THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 199b thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By notification registered at the Commission on 27 November 2013, Hungary requested authorisation to introduce a Quick Reaction Mechanism special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC.
(2) According to that notification, it has come to the attention of the national authorities that a number of traders have engaged in tax evasion by not paying VAT to the competent tax authorities.
(3) The requested measure consists in designating the taxable person to whom goods, in this case sugar, are supplied as liable for the payment of VAT instead of the supplier.
(4) On 4 December 2013, the Commission notified the Member States that it had all the information necessary to appraise the request.
(5) On the basis of detailed fraud figures in this sector provided by Hungary, it clearly appears that fraud in the sector was already of a substantive nature in 2011 and 2012.
(6) Therefore, it has been established that the fraud identified is not of a sudden nature within the meaning of Article 199b of Directive 2006/112/EC.
(7) The requested derogation should therefore not be granted,
Hungary may not introduce the requested Quick Reaction Mechanism special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC.
This Decision is addressed to Hungary.

Whereas:
(1) African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2) In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of protection and surveillance zones in the event of outbreaks of that disease where the measures laid down in Articles 10 and 11 of that Directive are to apply.
(4) Lithuania has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established protection and surveillance zones where the measures referred to in Articles 10 and 11 of that Directive are applied.
(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the restricted zones for African swine fever in Lithuania which are the protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’).
(6) Accordingly, pending the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, the restricted zones in Lithuaniashould be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.
(7) This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
