COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1018/2012
of 5 November 2012
amending Regulations (EC) No 232/2009, (EC) No 188/2007, (EC) No 186/2007, (EC) No 209/2008, (EC) No 1447/2006, (EC) No 316/2003, (EC) No 1811/2005, (EC) No 1288/2004, (EC) No 2148/2004, (EC) No 1137/2007, (EC) No 1293/2008, (EC) No 226/2007, (EC) No 1444/2006, (EC) No 1876/2006, (EC) No 1847/2003, (EC) No 2036/2005, (EC) No 492/2006, (EC) No 1200/2005, and (EC) No 1520/2007 as regards the maximum content of certain micro-organisms in complete feedingstuffs
(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 13(1), (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc 47 belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’ was authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 232/2009 (2) for dairy buffaloes, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1447/2006 (3) for lambs for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 188/2007 (4) for dairy goats and dairy sheep, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 186/2007 (5) for horses, and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 209/2008 (6) for pigs for fattening. It was authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 316/2003 (7) for cattle for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1811/2005 (8) for dairy cows, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 (9) for sows, and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/2004 (10) for weaned piglets. |
|
(2) |
In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisations has proposed changing the terms of the authorisations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc 47 as set out in the Regulations referred to in recital 1. |
|
(3) |
The use of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’ was authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 (11) for chickens for fattening. |
|
(4) |
In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 as set out in the Regulation referred to in recital 3. |
|
(5) |
The opinions adopted by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) on the use of certain micro-organisms in feed were based on the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) status of the micro-organisms concerned (‘Scientific Opinion on the maintenance of the list of QPS biological agents intentionally added to food and feed (2011 update)’ (12)). The holders of the authorisations have proposed to delete the limitation concerning the maximum content of the micro-organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc 47 and Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 in complete feedingstuffs, on the basis that the maximum doses were not consistent with the QPS approach. |
|
(6) |
In order to avoid market distortions it is appropriate to delete the limitation concerning the maximum content also as regards authorisations of other micro-organisms having the same QPS status. |
|
(7) |
In accordance with Article 13(1) the Authority was requested to provide an opinion on the possibility to delete the maximum content for other micro-organisms having the same QPS status: Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1293/2008 (13) for lambs, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 226/2007 (14) for dairy goats and dairy sheep and without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (15) for dairy cows and cattle for fattening; Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079 authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1847/2003 (16) for piglets and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 (17) for sows; Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 for cattle for fattening and calves and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1811/2005 (18) for dairy cows; Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 492/2006 (19) for cattle for fattening; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1292/2008 (20) for chickens for fattening; Lactobacillus farciminis CNCM MA 67/4R authorised for four years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1876/2006 (21) for chickens and turkeys for fattening and laying hens and without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 492/2006 for weaned piglets; Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA18/5M authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 for chickens for fattening and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 for pigs for fattening; Lactobacillus acidophilus D2/CSL CECT4529 authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2007 (22) for laying hens; Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544) authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1444/2006 (23) for chickens for fattening. |
|
(8) |
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 24 April 2012 (24) that the setting of a maximum content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc 47, Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1079, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94, Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940, Lactobacillus farciminis CNCM MA 67/4R, Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM MA18/5M, Lactobacillus acidophilus D2/CSL CECT4529, and Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544) in complete feedingstuff does not offer any additional degree of safety for the target animals and consumers. Therefore, there are no reasons to maintain the maximum content for them. |
|
(9) |
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. |
|
(10) |
Regulations (EC) No 232/2009, (EC) No 188/2007, (EC) No 186/2007, (EC) No 209/2008, (EC) No 1447/2006, (EC) No 316/2003, (EC) No 1811/2005, (EC) No 1288/2004, (EC) No 2148/2004, (EC) No 1137/2007, (EC) No 1293/2008, (EC) No 226/2007, (EC) No 1444/2006, (EC) No 1876/2006, (EC) No 1847/2003, (EC) No 2036/2005, (EC) No 492/2006, (EC) No 1200/2005, and (EC) No 1520/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1019/2012
of 6 November 2012
amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 as regards the minimum content of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) as a feed additive in feed for chickens for fattening and for ducks (holder of authorisation BASF SE)
(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 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The enzyme endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’ was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening and for ducks by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 (2) and for use on turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1380/2007 (3). |
|
(2) |
In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of the enzyme concerned by reducing its minimum content from 560 TXU/kg to 280 TXU/kg as regards use on chickens for fattening and ducks. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. |
|
(3) |
The European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 2 February 2012 (4) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the enzyme concerned is efficacious at the requested minimum dose of 280 TXU/kg. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. |
|
(4) |
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. |
|
(5) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1020/2012
of 6 November 2012
adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2013 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union and derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) has established a scheme whereby food products may be distributed to the most deprived persons in the Union. For that purpose, products in intervention stocks may be made available or, where intervention stocks suitable for the food distribution scheme are not available, food products may be purchased on the market. |
|
(2) |
For 2013, that scheme is included in the list of measures eligible for financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), within an annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. |
|
(3) |
In accordance with Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the Commission has to adopt an annual plan. |
|
(4) |
In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (5), that plan has to lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies. |
|
(5) |
The Member States wishing to participate in the distribution plan for the 2013 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. |
|
(6) |
For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of the best estimates of the number of most deprived person in the Member States concerned and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years. |
|
(7) |
Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual distribution plan. Accordingly, the intra-Union transfers necessary to implement that plan for 2013 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. |
|
(8) |
In order to enforce the annual budgetary ceiling, the intra-Union transfer costs, where relevant, should be included into the total financial allocation made available for each Member State to implement the 2013 distribution plan. Moreover, the deadlines fixed by Articles 3(3) and 9 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 as regards the completion of the payment operations for products mobilised on the market, the requests for payment and the execution of payments by the competent authorities, should be adjusted, in order to ensure that the resources allocated within the 2013 distribution plan are only eligible for Union support if those payments are made in the 2013 budget year. |
|
(9) |
Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides that the plan implementation period finishes on 31 December. To enable the Member States to make full use of the period of implementation while respecting the deadlines relating to payments, it is necessary to allow the granting of advance payments for the transport of products to the storage depots of the charitable organisations and for the transport, administrative and storage costs incurred by the charitable organisations designated to distribute the products. In order to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the annual plan, the same possibility should be allowed for the supply of products in duly justified cases. For the same reason, the use of advance payments should be limited. In addition it needs to be established how and when a security is required. |
|
(10) |
Taking into consideration the non-profit nature of the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the competent authorities of the Member States should be empowered to allow alternative guarantee instruments when advances are paid to those organisations in respect of their administrative, transport and storage costs. |
|
(11) |
For accounting purposes, Member States should be required to notify the Commission of certain information related to the advance payments. |
|
(12) |
Due to the current market situation in the cereals sector, which is marked by high market price levels, it is appropriate, in order to secure the Union’s financial interests, to increase the security, which is to be lodged by the contractor undertaking the supply operation of cereals as provided for in Articles 4(3) and 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. |
|
(13) |
To implement the annual distribution plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts. |
|
(14) |
In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Union when drawing up the annual distribution plan. |
|
(15) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In 2013, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1021/2012
of 6 November 2012
concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive for minor poultry species other than ducks (holder of authorisation Danisco Animal Nutrition)
(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) and Article 13(3) 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. |
|
(2) |
The use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2) and for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3). |
|
(3) |
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) for minor poultry species other than ducks requesting that the additive be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
|
(4) |
The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support its requests. |
|
(5) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) focused its assessment on safety and efficacy for the new target species. The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 May 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, since safety of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) has been established in the major poultry species with a wide margin of safety, this conclusion can be extended to all poultry species requested. They stated that a similar conclusion on efficacy can be extrapolated from major poultry species to all minor poultry species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. 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. |
|
(6) |
The assessment of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) 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 preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |
|
(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 enzyme as specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1022/2012
of 6 November 2012
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2012 on account of overfishing in the previous years
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 105(1), (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Following the publication of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 of 30 July 2012 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2012 on account of overfishing in the previous years (2), the Polish fisheries authorities discovered and notified a mistake in the declarations of catches landed by Denmark in their country. |
|
(2) |
Having been consulted, the Danish fisheries authorities confirmed and corrected the reporting mistake. |
|
(3) |
After correction, it appears that the Polish quotas of the 2011 herring and sprat stocks in area IIIa (HER/03A. and SPR/03A) were not overfished. |
|
(4) |
The deductions to the 2012 Polish herring and sprat fishing quotas in area IIIa, as set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012, should therefore no longer be applicable. |
|
(5) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly and the amendments should have retroactive effect to the date of publication of that Regulation, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 31 July 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 October 2012
on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (application EGF/2010/015 FR/Peugeot from France)
(2012/680/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market. |
|
(2) |
The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to 30 December 2011 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis. |
|
(3) |
The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. |
|

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 5 November 2012
on the harmonisation of the frequency bands 1 920-1 980 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Union
(notified under document C(2012) 7697)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/688/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 14 December 1998, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision No 128/1999/EC on the coordinated introduction of a third-generation mobile and wireless communications system (UMTS) in the Community (2) (UMTS Decision) covering the frequency bands 1 900-1 980 MHz, 2 010-2 025 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz (‘the terrestrial 2 GHz band’). According to that Decision, Member States were to take all necessary actions in order to allow the coordinated and progressive introduction of the UMTS services on their territory by 1 January 2002 at the latest and in particular were to establish an authorisation system for UMTS by 1 January 2000 at the latest. This Decision expired on 22 January 2003, but the harmonisation of the spectrum has remained in place. |
|
(2) |
The Commission has since then supported a more flexible use of spectrum in its Communication on ‘Rapid access to spectrum for wireless electronic communications services through more flexibility’ (3), which inter alia addresses the terrestrial 2 GHz band and aims to avoid disruption of the market. The principles of technological neutrality and service neutrality have been confirmed by Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (4). |
|
(3) |
The designation of the paired sub-bands 1 920-1 980 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz (‘the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band’) for systems capable of providing electronic communications services is an important element addressing the convergence of the mobile, fixed and broadcasting sectors and reflecting technical innovation. Systems deployed in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band should mainly target end-user access to broadband services. |
|
(4) |
Users of wireless broadband services for which the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band is already used today in one Member State can also gain access to equivalent services in any other Member State. However, the unpaired sub-band 1 900-1 920 MHz, although licensed to operators in many Member States, remains largely unused, and the unpaired sub-band 2 010-2 025 MHz is licensed to operators just in few Member States and not used. |
|
(5) |
Pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, the Commission gave on 15 June 2009 a mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (the ‘CEPT’) to develop least restrictive technical conditions for frequency bands addressed in the context of the Wireless Access Policy for Electronic Communications Services (WAPECS). |
|
(6) |
In response to that mandate, the CEPT has issued a report (CEPT Report 39) containing least restrictive technical conditions and guidance for their application to base stations and terminal stations operating in the terrestrial 2 GHz band. In the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, these technical conditions are appropriate to manage the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks at national and cross-border level without imposing any particular type of technology and based on optimised parameters for the most likely use of the band. In the unpaired sub-bands 1 900-1 920 MHz and 2 010-2 025 MHz (‘the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band’) however, the technical conditions contained in CEPT Report 39 are more restrictive for the operation of mobile networks than stipulated in current existing national rights of use. |
|
(7) |
In accordance with CEPT Report 39 the concept of Block Edge Masks (BEM), which are technical parameters that apply to the entire block of spectrum of a specific user, irrespective of the number of channels occupied by the user’s chosen technology, would be appropriate. These masks are intended to form part of the authorisation conditions for spectrum usage. They cover both emissions within the block of spectrum (i.e. in-block power) as well as emissions outside the block (i.e. out-of-block emission). They are regulatory requirements aimed at managing the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks and are without prejudice to limits set in equipment standards under Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (5) (R&TTE Directive). |
|
(8) |
The technical conditions defined as a result of the mandate to CEPT also aim to protect existing applications in adjacent bands against harmful interference. For that purpose, compliance with the existing spectrum emission mask for UMTS should be ensured below 1 900 MHz, between 1 980 and 2 010 MHz, between 2 025 and 2 110 MHz and above 2 170 MHz. In so far as coexistence with another radio application is not addressed in CEPT Report 39 and the Electronic Communications Committee’s ERC Report 65, which the CEPT Report 39 uses as a basis, appropriate sharing criteria for coexistence could also be defined based on national considerations. |
|
(9) |
The results of CEPT Report 39 should be made applicable in the Union and implemented by the Member States taking into account the existing rights of use in the terrestrial 2 GHz band for UMTS and the effective use of spectrum. |
|
(10) |
However, given the restrictive technical conditions on transmission power levels for the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band set out in CEPT Report 39 — in order to protect operations in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band and ensure coexistence of multiple TDD networks — as well as the limited overall bandwidth of the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the take-up of wireless broadband services under the current license conditions is obstructed. This situation requires studying alternative harmonisation measures for the unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz band and may entail modification of existing licences. In order not to prevent the early introduction of flexibility of use in the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the separation of harmonisation measures for the paired and unpaired terrestrial 2 GHz bands becomes necessary. |
|
(11) |
Technical harmonisation conditions should be introduced only for the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band without prejudice to the right of Member States to organise the authorisation of the use of the terrestrial 2 GHz band taking into consideration the rights of use in existence under their jurisdiction and in line with Union law, and in particular Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) (6), and Articles 9 and 9a of Directive 2002/21/EC. |
|
(12) |
Harmonisation under this Decision should not exclude the possibility for a Member State to apply, where justified and taking into account existing rights of use, transitional periods that could include radio spectrum sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision No 676/2002/EC. |
|
(13) |
In order to ensure effective use of the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band also in the long term, administrations should continue with studies that may increase efficiency and innovative use. Such studies should be taken into account when considering a review of this Decision. |
|
(14) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
This Decision aims at harmonising the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the frequency bands 1 920-1 980 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz (hereafter ‘the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band’) for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Union.
Article 2
1. By 30 June 2014 at the latest, or whenever applying Article 9a of Directive 2002/21/EC at an earlier date to an existing right or issuing new rights to use part or all of the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, Member States shall designate and make available, on a non-exclusive basis, the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services, in compliance with the parameters set out in the Annex.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1 and pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, Member States may request transitional periods that may include radio spectrum sharing arrangements and that shall expire by 24 May 2016 at the latest.
3. Member States shall ensure that the systems referred to in paragraph 1 give appropriate protection to systems in adjacent bands.
4. Member States shall facilitate cross-border coordination agreements with the aim of enabling the operation of the systems referred to in paragraph 1, taking into account existing regulatory procedures and rights.
Article 3
Member States shall keep the use of the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band under scrutiny and report their findings to the Commission to allow regular and timely review of this Decision.
Article 4
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

ANNEX
PARAMETERS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 2(1)
The technical conditions presented in this Annex are in the form of frequency arrangements and block-edge masks (BEMs). A BEM is an emission mask that is defined, as a function of frequency, relative to the edge of a block of spectrum for which rights of use are granted to an operator. It consists of in-block and out-of-block components which specify the permitted emission levels over frequencies inside and outside the licensed block of spectrum, respectively.
The BEM levels are built up by combining the values listed in the tables below in such a way that the limit at any frequency is given by the highest (least stringent) value of (a) the baseline requirements, (b) the transition requirements, and (c) the in-block requirements (where appropriate). The BEMs are presented as upper limits on the mean equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) or total radiated power (TRP) (1) over an averaging time interval, and over a measurement frequency bandwidth. In the time domain, the EIRP or TRP is averaged over the active portions of signal bursts and corresponds to a single power control setting. In the frequency domain, the EIRP or TRP is determined over the measurement bandwidth specified in point B(2), Tables 1, 2 and 3 (2). In general, and unless stated otherwise, the BEM levels correspond to the aggregate power radiated by the relevant device including all transmit antennas, except in the case of baseline and transition requirements for base stations, which are specified per antenna.
BEMs shall be applied as an essential component of the technical conditions necessary to ensure coexistence between services at national level. However, it should be understood that the derived BEMs do not always provide the required level of protection of victim services and additional mitigation techniques would need to be applied in a proportionate manner at national level in order to resolve any remaining cases of interference, also with respect to adjacent bands.
Member States shall also ensure that operators of terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services can use less stringent technical parameters than those set out below in points A, B and C provided that the use of these parameters is agreed among all affected parties and that these operators continue to comply with the technical conditions applicable for the protection of other services, applications or networks and with obligations resulting from cross-border coordination.
Equipment operating in this band may also make use of power limits other than those set out below provided that appropriate mitigation techniques are applied which comply with Directive 1999/5/EC and which offer at least an equivalent level of protection to that provided by these technical parameters.
A. General parameters
Within the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band, the frequency arrangement shall be as follows:
|
(1) |
The duplex mode of operation shall be Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The duplex spacing shall be 190 MHz with terminal station transmission (FDD uplink) located in the lower part of the band starting at 1 920 MHz and finishing at 1 980 MHz and base station transmission (FDD downlink) located in the upper part of the band starting at 2 110 MHz and finishing at 2 170 MHz. |
|
(2) |
The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 920 MHz starts at 1 920,3 MHz or above (3). The spectrum block edge nearest to 1 980 MHz ends at 1 979,7 MHz or below (4). The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 110 MHz starts at 2 110,3 MHz or above (5). The spectrum block edge nearest to 2 170 MHz ends at 2 169,7 MHz or below (6). |
Base station and terminal station transmission within the paired terrestrial 2 GHz band shall be in compliance with the BEMs in this Annex.
B. Technical conditions for FDD base stations
(1) In-block requirements
An in-block EIRP limit for base stations is not obligatory. However, Member States may set an EIRP limit of between 61 dBm/5 MHz and 65 dBm/5 MHz in the FDD downlink band, noting that this limit can be increased for specific deployments, e.g. in areas of low population density provided that this does not significantly increase the risk of terminal station receiver blocking.
(2) Out-of-block requirements

Member States may relax the limit set out in Table 3 for specific deployments, e.g. fixed terminal stations in rural areas provided that protection of other services, networks and applications is not compromised and cross-border obligations are fulfilled.
(1) TRP is a measure of how much power the antenna actually radiates. The TRP is defined as the integral of the power transmitted in different directions over the entire radiation sphere. EIRP and TRP are equivalent for isotropic antennas.
(2) The actual measurement bandwidth of the measurement equipment used for purposes of compliance testing may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth provided in the tables.
(3) Member States may decide to reduce this frequency to 1 920,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.
(4) Member States may decide to increase this frequency to 1 980,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.
(5) Member States may decide to reduce this frequency to 2 110,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.
(6) Member States may decide to increase this frequency to 2 170,0 MHz for consistency with conditions of existing authorisations.
(7) The BEM level is defined per antenna and applicable to base station configuration with up to four antennas per sector.
(8) The BEM level is defined per antenna and applicable to base station configuration with up to four antennas per sector.
(9) This power limit is specified as EIRP for terminal stations designed to be fixed or installed and as TRP for terminal stations designed to be mobile or nomadic. EIRP and TRP are equivalent for isotropic antennas. It is recognised that this value may be subject to a tolerance defined in the harmonised standards to take account of operation under extreme environmental conditions and production spread.
(10) For the determination of out of band emissions of terminals in CEPT Report 39 the maximum conducted transmit power of 23 dBm has been used as a reference.

GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 26 September 2012
on the data quality management framework for the Centralised Securities Database
(ECB/2012/21)
(2012/689/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, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) is a single information technology infrastructure, which is operated jointly by the members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), including national central banks (NCBs) of non-euro area Member States where such NCBs voluntarily participate in the operation of the CSDB. The CSDB stores item-by-item data, in particular, data on securities, their issuers and prices. |
|
(2) |
Data are collected from various sources, including from ESCB members, certain commercial data providers, the public domain and administrative sources, and transmitted to the CSDB. There is a risk, however, that such input data may be inaccurate or incomplete. The CSDB system is able to reconcile partially inconsistent input data from different sources, and can detect incomplete or missing data. It automatically compounds input data from various overlapping sources to the extent possible into a complete and high quality single record. |
|
(3) |
The overall quality of data in the CSDB can only be assessed at the level of output data rather than at the level of individual sets of input data. To ensure the completeness, accuracy and consistency of output data, to the extent possible, it is necessary to define a framework for data quality management (DQM) to be applied to output feed data, a subset of output data that can be used to support the production of statistics or other uses. Output feed data is provided to NCBs no later than seven working days following the end of each calendar month. |
|
(4) |
Some output feed data also include attributes such as prices or income-related information which are expected to fluctuate over time. These attributes are automatically verified by the CSDB system through the application of statistical algorithms. Only attributes specified in Annex I for each DQM target are subject to verification by competent authorities in accordance with this Guideline. The full list of attributes constituting the supported feeds is set out in Annex II. |
|
(5) |
The CSDB DQM framework should be applied to output feed data regardless of the source of input data. It should lay down the responsibilities of the euro area NCBs for the quality of output data in the CSDB and, where relevant, those of the European Central Bank (ECB). |
|
(6) |
The CSDB DQM framework should be based, first, on DQM targets that represent indicators for assessing the quality of output feed data and, second, on DQM metrics that identify and prioritise, for each respective DQM target, the output feed data that need to be verified. It should also be based on DQM thresholds that define the minimum level of verification that needs to be conducted in relation to a DQM target. |
|
(7) |
Given the absence of benchmark data, DQM targets do not always identify errors in output feed data but can only identify cases where manual verification of output feed data is needed. |
|
(8) |
Since the CSDB is operated jointly by all ESCB members, they should all aim to follow the same DQM standards. Moreover, non-euro area NCBs are in the best position to carry out DQM on the data related to issuers residing in their respective Member States. While it is recognised that guidelines adopted by the ECB may not impose any obligations on non-euro area NCBs, Article 5 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank applies to both euro area and non-euro area NCBs. Non-euro area NCBs should therefore design and implement all the measures that they consider appropriate in order to carry out DQM in accordance with this Guideline. |
|
(9) |
To improve the quality of output data, data source management (DSM) should be carried out with the aim of identifying and correcting repetitive and structural mistakes in input data directly with the data provider, |
