COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 578/2013

of 17 June 2013

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 4(6) thereof,

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 Article 71 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 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 last established in Commission 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 (3).

(3)

On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain additional 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 new species should therefore be suspended:

 

Hippopotamus amphibius from Cameroon and Mozambique;

 

Cercopithecus dryas from the Democratic Republic of the Congo;

 

Stephanoaetus coronatus and Torgos tracheliotus from Tanzania;

 

Balearica pavonina from Sudan;

 

Chamaeleo africanus from Niger;

 

Heosemys annandalii and Heosemys grandis from Laos;

 

Mantella pulchra from Madagascar;

 

Tridacna crocea, Tridacna maxima and Tridacna squamosa from Cambodia;

 

Nardostachys grandiflora from Nepal.

(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 for:

 

Canis lupus from Kyrgyzstan;

 

Ateles geoffroyi and Brachypelma albopilosum from Nicaragua;

 

Calumma brevicorne, Calumma gastrotaenia, Calumma nasutum, Calumma parsonii, Furcifer antimena, Furcifer campani and Furcifer minor from Madagascar;

 

Cuora amboinensis, Cuora galbinifrons, Cycadaceae spp., Christensonia vietnamica, Stangeriaceae spp. and Zamiaceae spp. from Vietnam;

 

Rauvolfia serpentina from Myanmar;

 

Pterocarpus santalinus from India.

(5)

The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to introduction into the Union have all been consulted.

(6)

The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended should therefore be amended and Regulation (EU) No 757/2012 should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced.

(7)

The Scientific Review Group established pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 has been consulted.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora established pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

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 757/2012 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, 17 June 2013.

1.   Name

‘Pasas De Málaga’

2.   Member State or Third Country

Spain

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product

Class 1.6 —

 Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed

3.2.   Description of product to which the name in (1) applies

Definition

Traditional ‘Pasas de Málaga’ are obtained by sun-drying the ripe fruit of the Muscat of Alexandria variety of Vitis vinifera L., also known as Moscatel Gordo or Moscatel de Málaga.

Physical characteristics

—

Regarding the length and width of the berry, as set out in the Descriptor List for Grape Varieties and Vitis Species published by the International Organisation for Vine and Wine (OIV), the Muscat of Alexandria variety features long (7) and wide (7) berries which produce large dry raisins.

—

Colour: uniform purple black

—

Shape: rounded

—

The peduncle may still be attached if the grapes are removed from the bunch manually.

—

Skin softness: in the OIV Descriptor List ‘thickness of skin’ is graded as follows: 1 = very thin, 3 = thin, 5 = average, 7 = thick and 9 = very thick; the Muscat of Alexandria variety falls under category 5 (‘average’). As the berries do not undergo any treatment that impairs the skin, the raisins therefore have a skin of medium thickness.

Chemical characteristics

The degree of moisture must be less than 35 %. The sugar content must be greater than 50 % w/w.

—

Acidity: between 1.2 and 1.7 % in tartaric acid.

—

pH: between 3.5 and 4.5.

—

Water-soluble solids: greater than 65 ° Brix.

Organoleptic characteristics

—

The raisins retain the characteristic muscat flavour of the grapes from which they are produced: In the OIV Descriptor List the characteristic ‘particular flavour’ is graded as follows: 1 = none, 2 = muscat, 3 = foxy, 4 = herbaceous, 5 = other flavour; Muscat of Alexandria is classed as 2 and it is this variety of Muscat that is the OIV reference for this grade.

—

The muscat flavour is enhanced by an intense retronasal aroma dominated by the following terpenols: a-terpineol (aromatic herbs), linalol (rose), geraniol (geranium) and b-citronelol (citrus).

—

The degree of acidity, as indicated above, helps to create a specific sweet-sour balance.

—

The medium size, degree of moisture and Brix value give the raisins an elastic, flexible quality; the pulp feels fleshy and juicy in the mouth, tactile sensations which are not at all like the dry, inelastic feel dried fruit often has.

3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

Traditional ‘Pasas de Málaga’ are obtained by sun-drying the ripe fruit of the Muscat of Alexandria variety of Vitis vinifera L., also known as Moscatel Gordo or Moscatel de Málaga.

3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

Not applicable.

3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

Production and packaging must take place in the geographical area defined in point 4.

Production begins with the harvesting of healthy grapes, which never takes place before the phenological stage of ‘ripening’ (Baggiolini, 1952), avoiding fruit that are not intact or have been damaged by disease or fallen to the ground before harvesting.

The next step is drying the grapes by directly exposing the bunches to the sun. They must not be dried artificially. The work is done manually: every day the farmer turns the bunches of grapes that are spread out to dry so that they dry evenly on both sides.

Once the bunches of grapes are dry, the berries are removed by work known as picado, performed by hand using scissors whose size and shape are specially adapted so as not to impair the quality of the fruit removed from the dried bunches, or by machine in factories.

Once the raisins are ready, off or on the bunch, the production process continues in the raisin factories, where the following tasks must be performed before the packaged raisins can be placed on the market:

—

Receipt and collection of the raisins delivered by the raisin farmers;

—

The raisins are removed from the bunch, if this has not already been done by the farmer;

—

They are classed by average size of fruit, measured as the number of raisins per 100 grams;

—

Preparation for packaging: i.e. the separation into units of fruit that has already been classed and stored. There must always be fewer than 80 fruits per 100 grams net;

—

Packaging: by hand or by machine. This is the final stage of production and it plays a crucial role in protecting the quality characteristics of the raisins over time, so only by isolating it from the environment in clean, well-sealed packaging is it possible to preserve the delicate moisture balance that is such an important characteristic of the product.

3.6.   Specific rules on slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

Not applicable.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

The packaging must bear the following information (on top of the Protected Designation of Origin):

—

the sales name of the product: the name ‘Pasas de Málaga’ must be prominently displayed, with the words ‘Denominación de Origen’ (Designation of Origin) immediately below.

—

The net quantity, in kilograms (kg) or grams (g),

—

Date of minimum durability.

—

The name, trading name or designation of the producer or the packager and, in any event, their registered office address,

—

The batch.

The name under which the product is sold, the net quantity and the use-by date must appear in the same field of view.

In all cases, the compulsory indications must be easy to understand, prominently displayed and easily visible, clearly legible and indelible. They shall not in any way be hidden, obscured or interrupted by other written or pictorial matter.

All packaging must include a label bearing the PDO logo and the words ‘Denominación de Origen Protegida’ and ‘Pasas de Málaga’, plus a unique code for each unit.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

LOCATION

COUNTRY: SPAIN

AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY: ANDALUCÍA

PROVINCE: MÁLAGA

There are areas of vineyard all over the Province of Malaga, north, south, east and west. In two of these areas most of the grapes have traditionally been grown for raisin production. The most important of these is the district of Axarquia in the eastern part of the province, to the east of the capital. The other area is at the far western end of the Malaga coast. The defined geographical area comprises the following municipalities:

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

There have been references to the link between vine growing and the defined geographical area since ancient times, right down till the present day. Pliny the Elder (1st century AD) mentioned the fact that there were vineyards in Malaga in his work the ‘Natural History’. During the Nasrid dynasty era (13th-15th centuries) agricultural production was encouraged, in particular grape growing for raisin production. Vine growing flourished until the end of the 19th century, when a combination of commercial factors and plant health problems, mainly phylloxera (Viteus vitifoliae, Fitch) caused the sector to collapse. As a result, today’s vineyards are scattered all over the province. In two of these areas most of the grapes have traditionally been grown for raisin production. Both areas of production are in the southern part of the province, bordering on the Mediterranean sea, so they have a subtropical Mediterranean climate. The uneven terrain is also a general feature of the Province of Malaga. Although grapes grown for raisin production no longer occupy as much land as they did before phylloxera, they are still an important factor in the economy and the socio-cultural environment in a large section of the province. They are grown in more than 35 municipalities by over 1 800 farmers on 2 200 ha of land.

The qualities of ‘Pasas de Málaga’ are to a large extent determined by the natural environment. One of the characteristic features of the geographical area is its uneven terrain: the landscape is a succession of hills and river beds with gradients of over 30 %. The territory, with a high mountain range to the north and the Mediterranean sea in the south, is a succession of canyons and river beds which form a very particular landscape with steep slopes, so that the whole of Axarquia is like a hillside going down to the sea. In the Manilva area, where the vines are close to the sea, the relief is gentler than in Axarquia.

The soil is essentially slatey, poor, shallow and with poor water holding capacity. The climate is subtropical Mediterranean, with mild winters, dry summers, little rain and long hours of sunshine (average 2 974 hours over the past decade).

5.2.   Specificity of the product

The size of Pasas de Málaga is one of their most appreciated and distinguishing characteristics, they are considered large, and clearly superior to other products of their kind, such as sultanas, currants and California Thompson seedless.

The raisins retain the characteristic muscat flavour of the grapes from which they are produced, and it is this variety of Muscat that is the OIV reference for one of the grades of ‘particular flavour’.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

The link between the geographical area and the specific quality of the product derives directly from the conditions in which the raisins are produced. The relief facilitates the natural exposure of the bunches to the sun for drying: this method of drying preserves the quality of the skin and enhances the muscat flavour by concentrating the aromas. The hot, dry weather at harvest time is good for ripening and the accumulation in the berries of the dry matter and sugars that are important for successful drying, in turn enabling the pulp to retain its characteristic juiciness and elasticity. The hours of sunshine mean that the bunches can be exposed to the sun for short periods, so that the raisin retains the berry’s acidity.

It is because the growing conditions are difficult that over time Muscat of Alexandria has become the main variety cultivated, as it is the best adapted to this particular environment. The variety has the genetic potential for differentiating characteristics such as size of the fruit, quality of the skin, properties of the pulp, muscat aromas and a high degree of insoluble solids (fibre) that are mostly in the pips.

The difficult terrain has made raisin production an artisanal activity, where tasks such as harvesting, putting the bunches of grapes out to dry in the sun and turning them as they dry, and selecting the fruit are done manually, and great attention is paid to quality. The task of removing the grapes from the bunch (picado) is also done manually, which is why ‘Pasas de Málaga’ often have the peduncle attached.

Drying is an ancient, natural way of preserving food, whereby deterioration is prevented by the removal of excess water. Only with experience and knowledge acquired over the years is it possible to achieve the delicate moisture balance that gives this product some of its best-known organoleptic characteristics, as described in this specification.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The geographical area is characterised by the presence of the Vosges Mountains. In this heavily wooded mountain range, Vosges fir trees are by far the most abundant species. They are well suited to the soil, which is made up of an acidic substratum, granite and sandstone, and to the semi-continental climate, characterised by its humidity and coolness, which are favourable to the growth of the trees. The North-South orientation of the Vosges Mountains accentuates the characteristics of this climate, blocking clouds coming in from the west. This explains the abundant rainfall pattern (Foehn effect). Honey has long been produced in Lorraine. Various documents attest to awards won in competitions, most notably at a 1902 agricultural show.

Key operators from the Vosges beekeeping community have done everything to promote and highlight the value of this specific production sector.

This led to the recognition of the ‘Miel des Vosges-Montagne’ designation of origin in a ruling by the Nancy Regional Court of 25 April 1952, which later became the ‘Miel de Sapin des Vosges’ registered designation of origin on 30 July 1996.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

In Le goût du miel (Gonnet & Vache, 1985), the authors distinguish ‘Miel de Sapin des Vosges’ from other types of fir honey produced in France on account of its specific characteristics: darker colour, typical pale green highlights, very slow — if any — crystallisation, balsamic aroma and very characteristic malty flavour.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

‘Miel de Sapin des Vosges’ is a product that is very closely linked to its area of origin since it forms part of an uninterrupted chain from the Vosges fir. From this species, aphids extract the sap which they process into honeydew, which is foraged on by bees to produce this very characteristic honey.

Its production is very closely related to the location of the conifer forests specific to the Vosges region, from which beekeepers have been able to draw and preserve their specific character.

In literature (Gonnet & Vache, Le goût du miel, 1985) there are references to the unique character of ‘Miel de Sapin des Vosges’, which is associated in particular with the regional, climatic and soil conditions. Its specific characteristics stem from the fact that the bees forage on honeydew produced by aphids living on Vosges fir trees (Abies pectinata). It therefore draws its specific characteristics from the following factors: the species of fir which is foraged and the nature of ‘Miel de Sapin des Vosges’ (honeydew honey).

Clearly illustrating this close interaction between the environment and the product is the cyclical pattern to the production of honeydew, which is linked to the growth cycle of aphid populations. To this day, this phenomenon remains largely unexplained.

Method of production (Section 4.5 on Specification)

Amendment

Explanation

4.5.

Method of production: Ingredients for the manufacture of Melton Mowbray Pork Pies:

 

Mandatory ingredients — the following ingredients must be used:

This clarifies all the ingredients that must be used in a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie.

Uncured pork

 

Salt

 

Lard and/or shortening

 

Wheat flour

 

Pork gelatine and/or pork bonestock

 

Water

 

Spices

 

Optional ingredients — the following ingredients may be used:

These are the optional ingredients that may be used, but no others.

Egg and/or milk (for glazing only)

Glaze (egg and/or milk) — this enhances the golden brown colour of the baked pastry. Egg and milk are used in baking both domestically and commercially to enhance the baked appearance of pastry and bread products.

Breadcrumbs or rusk

Breadcrumbs or rusk

Starch

Starch

Where these optional ingredients are used the total amount in the final product will not exceed 8 %. Individually;

These ingredients, often used as thickening agents, ensure that the filling is workable (when raw), they act to retain the meat juices when the product is baked and ensure that the meat texture achieved in the baked product is consistent.

Glaze < 1 %,

 

Breadcrumbs or Rusk < 2 %

 

Starch < 5 %

The maximum amounts of these optional ingredients are also stated.

No other ingredients, aside from those listed above and their constituent ingredients, may be used in the manufacture of Melton Mowbray Pork Pies.

This is to clarify that only the ingredients above may be used and no others.

The pastry ingredients are mixed together and formed into billets and lids prior to pie manufacture.

Deletion of the words ‘then rested’ as there is no clear definition of what this means and as this step in the production process is not a factor in distinguishing a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie from other pork pies.

The pork meat is diced or minced and mixed with the other filling ingredients to form the pie filling.

This clarifies which ingredients goes into the filling

The pies are glazed (if required) and then baked to a golden brown pastry colour, allowed to cool and jellied.

This clarifies when glazing, which is optional, takes place during the production of the pies.

This amendment application is submitted to clarify the role of thickening agents and other ingredients used in the manufacture of Melton Mowbray Pork Pies. Producers have used the ingredients added for many years. The importance of their inclusion in Section 4.5 was overlooked at the time when the word ‘only’ was added in front of the ingredients list when the original application was forwarded to Brussels. It is specifically noted that these additions do not alter the stated minimum meat content (30 % in the final product), and that the words ‘filling ingredients’ in the original method of production refer to the ingredients now listed in the amendment application.

The pies may be placed into a chill cabinet to await purchase. Some pies are sold warm within 4 hours of jellying.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

Each member of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association will receive their own Certification number provided by the inspection body to display on packaging and any other point of sale material when selling Melton Mowbray Pork Pies. This unique number will trace each pie sold directly back to the producer. In the case of the small-scale producers, some of the products produced are only sold through their own retail outlets, whilst other larger members sell products through the major retailers.

Producers are issued a Health Mark from the Food Standards Agency and this combined with the use of a date code provides full traceability of a product from point of sale, to production batch, through to the approved supplier of each of the component ingredients.

3.8.   Specific rules concerning labelling

The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association will police the use of its own authentication stamp, granted to each of its members. The stamp may be used on packaging and point of sale material.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The town of Melton Mowbray and its surrounding region bounded as follows:

—

to the North, by the A52 from the M1 and the A1 and including the city of Nottingham,

—

to the East, by the A1 from the A52 to the A605 and including the towns of Grantham and Stamford,

—

to the West, by the M1 from the A52 to the A45,

—

to the South, by the A45 and A605 from the M1 to the A1 and including the town of Northampton.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

Extensive research by a local historian has demonstrated that during the early and middle 19th century when the pies were first being produced on a commercial basis geographical and economic barriers would have limited production of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie to the town of Melton Mowbray and its surrounding district.

The geographical area described in Section 4 is larger than the original area of production. This takes account of the fact that over time those barriers became less significant and recognises that production of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie in accordance with the method of production described in Section 3.5 has taken place for 100 years in the wider area surrounding Melton Mowbray.

From the middle of the 18th century seasonal foxhunters began to centre their hunting activities on the town of Melton Mowbray. During the autumn and winter months, pigs were slaughtered, pork pies were made. These pies were carried in the pockets of the hunt servants to be eaten as snacks as they moved the horses around the villages at the convenience of the wealthy foxhunter. These delicious simple peasant pies soon came to the notice of the hard riding fox hunter who then began to carry them in pouches and pockets to eat while involved in the chase.

These wealthy seasonal hunters took such a liking to the splendid pies that were served on their breakfast table that they expected them to be served at their London clubs. In 1831, Edward Adcock commenced exporting pork pies from Melton Mowbray to London using the daily Leeds to London stagecoach. So the commercialisation and promotion of the Melton Mowbray pork pie began.

The railway age transformed the industry. Instead of using the daily horse-drawn stagecoaches to transport pies to London and other major cities, special carriages were commissioned on the railway system. Bakehouses were built close to Melton Mowbray station and the pies were transported across the United Kingdom and even to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa within the refrigerated holds of cargo ships returning to those countries. The fame of the pie spread and from the 1870’s until the turn of the century the industry enjoyed a boom. As a result of the growing reputation of the product some of the leading manufacturers made an aborted attempt to protect the name against imitations.

The First World War killed off the export trade and marked the beginning of the decline of the industry. However, within the last 20 years there has been a revival with the industry again expanding to meet a growing demand for this versatile food stuff. Melton Mowbray pork pies made in the designated area are now on sale in many of the large supermarkets and are also being exported abroad again.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

Melton Mowbray Pork Pies have a bow walled pastry case giving them their characteristic bow shape. The pastry is golden brown in colour with a rich texture. The pork used in the filling is uncured and when baked the pork becomes grey in colour — similar to the colour of roast pork. The texture of the filling is moist and particulate. As per the EU definition of meat, the meat content of the whole product must be at least 30 %. Between the filling and the pastry wall is a layer of jelly.

In flavour, the pastry has a rich, baked taste while the filling is full of meaty flavour and seasoned in particular with pepper. The pies must be free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.

Melton Mowbray Pork Pies are clearly distinct from other pork pies in their packaging, design and marketing at point of sale. They carry a price premium compared to other pork pies on the market place of 10-15 % because they have a specific reputation that sets them apart as different and worth paying for. The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association was set up in 1998 to bring together all the producers in the designated area with the aim of ensuring the protection of the authentic Melton Mowbray Pork Pie and of raising awareness about the origin of the product.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

From the 16th century onwards considerable land enclosure took place around the town of Melton Mowbray. These land clearances removed the open fields from the landscape and the enclosed hedge fields so indicative of East Midland farmland were developed. As a result the principal farming activity changed from raising sheep on the open fields to controlled cattle husbandry. The surplus milk from the cows was converted to cheese particularly Blue Stilton. A by-product of cheese production is whey. Whey when mixed with bran is an excellent pig food. Dairy farmers built pigsties and raised the farm animals to eat the surplus that accrued because of their cheese production activities.

In more recent times, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies have attracted attention from various areas. The international travel guide book ‘Lonely Planet’ makes reference to the town of Melton Mowbray by describing it as the town ‘which gave the world the best pork pies under the sun’. The product’s renewed popularity was demonstrated in 1996 when the Duke of Gloucester attracted some publicity during a visit to a producers shop and was captured in a newspaper article sampling Melton Mowbray pork pies. The BBC also ran a feature on Melton Mowbray pork pies as part of their popular prime time ‘Food and Drink’ television programme.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 586/2013

of 20 June 2013

amending Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as regards the date of submission of the annual report

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(d) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) contains rules relating to imports of organic products from third countries, and in particular a list of recognised third countries and a list of recognised control bodies and control authorities for the purpose of equivalence.

(2)

In light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system, it is necessary to amend the content of the list of control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 in order to ensure that information on operators under the control of those control bodies and control authorities is updated.

(3)

In the light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system and in view of point 5.1.4 of the Commission Communication entitled EU best practice guidelines for voluntary certification schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (3), which recommends that scheme specifications, including a public summary, be made freely available, for example on a website, and in view of the fact that several control bodies and control authorities listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 publish their organic standard on their websites, it is appropriate to require control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 to publish the production standard and control measures for which they have been recognised on their website and to include the internet website where that information can be found in the content of the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities.

(4)

In order to spread the workload relating to the supervision of recognised third countries and of recognised control bodies and control authorities, it is appropriate to set a deadline for the submission of the annual report of recognised control bodies and control authorities which is different from that for the submission of the annual report of recognised third countries. As a consequence, the date for the submission of complete requests for inclusion in the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities should be advanced by a month as well.

(5)

Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 contains a list of third countries whose system of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. In the light of new information received by the Commission from third countries since the last amendment of that Annex, certain changes should be made in the list.

(6)

The authorities of Japan and of the United States have asked the Commission to include new control and certification bodies and have provided the Commission with the necessary guarantees that they meet the conditions referred to Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.

(7)

The duration of inclusion of Japan in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 ends on 30 June 2013. Given that Japan continues to satisfy the conditions laid down in Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and in the light of monitoring experience, the inclusion should be prolonged for an unlimited period.

(8)

The duration of inclusion of Tunisia in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 ends on 30 June 2013. In the light of the monitoring experience, the inclusion should be prolonged until 30 June 2014.

(9)

The recognition of Switzerland pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 currently applies to unprocessed agricultural products and processed agricultural products for use as food and feed. The Swiss authorities have submitted a request to the Commission to recognise the equivalence also for organic wine. The examination of the information submitted with that request and subsequent clarifications provided by the Swiss authorities have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and controls of organic wine are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 of 5 September 2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control (4). Consequently, the equivalence recognition of Switzerland as regards processed products for use as food should also apply to organic wine.

(10)

The recognition of the United States pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 applies to unprocessed agricultural products and processed agricultural products for use as food and feed or to products that have been imported into the United States. There is a need to clarify that to be recognised as equivalent, the organic products imported into the United States must have undergone processing or packaging in the United States in accordance with US legislation.

(11)

Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence. In the light of new information received by the Commission from control bodies and control authorities listed in that Annex, certain changes should be made in the list.

(12)

The Commission has examined requests for inclusion in the list set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, received by 31 October 2012. Control bodies and control authorities in respect of which the subsequent examination of all information received led to the conclusion that they complied with the relevant requirements should be included in that list.

(13)

Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(14)

In order to ensure a smooth transition and to give control bodies and control authorities enough time for the implementation of the amended provisions relating to them, a later date of application should be set for the amendments relating to internet websites, annual reports and the procedure for requesting inclusion in the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities.

(15)

Due to technical problems linked to the first use of the specific electronic transmission system provided by the Commission, the date for the submission of the annual report to be submitted by control bodies and control authorities listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, currently fixed at 31 March every year, should in 2013 be postponed to 30 April. That derogation should apply retroactively as from 31 March 2013.

(16)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,

COMMISSION DECISION

of 19 June 2013

amending Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the processing of non-compliant raw milk in certain milk processing establishments in Bulgaria

(notified under document C(2013) 3740)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/302/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. Those rules include hygiene requirements for raw milk and dairy products.

(2)

Commission Decision 2009/861/EC (2) provides for certain derogations from the requirements set out in subchapters II and III of Chapter I of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 for the milk processing establishments in Bulgaria listed in that Decision. That Decision is to apply from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013.

(3)

According to Decision 2009/861/EC, certain milk-processing establishments listed in Annex II to that Decision may process non-compliant milk without separate production lines.

(4)

Bulgaria sent the Commission a revised and updated list of those milk processing establishments on 13 December 2012.

(5)

In that revised and updated list, certain establishments currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC have been deleted as they are now authorised to place dairy products on the intra-Union market, since they are considered to comply with the requirements set out in Chapter I of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. Those establishments were listed in the table in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC at No 6 (1112004 ‘Matev-Mlekoprodukt’ OOD), No 16 (2712010 ‘Kamadzhiev-milk’ EOOD), No 37 (1212022 ‘Milkkomm’ EOOD), No 56 (BG 2612042 ‘Bulmilk’ OOD), No 61 (1712013 ET ‘Deniz’), No 70 (BG 1812003 ‘Sirma Prista’ AD) and No 78 (1812005 ‘DAV- Viktor Simonov’ EOOD).

(6)

Decision 2009/861/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
