COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/905

of 27 February 2023

supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the application of the prohibition of use of certain antimicrobial medicinal products in animals or products of animal origin exported from third countries into the Union

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on veterinary medicinal products and repealing Directive 2001/82/EC (1), and in particular Article 118(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to public health. When resistance develops to an antimicrobial agent used to treat a specific infection for which there are no alternative treatments and that resistance spreads, it has serious and potentially life-threatening consequences for humans. Human health, animal health and the environment are interlinked. Therefore, one of the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 is to contain the spread of antimicrobial resistance with concrete measures to promote the prudent and responsible use of antimicrobial medicinal products in animals.

(2)

The use of antimicrobial medicinal products to promote growth or to increase yield is neither prudent nor responsible. An extensive body of scientific literature has shown that the use of antimicrobials for such purposes can trigger antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, by Regulation (EU) 2019/6, the use of antimicrobial medicinal products for the purpose of promoting growth or to increase yield is prohibited, which includes antimicrobials contained in veterinary medicinal products as well as antimicrobials contained in human medicinal products.

(3)

Moreover, Regulation (EU) 2019/6 provides for the procedure to designate certain antimicrobials to be reserved for the treatment of infections in humans. Such antimicrobials are not to be used in antimicrobial medicinal products administered to animals. That measure aims to preserve the efficacy of certain antimicrobials used to treat infections in humans, especially those considered treatments of last resort. Criteria for the designation of antimicrobials reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans are laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1760 (2) and the list of antimicrobials reserved for treatment of certain infections in humans is set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1255 (3).

(4)

The international dimension of the development of antimicrobial resistance should also be considered. Specifically, Article 118(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 provides that, in respect of animals or products of animal origin that are exported from third countries into the Union, operators in third countries are not to use antimicrobial medicinal products to promote growth or to increase yield, and are not to use the designated antimicrobials or groups of antimicrobials reserved for treatment of infections in humans.

(5)

Medicated feed is one of the routes for the oral administration of medicinal products to animals. Therefore, the prohibition of use of certain antimicrobial medicinal products in respect of animals or products of animal origin that are exported from third countries into the Union should also apply when such antimicrobial medicinal products are administered via medicated feed.

(6)

A robust system of controls regarding animals or products of animal origin that are exported from third countries into the Union is essential to ensure compliance with the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/6. No specific system of controls on imports of animals or products of animal origin exists under the Union framework on veterinary medicinal products. The setting up of such dedicated framework of controls would have necessitated significant amount of resources and time. Moreover, it would have led to duplications at the level of the competent authorities and also on the operators concerned. For reasons of effectiveness and reduction of administrative burden, the existing Union framework on official controls is to be used to verify compliance of animals or products of animal origin entering the Union from third countries with Regulation (EU) 2019/6. To this effect, Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/1756 (5). Therefore, the verification of compliance with the requirements set out in Article 118(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 is to be done in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/625.

(7)

The consignments of animals or products of animal origin entering the Union that are subject to the prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products to promote growth or to increase yield and on the use of antimicrobials reserved for treatment of certain infections in humans should be clearly set out. Therefore, this Delegated Regulation should provide detailed rules on the prohibition laid down in Article 118(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6.

(8)

The vast majority of the consumption of antimicrobials in animals (in volume) relates to food-producing animals. In addition, there is increasing scientific evidence that the use of antimicrobials in food-producing animals has an impact on the development of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, addressing antimicrobial resistance requires particular action on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products in food-producing animals or products of animal origin intended for human consumption. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, taking such action will contribute effectively to address the international dimension of the development of antimicrobial resistance while minimising the impacts on trade.

(9)

Moreover, it should be clarified that the prohibition of use of certain antimicrobials set out in Article 118(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 concerns food-producing animals or products of animal origin intended for human consumption that are exported from third countries into the Union. To ensure legal certainty, the animals and products of animal origin concerned should be identified by means of references to the Combined Nomenclature codes set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (6).

(10)

Consignments of animals or products concerned that are only intended for transit, as well as products concerned intended for the purpose of samples for product analysis and quality testing that are not placed on the market, should not be covered by this Regulation.

(11)

Consignments of the animals or products concerned that are exported from third countries into the Union should comply with the same restrictions that apply in the Union in relation to the objectives pursued by Articles 107(2) and 37(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6. To that effect, consignments of the animals or products concerned should only be allowed to enter the Union in the case that the third countries or regions thereof, from which those animals or products originate, can ensure compliance with the prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products for the purpose of promoting growth or to increase yield, and on the use of antimicrobials that have been reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans.

(12)

Third countries -or regions- thereof that meet those requirements are to be included in a list that is to be drawn up by the Commission, by means of implementing acts, in accordance with Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Third countries or regions thereof are to be included on that list on the basis of available evidence and guarantees that the concerned animals or products originating in them comply with the Union’s prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products for the purpose of promoting growth or to increase yield, and on use of antimicrobials that have been reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans.

(13)

Consignments of animals or products concerned entering the Union from third countries listed in accordance with Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 should also be accompanied by an official certificate confirming compliance with the Union’s prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products for the purpose of promoting growth or to increase yield, and on use of antimicrobials that have been reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans.

(14)

The Commission should adopt specific requirements on the official certificates required, by means of implementing acts, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/625.

(15)

The conditions for entry into the Union of consignments of animals or products concerned will be known to third country operators as from the date of publication of this Regulation. However, the practical application of the framework laid down in this Regulation will necessitate the adoption of further implementing measures. For reasons of predictability and legal certainty and with a view to allow stakeholders concerned sufficient time to comply with the Union requirements, the conditions for the entry into the Union of consignments of animals or products set out in this Regulation should be deferred,

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2023/909

of 25 April 2023

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Trade Committee established under the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, as regards the amendment of Protocol 1 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (1) (‘the Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2020/753 (2) and entered into force on 1 August 2020.

(2)

Pursuant to Article 36 of Protocol 1 to the Agreement (‘Protocol 1’), the Committee on Customs may review the provisions of Protocol 1 and submit a proposal for a decision to be adopted by the Trade Committee.

(3)

Pursuant to Article 17.1 of the Agreement, the Trade Committee is to evaluate and adopt decisions, where provided for in the Agreement, regarding any subject matter referred to it by the Committee on Customs.

(4)

The Trade Committee is to adopt a Decision amending Annex II to Protocol 1.

(5)

Amendments were introduced on 1 January 2017 and on 1 January 2022 in relation to the nomenclature governed by the Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (‘HS’). This Decision is necessary in order to update Protocol 1 and its annexes so as to reflect the latest version of the HS.

(6)

There is no condition in Annex II to Protocol 1 for considering knitted or crocheted products of Heading 6212 to be sufficiently worked or processed. The rule of Chapter 62 in Annex II to Protocol 1 cannot be applied to those products, since it is limited to products not knitted or crocheted. Therefore, a specific rule should be added for the knitted or crocheted products of Heading 6212.

(7)

The required working or processing of products classified in Chapter 41 in Annex II to Protocol 1 is to be added to the relevant column in that Annex.

(8)

The word ‘individual’ in the third and fourth conditions of the required working or processing of products classified in Chapter 19 in Annex II to Protocol 1 could be interpreted in different ways as regards the content of materials of Chapter 4 and the content of sugar. To clarify the rule, the word ‘individual’ is to be deleted in both instances.

(9)

For textile products classified in Chapter 62 in Annex II to Protocol 1, reference to the tolerances should be inserted in the various alternative rules of the required working or processing column.

(10)

It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the Committee on Customs and in the Trade Committee, as the Decision of the Trade Committee will be binding on the Union.

(11)

The position of the Union within the Committee on Customs and within the Trade Committee should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Committee on Customs and within the Trade Committee shall be based on the draft Decision of the Trade Committee attached to this Decision.

Minor technical corrections to the draft Decision may be agreed by the representatives of the Union within the Committee on Customs and within the Trade Committee without any further decision of the Council.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Luxembourg, 25 April 2023.

DRAFT

DECISION No …/… OF THE TRADE COMMITTEE

of …

amending Annex II to Protocol 1, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation

THE TRADE COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, and in particular Article 36(1) of Protocol 1 thereto, and Article 17.1(3), point (c), thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 36(1) of Protocol 1 to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (‘the Agreement’) provides that the Committee on Customs may review the provisions of Protocol 1 and is to submit a proposal for a decision to amend Protocol 1, which is to be adopted by the Trade Committee.

(2)

Article 17.4(1) of the Agreement provides that the Trade Committee may adopt binding decisions where provided for in the Agreement.

(3)

Amendments were introduced on 1 January 2017 and on 1 January 2022 in relation to the nomenclature governed by the Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (‘HS’). The Parties to the Agreement have agreed to amend Annex II to Protocol 1 containing the list of required working or processing in order to reflect the amendments to HS.

(4)

There is no condition in Annex II to Protocol 1 for considering knitted or crocheted products of Heading 6212 to be sufficiently worked or processed. The rule of Chapter 62 in Annex II to Protocol 1 cannot be applied to those products, since it is limited to products not knitted or crocheted. Therefore, a specific rule should be added for the knitted or crocheted products of Heading 6212.

(5)

The required working or processing of products classified in Chapter 41 in Annex II to Protocol 1 is to be added to the relevant column in that Annex.

(6)

The word ‘individual’ in the third and fourth conditions of the required working or processing of products classified in Chapter 19 in Annex II to Protocol 1 could be interpreted differently as regards the content of materials of Chapter 4 and the content of sugar. To clarify the rule, the word ‘individual’ is to be deleted in both instances.

(7)

For textile products classified in Chapter 62 in Annex II to Protocol 1, reference to the tolerances should be inserted in the various alternative rules of the required working or processing column.

(8)

Annex II to Protocol 1 to the Agreement should therefore be amended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex II to Protocol 1 to the Agreement is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2024.

of 3 May 2023

amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 as regards the publication of references of European Assessment Documents for corrugated bitumen tiles or sheets and other construction products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, Technical Assessment Bodies are to use methods and criteria provided in European Assessment Documents, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, for assessing performance of construction products covered by those documents in relation to their essential characteristics.

(2)

In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, following several requests by manufacturers for European Technical Assessments, the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies has drawn up and adopted 25 European Assessment Documents.

(3)

The European Assessment Documents that have been drawn up and adopted by the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies relate to the following construction products:

corrugated bitumen tiles and sheets;

liquid applied bridge deck waterproofing kits;

impact sound insulation mat with additional function of rainwater drainage and protection of external waterproofing layers;

pot bearings with special internal sealing for increased action effects;

kit for system stove - chimney consisting of chimney kit with clay/ceramic flue liner and integrated stove unit;

kits consisting of chimney flue liner, made of glass fibres, mineral and organic substances, additional components and ancillaries (superseding technical specification ‘EAD 060012-00-0802’);

(4)

The European Assessment Documents that have been drawn up and adopted by the organisation of Technical Assessment Bodies satisfy the demands to be met in relation to the basic requirements for construction works set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references to those European Assessment Documents in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5)

The list of references to European Assessment Documents for construction products is published pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 (2). For reasons of clarity, references to new European Assessment Documents should be added to that list.
