COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1412/2013

of 17 December 2013

opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Union tariff quotas for imports of certain fishery products into the Canary Islands from 2014 to 2020

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)

The exceptional geographical situation of the Canary Islands in relation to the sources of supply of certain fishery products which are essential for domestic consumption entails additional costs for that sector. That natural handicap, recognised by Article 349 of the Treaty, resulting from the Canary Islands’ insularity, remoteness and outermost location can be remedied, inter alia, by temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of the products in question from third countries within autonomous Union tariff quotas of an appropriate volume.

(2)	Council Regulation (EC) No 645/2008 (1) opened and provided for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas on imports of certain fishery products into the Canary Islands for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2013.

(3)	In July 2010 and June 2012, the Spanish authorities submitted reports on the implementation of the measures referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 645/2008. The Commission has examined the impact of those measures on the basis of those reports.

(4)

The reports submitted by the Spanish authorities included information on the utilisation rate of the tariff quotas for the period from 2007 to 2011. That information showed that, on average, over that period, the tariff quota with order number 09.2997 was almost fully utilised, and that the tariff quota with order number 09.2651 was not exhausted.

(5)	Since the tariff quota with order number 09.2997 was almost fully utilised, and the non-exhaustion of the tariff quota with order number 09.2651 could be linked to temporary and exogenous factors, it is appropriate to set the volume of the tariff quotas at the same level.

(6)	The sharp decline in local demand for products covered by the tariff quota with order number 09.2651, due to the difficult economic conditions in the Canary Islands following the economic and financial crises, may explain the under-utilisation of that tariff quota.

(7)	In September 2012, Spain requested the extension of Union tariff quotas for imports of certain fishery products into the Canary Islands, in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty.

(8)

Tariff quotas similar to those opened pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 645/2008 for certain fishery products are justified as they would cover the needs of the Canary Islands' domestic market, while ensuring that flows of reduced-duty imports into the Union remain predictable and clearly identifiable.

(9)

Therefore, with the aim of giving a long-term perspective to economic operators to reach a level of activity which stabilises the economic and social environment of the Canary Islands, it is appropriate to extend, for an additional period, the autonomous tariff quota regime of the Common Customs Tariff duties for the goods listed in the Annex to this Regulation.

(10)	In order to avoid undermining the integrity and the coherence of the internal market, measures should be taken to ensure that fishery products for which suspension is granted are intended solely for the Canary Islands’ domestic market.

(11)	Measures should be taken to ensure that the Commission is kept regularly informed of the volume of imports in question so that, if necessary, it can take steps to prevent any speculative movement or deflection of trade.

(12)

In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission allowing the Commission to temporarily withdraw the suspension in the case of a deflection of trade. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). The final decision on whether the suspension should be maintained or withdrawn definitely should, however, be made by the Council in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty within the time period for which suspension is temporarily withdrawn pursuant to the Commission decision to temporarily withdraw the suspension.

(13)	The provisions to be adopted should ensure continuity with the measures set out in Regulation (EC) No 645/2008. Therefore, it is appropriate to apply the measures provided for in this Regulation from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. From 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, the Common Customs Tariff duties applicable to imports into the Canary Islands of the fishery products listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall be suspended in full for the quantities indicated in that Annex.

2. The suspension referred to in paragraph 1 shall be granted exclusively for products intended for the Canary Islands' domestic market. It shall only apply to fishery products which are unloaded from ship or aircraft before the customs declaration for release into free circulation is submitted to the customs authorities in the Canary Islands.

Article 2

The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3).

Article 3

By 30 June 2019, the Commission shall examine the impact of the measures provided for in Article 1 and, on the basis of its findings, submit any relevant proposals for the period after 31 December 2020.

Article 4

1. Where the Commission has reasons to believe that the suspensions laid down pursuant to this Regulation have led to a deflection of trade for a specific product, it may adopt implementing acts, temporarily withdrawing the suspension for a period not exceeding 12 months. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 5(2).

The payment of the import duties imposed upon products for which the suspension has been temporarily withdrawn shall be secured by a guarantee, and the release of the products concerned for free circulation on the Canary Islands' domestic market shall be conditional upon the provision of such guarantee.

2. Within the maximum 12-month period referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Council, in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty, shall adopt a final decision on whether to maintain or definitively withdraw the suspension. If the suspension is definitively withdrawn, the amounts of duties secured by guarantees shall be collected definitively.

3. If no definitive decision has been adopted within the maximum 12-month period in accordance with paragraph 2, the securing guarantees shall be released.

Article 5

1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee, established by Article 247a(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (4). That Committee shall be a committee within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.

2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.

Article 6

The Commission and the customs authorities of the Member States shall cooperate closely to ensure the proper management and control of the application of this Regulation.

Article 7

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2020.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2013/64/EU

of 17 December 2013

amending Council Directives 91/271/EEC and 1999/74/EC, and Directives 2000/60/EC, 2006/7/EC, 2006/25/EC and 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, following the amendment of the status of Mayotte with regard to the European Union

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the opinion of European Economic and Social Committee (2),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)

By European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (3), the European Council decided to amend the status of Mayotte with regard to the Union with effect from 1 January 2014. From that date, Mayotte will cease to be an overseas country or territory and will become an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 and Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) (hereinafter ‘Mayotte’). Following this amendment of the legal status of Mayotte, Union law will apply to Mayotte from 1 January 2014. Taking account of the particular structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, certain specific measures should be provided for in a number of areas.

(2)

It is appropriate to take account of the particular situation in Mayotte as regards the state of the environment, which needs to be considerably improved for it to comply with environmental objectives laid down by Union law, and for which additional time is needed. Specific measures in order to gradually improve the environment should be adopted within specific time-limits.

(3)

In order to comply with the requirements of Council Directive 91/271/EEC (4), measures need to be taken in Mayotte to ensure that agglomerations are provided with collecting systems for urban waste water. Such measures call for infrastructure works that should follow appropriate administrative and planning procedures and, furthermore, require the establishment of systems for measuring and monitoring urban waste water discharges. Due to the specific structural and economic situation of Mayotte, a sufficient period of time should be granted to France to allow those requirements to be met.

(4)

In the field of agriculture, as regards Council Directive 1999/74/EC (5), it is noted that, in Mayotte, laying hens are reared in unenriched cages. In view of the considerable investment and preparatory work required to replace unenriched cages by enriched cages or alternative systems, it is necessary to postpone the prohibition of using unenriched cages for a period of up to 48 months from 1 January 2014. In order to prevent distortions of competition, eggs derived from establishments using unenriched cages should be marketed only on the local market of Mayotte. In order to facilitate the necessary controls, eggs produced in unenriched cages should bear a special mark.

(5)

In respect of Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the proper implementation of that Directive as regards river basin management plans requires that France adopts and implements management plans containing technical and administrative measures to achieve good water status for, and to prevent the deterioration of, all bodies of surface waters. Due to the specific structural and economic situation of the new outermost region of Mayotte, a sufficient period of time should be granted for the adoption and implementation of such measures.

(6)

In respect of Directive 2006/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), the current state of surface waters in Mayotte needs to be considerably improved for them to comply with the requirements of that Directive. The quality of bathing waters depends directly upon urban waste water treatment, and the provisions of Directive 2006/7/EC may only be complied with progressively once agglomerations that affect the quality of urban waste waters comply with the requirements of Directive 91/271/EEC. Therefore, specific time-limits need to be adopted in order to allow France to meet the Union standards as regards bathing water quality in Mayotte as a new outermost region and due to its special social and economic situation.

(7)

In the area of social policy, account should be taken of the difficulties to comply with Directive 2006/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) in Mayotte as of 1 January 2014. Due to its prevailing special social and economic situation, there are no technical facilities available in Mayotte for the implementation of measures necessary to comply with that Directive in the field of artificial optical radiation. Therefore, it is appropriate to grant a derogation to France from certain provisions of that Directive until 31 December 2017, provided that such facilities are not available in Mayotte and without prejudice to the general principles of protection and prevention in the area of health and safety of workers.

(8)

In order to guarantee a high level of protection of the health and safety of workers at work, consultation with the social partners should be ensured, the risks resulting from the derogation should be reduced to a minimum and the workers concerned should benefit from reinforced health surveillance. It is important to reduce the duration of the derogation as much as possible. Therefore, the national derogating measures should be reviewed every year and should be withdrawn as soon as the circumstances justifying them no longer subsist.

(9)

In respect of Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (9), its transposition requires a number of adaptations to ensure continuity of care and information to patients. It is therefore appropriate to grant France an additional period of 30 months from 1 January 2014 to bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with that Directive in respect of Mayotte.

(10)	Directives 91/271/EEC, 1999/74/EC, 2000/60/EC, 2006/7/EC, 2006/25/EC and 2011/24/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

NB:

Economic parity or purchasing power parity (PPP) is: Number of monetary units required to buy the same product compared with Brussels(per euro). The figure provided in the first column (PPP) is the product of multiplying the exchange rate (TX) by the weighting (CC). The mathematical formula used to calculate the CC is therefore: PPP (provided by Eurostat) divided by TX = CC. The amounts due to staff are calculated by applying the invariable PPP established by this table — not by multiplying each time the CC by the TX of the date of the transaction, since this TX is variable and will produce a different (wrong) PPP.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1417/2013

of 17 December 2013

laying down the form of the laissez-passer issued by the European Union

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to Protocol No 7 on the privileges and immunities of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	The first paragraph of Article 6 of Protocol No 7 on the privileges and immunities of the European Union (‘Protocol’) provides that the Council prescribes the form of the laissez-passer which are to be recognised as valid travel documents by the authorities of the Member States.

(2)	It is recalled that the first paragraph of Article 6 of the Protocol applies to members of the institutions of the Union and servants of the Union, who are subject either to the Staff Regulations of Officials or the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union (1).

(3)	Article 23 of the Staff Regulations of Officials, as well as Articles 11 and 81 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union, lay down the conditions under which the laissez-passer is issued to servants of the Union.

(4)	In the interest of the Union and in order to comply with the duty of care, the benefit of the laissez-passer may be extended, on exceptional basis and upon due motivation, to special applicants.

(5)	In any event, a laissez-passer does not grant privileges and immunities to its holder.

(6)

The laissez-passer is to be recognised as a valid travel document by the authorities of the Member States. The Commission should make use of the possibility provided for under the second paragraph of Article 6 of the Protocol to conclude necessary agreements with third countries with a view to recognising laissez-passer as valid travel documents for border crossing and within the territory of third countries.

(7)	Developments at Union level, in particular the establishment of the European External Action Service, have further enhanced the need for a coherent approach at the international and Union levels.

(8)

The form of the laissez-passer should be upgraded to achieve enhanced security standards and to contribute to ensuring a proper level of protection against forgery, counterfeiting and falsification. Common security standards and interoperable biometric identifiers should be integrated into the laissez-passer in order to establish a reliable link between the rightful holder and the document, making an important contribution to ensuring protection against its fraudulent use.

(9)

In particular, the form of the laissez-passer should comply with the security standards and technical specifications applicable to the national travel documents issued by Member States pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2252/2004 (2). This allows for compliance with the specifications of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (‘ICAO’), in particular those appearing in ICAO Document 9303 on machine-readable travel documents, as they will contribute to protecting the laissez-passer against fraudulent use and to having it internationally recognised as a valid travel document. Likewise, the Union should participate in the ICAO Public Key Directory following the applicable ICAO standards and recommended practices with a view to allowing facilitated worldwide validation of laissez-passer.

(10)

In order to ensure that uniform conditions for future security standards and technical specifications for passports and travel documents issued by Member States apply equally, where appropriate, to Union laissez-passer, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Moreover, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to establish rules for institutions, agencies or other bodies of the Union, as well as to the European External Action Service (hereinafter referred to as the ‘institutions’), in cases of loss, theft, issuance of duplicates and returns of laissez-passer. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

(11)

The advisory procedure should be used for the adoption of implementing acts ensuring, where appropriate, compliance with future minimum security standards and technical specifications for passports and travel documents issued by Member States adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2252/2004, which may remain secret in order to prevent the risk of counterfeiting and falsifications. The advisory procedure should also be used for the adoption of implementing acts on the handling of cases of loss, theft, issuance of duplicates and returns of laissez-passer by the institutions. Under the advisory procedure the Commission should be assisted by the Committee established by Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) no 1683/95 (4).

(12)	It should be ensured that no further information is stored in the laissez-passer's electronic medium other than that pursuant to this Regulation and the Annexes thereto.

(13)

Each institution, individually or acting together on the basis of service-level agreements, responsible for the processing of the personal data of its own staff or of other agents, and the Commission acting as a central point for processing purposes, should ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

(14)

In order to ensure that personal data are not made available to more persons than necessary, it is essential that the Commission coordinate the implementation of this Regulation and designate a single entity having the responsibility for the production and personalisation of the laissez-passer. Specific consideration should be given by the Commission to ensure secure access to the personal data contained in the laissez-passer for the purposes of production and personalisation by the authorised single entity ensuring an adequate level of data protection.

(15)

Personal data should be kept in the register or by the entity only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected and to ensure that data subjects are able to access their personal data in order to exercise their rights. Personal data should be automatically deleted after a period following the closure of the proceeding. This period of time should be justified and motivated.

(16)

In order to prevent falsification and fraudulent use of the laissez-passer, the single entity designated by the Commission to produce and personalise the laissez-passer should be selected in accordance with the provisions applicable to the award of contracts, in particular those of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 966/2012 of European Parliament and Council (6), and taking due account of the sensitive nature of the documents to be produced.

(17)	In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 5(4) of the Treaty on European Union.

(18)	This Regulation should replace Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69 of the Council (7). Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69 should therefore be repealed with effect from 25 November 2015 following a transitional period.

(19)

It is necessary to provide for a transitional period from the entry into force of this Regulation until 24 November 2015, when it will still be possible to issue and use laissez-passer pursuant to Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69. However, this transitional possibility should be applied in such a way that, from the moment when laissez-passer start being issued pursuant to this Regulation, no more laissez-passer are issued pursuant to Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69, and such laissez-passer still in circulation are systematically replaced until 24 November 2015. This approach will limit as much as possible the period during which the two forms of laissez-passer circulate simultaneously,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Scope

1. The laissez-passer shall be accorded solely in the interest of the Union to members of the institutions of the Union referred to in paragraph 2 and its servants. It shall be issued to servants in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 23 of the Staff Regulations of Officials, as well as Articles 11 and 81 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union. The laissez-passer may be issued, solely in the interest of the Union in exceptional cases and upon due motivation, to special applicants pursuant to Annex II.

Article 2

Process

1. For the purposes of this Regulation, each institution may conclude agreements with other institutions with a view to creating synergies and alleviating the costs. These institutions shall be responsible for the processing of personal data of staff or special applicants referred to in Article 1(1). Such data shall include the biographical and biometric data used to identify unambiguously the laissez-passer applicant, including the facial image and two digital finger prints as biometric features.

2. For the purposes of this Regulation, the Commission shall act as a central point with a view to transmitting the personal data processed by institutions to the entity referred to in paragraph 3.

3. The Commission shall designate an entity to be responsible for designing, producing and personalising the laissez-passer, taking into account the sensitive nature of the documents to be produced. It shall do so in accordance with the provisions applicable to the award of contracts, in particular those in Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 966/2012. Any transfer of personal data during the process shall be done in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.

4. Each laissez-passer shall remain the property of the Union.

Article 3

Linguistic regime

The laissez-passer shall be issued in all official languages of the institutions of the Union as indicated in Annex I. The presentation of biographical data shall take into account ICAO recommendations.

establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for imaging equipment

(notified under document C(2013) 9097)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/806/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 products which have 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)

The criteria aim, in particular, at promoting products that have a reduced environmental impact along their life cycle, which are resource efficient including energy efficient, and which contain a limited amount of hazardous substances. Since the main environmental impacts of imaging equipment along the life cycle are related to the use of paper, energy consumption and the use of hazardous substances, the products with improved performance on these aspects should be promoted. It is therefore appropriate to establish EU Ecolabel criteria for the product group ‘imaging equipment’.

(4)

The EU Ecolabel criteria will complement the ecodesign requirements for imaging equipment to be placed on the EU market that are laid down in a self-regulation measure concluded by the industry under Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (2). The self-regulation measure was recognised by the European Commission in the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the voluntary ecodesign scheme for imaging equipment (3).

(5)	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 ‘imaging equipment’ shall comprise products which are marketed for office or domestic use, or both, and produce printed images, in the form of paper document or photo, through a marking process from one or both of the following:

(a)	a digital image, provided by a network or card interface;

(b)	a hardcopy through a copying process.

Imaging equipment which have the additional function to produce a digital image from a hard copy through a scanning process are included in the scope of this Decision. This Decision shall apply to products which are marketed as printers, copiers and multifunctional devices.

2. Fax machines, digital duplicators, mailing machines and scanners are excluded from the scope of this Decision.

3. Large products which are not typically used in household and office equipment shall also be excluded from the scope of this Decision where they meet one of the following technical specifications:

(a)	standard black and white format products with maximum speed over 66 A4 images per minute;

(b)	standard colour format products with maximum speed over 51 A4 images per minute;

(c)	designed for A2 media and larger; or

(d)	products marketed as plotters;

speed to be rounded to the nearest integer.

Article 2

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

(1)

‘printer’ means a commercially available imaging product that serves as a hard copy output device, and is capable of receiving information from single-user or networked computers, or other input devices, where the unit is capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection;

(2)	‘copier’ means a commercially available imaging product whose sole function is the production of hard copy duplicates from graphic hard copy originals, where the unit is capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection;

(3)

‘multifunction device’ means a commercially available imaging product which is a physically integrated device or a combination of functionally integrated components that performs two or more of the core functions of copying, printing, scanning, or faxing, where the unit is capable of being powered from a wall outlet or from a data or network connection and the copy functionality is distinct from single sheet convenience copying offered by fax machines;

(4)	‘packaging’ means all products made of any materials of any nature used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, from the producer to the user;

(5)

‘recycling’ means any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials or substances whether for the original or other purposes, including the reprocessing of organic material but not energy recovery and reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or for backfilling operations;

(6)	‘reuse’ means any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same purpose for which they were conceived;

(7)	‘reused content (of a product)’ means the content of a product which has undergone a reuse operation;

(8)	‘cartridge anti-reutilisation devices’ means devices fitted on the cartridge and or software/hardware that is necessary for the cartridge functioning that result in hampering the direct cartridge reuse;

(9)	‘spare part’ means an interchangeable part that is kept in an inventory and used for the repair or replacement of failed parts;

(10)	‘consumables’ means articles other than electricity which are also marketed separately from the main imaging equipment and that are necessary for the product operation;

(11)	‘networked equipment’ means equipment that can connect to a network and has one or more network ports;

(12)	‘network port’ means a wired or wireless physical interface of the network connection located at the equipment through which the equipment is able to be remotely activated;

SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES IN IMAGING EQUIPMENT

Criterion 7. Excluded or limited substances and mixtures

(a) Hazardous substances and mixtures

According to Article 6(6) of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 the EU Ecolabel may not be awarded to any product or any article of it as defined in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) or homogenous part of it that contains substances meeting criteria for classification with the hazard statements or risk phrases as specified in Table 2 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) or Council Directive 67/548/EC (5), or substances referred to in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In case the threshold for classification of a substance or mixture with a hazard class differs from the one of a risk phrase than the former prevails. The risk phrases in Table 2 generally refer to substances. However, if information on substances cannot be obtained, the classification rules for mixtures apply. Substances or mixtures which change their properties through processing and thus become no longer bioavailable, or undergo chemical modification in a way that removes the previously identified hazard are exempted from criterion 7(a).

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 17 December 2013

confirming or amending the average specific emissions of CO2 and specific emissions targets for manufacturers of new light commercial vehicles for the calendar year 2012 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(notified under document C(2013) 9184)

(Only the Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish texts are authentic)

(2013/807/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular Article 8(6) and Article 10(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The Commission is required, pursuant to Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, to confirm or amend each year the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions target for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles in the Union. On that basis, the Commission is to determine whether manufacturers and pools of manufacturers formed in accordance with Article 7(1) of that Regulation have complied with their specific emissions targets in accordance with Article 4 of that Regulation.

(2)

For the calendar years 2012 and 2013, the specific emissions targets are not binding and the Commission should therefore calculate indicative targets. As those indicative targets will serve as indicators to manufacturers of the effort required to reach the mandatory target in 2014, it is appropriate to determine the average specific emissions of CO2 of manufacturers for 2012 and 2013 in accordance with the requirements set out in the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and take into account 70 % of the manufacturer’s new light commercial vehicles registered in that year.

(3)	The detailed data to be used for the calculation of the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions targets are set out in point 1 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and are based on Member States’ registrations of new light commercial vehicles.

(4)

Where light commercial vehicles are type-approved in a multi-stage process, point 7 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 requires that the manufacturer of the base vehicle take responsibility for the CO2 emissions of the completed vehicle. Pending the applicability of the procedure for determining CO2 emissions from this category of vehicles as provided for in Section 5 of Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (2), the Commission should calculate the specific emissions target for manufacturers of base vehicles using the mass in running order of the completed vehicle as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and should use the specific emissions of CO2 of the base vehicle in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 4 of that Regulation.

(5)

The complete datasets for all Member States were made available to the Commission by the end of March 2013. Where, as a result of the verification of the data by the Commission, it was evident that certain data were missing or manifestly incorrect, the Commission contacted the Member States concerned and, subject to the agreement of those Member States, adjusted or completed the data accordingly. Where no agreement could be reached with a Member State, the provisional data of that Member State were not adjusted.

(6)

It should be noted that several Member States have not been able to distinguish between complete and completed light commercial vehicles in their current monitoring systems. As a consequence, the 2012 data for light commercial vehicles should be considered incomplete with regard to the monitoring of vehicles type-approved in a multi-stage process. In order to ensure a full and accurate monitoring of the CO2 emissions and the technical data relating in particular to multi-stage vehicles, it is necessary to adjust the monitoring systems both at Union and Member State level. Therefore, the final values as confirmed in this Decision should not be considered fully representative of the CO2 emissions performance of the new vehicle fleet in 2012.

(7)

On 18 June 2013, the Commission published the provisional data on light commercial vehicles and notified 60 manufacturers of the provisional calculations of their average specific emissions of CO2 in 2012 and their specific emissions targets in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Manufacturers were asked to verify the data and to notify the Commission of any errors within three months of receipt of the notification in accordance with the Article 8(5) of that Regulation. Four manufacturers notified the Commission that they accepted the preliminary data without corrections whilst 24 manufacturers submitted notifications of errors.

(8)	For the 36 manufacturers that did not notify any errors in the datasets, the provisional data and provisional calculations of the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions targets should be confirmed without adjustments.

(9)	The Commission has verified the corrections notified by the manufacturers and the respective justifications and the datasets have been adjusted as appropriate.

(10)

In the case of records with missing or incorrect identification parameters, such as type, variant, version code or type-approval number, the fact that manufacturers cannot verify or correct those records should be taken into account. As a consequence, it is appropriate to apply an error margin to the CO2 emissions and mass values in those records.

(11)

The error margin should be calculated as the difference between the distances to the specific emissions target expressed as the specific emissions targets subtracted from the average emissions calculated including and excluding those registrations that cannot be verified by the manufacturers. Regardless of whether that difference is positive or negative, the error margin should always improve the distance to the target of the manufacturer.

(12)	The average specific emissions of CO2 from new light commercial vehicles registered in 2012, the specific emissions targets and the difference between those two values should be confirmed or amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The values relating to the performance of manufacturers, as confirmed or amended for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles and for each pool of manufacturers of light commercial vehicles in respect of the 2012 calendar year in accordance with Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, are specified in the Annex to this Decision.

The values referred to in points (a) to (e) of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles and for each pool of manufacturers of light commercial vehicles in respect of the 2012 calendar year are also specified in the Annex to this Decision.

Explanatory notes to Tables 1 and 2

Column A:

Table 1: ‘Manufacturer name’ means the name of the manufacturer as notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned or, where no such notification has taken place, the name registered by the registration authority of the Member State.

Table 2: ‘Pool name’ means the name of the pool declared by the pool manager.

Column B:

‘P’ means that the manufacturer is a member of a pool (listed in Table 2) formed in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and the pooling agreement is valid for the calendar year 2012.

Column C:

‘Number of registrations’ means the total number of new cars registered by Member States in a calendar year, not counting those registrations that relate to records where the values for mass or CO2 are missing and those records which the manufacturer does not recognise. The number of registrations reported by Member States may otherwise not be changed.

Column D:

‘Average CO2 (70 %) corrected’ means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of the 70 % lowest emitting vehicles in the manufacturer’s fleet in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions of CO2 have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records used for the calculation include those that contain a valid value for mass and CO2 emissions.

Column E:

‘Specific emissions target’ means the emissions target calculated on the basis of the average mass of all vehicles attributed to a manufacturer applying the formula set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.

Column F:

‘Distance to target’ means the difference between the average specific emissions of CO2 specified in column D and the specific emissions target in column E. Where the value in column F is positive, the average specific emissions of CO2 exceed the specific emissions target.

Column G:

‘Distance to target adjusted’ means that where the values in this column are different from those in column F, the values in that column have been adjusted to take into account an error margin. The error margin is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Error	=	absolute value of [(AC1 – TG1) – (AC2 – TG2)]
AC1	=	the average specific emissions of CO2 including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column D);
TG1	=	the specific emissions target including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column E);
AC2	=	the average specific emissions of CO2 excluding the unidentifiable vehicles;
TG2	=	the specific emissions target excluding the unidentifiable vehicles.

Column I:

‘Average CO2 (100 %)’ means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of 100 % of the vehicles attributed to the manufacturer. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions of CO2 have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records used for the calculation include those that contain a valid value for mass and CO2 emissions but do not take into account the super-credits referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 18 December 2013

determining quantitative limits and allocating quotas for substances controlled under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer, for the period 1 January to 31 December 2014

(notified under document C(2013) 9205)

(Only the Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish texts are authentic)

(2013/808/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular to Articles 10(2) and 16(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	The release for free circulation in the Union of imported controlled substances is subject to quantitative limits.

(2)	The Commission is required to determine those limits and allocate quotas to undertakings.

(3)	Furthermore, the Commission is required to determine the quantities of controlled substances other than hydrochlorofluorocarbons that may be used for essential laboratory and analytical uses, and the companies that may use them.

(4)

The determination of the allocated quotas for essential laboratory and analytical uses has to ensure that the quantitative limits set out in Article 10(6) are respected, applying Commission Regulation (EU) No 537/2011 (2). As those quantitative limits include quantities of hydrochlorofluorocarbons licensed for laboratory and analytical uses, the production and import of hydrochlorofluorocarbons for those uses should also be covered by that allocation.

(5)

The Commission has published notice to undertakings intending to import or export controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer to or from the European Union in 2014 and to undertakings intending to produce or import these substances for essential laboratory and analytical uses in 2014 (3), and has thereby received declarations on intended imports in 2014.

(6)	The quantitative limits and quotas should be determined for the period 1 January to 31 December 2014, in line with the annual reporting cycle under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Quantitative limits for release for free circulation
