COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/177

of 10 February 2016

approving the active substance benzovindiflupyr, as a candidate for substitution, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 24 in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, France received on 20 December 2012 an application from Syngenta Crop Protection AG for the approval of the active substance benzovindiflupyr.

(2)

In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, France, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) of the admissibility of the application on 15 February 2013.

(3)

On 25 March 2014 the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the Authority, assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(4)

The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report in February 2015.

(5)

On 10 March 2015 the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion on whether the active substance benzovindiflupyr can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (2). The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

(6)

On 13 July 2015 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for benzovindiflupyr and a draft Regulation providing that benzovindiflupyr is approved.

(7)

The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

(8)

It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.

(9)

The Commission however considers that benzovindiflupyr is a candidate for substitution pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Benzovindiflupyr is a persistent and toxic substance in accordance with points 3.7.2.1 and 3.7.2.3 respectively, of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, given that the half-life in soil and fresh water sediment is higher than 120 days and the long-term no-observed effect concentration for freshwater organisms is less than 0,01 mg/L. Benzovindiflupyr therefore fulfils the condition set in the second indent of point 4 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(10)

It is therefore appropriate to approve benzovindiflupyr as a candidate for substitution.

(11)

In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

(12)

In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should be amended accordingly.

(13)

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

Approval of the active substance as a candidate for substitution

The active substance benzovindiflupyr is approved as set out in Annex I as a candidate for substitution.

Article 2

Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

Entry into force

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/178

of 10 February 2016

amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards removal from the Union list of certain flavouring 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 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91, Regulations (EC) No 2232/96 and (EC) No 110/2008 and Directive 2000/13/EC (1), and in particular Articles 11(3) and 25(3) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2), and in particular Article 7(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 lays down a Union list of flavourings and source materials approved for use in and on foods and their conditions of use.

(2)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 872/2012 (3) adopted the list of flavouring substances and introduced that list it in Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008.

(3)

That list may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application submitted by a Member State or by an interested party.

(4)

The Union list of flavourings and source materials contains a number of substances for which the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has not completed the evaluation or it has requested additional scientific data to be provided for completion of the evaluation. For four of these substances, namely, vetiverol (FL No 02.214), vetiveryl acetate (FL No 09.821), 2-acetyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin (FL No 14.079), and 2-propionyl pyrroline 1 % vegetable oil triglycerides (FL No 14.168), the persons responsible for placing these flavouring substances on the market have now withdrawn the application. Therefore, these flavouring substances should be removed from the Union list.

(5)

With regard to substance methyl-2-mercaptopropionate (FL No 12.266), the person responsible for placing it on the market has indicated that it no longer supports its use. Therefore, this flavouring substance should be removed from the Union list.

(6)

Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 873/2012 (4) laid down transitional measures for food containing flavouring substances which were lawfully placed on the market or labelled prior to 22 October 2014 in order to ensure a smooth transition in the market. An equivalent additional transitional period should be provided for food containing those five substances in order to enable food business operators to adapt to the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(8)

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

Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Foods containing the flavouring substances vetiverol (FL No 02.214), vetiveryl acetate (FL No 09.821), methyl-2-mercaptopropionate (FL No 12.266), 2-acetyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin (FL No 14.079), and 2-propionyl pyrroline 1 % vegetable oil triglycerides (FL No 14.168), which are lawfully placed on the market or labelled prior to 6 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation but which do not comply with Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 may be marketed until their date of minimum durability or use by date.

Article 3

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.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/180

of 9 February 2016

amending the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU concerning animal health control measures relating to African swine fever in certain Member States, as regards the entries for Estonia, Lithuania and Poland

(notified under document C(2016) 686)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Implementing Decision demarcates and lists certain areas of those Member States in Parts I, II, III and IV of that Annex differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

(2)

Since September 2014, no outbreaks of African swine fever in domestic pigs have been notified in the rajono savivaldybė of Ignalina, Molėtai, Rokiškis, Švenčionys, Utena, Zarasai and the savivaldybė of Visaginas in Lithuania. In addition, supervision of biosecurity measures has been implemented in holdings in a satisfactory manner and results of surveillance show the absence of African swine fever virus in holdings in those areas of Lithuania. This indicates an improvement in the epidemiological situation. Accordingly, those areas of that Member State should now be listed in Part II, instead of Part III, of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.

(3)

In December 2015, few cases of African swine fever in wild boar occurred in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, in the areas listed in Part II of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU, in close proximity to the areas listed in Part I of that Annex. In the same period, one case of African swine fever in wild boar in Estonia occurred in the area listed in Part I of that Annex.

(4)

The evolution of the current epidemiological situation in the Union as regards African swine fever should be considered in the assessment of the risk represented by the animal health situation as regards that disease in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland. In order to focus animal health control measures and to prevent the further spread of African swine fever, as well as to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should be amended to take into account the changes in the current epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Estonia, Lithuania and in Poland.

(5)

Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should therefore be amended to modify the areas listed in Parts I and II of Estonia and Poland and in Parts I, II and III of Lithuania.

(6)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
