set out in Article 15(2), and after consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, the Commission shall, as appropriate, introduce an implementing measure for domestic appliances, including household washing machines.
The Commission has carried out a preparatory study to analyse the technical, environmental and economic aspects of household washing machines typically used in households. The study has been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.
This Regulation should cover products designed for washing laundry in households.
Household combined washer-driers have particular characteristics and should therefore be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. However, considering that they offer similar functionalities as household washing machines, they should be addressed as soon as possible in another implementing measure of Directive 2009/125/EC.
The environmental aspect of the household washing machines, identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation, is energy and water consumption in the use phase. The annual electricity and water consumption of products subject to this Regulation was estimated to have been 35 TWh and 2 213 million m3, respectively, in the Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual electricity and water consumption is predicted to be 37,7 TWh and 2 051 million m3 in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the electricity and water consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be significantly reduced.
The preparatory study shows that requirements regarding other ecodesign parameters referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary as electricity and water consumptions of household washing machines in the use phase are by far the most important environmental aspect.
The electricity and water consumptions of products subject to this Regulation should be made more efficient by applying existing non-proprietary cost-effective technologies that can reduce the combined costs of purchasing and operating these products.
The ecodesign requirements should not affect functionality from the end-user’s perspective and should not negatively affect health, safety or the environment. In particular, the benefits of reducing electricity and water consumption during the use phase should more than offset any additional environmental impacts during the production phase.
The ecodesign requirements should be introduced gradually in order to provide a sufficient timeframe for manufacturers to redesign products subject to this Regulation. The timing should be such as to avoid negative impacts on the functionalities of equipment on the market, and to take into account cost impacts for end-users and manufacturers, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, while ensuring timely achievement of the objectives of this Regulation.
‘household washing machine’ means an automatic washing machine which cleans and rinses textiles using water which also has a spin extraction function and which is designed to be used principally for non-professional purposes;
‘programme’ means a series of operations that are pre-defined and are declared by the manufacturer as suitable for washing certain types of textile;
‘rated capacity’ means the maximum mass in kilograms stated by the manufacturer at 0,5 kg intervals kg of dry textiles of a particular type, which can be treated in a household washing machine on the selected programme, when loaded in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
‘off-mode’ means a condition where the household washing machine is switched off using appliance controls or switches accessible to and intended for operation by the end-user during normal use to attain the lowest power consumption that may persist for an indefinite time while the household washing machine is connected to a power source and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions; where there is no control or switch accessible to the end-user, ‘off-mode’ means the condition reached after the household washing machine reverts to a steady-state power consumption on its own;
‘equivalent washing machine’ means a model of household washing machine placed on the market with the same rated capacity, technical and performance characteristics, energy and water consumption and airborne acoustical noise emissions during washing and spinning as another model of household washing machine placed on the market under a different commercial code number by the same manufacturer.
the generic ecodesign requirements set out in point 1(2) of Annex I shall apply from 1 June 2011;
the generic ecodesign requirements set out in point 1(3) of Annex I shall apply from 1 December 2013;
the specific ecodesign requirements set out in point 2(2) of Annex I shall apply from 1 December 2013.
For the calculation of the energy consumption and other parameters for household washing machines, the cycles which clean normally soiled cotton laundry (hereafter standard cotton programmes) at 40 °C and 60 °C shall be used. These cycles shall be clearly identifiable on the programme selection device of the household washing machines or the household washing machines display, if any, or both, and indicated as ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’.
the standard 60 °C and 40 °C cotton programmes, referred to as ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’, and shall specify that they are suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and that they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing that type of cotton laundry; in addition, an indication that the actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature;
indicative information on the programme time, remaining moisture content, energy and water consumption for the main washing programmes at full or partial load, or both;
recommendation on the type of detergents suitable for the various washing temperatures.
Household washing machines shall offer to end-users a cycle at 20 °C. This programme shall be clearly identifiable on the programme selection device of the household washing machines or the household washing machines display, if any, or both.
for all household washing machines, the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) shall be less than 68,
for household washing machines with a rated capacity higher than 3 kg, the Washing Efficiency Index (Iw ) shall be greater than 1,03,
for household washing machines with a rated capacity equal to or lower than 3 kg, the Washing Efficiency Index (Iw ) shall be greater than 1,00,

for household washing machines with a rated capacity equal to or higher than 4 kg, the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) shall be less than 59,
for all household washing machines, the water consumption shall be,
Where the household washing machine is equipped with a power management system, with the household washing machine reverting automatically to ‘off-mode’ after the end of the programme, the weighted annual energy consumption (AEC ) is calculated taking into consideration the effective duration of the ‘left-on mode’, according to the following formula:
The Washing Efficiency Index (Iw ) is calculated as follows and rounded to three decimal places
The Washing Efficiency Index of one standard cotton programme (p) is calculated as follows:
The Washing Efficiency (W) is the average of the reflectance values of each test strip after completion of a test cycle.
The measured value shall not be less than the rated value of IW by more than 4 %.
The measured value shall not be longer than the rated values of Tt by more than 10 %.

on the launch of automated data exchange with regard to dactyloscopic data in Slovakia
Having regard to Council Decision 2008/616/JHA of 23 June 2008 on the implementation of Decision 2008/615/JHA (2), in particular Article 20 and Chapter 4 of the Annex thereof,
Slovakia has completed the questionnaire on data protection and the questionnaire on dactyloscopic data exchange.
A successful pilot run has been carried out by Slovakia with Austria.
An evaluation visit has taken place in Slovakia and a report on the evaluation visit has been produced by the Austrian/German evaluation team and forwarded to the relevant Council Working Group.
For the purposes of automated searching of dactyloscopic data, Slovakia has fully implemented the general provisions on data protection of Chapter 6 of Decision 2008/615/JHA and is entitled to receive and supply personal data pursuant to Article 9 of that Decision as from the date of the entry into force of this Decision.
amending Decision 97/555/EC on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards cements, building limes and other hydraulic binders
(notified under document C(2010) 7603)
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988, on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 13(4)(a) thereof,
The Commission has adopted Decision 97/555/EC of 14 July 1997 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards cements, building limes and other hydraulic binders (2).
Following a review of the product family ‘building limes’ the Member States and the Commission considered necessary to strengthen the role of the third party involved in the certification of the factory production control.
Decision 97/555/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex III to Decision 97/555/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
(2) OJ L 229, 20.8.1997, p. 9.
In Annex III to Decision 97/555/EC, the entry related to product family ‘Building limes, including: Calcium limes, Dolomitic limes, Hydraulic limes’ is replaced by the following:

Part 1 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC sets out the model health certificate for trade in animals from holdings, including dogs, cats and ferrets.
In order to avoid that commercial movements are fraudulently disguised as non-commercial movements of pet animals within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, Article 12 of that Regulation provides that the requirements and checks laid down in Directive 92/65/EEC are to apply to the movement of more than five pet animals where the animals are brought into the Union from a third country other than those listed in Section 2 of Part B of Annex II to that Regulation.
In order to avoid the same practices and ensure a uniform application of Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, Commission Regulation (EU) No 388/2010 of 6 May 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the maximum number of pet animals of certain species that may be the subject of non-commercial movement (3) provides that the same rules apply where more than five pet dogs, cats and ferrets are moved into a Member State from another Member State or a third country listed in Section 2 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
The certificate set out in Part 1 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2010/270/EU (4), takes into account the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 388/2010.
Experience in the application of Regulation (EU) No 388/2010 has shown that in certain cases the provisions of that Regulation affect in a disproportionate manner the movement of a limited population of pet dogs, cats and ferrets that are frequently moved for non-commercial purposes in numbers higher than five to take part in certain sport events and shows.
For those cases it is appropriate to introduce a period of validity of the health certificate which is longer than the period of validity of health certificates issued for other species covered by the certificate set out in Part 1 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC.
Commission Decision 2004/824/EC of 1 December 2004 establishing a model health certificate for non-commercial movements of dogs, cats and ferrets from third countries into the Community (5) provides that the certificate set out in the Annex thereto is valid for movements within the Union for a period of 4 months from the date of issue or until the date of expiry of the vaccination against rabies, whichever is earlier.
In the interest of consistency of Union legislation, it is appropriate that the validity of certificates for pet dogs, cats and ferrets set out in Part 1 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC be the same as the one laid down for the certificate set out in the Annex to Decision 2004/824/EC.

amending Chapter 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks (1), and in particular Article 23(2) thereof,
Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 sets up guidelines on the definition of the technical information necessary for network users to gain effective access to the system.
The guidelines should introduce transparency requirements in order to ensure effective access to natural gas transmission systems and to provide a minimum guarantee of equal market access conditions in practice.
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2009,
Chapter 3 of the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
‘3. Definition of the technical information necessary for network users to gain effective access to the system, the definition of all relevant points for transparency requirements and the information to be published at all relevant points and the time schedule according to which this information shall be published

The aggregation of single final customers and of production facilities, excluded from the definition of relevant points as described under 3.2(1)(a), shall for the application of this Annex be considered as one relevant point.
Where points between two or more transmission operators are managed solely by the transmission operators concerned, with no contractual or operational involvement of system users whatsoever, or where points connect a transmission system to a distribution system and there is no contractual congestion at these points, transmission system operators shall be exempted for these points from the obligation to publish the requirements under paragraph 3.3 of this Annex. The national regulatory authority may require the transmission system operators to publish the requirements under paragraph 3.3 of this Annex for groups or all of the exempted points. In such case, the information, if available to the TSO, shall be published in an aggregated form at a meaningful level, at least per balancing zone. This aggregation of these points shall for the application of this annex be considered as one relevant point.
At all relevant points, transmission system operators shall publish the information as listed in paragraphs (a) to (g), for all services and ancillary services provided (in particular information on blending, ballasting and conversion). This information shall be published on a numerical basis, in hourly or daily periods, equal to the smallest reference period for capacity booking and (re-)nomination and the smallest settlement period for which imbalance charges are calculated. If the smallest reference period is different from a daily period, information as listed in paragraphs (a) to (g) shall be made available also for the daily period. This information and updates shall be published as soon as available to the system operator (“near real time”).
the nominations and re-nominations in both directions;
the available firm and interruptible capacity in both directions;
actual physical flows;
planned and actual interruption of interruptible capacity;

Preliminary figures shall be published at the latest 3 days following the respective gas day. Final figures shall be published within 3 months after the end of the respective month.
For all relevant points, transmission system operators shall publish available capacities, booked and technical capacities, on an annual basis over all years where capacity is contracted plus 1 year, and at least for the next 10 years. This information shall be updated at least every month or more frequently, if new information becomes available. The publication shall reflect the period for which capacity is offered to the market.
interconnection point where the capacity is sold;
type of capacity, i.e. entry, exit, firm, interruptible;
quantity and duration of the capacity usage rights;
type of sale, e.g. transfer or assignment;
the total number of trades/transfers;
any other conditions known to the transmission system operator as mentioned in 3.3.
Transmission system operators shall publish harmonised conditions under which capacity transactions (e.g. transfers and assignments) will be accepted by them. These conditions must at least include:
a description of standardised products which can be sold on the secondary market;
lead time for the implementation/acceptation/registration of secondary trades. In case of delays the reasons have to be published;
the notification to the transmission system operator by the seller or the third party as referred to under 3.4(1) about name of seller and buyer and capacity specifications as outlined in 3.4(1).
Regarding the balancing service of its system, each transmission system operator shall provide to each network user, for each balancing period, its specific preliminary imbalance volumes and cost data per individual network user, at the latest 1 month after the end of the balancing period. Final data of customers supplied according to standardised load profiles may be provided up to 14 months later. In so far such information is provided by a third party, transmission system operators shall be exempted from this provision. The provision of this information shall respect confidentiality of commercially sensitive information.
Where flexibility services, other than tolerances, are offered for third party access, transmission system operators shall publish daily forecasts on a day-ahead basis of the maximum amount of flexibility, the booked level of flexibility and the availability of flexibility for the market for the next gas day. The transmission system operator shall also publish ex-post information on the aggregate utilisation of every flexibility service at the end of each gas day. If the national regulatory authority is satisfied that such information could give room to potential abuse by network users, it may decide to exempt the transmission system operator from this obligation.
Transmission system operators shall publish, per balancing zone, the amount of gas in the transmission system at the start of each gas day and the forecast of the amount of gas in the transmission system at the end of each gas day. The forecast amount of gas for the end of the gas day shall be updated on an hourly basis throughout the gas day. If imbalance charges are calculated on an hourly basis, the transmission system operator shall publish the amount of gas in the transmission system on an hourly basis. Alternatively, transmission system operators shall publish, per balancing zone, the aggregate imbalance position of all users at the start of each balancing period and the forecast of the aggregated imbalance position of all users at the end of each gas day. If the national regulatory authority is satisfied that such information could give room to potential abuse by network users, it may decide to exempt the transmission system operator from this obligation.
Transmission system operators shall provide user-friendly instruments for calculating tariffs.
Transmission system operators shall keep at the disposal of the relevant national authorities, for at least 5 years, effective records of all capacity contracts and all other relevant information in relation to calculating and providing access to available capacities, in particular individual nominations and interruptions. Transmission system operators must keep documentation of all relevant information under point 3.3(4) and (5) for at least 5 years and make them available to the regulatory authority upon request. Both parties shall respect commercial confidentiality.’
