COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/72/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in solders and termination finishes of electrical and electronic components and finishes of printed circuit boards used in ignition modules and other electrical and electronic engine control systems
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Ignition modules and other electrical and electronic combustion engine control systems, which have to be mounted close to the moving parts of handheld tools and which are indispensable for the operation of the engine, are exposed to high vibrations and intense thermal stress. These harsh environmental conditions require the use of lead. Neither the substitution nor the elimination of lead in these components is technically practicable.
(3) Manufacturers need additional time to make possible lead-free alternatives technically practicable and to demonstrate reliability. The use of lead in solders and termination finishes of electrical and electronic components and finishes of printed circuit boards used in ignition modules and other electrical and electronic engine control systems should therefore be exempted from the prohibition until 31 December 2018. This is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 of 30 July 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the minimum import price system for dried grapes (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 provides that the Commission shall fix a monetary coefficient equal to the real monetary gap between the agricultural conversion rate for the currency of a Member State and the central rate, or, where applicable, the market rate when that gap is equal to or more than 2,5 percentage points;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2238/85 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2879/85 (5), fixes the minimum import price applicable to dried grapes during the marketing year 1985/86 as well as the countervailing charges to be imposed where that price is not observed; whereas the import prices as set out in Annex II of that Regulation are calculated as specific percentages of the minimum import price; whereas as a result the monetary coefficient should apply both to the minimum import prices and the import prices,
After having converted the minimum import prices and the import prices as set out in Annexes I and II of Regulation (EEC) No 2238/85 into one of the following national currencies by applying the agricultural conversion rate, the resulting amount shall be multiplied by the following coefficient:
- for the German mark: 0,972
- for the Dutch guilder: 0,972
- for the Greek drachma: 1,33
- for the Italian lire: 1,049
