THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (1), and in particular Article 24(2) and Annex XIV thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2012/27/EU requires each Member State to submit National Energy Efficiency Action Plans by 30 April 2014 and every three years thereafter. These plans are to set out significant energy efficiency improvement measures and expected and/or achieved energy savings, including those in the supply, transmission and distribution of energy as well as energy end-use, in view of achieving the energy efficiency targets referred to in Article 3(1) of Directive 2012/27/EU. The National Efficiency Action Plans shall in any case include the information specified in Annex XIV Part 2 of Directive 2012/27/EU. The National Energy Efficiency Action Plans shall be complemented with updated estimates of expected overall primary energy consumption in 2020, as well as estimated levels of primary energy consumption in the sectors indicated in Part 1 of Annex XIV of Directive 2012/27/EU.
(2) In accordance with Article 24(2) second paragraph of Directive 2012/27/EU, the Commission shall provide a template as guidance for the National Energy Efficiency Action Plans, which shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 26(2) of the Directive.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 61/2012
of 24 January 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 as regards the administration of the CXL concessions sugar
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Articles 144(1), 148 and 156 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (2) provides that for CXL concessions sugar with order number 09.4317, 09.4318, 09.4319, 09.4321 (country specific) and Balkan sugar import licence applications are to be accompanied by the original of the export licence.
(2) For CXL concession sugar with order number 09.4320 (any third country) the presentation of the export licence is not required.
(3) By simplifying the administrative requirements to have access to CXL concessions sugar for imports into the Union through the elimination of the requirement to present the export licence for country specific concessions it is possible to encourage competition between operators and secure a smoother functioning of the market. Since the release for free circulation would continue to be subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin, this simplification can be attained without prejudice to the possibility for Member States to take the necessary measures to satisfy themselves that the transactions have been carried out correctly.
(4) In order to ensure a smooth transition to the simplified administrative requirements, it is appropriate to foresee to defer their application to 1 February 2012.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly
(6) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
In Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
‘4.   For Balkan sugar, import licence applications shall be accompanied by the original of the export licence, in accordance with the model in Annex II, issued by the competent authorities of the third country concerned. The quantity mentioned in the import licence applications may not exceed the quantity shown on the export licences.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 February 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
