ANNEX I

The following amendment to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ has been approved:

The following text is to be added to the description of the composition after ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’: Fatty meat, particularly pork belly, belly fat, jowl, jowl fat, back and back fat.

The need for the amendment has arisen as a result of the new rules relating to the labelling of the ingredients of foodstuffs (Quantitative Ingredient Declaration – QUID) introduced by Commission Directive 2001/101/EC of 26 November 2001 amending the Labelling Directive, Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. Annex I to the Labelling Directive now stipulates that an ingredient may be described as ‘…-meat’ only if it does not exceed a specified fat and connective tissue content. For pigmeat, fat content may not exceed 30 % and connective tissue content 25 %. An ingredient which exceeds this limit value must be described as ‘fatty meat’ for example.

The recipe for ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ allows a fat content of more than 30 %. The specification provided only for ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’. In accordance with the QUID requirement, the higher fat content must now be indicated on packaging in accordance with Section 3(1), No 3 of the Foodstuffs Labelling Order (Lebensmittel-Kennzeichnungsverordnung (LMKV)). This amendment to the LMKV in line with the Directive has not been included in the ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ recipe or specification to date. The recipe and the specification must therefore be amended to bring the product into line with the new labelling requirements.

The Association for the protection of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’ (Schutzverband Nürnberger Bratwürste) agreed to review the recipe and launch the specification amendment procedure in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1257/2003 (ref. DPMA 398 99 002.6) on 28 September 2006.

‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ are traditionally produced with belly, belly fat, jowl, jowl fat, back or back fat according to the recipe that has been handed down. These ingredients are largely responsible for the consistency and smoothness of the sausages. Without these ingredients, the minced meat product would dry out considerably during frying and fall apart. The fatty meat is also largely responsible for the flavour, which is enhanced by the spicy nuances provided by the specific spices characteristic of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’.

The purpose of the more detailed list is to clarify the ingredients. There is no common understanding of the term ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’ among experts in the field in Germany. Some consider that ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’ does not include fatty meat. This would mean that the specification of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ had been incomplete from the outset. This is substantiated with reference to a definition in the guidelines on the German Foodstuffs Register in which the terms ‘grob entfettetes Schweinefleisch’ (roughly defatted pigmeat) and ‘Speck’ (fatty meat) are defined separately.

This point in the guidelines is incomprehensible even to the supervisory authorities. The inspection office for north Bavaria (Landesuntersuchungsanstalt Nordbayern) was also involved in the preparation of the initial specification and, with its knowledge of the ingredients, did not consider it necessary to further specify the components despite the situation outlined above. All parties involved naturally assumed that roughly defatted pigmeat could also include some fatty meat. Otherwise, the recipe would not have been able to comprise fat content of up to 35 %. This proportion can be reached only if ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’ includes some belly, belly fat, jowl, jowl fat, back or back fat.

The proportion of fatty meat in the recipe is restricted, firstly, by the 35 % limit applying to fat content. It is limited secondly as a result of the provision stipulating that meat protein free of connective tissue protein (MPFCP) must not be less than 12 %. Since the MPFCP content of fatty meat is only 8 % on average, the higher MPFCP content of at least 12 % in the end product can be achieved only in combination with particularly lean, high-quality meat with a MPFCP content well in excess of 12 %. Specifying the minimum MPFCP content in the recipe therefore limits fatty meat content. The definition of the term ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’ as used in the recipe does not therefore need to be interpreted according to the guidelines. Rather, it is evident from the recipe itself that the term is used in a different sense here than in the guidelines.

Moreover, the guidelines are not binding. It is recognised that the guidelines do not reflect the views of consumers or of specialists in the field, as their views were not sought when the guidelines were prepared. Rather, the guidelines reflect the views of certain interested parties. The guidelines in fact diverge from traditional production practices to a considerable extent. This was already evident in the preparation of the ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste PGI’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste PGI’ specification, as the composition of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ described here was considerably different to the actual recipe used locally. Consequently, the guidelines were amended after the registration process. The traditional practices applied in the production of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ should also constitute the reference point for the definition of the ingredient ‘roughly defatted pigmeat’ as used in the recipe. Here the ingredients ‘belly, belly fat, jowl, jowl fat, back or back fat’ are traditionally used. In the interests of clarity for all parties, the ingredients ‘fatty meat, particularly pork belly, belly fat, jowl, jowl fat, back and back fat’ will now be listed explicitly in the recipe.

5. Link with the geographical area

5.1. Specificity of the geographical area

The production of Bratwürste in Nuremberg is a centuries-old tradition which can be proved to go back to 1313. The typical reduction of the length and weight of ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ can be traced back to at least 1573. Nuremberg’s location at the intersection of two important trade routes meant that oriental spices were available in Nuremberg for making sausages from an early time.

The current tradition of Bratwurst production in Nuremberg has an illustrious past. ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ were greatly appreciated by Goethe and Jean Paul, for example. The Bratwurst-Glöcklein in the St. Sebald area was one of the most famous public houses in 19th century Germany; not only was it open to aristocrats and plutocrats, but it was also an essential stop for every visitor to the city.

5.2. Specificity of the product

‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ are characterised by their unusual small shape and marjoram notes. They conform to a high-quality standard which has long been controlled, are known well beyond the Nuremberg region and are highly regarded by consumers.

This is reflected in the fact that the standard programme of a city visit today includes eating ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ in one of the many ‘Bratwurstküchen’ or ‘Wurstbratereien’ in Nuremberg’s city centre.

5.3. Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

The centuries-old tradition of Bratwurst production in Nuremberg, the high quality standard which has long been controlled and the unusual small shape have made ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’/‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ known and highly appreciated throughout Germany and the world.

The speciality emerged in the former Imperial City of Nuremburg as a result of its geographical location as a key intersection on the trade and spice routes from East Asia, introducing spices such as marjoram, nutmeg and pepper. It was the availability of these spices from Asia that made production possible in the first place. As Nuremburg was a city involved in much long-distance trade and with a number of refined modern traditions, ever smaller, more refined, better spiced sausages were produced here, which in time became the famous ‘Nürnberger Bratwürste’.

Unlike the country areas, the city placed greater emphasis on quality from the outset. While quantity took precedence elsewhere, the principle on which production in Nuremburg was based was quality over quantity, and it was this which resulted in the small size of the sausages.

Compliance with the recipe and quality date back to the supervisory rules of the Nuremburg city council. Nuremburg may well lay claim to the oldest foodstuffs supervision scheme, which is mentioned in the penal code dating from the year 1300.

By publishing the recipe, exercising strict supervision and restricting production to the city area, the city of Nuremberg has helped to ensure that the character of the sausage is an indication of its origin.

The link with the geographical area was therefore based initially on the geographical location as a key intersection on spice and trade routes and on the early introduction of supervision of foodstuffs. The geographical location and foodstuffs supervision and the associated protection of the recipe therefore resulted in the particular quality of the sausages. The imperial city with its extensive trade network across the world resulted a speciality which was very well known from the Middle Ages onwards. Today the link is based on the renown enjoyed by this speciality which is traditionally appreciated worldwide.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 981/2013

of 11 October 2013

establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for export licences for cheese to be exported to the United States of America in 2014 under certain GATT quotas

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 of 27 November 2009 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (2), and in particular the first subparagraphs of Article 23(1) and (4) thereof,

DIRECTIVES

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2013/49/EU

of 11 October 2013

amending Annex II to Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2006/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels and repealing Council Directive 82/714/EEC (1), and in particular the first sentence of Article 20, paragraph 1,

After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2006/87/EC, the Rhine Vessel Inspection Regulation and the Commission Regulation (EU) No 164/2010 of 25 January 2010 on the technical specifications for electronic ship reporting in inland navigation referred to in Article 5 of Directive 2005/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on harmonised river information services (RIS) on inland waterways in the Community (2) define the main requirements for the exchange of the minimum set of hull data among vessel certification authorities and RIS authorities.

(2)

Since the entry into force of Directive 2006/87/EC, more than 14 000 crafts have been assigned a Unique European Vessel Identification Number (ENI). The considerable amount of ENIs makes an efficient data exchange hard to manage without a suitable tool. This could lead to higher safety risks during the operation of the vessel (traffic management) but also to administrative problems (e.g. double-counting in statistics). The ENIs are stored in Inland AIS transponders in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 415/2007 of 13 March 2007 concerning the technical specifications for vessel tracking and tracing systems referred to in Article 5 of Directive 2005/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on harmonised river information services (RIS) on inland waterways in the Community (3) in order to be able to automatically identify the vessels in case they are provided with an ENI.

(3)

Competent authorities need these data in particular to avoid assigning two ENIs for one vessel, whereas RIS authorities need the data for several RIS applications, such as keeping lock diaries and preparing lock statistics. The number of Inland AIS transponders is still quickly growing making an efficient data exchange essential for proper functioning of the traffic management. A central electronic register (hull data base) to which all authorities are connected is therefore necessary to create an efficient data exchange and to adapt the Annex to this Directive to technical progress.

(4)

At the same time, the number of the competent authorities that can issue Community inland navigation certificates has significantly increased. At present, 49 authorities from 9 Member States are using the database for identification of a vessel and assigning of ENI. These competent authorities need to obtain reliable information on the vessel and its certificate for preparation of technical inspections and for issuing, renewing or withdrawing these certificates. After the certificate has been issued, renewed or withdrawn all other competent authorities have to be informed. A lack or incorrect information might result in incomplete assessments by the competent authority, which might determine a safety risk and an incorrect application of the requirements set out in Directive 2006/87/EC.

(5)

The increased number of the competent EU authorities and the fact that not all Member States exchange their information about the issuance of ENI’s with other Member States has a negative impact on the effective exchange of information between them, which in turn affects the issuance of certificates pursuant to the requirements of Directive 2006/87/EC since it is possible that two certificates are issued based on the same ENI. This contrasts with the situation on the Rhine where there are only a few authorities issuing certificates and all Rhine authorities are engaged in active communication among themselves making the flow of information between them effective. An efficient data exchange based on the hull data base is therefore a necessary condition for guaranteeing an equivalent level of safety between the Community inland navigation certificate and the certificate issued pursuant to Article 22 of the Revised Convention for Rhine Navigation.

(6)

It is necessary to ensure that the level of protection of individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in the process of vessel identification complies with the requirements laid down in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (4) and with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).

(7)	Directive 2006/87/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 7 of Council Directive 91/672/EEC of 16 December 1991 on the reciprocal recognition of national boatmasters’ certificates for the carriage of goods and passengers by inland waterway (6),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex II to Directive 2006/87/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Member States which have inland waterways as referred to in Article 1(1) of Directive 2006/87/EC shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within one year from its entry into force. 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.

Article 3

All processing of personal data for the purposes of this Directive shall be in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.

Article 4

This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Article 5

This Directive is addressed to the Member States which have inland waterways as referred to in Article 1(1) of Directive 2006/87/EC.

In Annex II to Directive 2006/87/EC, Article 2.18(6) is replaced by the following:

‘6.

The competent authorities referred to in paragraph 5 shall enter each assigned European Vessel Identification Number, the data for the identification of the vessel set out in Appendix IV as well as any changes without delay into the electronic register kept by the Commission (“the hull data base”). These data may be used by competent authorities of other Member States and the Contracting States of the Mannheim Convention, for the sole purpose of performing administrative measures for maintaining safety and ease of navigation and for implementation of Articles 2.02 to 2.15 and Article 2.18(3) of this Annex as well as Articles 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 and 17 of this Directive.

Member States shall, in accordance with Union and national legislation, take the necessary measures to ensure the confidentiality and reliability of information sent to them pursuant to this Directive and shall only use such information in compliance with this Directive.

The competent authority of a Member State may transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation provided the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), particularly of Articles 25 or 26, are fulfilled and only on a case-by-case basis. The competent authority of the Member State shall ensure that the transfer is necessary for the purposes referred to in subparagraph 1. The competent authority shall ensure that the third country or international organisation does not transfer the data to another third country or international organisation unless it is given express written authorisation and complies with the conditions specified by the competent authority of the Member State.

The transfer of personal data to a third country or international organisation by the Commission shall be carried out provided the requirements of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) are fulfilled and only on a case-by-case basis. The Commission shall ensure that the transfer is necessary for the purposes referred to in subparagraph 1. The Commission shall ensure that the third country or international organisation does not transfer the data to another third country or international organisation unless it is given express written authorisation and complies with the conditions specified by the Commission.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 7 October 2013

on subjecting 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures

(2013/496/EU)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Decision 2005/387/JHA of 10 May 2005 on the information exchange, risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal of the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

A Risk Assessment Report on the new psychoactive substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole was drawn up in accordance with Article 6 of Decision 2005/387/JHA by the extended Scientific Committee of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) during a special session, and was subsequently submitted to the Commission and to the Council on 16 April 2013.

(2)

The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is a synthetic derivative of indole substituted at the phenyl side of the indole ring system. It appears to be a stimulant substance that may also have hallucinogenic effects. 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has been found mostly in powder form but also in tablet and capsule form. It is commercially available on the internet and from ‘head shops’, marketed as a ‘research chemical’. It has also been detected in samples of a product sold as a ‘legal high’ called ‘Benzo Fury’, and in tablets resembling ecstasy.

(3)

The existing information and data suggest that the acute toxicity of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole can provoke adverse effects in humans, such as tachycardia and hyperthermia, and may also cause mydriasis, agitation and tremor. 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole may interact with other substances, including medical products and stimulants that act on the monoaminergic system. The specific physical effects of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole in humans are difficult to determine because there are no published studies assessing its acute and chronic toxicity, its psychological and behavioural effects, or dependence potential, and because of the limited information and data available.

(4)

There have been a total of 24 fatalities registered in four Member States from April to August 2012, in relation to which 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole alone, or in combination with other substances, was detected in post-mortem samples. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the role of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole in all of the fatalities, in some cases it has been specifically noted in the cause of death. If this new psychoactive substance were to become more widely available and used, the implications for individual and public health could be significant. There is no information available on the social risks posed by 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole.

(5)

Nine European countries have reported to the EMCDDA and to the European Police Office (Europol) that they reported detection of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole. No prevalence data is available on the use of 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole, but the limited information that exists suggests that it may be consumed in similar environments as other stimulants, such as in the home, in bars and nightclubs or at music festivals.

(6)	There is no information that suggests that 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is manufactured in the Union, and there is no evidence suggesting the involvement of organised crime in the manufacture, distribution or supply of this new psychoactive substance.

(7)

The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has no known, established or acknowledged medical value or use, and there is no marketing authorisation covering this new psychoactive substance in the Union. Apart from its use as an analytical reference standard and in scientific research, there is no indication that it is being used for other purposes.

(8)

The substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole has not been, nor is it currently, under assessment by the United Nations system, as defined in Decision 2005/387/JHA. Two Member States control this new psychoactive substance under their national legislation by virtue of their obligations under the 1971 United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Five European countries apply national legislation on new psychoactive substances, dangerous goods or medicines to control 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole.

(9)

The Risk Assessment Report reveals that there is limited scientific evidence available on 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole and points out that further research would be needed to determine the health and social risks that it poses. However, the available evidence and information provides sufficient ground for subjecting 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures across the Union. As a result of the health risks that it poses, as documented by its detection in several reported fatalities, of the fact that users may unknowingly consume it, and of the lack of medical value or use, 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole should be subjected to control measures across the Union.

(10)

Since six Member States already control 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole by means of different types of legislative provisions, subjecting this substance to control measures across the Union would help avoid the emergence of obstacles to cross-border law enforcement and judicial cooperation, and protect users from the risks that its consumption can pose.

(11)

Decision 2005/387/JHA reserves to the Council implementing powers to enable the provision of a quick, expertise-based response at Union level to the emergence of new psychoactive substances detected and reported by the Member States, by means of submitting those substances to control measures across the Union. As the conditions and procedure for triggering the exercise of such implementing powers have been met, an implementing decision should be adopted in order to put 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole under control across the Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The new psychoactive substance 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole is hereby subjected to control measures across the Union.

Article 2

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 10 October 2013

concerning a Union financial contribution towards surveillance and other emergency measures implemented in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland against African swine fever in neighbouring third countries

(notified under document C(2013) 6540)

(Only the Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish texts are authentic)

(2013/498/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (2), and in particular Article 84 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	African swine fever (ASF) is an infectious, usually fatal, viral disease of domestic and wild boars which causes serious disturbances to intra-Union trade in and export to third countries of live pigs and products derived from animals of the porcine species.

(2)

Following the confirmation of ASF in Georgia in 2007, the disease spread to the Russian Federation where numerous outbreaks of that disease have been reported in pigs and wild boar throughout the European part of Russia. Furthermore, in June 2013, Belarus reported the confirmation of an outbreak of ASF in backyard pigs in the region of Grodno, some forty kilometres from the Lithuanian border and close to the border with Poland.

(3)

The ASF situation in countries bordering the European Union constitutes a direct threat to pig holdings within the Union, because the virus may be introduced into Member States bordering the infected third countries through wild boar entering Union territory from infected areas, but also through vehicles which have transported live animals and feed or through the unauthorised introduction into the Union of products derived from animals of the porcine species.

(4)

The risk of ASF introduction into the Union is higher for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland due to the occurrence and the evolution of this diseases in the bordering territory of Belarus and the Russian Federation and they have informed the Commission and the other Member States of the measures that they intended to adopt for the protection of their territories and of other Member States.

(5)

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland implemented surveillance for the early detection of ASF both in wild boars and domestic pigs and have raised disease awareness and preparedness in the framework of their contingency plans drawn up in accordance with Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) to ensure a rapid response should ASF be introduced. Lithuania is directly threatened by the presence of ASF across the border in Belarus, in order to minimise the risk of disease spread on its territory should ASF be introduced, Lithuania intends to establish a buffer zone of 10 kilometres along the border with Belarus, in which they will decrease the density of susceptible hosts by promoting slaughter of pigs and preventing restocking of pig holdings.

(6)

Wild boars moving through borders between the affected third countries and the EU pose a risk of ASF introduction, especially in some areas with intensive agriculture where the wild boar is attracted by crops. As a short time risk mitigation measure, in an attempt to reduce this risk and based on available preliminary research data on the efficacy of the use of repellents consisting of synthetic odorous substances suggesting quite high efficiency and a relative long lasting period, Lithuania intends to apply these repellents in some areas of its territory close to its eastern border in order to deter wild boars from entering the maize and other crops fields.

(7)

Cleansing and disinfection of vehicles that were possibly in contact with the ASF virus is one of the precautionary measures against the entry of ASF into the Union. Therefore, Commission Implementing Decision 2013/426/EU (4) lays down certain measures to prevent the introduction into the Union of ASF from Belarus and the Russian Federation and establishes that vehicles which have transported live animals and feed and which enter the Union from infected areas are appropriately cleansed and disinfected, and that such cleansing and disinfection is properly documented.

(8)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 (5), the risk of ASF introduction into the Union by personal consignments containing pig products sent by post or carried in the baggage of travellers arriving in particular from Belarus and the Russian Federation, is higher than negligible and requires additional controls at the points of entry.

(9)	In addition, a wide range of stakeholders including veterinarians, professional and non-professional farmers, truck drivers, custom agents, passengers and the general public should be made aware of the risks of ASF introduction and its consequences by means of well-targeted awareness campaigns.

(10)

In the first week of August 2013, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland submitted their respective plans and initial estimates of cost for the implementation of emergency measures in the areas considered at risk of introduction of ASF from Belarus and the Russian Federation. Financial support for personnel is required to ensure the implementation of the surveillance activities foreseen in the submitted plans. The plans have been examined by the Commission for Union financial contribution and were found to comply with Directive 2002/60/EC.

(11)	The actions undertaken by Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland in order to directly reduce the risk of disease introduction into the Union, namely cleansing and disinfection of vehicles, should be co-financed at a rate of 100 %.

(12)	The additional surveillance undertaken by Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland in the areas at higher risk of disease introduction and the actions undertaken in the framework of the awareness campaign by those Member States should be co-financed at a rate of 50 %.

(13)

The actions undertaken by Lithuania using repellents in defined high risk areas close to its eastern borders in order to reduce the risk of disease introduction into the Union via wild boar, should be co-financed at a rate of 50 %. The special actions undertaken by Lithuania to decrease the density of pigs at the border with Belarus should be co-financed at a rate of 30 %.

(14)	Due to the urgency of the measures, the cost incurred by Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland since 2 July 2013, the date of notification of the emergency measures, should be eligible for Union financial contributions.

(15)

Article 8(3) of Decision 2009/470/EC provides that the eligible costs and the level, of the financial contribution from the Union must be set out. However, given the need to prevent excessive expenditure for the Union budget, maximum amounts are to be established which reflect the reasonable payment for certain surveillance activities.

(16)	A reasonable payment is a payment for a material or a service at a proportionate price compared to the market price. Pending on-the-spot checks carried out by the Commission, it is now necessary to approve specific financial contribution from the Union to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

(17)	The payment of the financial contribution shall be subject to the condition that the actions planned have actually been carried out and that the authorities supply all the necessary information to the Commission.

(18)

As the plans submitted by Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland for emergency measures against the introduction of ASF from Belarus and the Russian Federation carried out in 2013 are a sufficiently detailed framework in the meaning of Article 94 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (6), the present decision constitutes a financing decision for the expenditure provided for in the work programme for grants.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 10 October 2013

on a measure taken by Germany according to Article 11 of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council prohibiting an electric mini-ATV of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd

(notified under document C(2013) 6552)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/499/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the German authorities notified to the Commission and to the other Member States a measure prohibiting the placing on the market of an electric mini-ATV (all-terrain vehicle) of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd, Zhiying Street, Guashan Industry Area, Yongkang, Zhejiang, China, imported into the EU by QBB Funsporthandel, Hofstraβe 21, 56841 Traben-Trarbach, Germany.

(2)

The reason for the measure given by the German authorities was the non-conformity of the mini-ATV with the following essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC:

—	1.3.2 — Risk of break-up during operation The frame of the ATV was liable to break up during use due to the low quality of the welding;

—	1.3.7 — Risks related to moving parts The belt drive was accessible and was not guarded;

—	1.7.3 — Marking of machinery The marking did not include the full name and address of the manufacturer;

—	1.7.4 — Instructions The mini-ATV was not accompanied by instructions in German.

(3)	The German authorities also noted that, while the product bore the CE marking, it was not accompanied by an EC Declaration of conformity drawn up and signed by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, as required by Article 5(1)(e) of Directive 2006/42/EC.

(4)	The notification was accompanied by an inspection report established by the Landesamt für Umwelt, Wasserwirtschaft und Gewerbeaufsicht Rheinland-Pfalz.

(5)	In accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11(3) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Commission wrote to the manufacturer and the importer inviting them to comment on the measure taken by the German authorities. No reply was received.

(6)

Examination of the evidence provided by the German authorities confirms that the electric mini-ATV of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd fails to comply with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC and that this non-conformity gives rise to risks of injury to users,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The measure taken by the German authorities prohibiting the placing on the market of an electric mini-ATV of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd is justified.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
