COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/2201

of 13 December 2021

amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1770 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 of 28 September 2017 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali (1),

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1770 (2) gives effect to Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 and provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons designated by the United Nations Security Council (the ‘Security Council’) or by the relevant United Nations Sanctions Committee as responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Mali.

(2)	Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/2208 (3) establishes criteria for Union autonomous listings.

(3)	Regulatory action at the Union level is therefore necessary to give effect to Decision (CFSP) 2021/2208, in particular with a view to ensuring uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.

(4)	Regulation (EU) 2017/1770 should therefore be amended accordingly,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2021/2202

of 9 December 2021

amending Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for acequinocyl, Bacillus subtilis strain IAB/BS03, emamectin, flutolanil and imazamox in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(1) and Article 14(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

For flutolanil and imazamox, maximum residue levels (‘MRLs’) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For acequinocyl and emamectin, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. For Bacillus subtilis strain IAB/BS03, no specific MRLs were set nor was that substance included in Annex IV to that Regulation, so the default value of 0.01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) thereof applies.

(2)	In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance acequinocyl on citrus fruits, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs.

(3)	As regards emamectin, such an application was submitted for kiwi fruits and peaches. As regards flutolanil, such an application was submitted for beans (with pods) and globe artichokes. As regards imazamox, such an application was submitted for peas (with pods), soyabeans, maize/corn and rice.

(4)	In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, those applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission.

(5)

The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). It forwarded those opinions to the applicants, the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public.

(6)	As regards flutolanil, the applicant submitted information previously unavailable during the review conducted in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. That information concerns residue trials, analytical methods, storage stability and metabolism in ruminants.

(7)	As regards imazamox, the applicant submitted such an information on residue trials, analytical methods and plant metabolism.

(8)

In the context of the approval of the active substance Bacillus subtilis strain IAB/BS03, an MRL application was included in the summary dossier in accordance with Article 8(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That application was evaluated by the Member State concerned in accordance with Article 11(2) of that Regulation. The Authority assessed the application and delivered a conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance (4). In that conclusion, the Authority could not conclude on the dietary risk assessment for consumers as some information was not available and further consideration by risk managers was required. Such further consideration was reflected in the review report (5) which concluded that the organism is not pathogenic to humans and no toxins or toxic metabolites are expected to occur in food following the use of the active substance. In view of those conclusions, the Commission considers that Bacillus subtilis strain IAB/BS03 should be included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(9)	Based on the reasoned opinions and the conclusion of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the respective modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(10)	Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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.

of 13 December 2021

amending Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), as regards carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicant (CMR) substances

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 68(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Entries 28, 29 and 30 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 prohibit the placing on the market and use, for supply to the general public, of substances that are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicant (CMR), categories 1A or 1B, and listed in Appendices 1 to 6 to that Annex and of mixtures containing such substances above specified concentrations.

(2)	Substances classified as CMR are listed in Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

(3)

Appendices 1 to 6 to Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/2096 (3), do not yet reflect the new classifications of substances as CMR under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended by Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2020/1182 (4) and (EU) 2021/849 (5). It is therefore appropriate to add the newly classified CMR substances of categories 1A or 1B listed in Delegated Regulations (EU) 2020/1182 and (EU) 2021/849 to Appendices 2, 4 and 6 to Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

(4)

The classification of substances listed in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182 will apply from 1 March 2022. The restriction introduced by this Regulation as regards substances classified as CMR category 1A or 1B by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182 should therefore apply from 1 March 2022. The date of application does not prevent operators from applying the restrictions related to the CMR substances category 1A or 1B classified under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1182 earlier.

(5)

The classification of substances listed in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/849 will apply from 17 December 2022. The restriction introduced by this Regulation as regards substances classified as CMR category 1A or 1B by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/849 should therefore apply from 17 December 2022. The date of application does not prevent operators from applying the restrictions related to the CMR substances category 1A or 1B classified under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/849 earlier.

(6)	Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 133(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/2205

of 13 December 2021

amending Regulation (EC) No 847/2006 as regards the volume of certain prepared or preserved fish originating in Thailand that may be imported under tariff quota 09.0706

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Decision 2006/324/EC of 27 February 2006 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Thailand pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the course of their accession to the European Union (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 847/2006 (2) establishes the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain prepared or preserved fish. The Agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Thailand pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions on all the tariff-rate quotas included in the EU Schedule CLXXV as a consequence of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (3), lays down the quantity for certain tariff-rate quotas of the Union with regard to the volumes of products to be imported from Thailand. The Agreement entered into force on 20 July 2021.

(2)	The quantity for certain tariff-rate quotas of the Union as laid down in that Agreement for the volume of certain prepared or preserved fish should be reflected in Regulation (EC) No 847/2006.

(3)	Regulation (EC) No 847/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

Due to the urgent need to implement the Agreement, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. As the amendments introduced by this Regulation concern the tariff quota period that is ongoing on the date of its entry into force, it is necessary to lay down transitional provisions for that period.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 847/2006

Regulation (EC) No 847/2006 is amended as follows:

(1)

in Article 1, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

‘2. An annual tariff quota of 1 054 tonnes with exemption of customs duties shall be opened for Union imports of prepared or preserved fish of sardines, bonito, mackerel of the species Scomber scombrus and Scomber japonicus, fish of the species Orcynopsis unicolor, other than whole or in pieces, falling within CN code 1604 20 50.’;

(2)

in Article 2, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

‘2. of the tariff quota of 1 054 tonnes in Article 1(2), 423 tonnes shall apply within order number 09.0706 to imports originating in Thailand, and the remaining part, notably 631 tonnes, shall apply within order number 09.0707 to imports originating in all third countries except the United Kingdom.’.

Article 2

Transitional provisions for the ongoing tariff quota period

1. The volume available for the remainder of the tariff quota period that is ongoing on the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall be the difference between the quota volume as amended by this Regulation and the quota volume already allocated before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

2. If upon the entry into force of this Regulation, the quota applicable on 13 December 2021 was exhausted, the new quota volume available shall be allocated to operators following the chronological order of the acceptance dates of their customs declarations for release for free circulation. Operators who imported their goods during the ongoing tariff quota period, but before the entry into force of this Regulation, without benefitting from the tariff quota shall be reimbursed, at their request and to the extent that the balance of the tariff quota so permits, the difference in duty already paid.

Article 3

Entry into force

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.

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2021/2206

of 9 December 2021

authorising the Member States to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Jamaica to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81(3) in conjunction with Article 218(6), second subparagraph, point (b), thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

(1)	The Union has set as one of its aims the promotion of the protection of the rights of the child, as stated in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union. Measures for the protection of children against wrongful removal or retention are an essential part of that policy.

(2)

The Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 (2) (‘Brussels IIa Regulation’), which aims to protect children from the harmful effects of wrongful removal or retention and to establish procedures to ensure their prompt return to the State of their habitual residence, as well as to secure the protection of rights of access and rights of custody.

(3)

The Brussels IIa Regulation complements and reinforces the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (‘the 1980 Hague Convention’) which establishes, at international level, a system of obligations and cooperation among Contracting States and between central authorities and aims at ensuring the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained children.

(4)	All Member States are party to the 1980 Hague Convention.

(5)

The Union encourages third States to accede to the 1980 Hague Convention and supports the correct implementation of the 1980 Hague Convention by participating, along with the Member States, inter alia, in the special commissions organised on a regular basis by the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

(6)	A common legal framework applicable between Member States and third States could be the best solution for sensitive cases of international child abduction.

(7)	The 1980 Hague Convention stipulates that it applies between the acceding State and such Contracting States as have declared their acceptance of the accession.

(8)	The 1980 Hague Convention does not allow regional economic integration organisations such as the Union to become party to it. Therefore, the Union cannot accede to that Convention, nor can it deposit a declaration of acceptance of an acceding State.

(9)	According to Opinion 1/13 of the Court of Justice of the European Union (3), declarations of acceptance under the 1980 Hague Convention fall within the exclusive external competence of the Union.

(10)	Jamaica deposited its instrument of accession to the 1980 Hague Convention on 24 February 2017. The 1980 Hague Convention entered into force for Jamaica on 1 May 2017.

(11)	An assessment of the situation in Jamaica has led to the conclusion that the Member States are in a position to accept, in the interest of the Union, the accession of Jamaica under the terms of the 1980 Hague Convention.

(12)	The Member States should therefore be authorised to deposit their declarations of acceptance of the accession of Jamaica in the interest of the Union in accordance with the terms set out in this Decision.

(13)	Ireland is bound by the Brussels IIa Regulation and is therefore taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.

(14)	In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The Member States are hereby authorised to accept the accession of Jamaica to the 1980 Hague Convention in the interest of the Union.

2. The Member States shall, no later than 10 December 2022, deposit a declaration of acceptance of the accession of Jamaica to the 1980 Hague Convention in the interest of the Union, to be worded as follows:

‘[Full name of MEMBER STATE] declares that it accepts the accession of Jamaica to the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, in accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2021/2206’.

3. The Member States shall inform the Council and the Commission of the deposit of their declarations of acceptance of the accession of Jamaica and shall communicate the text of those declarations within two months of their deposit to the Commission.

Article 2

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

Article 3

This Decision shall apply in accordance with the Treaties.

COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2021/2208

of 13 December 2021

amending Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1)	On 28 September 2017, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 (1) concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali.

(2)

On 24 and 25 May 2021, the European Council adopted conclusions in which it strongly condemned the coup d’état which took place in Mali on 24 May 2021 with the detention of the President of the Transition of Mali and the Prime Minister and stated that the Union is ready to consider targeted measures against political and military leaders who obstruct the Malian transition.

(3)

On 26 May 2021, the Security Council of the United Nations noted with concern the risk of negative impact of the aforementioned events of 24 May 2021 on ongoing efforts to counter terrorism, implement the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali (the ‘Agreement’) and stabilise the centre of Mali.

(4)

On 29 June 2021, the Security Council of the United Nations adopted Resolution 2584 (2021), in which it further condemned the events of 24 May 2021 and expressed significant impatience with the persistent delays in the implementation of the Agreement. It called on all Malian stakeholders to facilitate the full realisation of the political transition and handover of power to elected civilian authorities within the 18-month transition period, as decided during the 15 September 2020 meeting of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It called on Mali’s Transitional Government to organise free and fair presidential and legislative elections, scheduled for 27 February 2022, along with regional and local elections and a constitutional referendum, as appropriate, within that 18-month time frame.

(5)	On 18 October 2021, the Council discussed the situation in Mali and indicated the possibility of considering restrictive measures, in support of efforts by ECOWAS, and in line with the conclusions adopted by the European Council in May, against those hindering the transition agenda.

(6)

On 7 November 2021, ECOWAS highly deplored the lack of progress made in the preparations for the elections, including the absence of a detailed timetable of activities for the conduct of elections on the agreed dates. It reiterated the need to adhere to the transition timetable in respect of the elections scheduled for 27 February 2022 and called on the Transition Authorities to act accordingly to ensure an expeditious return to constitutional order. It called on the International Community to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Transition Authorities respect their commitment to an expeditious return to constitutional order. It decided to impose sanctions with immediate effect against identified individuals and groups, including the entire Transition Authorities and the other Transition institutions. It called on bilateral and multilateral partners to endorse and support the implementation of these sanctions.

(7)	On 15 November 2021, the Council agreed to establish a dedicated framework for restrictive measures in view of the situation in Mali, supporting the decision taken by ECOWAS on 7 November 2021.

(8)	Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)	Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision (CFSP) 2017/1775 is amended as follows:

(1)	in Article 1, in paragraphs 1 and 5, ‘the Annex’ is replaced by ‘Annex I’;

(2)

the following Article is inserted after Article 1:

‘Article 1a

1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of natural persons:

(a)	being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly in actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of Mali, such as those actions or policies referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1;

(b)	obstructing or undermining the successful completion of the political transition of Mali, including by obstructing or undermining the holding of elections or the handover of power to elected authorities; or

(c)	being associated with natural persons referred to in points (a) or (b).

The designated persons referred to in this paragraph are listed in Annex II.

2. Paragraph 1 shall not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory.

3. Paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the cases where a Member State is bound by an obligation of international law, namely:

(a)	as a host country of an international intergovernmental organisation;

(b)	as a host country to an international conference convened by, or under the auspices of, the United Nations;

(c)	under a multilateral agreement conferring privileges and immunities; or

4. Paragraph 3 shall also apply in cases where a Member State is host country of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

5. The Council shall be duly informed in all cases where a Member State grants an exemption pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4.

6. Member States may grant exemptions from the measures imposed under paragraph 1 where travel is justified on the grounds of urgent humanitarian need, or on grounds of attending intergovernmental meetings or meetings promoted or hosted by the Union, or hosted by a Member State holding the Chairmanship in office of the OSCE, where a political dialogue is conducted that directly promotes the policy objectives of restrictive measures.

7. Member States may also grant exemptions from the measures imposed under paragraph 1 where entry or transit is necessary for the fulfilment of a judicial process.

8. A Member State wishing to grant exemptions referred to in paragraphs 6 or 7 shall notify the Council in writing. The exemption shall be deemed to be granted unless one or more Member States raises an objection in writing within two working days of receiving notification of the proposed exemption.
