COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 25/2011
of 14 January 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Côte d’Ivoire
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215(2) thereof,
Having regard to Decision 2010/656/CFSP of 29 October 2010 renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d'Ivoire (1), as amended by Decision 2011/18/CFSP of 14 January 2011 (2),
Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision 2010/656/CFSP, as amended, provides for the adoption of restrictive measures against certain persons who, while not designated by the United Nations (UN) Security Council or the Sanctions Committee, are obstructing the process of peace and national reconciliation in Côte d’Ivoire and in particular those who are jeopardising the proper outcome of the electoral process, as well as against legal persons, entities or bodies owned or controlled by such persons and persons, entities or bodies acting on their behalf or at their direction. |
(2) |
These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them. |
(3) |
This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and notably the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial and the right to the protection of personal data. This Regulation should be applied in accordance with those rights and principles. This Regulation also fully respects the obligations of Member States under the Charter of the United Nations and the legally binding nature of the UN Security Council Resolutions. |
(4) |
The power to amend the lists in Annexes I and IA to Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security posed by the situation in Côte d’Ivoire, and to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/656/CFSP. |
(5) |
The procedure for amending the lists in Annexes I and IA to Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 should include providing designated natural or legal persons, entities or bodies with the grounds for listing, so as to give them an opportunity to submit observations. Where observations are submitted, or substantial new evidence is presented, the Council should review its decision in light of those observations and inform the person, entity or body concerned accordingly. |
(6) |
For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to create maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources are to be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, should be made public. Any processing of personal data should respect 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 (3) and 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). |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 26/2011
of 14 January 2011
concerning the authorisation of vitamin E as a feed additive for all animal species
(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). |
(2) |
Vitamin E was authorised without time limit as a feed additive for use in all animal species by Directive 70/524/EEC as part of the group ‘Vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’. That additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(3) |
In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of vitamin E as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(4) |
The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 25 May 2010 that, under the proposed conditions of use, vitamin E does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment (3). It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(5) |
The assessment of vitamin E shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |
(6) |
Since the modifications on the conditions of the authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of the premixtures and compound feed. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The preparations specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ are authorised as additives in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
Feed containing vitamin E labelled in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC or Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 may continue to be placed on the market and used until stocks are exhausted.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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 DECISION
of 14 January 2011
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards sealants for non-structural use in joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways
(notified under document C(2011) 62)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/19/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
After consulting the Standing Committee on Construction,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Commission is required to select, in accordance with Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC, one of two procedures for attesting the conformity of a product. That Article prescribes that the Commission should choose the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. It is therefore necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria set out in Article 13(4) of that Directive, the intervention of an approved body is required. |
(2) |
Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products or family of products referred to in the technical specifications. |
(3) |
The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC are described in detail in Annex III to that Directive. It is therefore necessary to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems. |
(4) |
The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III. The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for harmonised European standards.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 14 January 2011.
For the Commission
Antonio TAJANI
Vice-President
(1) OJ L 40, 11.2.1989, p. 12.

Whereas:
(1) |
Pursuant to the first sentence of Article 28.1 of the Statute of the ESCB the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) is EUR 5 000 million. The ECB’s capital was increased to EUR 5 760 652 402,58 in accordance with Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB as a consequence of Member States acceding to the Union and their national central banks joining the European System of Central Banks. |
(2) |

(4) |
Pursuant to the fourth recital of Regulation (EC) No 1009/2000, the Regulation establishes a limit for future increases in the ECB’s capital, thereby enabling the Governing Council of the ECB to decide on an actual increase at some point in the future in order to sustain the adequacy of the capital base needed to support the operations of the ECB. |
(5) |

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 13 December 2010
on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks
(ECB/2010/28)
(2011/22/EU)
THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular Article 47 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 47 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that central banks of Member States with a derogation (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) do not need to pay up their subscribed capital unless the General Council, acting by a majority representing at least two thirds of the subscribed capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) and at least half of the shareholders, decides that a minimal percentage has to be paid up as a contribution to the ECB’s operational costs. |
(2) |
Article 1 of Decision ECB/2008/28 of 15 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-participating national central banks (1) provides that non-euro area NCBs must pay up 7 % of their subscription to the ECB’s capital with effect from 1 January 2009. |
(3) |
Decision ECB/2008/23 of 12 December 2008 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (2) lays down the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital in accordance with Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB and establishes with effect from 1 January 2009 the weightings assigned to each national central bank in the capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’). |
(4) |
Pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2010/26 of 13 December 2010 on the increase of the European Central Bank’s capital (3) the ECB’s capital has been increased by EUR 5 000 million from EUR 5 760 652 402,58 to EUR 10 760 652 402,58 with effect from 29 December 2010. |
(5) |
The increase of the ECB’s capital would require non-euro area NCBs to pay up 7 % of their respective share in the increased capital although the ECB’s operational costs do not justify a higher contribution in absolute terms. To avoid this increased contribution to the operational costs of the ECB by the non-euro area NCBs, it is necessary to decrease the percentage that non-euro area NCBs have to pay up so that the amounts to be paid up remain on a similar level, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Extent and form of subscribed and paid-up capital
Each non-euro area NCB shall pay up 3,75 % of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital with effect from 29 December 2010. Taking into account the capital key weightings laid down in Article 2 of Decision ECB/2008/23, each non-euro area NCB shall have a total subscribed and paid-up capital of the amounts shown next to its name in the following table:
Non-euro area NCB |

Adjustment of the paid-up capital
1. Given that each non-euro area NCB has already paid up 7 % of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital as applicable on 28 December 2010 under Decision ECB/2008/28, each of them shall pay up the additional amount specified in the below table, which is the difference between the paid-up capital specified in Article 1 and the amount paid up in the past:

2. Non-euro area NCBs shall pay the amounts specified in paragraph 1 to the ECB by means of a separate transfer via the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) on 29 December 2010.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 31 December 2010
on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Eesti Pank to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions
(ECB/2010/34)
(2011/23/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), and in particular Articles 30.1, 30.3, 48.1 and 48.2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2010/416/EU of 13 July 2010 in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty on the adoption by Estonia of the euro on 1 January 2011 (1), Estonia fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro and the derogation granted to it pursuant to Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (2) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2011. |
(2) |
Article 48.1 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the national central bank (NCB) of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must pay up its subscribed share of the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) to the same extent as the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. The weighting of Eesti Pank in the ECB’s capital key is 0,1790 %, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision ECB/2008/23 of 12 December 2008 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (3). Eesti Pank has already paid up part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2010/28 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (4). |
(3) |
Pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2010/26 of 13 December 2010 on the increase of the European Central Bank’s capital (5) the ECB’s capital has been increased by EUR 5 000 000 000 from EUR 5 760 652 402,58 to EUR 10 760 652 402,58 with effect from 29 December 2010. Pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2010/27 of 13 December 2010 on the paying-up of the increase of the European Central Bank’s capital by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (6) the increased capital must be paid up in three equal annual instalments. |
(4) |
Accordingly, Eesti Pank should pay up the remaining parts of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, which correspond to EUR 18 539 259,01 as follows: on 3 January 2011 an amount of EUR 9 589 259,01 which results from multiplying the ECB’s subscribed capital on 28 December 2010 (EUR 5 760 652 402,58) by the capital key weighting of Eesti Pank (0,1790 %), minus the part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital that has already been paid up in accordance with Decision ECB/2010/27 and a further amount of EUR 8 950 000,00 which results from multiplying the amount of the increase of the ECB’s subscribed capital (EUR 5 000 000 000) by the capital key weighting of Eesti Pank. Eesti Pank should pay the latter amount in three equal instalments. The first instalment is to be paid up together with the amount of EUR 9 589 259,01 and the other two instalments of EUR 2 983 333,33 each two business days before the last TARGET2 operating day of 2011 and 2012. |
(5) |
Article 48.1, in conjunction with Article 30.1, of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must also transfer foreign reserve assets to the ECB. Pursuant to Article 48.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, the sum to be transferred is determined by multiplying the euro value at current exchange rates of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, by the ratio between the number of shares subscribed by the NCB concerned and the number of shares already paid up by the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. When determining the ‘foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1’, due account should be taken of previous capital key adjustments (7) pursuant to Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB and the ECB capital key expansions pursuant to Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB (8). As a result, pursuant to Decision ECB/2008/27 of 12 December 2008 laying down the measures necessary for the contribution to the European Central Bank’s accumulated equity value and for adjusting the national central banks’ claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets (9), the euro equivalent of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB pursuant to Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB is EUR 145 853 596,60. |
(6) |
The foreign reserve assets to be transferred by Eesti Pank should be in or be denominated in Japanese yen and gold. |
(7) |
Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the ECB must credit each NCB of a Member State whose currency is the euro with a claim equivalent to the foreign reserve assets that it has transferred to the ECB. The provisions regarding the denomination and remuneration of the claims that have already been credited to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (10) should also apply to the denomination and remuneration of the claims of Eesti Pank. |
(8) |
Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must contribute to the ECB’s reserves, to those provisions equivalent to reserves, and to the amount still to be appropriated to the reserves and provisions corresponding to the balance of the profit and loss account as at 31 December of the year prior to abrogation of the derogation. The amount of this contribution is determined in accordance with Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB. |
(9) |
By analogy with Article 3.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank (11), the Governor of Eesti Pank has had the opportunity to make observations on this Decision before its adoption, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
of 11 January 2011
on the certification of defence undertakings under Article 9 of Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council simplifying terms and conditions of transfers of defence-related products within the Community
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/24/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 292 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 9 of Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 simplifying terms and conditions of transfers of defence-related products within the Community (1) lays down the criteria for the certification by Member States of defence undertakings established on their territory as recipients of defence-related products transferred under general transfer licences. |
(2) |
The certification of undertakings is a key element of the simplified licensing system introduced by Directive 2009/43/EC. |
(3) |
Different interpretations of the certification criteria by Members States could hamper the implementation of Directive 2009/43/EC and the achievement of its simplification objective. |
(4) |
A convergent interpretation and application of the certification criteria by Member States are important to the mutual recognition of certificates referred to in article 9(6) of Directive 2009/43/EC and to a wide use of general licenses. |
(5) |
Representatives of Member States in the Committee established by Article 14 of Directive 2009/43/EC have suggested that convergent interpretation and application of the certification criteria could be achieved by the adoption of a Commission recommendation. |
(6) |
Representatives of Member States in the Committee established by Article 14 of Directive 2009/43/EC therefore established a working group to prepare guidelines on the certification of defence undertakings under Article 9 of Directive 2009/43/EC. |
(7) |
The guidelines set out in this Recommendation are based on the best practices of certain Member States, which have proven to be efficient and practicable, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
1. THE CERTIFICATION CRITERIA
1.1. Assessment of criteria set out in points (a) and (b) of Article 9(2)
Only recipient undertakings which actually manufacture defence-related products or partly completed defence-related products covered by Directive 2009/43/EC, consisting of components and/or systems and sub-systems purchased from third parties, with a view to being placed on the market under his own name or trademark should be eligible for certification.
Certified recipient undertakings should use the defence-related products received under the general transfer licences referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of Directive 2009/43/EC for their own production (which includes incorporation of components into other products, or as spares or replacement parts) and should not retransfer or export them as such, (except for the purposes of maintenance or repair) where the prior authorisation of an originating Member State is required.
Competent authorities should be able, where appropriate and before issuing a certificate, to require a statement from recipient undertaking whereby they commit themselves to the following:
(a) |
to use the defence-related products, received under the general licences referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of Directive 2009/43/EC, for their own production; |
(b) |
to refrain from retransferring or exporting the relevant products as such, except for the purposes of maintenance or repair. |
1.2. Supplies to recipient undertakings purchasing for the exclusive use by the armed forces of a Member State under general transfer licences referred to in Article 5(2)(a) of Directive 2009/43/EC
Recipient undertakings qualifying as contracting authorities within the meaning of Article 1(9) of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), purchasing for the exclusive use by the armed forces of a Member State, should be entitled to receive defence-related products under the general licences referred to in Article 5(2)(a) of Directive 2009/43/EC without being certified.
1.3. Assessment of criteria set out in points (c) and (f) of Article 9(2)
The senior executive referred to in Article 9(2)(c) of Directive 2009/43/EC should be personally responsible for the internal compliance programme or transfer and export management system implemented in the undertaking and the staff in charge of export and transfer control. That senior executive should be a member of the managerial body of the undertaking.
Where the certificate is requested for one or several production units, the description of the chain of responsibility within the recipient undertaking required under Article 9(2)(f) of Directive 2009/43/EC should clearly establish the control of the senior executive over the staff of those units in charge of export and transfer control.
Questions and guidelines on the description of internal compliance programmes and for subsequent assessment are set out in Annex I. Member States may add further questions. Where Member States add any further questions, they should be directly relevant to the certification assessment process.
1.4. Organisational Structure to be certified and assessment of criteria set out in points (d) and (e) of Article 9(2)
How certification is approached will depend on a recipient undertaking’s organisational structure and how it delegates responsibility for transfer and export controls. The undertaking could be certified as a whole or by business unit. Undertakings with production units and associated activities at several addresses, that have been delegated the responsibility for transfer and export controls, should specify which of those units are to be covered by the certificate.
2. THE CERTIFICATION
2.1. A standard certificate template
The use of a standard certificate template set out in Annex II is recommended.
The certificate should be drafted in one of the official languages of the Member State issuing the certificate and preferably in one of the official languages of another Member State, as indicated by the certified recipient undertaking. The date of entry into force of the certificate should be marked on the certificate.
For the purposes of Article 9(4)(a), the certificate should require the certified recipient undertaking to notify the competent authority of all factors and events arising after the certificate is granted which may influence validity or content of the certificate. The certified recipient undertaking should notify in particular the following:
(a) |
any major change in its industrial activity in defence-related products; |
(b) |
any change in the address where records concerning received defence-related products are accessible to the competent authority. |
For the purposes of point (a), the relevance of the change justifying notification should, where appropriate, be assessed in the light of the information already provided for the registration as a defence undertaking or for the granting of any defence activity licence or manufacturing licence.
2.2. Exchange of information on recipient undertakings seeking certification
For the purposes of Article 12 of the Directive 2009/43/EC, national competent authorities are encouraged to exchange all relevant information regarding the issuance of certificates. If for the assessment of a recipient undertaking in view of issuing a certificate it is necessary to collect information from other competent authorities, the issuing national competent authority should liaise with the other relevant national competent authorities before issuing the certificate.
3. MONITORING OF COMPLIANCE
3.1. Powers of competent authorities to carry out compliance visits
For the purpose of visits to verify compliance with the conditions attached to the certificate and with the criteria set out in Article 9(2), inspectors assigned by the competent authority should be at least empowered:
(a) |
to enter relevant premises; |
(b) |
to examine and take copies of the records, data, rules of procedure and any other material relevant to products exported, transferred or received under a transfer licence from another Member State. |
Such inspections should be carried out in compliance with the legislation of the Member State in which they are to be undertaken.
3.2. Cases justifying a re-assessment
A re-assessment of compliance with the conditions attached to the certificate and with the criteria set out in Article 9(2) should be carried out by the competent authority in the following cases:
(a) |
major changes to the certified recipient undertaking, including changes to the internal organisation of the undertaking or to its activities; |
(b) |
indication that the relevant conditions and criteria are no longer met by the certified recipient undertaking; |
(c) |
where the certified recipient undertaking has been prescribed to take corrective action; |
(d) |
where suspension of the certificate is to be lifted. |
3.3. Closer monitoring of newly certified recipient undertakings
The competent authority should pay particular attention to the monitoring of newly certified recipient undertakings. The competent authority should carry out a compliance monitoring preferably during the first year after the first time a certificate is issued.
4. CORRECTIVE MEASURES, SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATES
4.1. Decisions to prescribe corrective action
Where a certified recipient undertaking no longer complies with one or more of the criteria set out in Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/43/EC or with the conditions attached to the certificate and where the competent authority deems the non-compliance to be of minor importance, the competent authority should, within a time period not exceeding 1 month from the date the competent authority first became aware of the non-compliance, take a decision requiring the recipient undertaking to take corrective action.
That decision should immediately be notified in writing by the competent authority to the certified recipient undertaking. Such decision should require the certified recipient undertaking to carry out the prescribed corrective action within a time period set out in the written notification.
On expiry of that time period, the competent authority should verify that the corrective action has been implemented. The verification could include a site visit, a meeting with the senior executive referred to in Article 9(2)(c) of Directive 2009/43/EC or a senior officer nominated by that senior executive, and/or the assessment of written documentation supplied by that senior executive.
Within a time period not exceeding 3 months after completion of the verification, the certified recipient undertaking should be notified in writing of the assessment by the competent authority of the appropriateness of the corrective action undertaken.
4.2. Suspension and revocation of certificates
The competent authority should suspend or revoke the certificate in any of the following cases:
(a) |
the certified recipient undertaking concerned has failed to take the corrective action within the time period set out in the written notification from the competent authority requiring the certified recipient undertaking to take corrective action; |
(b) |
the certified recipient undertaking no longer complies with one or more of the criteria set out in Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/43/EC or with the conditions attached to the certificate and the competent authority deems the non-compliance to be of serious importance. |
The decision suspending or revoking the certificate should immediately be notified in writing by the competent authority to the certified recipient undertaking and to the Commission.
The competent authority should maintain the suspension until the certified recipient undertaking can demonstrate compliance with the criteria set out in Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/43/EC and with the conditions attached to the certificate. The competent authority should, at the time of written notification of the suspension of the certificate or in subsequent written correspondence, impose a time limit within which such compliance should be demonstrated by the certified recipient undertaking.
4.3. Lifting suspension of the certificate
Following expiry of the time limit imposed in the decision on suspension, the competent authority should verify whether the certified recipient undertaking is in compliance with the criteria set out in Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/43/EC and with the conditions attached to the certificate.
The verification could include a site visit, a meeting with the senior executive referred to in Article 9(2)(c) of Directive 2009/43/EC or a senior officer nominated by that senior executive, and/or the assessment of written documentation supplied by that senior executive.
Within a time period not exceeding 1 month after completion of the verification, a new decision from the competent authority should be notified in writing to the certified recipient undertaking stating any of the following:
(a) |
that the suspension of certificate is lifted and the date on which it takes effect; |
(b) |
the suspension is maintained until a certain date, following which another verification will be carried out; |
(c) |
the certificate is revoked. |
5. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION RELATING TO CERTIFICATION
Where a certificate has been granted, suspended, revoked or suspension of a certificate has been lifted, the competent authority should immediately notify in writing the certified recipient undertaking and the Commission.

||||||||||||||
Is the non-compliance disclosed by internal audits systematically corrected? Is a trail of such actions kept? |
The undertaking should clearly record any suspected occurrence of non-compliance identified by the internal audit, the measures recommended to correct such an occurrence and an assessment of the effectiveness of those corrective measures on compliance. |
||||||||||||||
4. General awareness-raising |
|||||||||||||||
|
How are the undertaking’s internal processes designed to raise general awareness and minimise risks related to export/transfer controls? |
Operating and organisational procedures should be set down in writing and provide instructions and guidelines on the following:
|
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
4.1.1. Operating and organisational procedures: pre-licensing phase (1) |
|||||||||||||||
|
How does the undertaking take into account embargoes? |
In cases where a shipment is planned to be sent to an embargoed destination, rules should be in place to verify the relevant embargo regulations. Such verification should at least encompass:
|
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
How does the undertaking take into account sanctions lists? |
The names and identities of the legal and natural persons to be supplied should be checked against the relevant sanctions lists. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
When searching for an identity on the sanctions list, what level (or percentage) of certainty that a match has been found is required to consider it a match (‘hit’)? What procedures are followed when a match for a name has been found? |
Procedural instructions should have been set down in writing which detail how likely matches and ‘hits’ are to be addressed (for example, when a match has been found, it must be reported to the competent authority). |
||||||||||||||
|
Questions on internal processes ensuring that a listed product is not exported or transferred without a license: |
|
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
The classification of products should be recorded in an electronic data processing system (only if in existence already). Changes in the control lists should be immediately reported in the system. |
||||||||||||||
|
The export/transfer control staff should be responsible for recording and classifying products, if necessary, in consultation with technical experts. |
||||||||||||||
|
The export/transfer control staff should be responsible for verifying the reliability of the recipients, with special attention given to the end-use and risk of diversion. If export/transfer control staff are informed that the recipient has breached export/transfer control regulations, they should inform the competent authority. A verification of the recipient’s good faith is especially important in cases where the customer is new or where the customer’s identity is unclear or when there are doubts about the declared end-use (e.g.: order in unusual quantities, special and unusual transit routes requested by the recipient …). |
||||||||||||||
|
How does the undertaking ensure compliance with intangible transfer of technology (ITT) requirements (e.g., e-mail and access to the intranet from abroad)? |
The undertaking should have issued clear and written instructions in relation to ITT over e-mail, fax, intranet or Internet. The provision or transfer of technology should not occur until, an assessment has been made of its licensability, and if licensable, a licence is in place to permit the transfer. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
How does the undertaking ensure compliance with technical assistance requirements? |
A compliance procedure regarding technical assistance should be in place:
|
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
How does the undertaking ensure that it makes full and complete licence applications? |
The undertaking should be equipped to fully comply with the licence application process and procedures in force in the Member State where it is established. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
What internal procedures ensure compliance with the conditions of the license? |
A final verification of the export/transfer control requirements should take place before final shipment to ensure that the terms and conditions of the licence have been complied with. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
|
What information is available to all employees concerned by export/transfer controls and to export control/transfer staff? |
All should have access to the above-mentioned organisational and operating procedures relating to export/transfer controls. Those operating and organisational procedures should be recorded and updated in compliance manuals available to export/transfer control staff. The operating and organisational procedures should include a clear description of the export/transfer compliance process, from the reception of an order, the verification of compliance with relevant export/transfer regulations to the final shipment or transmission. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
How often is the export control staff’s knowledge updated? |
This should occur when changes are made to national and Union export control legislation and procedures but at a minimum at least once every year. In addition to annual general training updates, it is recommended that commentaries on export/transfer control legislation as well professional journals and magazines, where they exist should also be made available. |
||||||||||||||
How is the export/transfer control staff’s knowledge updated? |
Training through various tools including:
|
||||||||||||||
|
Is your company security accredited by an appropriate Government body? Please give details. |
Each national Ministry of Defence or similar organisation is likely to require some measure of security where the undertaking is working on their behalf. The mere fact that the undertaking is security accredited in some way may be enough. |
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
If there is no such official security accreditation, which security measures are in place to secure export/transfer records and procedures? |
The premises should be entirely enclosed by fencing. The entrance should be secured and controlled. The premises should be under constant surveillance, even during non-working hours. There could be a separate entrance for deliveries and collections, away from the main production area. |
9(2)(f) |
|||||||||||||
What are the security measures regarding software and technology? |
The system should be password protected and secured by a firewall. The undertaking’s network is secured against unauthorised access. There should be a control on electronic devices (laptops, personal digital assistants, etc.) being taken offsite or overseas and over e-mails sent as part of a project and in other circumstances. |
9(2)(f) |
|||||||||||||
|
How do you maintain records of the exportation limitations passed to you from the supplier of the products? |
Undertakings should include one or more of the following:
|
9(2)(f) |
||||||||||||
How do you relate export limitations to subsequent transfers or exports? |
Possible answers should include one or more of the following:
|
9(2)(f) |
|||||||||||||
How are these records made available to the competent authorities? |
|
9(2)(f) |
(1) The purpose of the pre-licensing phase is to determine whether the undertaking is impacted by export/transfer controls, that is, whether export/transfer control regulations are relevant in respect to the activities and transactions of the undertaking and accordingly whether there is a licensing requirement for those transactions. The goal is to identify and analyse as early as possible any export/transfer control risks, and to implement any necessary relevant measure, for example, to apply for a license or to appropriately use a general licence.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
of 14 January 2011
establishing guidelines for the distinction between feed materials, feed additives, biocidal products and veterinary medicinal products
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/25/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The distinction between feed materials, feed additives and other products such as veterinary drugs has implications for the conditions for their placing on the market, depending on the relevant applicable legislation, |
(2) |
Feed business operators and national competent control authorities are frequently confronted with questions regarding the classification of products, which might jeopardise the marketing of feed throughout the European Union. |
(3) |
In order to avoid inconsistencies in the treatment of such products, to facilitate the work of the national competent authorities and to help the interested economic operators to act in a framework providing an appropriate level of legal certainty, non-binding guidelines for the distinction between feed materials, feed additives and other kinds of products should be established. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Recommendation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:
For the distinction between feed materials, feed additives and other kinds of products the guidelines provided in the Annex to this Recommendation should be taken into account.
Done at Brussels, 14 January 2011.

ANNEX
GUIDELINES FOR THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FEED MATERIALS, FEED ADDITIVES AND OTHER PRODUCTS
These guidelines are intended to assist the national competent authorities and the feed business operators to enforce and to apply the relevant legislation.
They are based on the provisions laid down in the legislative framework governing the different kinds of products concerned, with a particular view to the definitions of these products provided therein, in order to identify indications for a distinction between the product types.
For any product, the criteria proposed for the distinction between the different kinds of products should not be applied subsequently but simultaneously in order to create a profile of each specific product, taking into account all its characteristics. None of the criteria can be used exclusively or takes precedence over another.
Analogy with other products cannot be used as a discriminatory criterion but may be helpful to review a decision already made based on the application of the established criteria. However, it can also be used to check for consistency.

Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 (1): ‘feed’: any substance or product, including additives, whether processed, partially processed or unprocessed, intended to be used for oral feeding to animals. Following on from this broad definition of feed, recital 3 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 states that ‘feed may take the form of feed materials, compound feed, feed additives, premixtures or medicated feedingstuffs.’ |
|
Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009: ‘feed materials’: products of vegetable or animal origin, whose principal purpose is to meet animals’ nutritional needs, in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the industrial processing thereof, and organic or inorganic substances, whether or not containing feed additives, which are intended for use in oral animal-feeding either directly as such, or after processing, or in the preparation of compound feed, or as carrier of premixtures; ‘carrier’: a substance used to dissolve, dilute, disperse or otherwise physically modify a feed additive in order to facilitate its handling, application or use without altering its technological function and without exerting any technological effect itself; ‘feed intended for particular nutritional purposes’: feed which can satisfy a particular nutritional purpose by virtue of its particular composition or method of manufacture, which clearly distinguishes it from ordinary feed. Feed intended for particular nutritional purposes does not include medicated feedingstuffs within the meaning of Directive 90/167/EEC; ‘oral feeding of animals’: the introduction of feed into an animal’s gastrointestinal tract through the mouth with the aim of meeting the animal’s nutritional needs and/or maintaining the productivity of normally healthy animals. |
|
Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 (2): ‘feed additives’: substances, micro-organisms or preparations, other than feed material and premixtures, which are intentionally added to feed or water in order to perform, in particular, one or more specific functions that are enumerated in Article 5(3) of the Regulation: (a)favourably affect the characteristics of feed;(b)favourably affect the characteristics of animal products;(c)favourably affect the colour of ornamental fish and birds;(d)satisfy the nutritional needs of animals;(e)favourably affect the environmental consequences of animal production;(f)favourably affect animal production, performance or welfare, particularly by affecting the gastro-intestinal flora or digestibility of feedingstuffs; or(g)have a coccidiostatic or histomonostatic effect. |
|
Article 2(2)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003: ‘processing aids’: any substance not consumed as a feedingstuff by itself, intentionally used in the processing of feedingstuffs or feed materials to fulfil a technological purpose during treatment or processing which may result in the unintentional but technologically unavoidable presence of residues of the substance or its derivatives in the final product, provided that these residues do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and do not have any technological effects on the finished feed. Moreover, recital 11 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 reads as follows: ‘(…). Feed materials are primarily used to meet animals’ needs, for example for energy, nutrients, minerals or dietary fibres. They are usually not chemically well-defined except for basic nutritional constituents. Effects which can be justified by scientific assessment and which are exclusive to feed additives or veterinary drugs should be excluded from the objective uses of feed materials. (…)’ |
1.2. Consequences for the distinction between feed materials and feed additives
1.2.1.
— ‘Feed additives are substances (…) other than feed material’: A product cannot be a feed material and a feed additive at the same time,
— ‘Animals’ nutritional needs’: It is not possible to indicate an exhaustive list of relevant elements but the following characteristics of feed materials can be considered to be the most important:
— ‘Principal purpose is to meet animals’ nutritional needs’ and ‘primarily used to meet animals’ needs’: Apart from the usual primary function of delivering nutrients to the animal, feed materials can have other purposes, for example if they are used as carriers or if they are not digestible in the animals' intestinal tract. This is in line with the aims of ‘oral feeding’ (‘meeting the animal’s nutritional needs and/or maintaining the productivity of normally healthy animals’) which corresponds to the primary intended use according to the ‘feed’ definition.
1.2.2.
— Production and processing method — chemical definition and level of standardisation or purification: Products of vegetable or animal origin in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the simple processing thereof, as well as organic or inorganic substances can be considered feed materials (e.g. fatty acids or calcium carbonate). Chemically well-defined substances that are purified and give a certain level of standardisation guaranteed by the manufacturer might qualify as feed additives (e.g. aromatic oil specifically extracted from plant material). Nonetheless, certain feed materials are chemically well-defined substances and standardised (e.g. sucrose). On the other hand, natural products of whole plants and parts of these or products thereof resulting from a limited physical processing such as crushing, grinding or drying would be feed materials.
— Safety and mode of use: If for reasons of animal or human health it is necessary to set a maximum content of the product in the daily ration the products qualify for classification as additive. However, also for certain feed materials maximum inclusion rates apply. Feed additive status might offer improved scope for effective management of the product in terms of stability, homogeneity and with respect to over-dosage. Feed additives are usually used at low incorporation rates. However, many feed materials, such as mineral salts, are also used at low incorporation rates in the feed ration.
— Functionality: Feed additives are defined by their functions as laid down in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. However, these functions are not exclusive to feed additives. Thus, a feed material can also exert an additive function (e.g. as a thickener) but this should not be the only intended use.
2. Biocidal products
2.1. Legal texts
The following definitions can be found in the relevant legislation:
|
Article 2(1) of Directive 98/8/EC (3): ‘biocidal products’: active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances, put up in the form in which they are supplied to the user, intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, prevent the action of, or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means; ‘active substance’: a substance or micro-organism including a virus or a fungus having general or specific action on or against harmful organisms; ‘harmful organism’: any organism which has an unwanted presence or a detrimental effect for humans, their activities or the products they use or produce, or for animals or for the environment. |
|
Point 1(a) of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003: ‘preservatives’: substances or, when applicable, micro-organisms which protect feed against deterioration caused by micro-organisms or their metabolites. |
|
Article 1(2) of Directive 98/8/EC provides for the following: ‘This Directive shall apply to biocidal products as defined in Article 2(1)(a) but shall exclude products that are defined or within the scope of the following instruments for the purposes of these Directives: (…)
(…)’. |
|
Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC contains an exhaustive list of 23 product types with an indicative set of descriptions within each type, including the following feed related product types: Product-type 3: Veterinary hygiene biocidal products: Products in this group are biocidal products used for veterinary hygiene purposes including products used in areas in which animals are housed, kept or transported. Product-type 4: Food and feed area disinfectants: Products used for the disinfection of equipment, containers, consumption utensils, surfaces or pipework associated with the production, transport, storage or consumption of food, feed or drink (including drinking water) for humans and animals. Product-type 5: Drinking water disinfectants: Products used for the disinfection of drinking water (for both humans and animals). Product-type 20: Preservatives for food or feedstocks: Products used for the preservation of food or feedstocks by the control of harmful organisms. |
2.2. Consequences for the distinction between feed and biocidal products
By virtue of Article 1(2) of Directive 98/8/EC, products that are defined or that fall under the scope of the feed legislation, including processing aids, are no biocidal products but are to be considered as feed (Precedence of the feed legislation over the legislation on biocidal products).
Products in products types 3 and 4, as set out in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC, are not considered to be feed.
However, certain products could qualify for product types 5 or 20 and also be considered as feed, usually feed additives. Due to the above mentioned precedence of feed legislation over biocidal product legislation, such products are to be considered feed. Products to preserve feed or water for animals are not biocidal products. If such products are listed in product type 5 or 20, they are not intended to be administered to animals.
3. Veterinary medicinal products (VMPs)
3.1. Legal texts
The following definitions can be found in the relevant legislation:
|
Article 1 of Directive 2001/82/EC (4): ‘veterinary medicinal product’:
‘medicated feedingstuffs’: any mixture of a veterinary medicinal product or products and feed or feeds which is ready prepared for marketing and intended to be fed to animals without further processing, because of its curative or preventive properties or other properties as a medicinal product covered by the definition ‘veterinary medicinal product’. |
|
Article 2(2) of Directive 2001/82/EC provides for the following: ‘In cases of doubt, where, taking into account all its characteristics, a product may fall within the definition of a ‘veterinary medicinal product’ and within the definition of a product covered by other Community legislation, the provisions of this Directive shall apply.’ |
|
Article 3(1) of the same Directive provides for the following: ‘This Directive shall not apply to:
|
|
Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 reads as follows: ‘The labelling or the presentation of feed materials and compound feed shall not claim that:
|
3.2. Consequences for the distinction between feed and VMPs
— |
If, after consideration of all the characteristics of an unclassified product, the conclusion is that it might be a VMP, it should be considered a VMP (precedence of the VMPs legislation over feed legislation, except for authorised feed additives). |
— |
Medicated feedingstuffs are not VMPs but, according to recital 3 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009, a form of feed containing medicated pre-mixes and being subject to a prescription by a veterinarian. |
— |
Based on the definition of ‘particular nutritional purpose’ (see under point 1.1 above), the borderline between feed and veterinary medicinal products is set. The particular nutritional purposes such as ‘support of liver function in the case of chronic liver insufficiency’, ‘reduction of urate stones formation’ or ‘reduction of the risk of milk fever’ can be achieved by feed. |
