COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 107/2013
of 5 February 2013
amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for melamine in canned pet food
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited.
(2) Information has been provided that melamine is used in the coating of cans containing pet food and can migrate into that pet food. Cans with the same coating are used for the canning of food and in accordance with the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) a scientific opinion on melamine in food and feed (2), a specific migration limit (SML) of 2,5 mg/kg for the canned food as such has been established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (3) as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1282/2011 (4).
(3) The Codex Alimentarius Commission has established maximum levels for melamine in feed and food (5) which are to apply to feed as sold, while the maximum levels established in Directive 2002/32/EC concern feed with a moisture content of 12 %.
(4) Recently provided information has demonstrated that melamine can migrate in wet pet food from the can coating at a level above 2,5 mg/kg relative to a feed with a moisture content of 12 % but below the SML of 2,5 mg/kg in the wet pet food. In the light of this development in scientific and technical knowledge, it is appropriate to establish the maximum level of 2,5 mg/kg for melamine for canned wet pet food on a ‘as sold’ basis and this in line with what is foreseen for canned food.
(5) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
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.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (1), and in particular Article 19(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 93/195/EEC of 2 February 1993 on animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the re-entry of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export (2) establishes several models of health certificates for the re-entry into the Union of registered horses temporarily exported to third countries for taking part in racing, competitions and cultural events.
(2) The model of health certificate for re-entry into the European Union of registered horses for racing, competition and cultural events after temporary export for a period of less than 30 days is set out in Annex II to that Decision.
(3) Commission Decision 2007/240/EC (3) laying down new veterinary certificates for importing live animals, semen, embryos, ova and products of animal origin into the Community pursuant to, inter alia, Decision 93/195/EEC establishes a standardised model of the health certificate.
(4) It is necessary to adapt the model of health certificate in Annex II to Decision 93/195/EEC to the model provided for in Decision 2007/240/EC.
(5) In addition, Annex II to Decision 93/195/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2010/266/EU of 30 April 2010 amending Decisions 92/260/EEC, 93/195/EEC, 93/197/EEC and 2004/211/EC as regards the importation of registered horses from certain parts of China and adapting certain third country denominations (4) requires certain corrections for legal clarity.
(6) Decision 93/195/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Decision 93/195/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

5.12.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 327/1
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1207/2008
of 28 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 and Article 299(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (2) allows derogations from Article 13 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (3). That Article provides for a general scheme to manage entries into the fleet as well as exits from the fleet.
(2) Article 2(5) of Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 fixes the period of validity of the derogation from the entry/exit scheme for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal. That period was originally set at 31 December 2007 and was than extended until 31 December 2008 following the political agreement reached in the Council on 19 June 2006 concerning the European Fisheries Fund.
(3) The Commission act allowing the Member States concerned to grant State aid was adopted later than foreseen. Given the fact that the interested shipyards have a limited capacity, a full implementation of the political agreement reached in the Council on 19 June 2006 becomes impossible within the deadline of 31 December 2008.
(4) It is, therefore, appropriate to extend the deadline to 2011 for the derogation set out in Article 2(5) of Regulation (EC) No 639/2004.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2(5) shall be replaced by the following:
‘5. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal, the derogation in paragraph 1(a) will cease to apply three years after the public aid for renewal has been granted and in any case not later than 31 December 2011.’
2. Article 6 shall be replaced by the following:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.
