COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 76/2014
of 28 January 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 as regards the data to be submitted under the computerised procedure for the movement of excise goods under suspension of excise duty
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC (1), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In order to improve the correlation between information concerning the movement of excise goods held by excise authorities and the information on excise goods that have been imported held by the authorities responsible for importation formalities, where excise goods are moved under a duty suspension arrangement from the place of importation, the consignor is to indicate the code of the customs office responsible for the completion of importation formalities relating to the excise goods to be moved under duty suspension. |
(2) |
In order to prevent abuse of the facility for the delivery of excise goods to premises not listed in the register referred to in Article 19 of Council Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 (2), when indicating the place of delivery in the draft electronic administrative document and the draft change of destination message and draft splitting operation message, the consignor should only be permitted to enter addresses that differ from those entered in that register where the registered consignee has a direct delivery authorisation or where there is more than one place of delivery known to the Member State responsible for the authorisation of the registered consignee. |
(3) |
In order for the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch to be able to carry out their responsibilities under Article 21(5) of Directive 2008/118/EC where excise goods are moved under a duty suspension arrangement with the intention to leave the territory of the Union the consignor should indicate the code of the office of export in the draft electronic administrative document. |
(4) |
The list of transport mode codes in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 (3) includes a code for modes of transport other than those specifically mentioned in that list. In order to fully identify the mode of transport used where that code is used, it is necessary to add a textual description of the transport mode in question. |
(5) |
In accordance with Article 22 of Directive 2008/118/EC the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch may authorise the consignor to omit the data concerning the consignee if the destination is unknown at the time of the submission of the draft electronic administrative document. Therefore the requirement laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 to identify the new consignee of the movement should not apply where the destination is not known at the time of splitting operation. |
(6) |
Article 18(4)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC allows the Member State of dispatch to waive the obligation to provide a movement guarantee for energy products moving under a duty suspension arrangement by sea or by fixed pipeline where the other Member States concerned so agree. A guarantor type code indicating that no guarantee is provided should therefore be included. |
(7) |
The structure of the Excise Product Code in the ‘e-AD Body’ data group in Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 and the structure of the same data item in Table 6 of that Annex differ. The structure laid down in Table 6 is correct and the structure of the former data item should therefore be adapted to match the structure of the data item in Table 6. |
(8) |
The structure of the Sequence Number in the ‘Excise Movement e-AD’ data group in Table 6 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 no longer corresponds to the agreed structure in the common system specifications. The data item should therefore be adapted to match the structure in the common system specifications. |
(9) |
Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(10) |
In order to align the application date of this Regulation with the agreed application date for a new Phase of the computerised system established by Decision No 1152/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and to allow the Commission and the Member States adequate time to make arrangements to be able to fulfil the new documentation obligations resulting from this Regulation, it should apply from 13 February 2014. |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Excise Duty, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 684/2009 is amended as follows:
(1) |
Annex I is amended as set out in Annex I to this Regulation. |
(2) |
Annex II is amended as set out in Annex II to this Regulation. |
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 apply from 13 February 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION 2014/40/CFSP
of 28 January 2014
implementing Decision 2011/423/CFSP of 18 July 2011 concerning restrictive measures against Sudan and South Sudan
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2011/423/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Sudan and South Sudan (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
On 18 July 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/423/CFSP which implemented United Nations Security Council Resolution 1591 (2005) (the ‘UNSCR 1591 (2005)’) setting out a list of individuals subject to a travel ban and asset freeze. |
(2) |
On 11 March and 4 September 2013, the Sanctions Committee, established pursuant to paragraph 3 of UNSCR 1591 (2005), amended that list and added further information on the grounds for such listing. |
(3) |
The Annex to Decision 2011/423/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly, |

LIST OF PERSONS AND ENTITIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLES 1 AND 3
1. |
Surname, first name(s): ELHASSAN, Gaffar Mohammed (alias Gaffar Mohmed ELHASSAN) Date of birth: 24 June 1952. Address: Resides in El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan. Identification no : Ex-serviceman’s identification card no: 4302. Other information: (a) Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). (b) Retired from the Sudanese Army. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Additional information from the narrative summary of grounds for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: The Panel of Experts report that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed ELHASSAN stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. ELHASSAN held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approx.) – early 2006. The Panel’s information is that ELHASSAN was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of SCR 1591 as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum) and authorized (since 29 March 2005) the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. ELHASSAN himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that ELHASSAN was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that ELHASSAN indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed ELHASSAN has breached relevant provisions of SCR 1591 and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions. |
2. |
Surname, first name(s): HILAL, (Sheikh) Musa. Other information: (a) Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur. (b) Member of the National Assembly of Sudan. (c) In 2008, appointed by the President of Sudan as special adviser to the Ministry of Federal Affairs. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Additional information from the narrative summary of grounds for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 February 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering “security units in the locality” to “allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa HILAL to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs”. On 28 September 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa HILAL was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities. |
3. |
Surname, first name(s): SHARIF, Adam Yacub (alias (a) Adam Yacub Shant, (b) Adam Yacoub) Date of birth: Circa 1976. Other information: (a) Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) Commander. (b) Reportedly deceased on 7 June 2012. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Additional information from the narrative summary of grounds for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: SLA soldiers under the command of Adam Yacub Shant violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking a Government of Sudan military contingent that was escorting a convoy of trucks near Abu Hamra, Northern Darfur on July 23, 2005, killing three soldiers. After the attack Government military weapons and ammunition were looted. The Panel of Experts has information establishing that the attack by SLA soldiers took place and was clearly organized; consequently it was well planned. It is therefore reasonable to assume, as the Panel concluded, that Shant, as the confirmed SLA Commander in the area, must have had knowledge of and approved/or ordered the attack. He therefore bears direct responsibility for the attack and meets the criteria for being listed. |
4. |
Surname, first name(s): BAREY Gabril Abdul Kareem (alias (a) General Gibril Abdul Kareem BAREY, (b) “Tek”). Address: Resides in Tine, on the Sudanese side of the border with Chad. Other information: National Movement for Reform and Development (NMRD) Field Commander. Date of UN designation: 25 April 2006 Additional information from the narrative summary of grounds for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee: BAREY is responsible for the kidnapping of African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) personnel in Darfur during October 2005. BAREY openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in November 2005. Through such actions BAREY has clearly violated SCR 1591 in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.’ |

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 26(2),
Whereas:
(1) |
On 29 May 2012, the Council adopted Decision 2012/281/CFSP in the framework of the European Security Strategy in support of the Union proposal for an international Code of Conduct on outer-space activities (1). |
(2) |
Decision 2012/281/CFSP provides for the organisation of up to three multilateral experts’ meetings to discuss the proposal for an international Code of Conduct. |
(3) |
Multilateral experts’ meetings were held in Vienna in June 2012, in Kiev in May 2013 and in Bangkok in November 2013. |
(4) |
After the successful multilateral experts’ meeting held in Bangkok, it became apparent that the international community would welcome a fourth and final multilateral experts’ meeting. Such a meeting could take place in Africa. |
(5) |
A fourth and final multilateral experts’ meeting could be organised within the initial financial reference amount indicated in Decision 2012/281/CFSP and thus without any additional resource implication. |
(6) |
Decision 2012/281/CFSP should, therefore, be amended to enable the organisation of a fourth and final multilateral experts’ meeting and its period of application should be extended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2012/281/CFSP is hereby amended as follows:
(1) |
in Article 2(1), point (b) is replaced by the following:
|
(2) |
in Article 6, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘It shall expire 28 months after the date of conclusion of the financing agreement referred to in Article 4(3) or six months after the date of adoption of this Decision if no financing agreement has been concluded within that period.’; |
(3) |
the Annex is hereby amended as follows:
|
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
Done at Brussels, 28 January 2014.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 27 January 2014
concerning certain interim protective measures relating to African swine fever in Lithuania
(notified under document C(2014) 501)
(Only the Lithuanian text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/43/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries. |
(2) |
In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products. |
(3) |
Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs. |
(4) |
Lithuania has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied. |
(5) |
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the restricted zones for African swine fever in Lithuania. |
(6) |
Accordingly, pending the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, the restricted zones in Lithuania should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed. |
(7) |
This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Lithuania shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprises at least the areas listed in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 15 February 2014.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania.
