COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 530/2013

of 10 June 2013

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

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)

Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (2) provides for tariff preferences that apply from 1 January 2014. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012, in order to benefit from the tariff preferences, the products for which the tariff preferences are claimed have to originate in a beneficiary country.

(2)

The rules of origin on the basis of which the Union scheme of generalised tariff preferences (‘the scheme’) is implemented were adapted in 2010 and are laid down in Articles 66 to 97w of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3). The changes provided for in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 concern, inter alia, the country coverage of the scheme and have thus an impact on certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, especially those regarding regional cumulation. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should reflect those changes.

(3)	It is therefore necessary to provide that regional cumulation applies amongst countries in the same regional group only where they are, at the time of exportation of the product to the Union, beneficiaries of the scheme.

(4)

It is also necessary to provide that where countries are no longer beneficiaries of the scheme, certain of their obligations continue to apply, in particular as regards administrative cooperation, for a period of three years from the date of the change of their status, with the aim to enable the subsequent verification of proofs of origin for the products exported from those countries.

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

(6)	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:

(1)

Article 66 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 66

This section lays down the rules concerning the definition of the concept of “originating products”, the procedures and the methods of administrative cooperation related thereto, for the purposes of the application of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP) granted by the Union by Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*1) to developing countries (“the scheme”).

For the purposes of point (b), where the qualifying operation laid down in Part II of Annex 13a is not the same for all countries involved in cumulation, the origin of products exported from one country to another country of the regional group for the purpose of regional cumulation shall be determined on the basis of the rule which would apply if the products were being exported to the Union.

(a)

Introductory Note 1.1 is replaced by the following:

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 41 thereof,

Whereas:

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)

Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (2) sets out the active substances deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(2)

The approvals of the active substances 1-methyl-cyclopropene, chlorothalonil, chlorotoluron, cypermethrin, daminozide, forchlorfenuron, indoxacarb, thiophanate-methyl and tribenuron will expire between 28 February 2016 and 31 March 2016. Applications have been submitted for the renewal of these active substances. As the requirements laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 of 18 September 2012 setting out the provisions necessary for the implementation of the renewal procedure for active substances, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (3) apply to those active substances, it is necessary to allow applicants sufficient time to complete the renewal procedure in accordance with that Regulation. Consequently, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision has been taken on their renewal. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods.

(3)	Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where no supplementary dossier in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 is submitted no later than 30 months before the respective expiry date laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before the entry into force of this Regulation or at the earliest date thereafter.

(5)

In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where the Commission will adopt a Regulation providing that the approval of an active substance referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is not renewed because the approval criteria are not satisfied, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before this Regulation or at the date of the entry into force of the Regulation providing that the approval of the active substance is not renewed, whichever date is later.

(6)	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:
