COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 756/2012

of 20 August 2012

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 430/2010 of 20 May 2010 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) removed the obligation to provide an exit summary declaration for goods which are supplied for incorporation as parts of or accessories in vessels and aircraft, motor fuels, lubricants and gas necessary for the operation of vessels or aircraft, foodstuffs, and other items to be consumed or sold on board. Annex 30a to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be adapted accordingly.

(2)

Pursuant to Annex 30a to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, information about the consignee is mandatory in an exit summary declaration. However, where the goods are carried under a negotiable bill of lading that is ‘to order blank endorsed’, the consignee is unknown. In that case a specific code should be used to show that the consignee particulars are unknown.

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade (4) has been replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 113/2010 of 9 February 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries, as regards trade coverage, definition of the data, compilation of statistics on trade by business characteristics and by invoicing currency, and specific goods or movements (5). It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

(4)

Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (6) lays down conditions for exemption from payment of the VAT due upon importation. One of the conditions is that at the time of importation, the importer must have provided to the competent authorities of the Member State of importation certain information. It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to provide a harmonised solution for indicating that information in the customs declaration. The obligation to provide the information required by Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC should be stated in the description of Box 44 in Annex 37.

(5)

Since a Community transit operation may take place in Andorra and San Marino, a reference to those countries should be added to the reference to the EFTA countries in Annex 37 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, in order to reflect the fact that the guarantee or guarantee waiver may be not valid in one or more EFTA countries, nor in Andorra or in San Marino.

(6)

Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries (7) has been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 (8). The reference to Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be updated.

(7)	In 2010 the eighth version of the Incoterms rules (‘Incoterms 2010’) has been established. The Incoterms codes as amended by the Incoterms 2010 should therefore be set out in Annex 38 in order to update the delivery terms.

(8)

Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 contains a list of packaging codes based upon the list of Coded representations of packaging type names used in international trade set out in Annexes V and VI to Recommendation No 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Due to the revision of the code list following a technological development, it is appropriate to replace the list in Annex 38 by the latest version resulting from Revision 8.1 of Recommendation No 21.

(9)

Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC (9) provides that excise goods may be moved under a duty suspension arrangement within the customs territory of the Community, including where the goods are moved via a third country or a third territory from the place of importation to any of the destinations referred to in Article 17(1)(a) of that Directive. The respective codes in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be adapted to reflect the cases where no excise duties are paid upon importation.

(10)

Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (10) has been replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 of 16 November 2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (11). Some references and descriptions of codes in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be adapted.

(11)

Since Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down implementing rules of Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit and vegetable sector (12) has been replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (13), it is necessary to update the reference to Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

(12)

It is necessary to adapt the list of goods involving a higher risk of fraud set out in Annex 44c to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to the Combined Nomenclature 2012 laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (14).

(13)	Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(14)	Since Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 applies from 1 January 2012, the amendments to Annex 44c to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should apply from the same date.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:

Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State and, when applicable, an excise duty suspension.

Explanation:

Exemption from payment of VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty suspension, is granted because the import is followed by an intra-Community supply or transfer of the goods to another Member State. In that case, the VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty will be due in the Member State of final destination. In order to use this procedure, the persons must meet the conditions listed in Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC and, where applicable, the conditions listed in Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.

Example 1	:	Import of goods with exemption from VAT through a tax representative.
Example 2	:	Excise goods imported from a third country, which are released for free circulation and are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State. The release for free circulation is immediately followed by a movement under excise duty suspension from the place of importation initiated by a registered consignor in accordance with Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.’

(ii)

Code 63 is replaced by the following:

‘63

Reimportation with simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State and, when applicable, an excise duty suspension.

Explanation:

Exemption from payment of VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty suspension, is granted because the reimportation is followed by an intra-Community supply or transfer of the goods to another Member State. In such a case, the VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty, will be due in the Member State of final destination. In order to use this procedure, the persons must meet the conditions listed in Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC and, where applicable, the conditions listed in Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.

Example 1	:	Reimportation after outward processing or temporary export, with any VAT debt being charged to a tax representative.
Example 2	:	Excise goods reimported after outward processing and released for free circulation, which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 757/2012

of 20 August 2012

suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Review Group,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2).

(2)	A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 of 17 August 2011 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3).

(3)

On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not suspended. The introduction of the following species should therefore be suspended:

Canis lupus (hunting trophies) from Mongolia and Tajikistan;

Ursus arctos (hunting trophies) from Kazakhstan;

Profelis aurata, Polemaetus bellicosus, Terathopius ecaudatus and Varanus albigularis from Tanzania;

Callosciurus erythraeus, Sciurus carolinensis and Sciurus niger (live specimens) from all States;

Chamaeleo gracilis (wild specimens) from Ghana and Togo;

Chamaeleo senegalensis (wild specimens) from Benin, Ghana and Togo;

Chamaeleo senegalensis (ranched specimens with snout to vent length greater than 6 cm) from Benin;

Varanus spinulosus from Solomon Islands;

Kinixys belliana (wild specimens) from Benin and Ghana;

Kinixys erosa (wild specimens) from Togo;

Kinixys homeana (wild specimens), Pandinus imperator and Scleractinia spp. from Ghana;

Kinixys homeana (ranched specimens greater than 8 cm straight carapace length) from Togo;

Mantella cowani from Madagascar;

Hippocampus erectus from Brazil;

Hippocampus kuda from China;

Tridacna crocea, Tridacna derasa, Tridacna maxima and Tridacna squamosa from Solomon Islands;

Euphyllia paraancora, Euphyllia paradivisa, Euphyllia picteti, Euphyllia yaeyamaensis, Eguchipsammia fistula and Heliofungia actiniformis from Indonesia;

Rauvolfia serpentina from Myanmar;

Pterocarpus santalinus from India;

Christensonia vietnamica from Vietnam;

Myrmecophila tibicinis from Belize.

(4)

The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the suspension of the introduction into the Union of the following species should no longer be required:

Falco cherrug from Armenia, Iraq, Mauretania and Tajikistan;

Saiga tatarica from Kazakhstan and Russia;

Callithrix geoffroyi from Brazil;

Amazona autumnalis from Ecuador;

Ara chloropterus from Argentina and Panama;

Ara severus from Guyana;

Aratinga acuticaudata from Uruguay;

Cyanoliseus patagonus from Chile and Uruguay;

Deroptyus accipitrinus from Peru;

Triclaria malachitacea from Argentina and Brazil;

Caiman crocodilus from El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico;

Calumma andringitraense, Calumma boettgeri, Calumma fallax, Calumma gallus, Calumma glawi, Calumma globifer, Calumma guillaumeti, Calumma malthe, Calumma marojezense, Calumma oshaughnessyi, Calumma vencesi, Furcifer bifidus, Furcifer petteri, Furcifer rhinoceratus, Furcifer willsii, Cycadaceae spp., Stangeriaceae spp. and Zamiaceae spp. from Madagascar;

Heloderma suspectum from Mexico and the United States;

Iguana iguana and Boa constrictor from El Salvador;

Eunectes murinus from Paraguay;

Chelonoidis denticulata from Bolivia and Ecuador;

Tridacna gigas from Fiji, Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu;

Anacamptis pyramidalis, Himantoglossum hircinum, Ophrys sphegodes, Orchis coriophora, Orchis laxiflora, Orchis provincialis, Orchis purpurea, Orchis simia, Serapias vomeracea and Spiranthes spiralis from Switzerland;

Cephalanthera rubra, Dactylorhiza latifolia, Dactylorhiza russowii, Nigritella nigra and Ophrys insectifera from Norway;

Dactylorhiza traunsteineri, Ophrys insectifera and Spiranthes spiralis from Liechtenstein.

(5)	The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to introduction into the Union pursuant to this Regulation have all been consulted.

(6)	The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended should therefore be amended and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject to the provisions of Article 71 of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006, the introduction into the Union of specimens of the species of wild fauna and flora listed in the Annex to this Regulation is suspended.

Article 2

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 is repealed.

References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation.

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.

Done at Brussels, 20 August 2012.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 16 August 2012

establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for printed paper

(notified under document C(2012) 5364)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2012/481/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,

After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board,

Whereas:

(1)	Under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, the EU Ecolabel may be awarded to those products with a reduced environmental impact during their entire life cycle.

(2)	Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 provides that specific EU Ecolabel criteria are to be established according to product groups.

(3)	Since the chemicals used in the printed paper products may hinder recyclability of printed paper products, and may be hazardous for the environment and for human health, it is appropriate to establish EU Ecolabel criteria for the product group ‘printed paper’.

(4)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The product group ‘printed paper’ shall comprise any printed paper product that consist of at least 90 % by weight of paper, paperboard or paper-based substrates, except for books, catalogues, pads, booklets or forms that shall consist of at least 80 % by weight of paper or paperboard or paper-based substrates. Inserts, covers and any printed paper part of the final printed paper shall be considered to form part of the printed paper product.

2. Fixed inserts to the printed paper product (not intended to be removed) shall fulfil the requirements of the Annex to this Decision. Inserts that are not fixed to the printed paper (such as flyers, removable stickers) but sold or provided with it, shall fulfil the requirements of the Annex to this Decision only if the EU Ecolabel is intended to be placed on them.

3. The product group ‘printed paper’ shall not include the following:

(a)	printed tissue papers;

(b)	printed paper products used for packaging and wrapping;

(c)	folders, envelopes, ring binders.

Article 2

For the purpose of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:

(1)

‘Books’ means yarn-bound and/or glue-bound printed paper products with hard or soft covers, such as school books, fiction or non-fiction books, notebooks, exercise books, spiral-bound notebook, reports, calendars with covers, handbooks and paperbacks. ‘Books’ do not include journals, brochures, magazines, catalogues published on a regular basis and annual reports.

(2)

‘Consumables’ means chemical products used during the printing, coating and finishing processes and capable of being consumed, destroyed, dissipated, wasted, or spent. Consumables include products such as printing inks and dyes, toners, overprinting varnishes, varnishes, adhesives, washing agents and damping solutions.

(3)	‘Folder’ means a folding case or cover for loose papers. Folders include products such as indices dividers, document wallets, square cut folders, suspension files, cardboard boxes and 3-flap folders.

(4)	‘Halogenated organic solvent’ means an organic solvent which contains at least one atom of bromine, chlorine, fluorine or iodine per molecule.

(5)

An ‘insert’ means an extra leaf or section, printed independently from the printed paper product which is either placed within the pages of a printed paper product and may be removed (loose insert) or bound into the pages of the printed paper product and thus form an integral part thereof (fixed insert). Inserts include multipage advertisements, booklets, brochures, reply cards, or other promotional materials.

(6)	‘Newspapers’ means a publication issued daily or weekly containing news and printed on newsprint paper grade that is made from pulp and/or recovered paper, the weight of which ranges between 40 and 65 g/m2.

(7)	‘Non-paper components’ means all the parts of a printed paper product that do not consist of paper, paperboard or paper based substrates.

(8)	‘Packaging’ means all products made of any materials of any nature to be used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or the consumer.

(9)

A ‘printed paper product’ means the product resulting from the processing of a printing material. The processing consists of printing onto paper. In addition to printing, the processing may include finishing, for example folding, stamping and cutting or assembling, using glue, binding, yarn-binding. Printed paper products include newspapers, advertising materials and newssheets, journals, catalogues, books, leaflets, brochures, pads, posters, loose-leafs, business cards, and labels.

(10)	‘Printing’ (or printing process) means a process whereby a printing material is processed into a printed paper product. Printing includes pre-press, press, and post-press operations.

(11)

‘Recycling’ means any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials or substances whether for the original purpose or other purposes. It includes the reprocessing of organic material but does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or for backfilling operations.

(12)	‘VOC’ (Volatile Organic Compounds) means any organic compound as well as the fraction of creosote, having at 293,15 K a vapour pressure of 0,01 kPa or more, or having a corresponding volatility under the particular conditions of use.

(13)

‘Washing agents’ (also sometimes known as cleaning agents or cleaners) means the following: (a) liquid chemicals used to wash printing forms, both separate (off-press) and integrated (in-press), and printing presses to remove printing inks, paper dust and similar products; (b) cleaners for finishing machines and printing machines, such as cleaners to remove adhesive and varnish residues; (c) printing inks removers used in washing off dried printing inks. Washing agents do not include cleaning agents for cleaning other parts of the printing machine or for cleaning other machines than printing machines and finishing machines.

(14)	‘Waste paper’ means paper generated during printing and finishing processes, or while shaving or cutting paper or during starting runs in the print workshop and the bindery, which does not form part of the finished printed paper product.

Article 3

In order to be awarded the EU Ecolabel under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, an item of printed paper shall fall within the product group ‘Printed paper’ as defined in Article 1 of this Decision and shall comply with the criteria as well as the related assessment and verification requirements set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 4

The criteria for the product group ‘Printed paper’, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements, shall be valid for three years from the date of adoption of this Decision.

Article 5

For administrative purposes the code number assigned to ‘printed paper’ shall be ‘028’.

Article 6

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

ANNEX

FRAMEWORK

The aims of the criteria

The criteria aim, in particular, at promoting the environmental efficiency of de-inkability and recyclability for printed paper products, the reduction of VOC emissions, the reduction or prevention of risks for the environment and for human health related to the use of hazardous substances. The criteria are set at levels that promote the labelling of printed paper products that have a low environmental impact.

CRITERIA

These criteria are set for each of the following aspects:

Substrate

2.	Excluded or limited substances and mixtures

3.	Recyclability

Emissions

Waste

Energy

Training

8.	Fitness for use

9.	Information on the product

10.	Information appearing on the EU Ecolabel

Criteria 1, 3, 8, 9 and 10 apply to the final printed paper product.

Criterion 2 applies both to the non-paper components of the printed paper product and to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components.

Criteria 4, 5, 6 and 7 apply to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components only.

These criteria apply to all such processes undertaken at the site or sites where the printed paper product is manufactured. If there are printing, coatings and finishing processes exclusively used for ecolabelled products, criteria 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall apply only to those processes.

The ecological criteria do not cover the transport of raw materials, consumables and final products.

Assessment and verification requirements

The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated within each criterion.

All printing on the printed paper product shall fulfil the criteria. Parts of the product that are printed by a sub-contractor shall therefore also fulfil the printing requirements. The application shall include a list of all the printing houses and subcontractors involved in the production of the printed paper, and their geographic locations.

The applicant shall provide a list of chemical products used in the printing house for the production of the printed paper products. This requirement applies to all consumables used during the printing, coating and finishing processes. The list provided by the applicant shall include the amount, function and supplier of any chemical product used, together with the Safety Data Sheet, designed in accordance with Commission Directive 2001/58/EC (1).

Where the applicant is required to provide declarations, documentation, analyses, test reports, or other evidence to show compliance with the criteria, it is understood that those may originate from the applicant and/or his supplier(s) and/or their supplier(s), as appropriate.

Where appropriate, test methods other than those indicated for each criterion may be used if their equivalence is accepted by the competent body assessing the application.

Where possible, the testing should be performed by laboratories that meet the general requirements of EN ISO 17025 or equivalent.

Where appropriate, competent bodies may require supporting documentation and may carry out independent verifications.

EU ECOLABEL CRITERIA

Criterion 1 — Substrate

(a)

The printed paper product shall be printed only on paper bearing the EU Ecolabel as established in Commission Decision 2011/333/EU (2).

(b)

Where newsprint paper is used, the printed paper product shall be printed only on paper bearing the EU Ecolabel as established in Commission Decision 2012/448/EU (3).

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide the specifications of the printed paper products concerned, including the trade names, amounts and weight/m2 of the paper used. The list shall also include the names of the suppliers of the papers used. The applicant shall provide a copy of a valid EU Ecolabel certificate for the paper used.

Criterion 2 — Excluded or limited substances and mixtures

(a) Hazardous substances and mixtures

Consumables that could end up in the final printed paper product, and that contain substances and/or mixtures meeting the criteria for classification with the hazard statements or risk phrases specified below in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) or Council Directive 67/548/EEC (5) or substances referred to in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) shall not be used for printing, coating, and finishing operations of the final printed paper product.

This requirement shall not apply to toluene for use in rotogravure printing processes where a closed or encapsulated installation or recovery system, or any equivalent system, is in place to control and monitor fugitive emissions and where the recovery efficiency is at least 92 %. UV varnishes and UV inks classified H412/R52-53 are also exempted from this requirement.

Substances or mixtures which change their properties upon processing (e.g. become no longer bioavailable, undergo chemical modification) so that the identified hazard no longer applies are exempted from the above requirement.

Concentration limits for substances and mixtures which may be, or have been, assigned the hazard statements or risk phrase listed above or which meet the criteria for classification in the hazard classes or categories, and concentration limits for substances meeting the criteria of Article 57(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, shall not exceed the generic or specific concentration limits determined in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Where specific concentration limits are determined they shall prevail over the generic ones.

Concentration limits for substances meeting criteria set out in Article 57(d), (e) or (f) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 shall not exceed 0,1 % weight by weight.

Assessment and verification: For substances not already classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the applicant shall prove compliance with these criteria by providing: (i) a declaration that the non-paper components that are part of the final product do not contain the substances referred to in these criteria in concentration above the authorised limits; (ii) a declaration that consumables that could end up in the final printed paper product and used for printing, coating, and finishing operations do not contain the substances referred to in these criteria in concentration above the authorised limits; (iii) a list of all consumables used for the printing, finishing and coating of the printed paper products. This list shall include the quantity, function and suppliers of all the consumables used in the production process.

The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with this criterion by providing a declaration on the non-classification of each substance into any of the hazard classes associated to the hazard statements referred to in the above list in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as far as this can be determined, as a minimum, from the information meeting the requirements listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. This declaration shall be supported by summarised information on the relevant characteristics associated to the hazard statements referred to in the above list, to the level of detail specified in Sections 10, 11 and 12 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Requirements for the Compilation of Safety Data Sheets).

Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, for instance through the use of alternative methods such as in vitro methods, by quantitative structure activity models or by the use of grouping or read-across in accordance with Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The sharing of relevant data is strongly encouraged.

The information provided shall relate to the forms or physical states of the substance or mixtures as used in the final product.

For substances listed in Annexes IV and V to REACH, exempted from registration obligations under Article 2(7)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH, a declaration to this effect will suffice to comply with the requirements set out above.

Testing must be performed on three types of paper: uncoated, coated and surface-sized paper. If a type of printing ink is only sold for one or two specific types of paper, it is sufficient to test the paper type(s) in question. The applicant shall provide a declaration that coated and laminated printed paper products are in compliance with point 3(b). Where a part of a printed paper product is easily removable (for instance a plastic cover or a reusable exercise book cover), the recyclability test may be made without this component. The easiness of removal of the non-paper components shall be proven via a declaration of the paper collecting company, the recycling company or an equivalent organisation. Test methods shown by a competent and independent third party as giving equivalent results may also be used.

Criterion 4 — Emissions

(a) Emissions to water

Rinsing water containing silver from film processing, as well as from plate production, and photo-chemicals shall not be discharged to a sewage treatment plant.

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide a declaration of compliance with this criterion, together with a description of the management of photo-chemicals and silver containing rinsing water on site. Where the film processing and/or the plate production are outsourced, the sub-contractor shall provide a declaration of compliance with this criterion, together with a description of the management of photo-chemicals and silver containing rinsing water at the subcontractors.

The amount of Cr and Cu discharged into a sewage treatment plant must not exceed, respectively, 45 mg per m2 and 400 mg per m2 of printing cylinder surface area used in the press.

Assessment and verification: discharges of Cr and Cu into the sewage shall be checked at rotogravure printing plants after treatment and before their release. A representative sample of Cr and Cu discharges shall be collected each month. At least one annual analytical test shall be carried out by an accredited laboratory to determine the content of Cr and Cu in a representative sub-sample of these samples. Compliance with this criterion shall be assessed by dividing the content of Cr and Cu, as determined by the annual analytical test, by the cylinder surface used in the press during the printing. The cylinder surface used in the press during printing is calculated by multiplying the cylinder surface (= 2πrL, where r is the radius and L the length of the cylinder) by the number of printing productions during a year (= number of different printing jobs).

(b) Emissions to air

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

The following criterion must be met:

(PVOC – RVOC)/Ppaper < 5 [kg/tonnes]

Where:

PVOC	=	the annual total kilograms of VOC contained in the purchased chemical products used for the annual total production of printed products
RVOC	=	the annual total kilograms of VOC destroyed by abatement, recovered from printing processes and sold, or reused
Ppaper	=	the annual total tonnes of paper purchased and used for the production of printed products.

Where a printing house uses different printing technologies, this criterion shall be fulfilled for each one separately.

The PVOC term shall be calculated from SDS information related to VOC content or from an equivalent declaration provided by the supplier of chemical products.

The RVOC term shall be calculated from the declaration on the content of VOC contained in the chemical products sold or from the internal counting register (or any other equivalent document) reporting the annual amount of VOC recovered and reused on site.

Specific conditions for heat-set printing:

(i)

For heat-set offset printing with an integrated after-burner unit in place for the drying unit, the following calculation method shall apply:

PVOC

(ii)

For heat-set offset printing, without an integrated after-burner unit in place for the drying unit, the following calculation method shall apply:

PVOC

90 % of the annual total kilograms of VOC contained in damping solutions used for the annual production of printed products + 85 % of the annual total kilograms of VOC contained in washing agents used for the annual production of printed products + 10 % of annual total kilograms of VOC contained in the printing inks used for the annual production of printed products.

For (i) and (ii), proportionately lower percentages than 90 % and 85 % may be used in this calculation if more than 10 % or 15 % respectively of annual total kilograms of VOC contained in the damping solutions or washing agents used for the annual production of printed products are shown to be abated in the treatment system for combusting gases from the drying process.

Assessment and verification: a declaration of the VOC content in alcohols, washing agents, inks, damping solutions or other corresponding chemical products shall be provided by the chemical supplier. The applicant shall provide evidence of the calculation according to the criteria laid down above. The period for the calculations shall be based on the production during 12 months.
