COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 732/2014
of 3 July 2014
amending Regulations (EC) No 754/2009 and (EU) No 43/2014 as regards certain fishing opportunities
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, on the other hand (1), and the Protocol thereto (2), provide that the Union is to receive 7,7 % of the total available catch (TAC) for capelin to be fished in Greenland waters of ICES subareas V and XIV. |
|
(2) |
Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (3) fixed a Union quota of 0 tonnes for 2014 for the stock of capelin in Greenland waters of ICES subareas V and XIV, to be applied until 30 April 2014. |
|
(3) |
On 16 June 2014 the Union received information from the Greenland authorities that the TAC for capelin, which includes Greenland waters of ICES subareas V and XIV, had been predicted at 450 000 tonnes for the fishing season 2014/2015 with an initial quota of 225 000 tonnes. The relevant Union quota for that fishing season should therefore be fixed. |
|
(4) |
It is necessary to correct the TAC established for the stock of redfish in international waters of I and II and the TAC established for Greenland halibut in Greenland waters of ICES subareas V and XIV. It is also necessary to correct two TACs for mackerel, in order to include the mutual access arrangements between the Union and the Faroe Islands. Furthermore, the area where Faroese vessels may obtain fishing authorisations for mackerel fishing should be modified accordingly. |
|
(5) |
At its 8th Regular Session, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) adopted a prohibition to retain on board, tranship, store or land oceanic whitetip sharks (Carcharhinus longimanus). At its 9th Regular Session, WCPFC adopted a similar prohibition for silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis). Both prohibitions should be implemented in the law of the Union. In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (4), the stocks that are subject to the various measures referred to therein should be identified. |
|
(6) |
The United Kingdom provided information on cod catches by two groups of vessels, both targeting Norway lobster and using a regulated gear of mesh size 80-100 mm. The first group fishes in the Firth of Forth, i.e. ICES statistical sub-rectangles 41E7 and 41E6. The second group fishes in the Firth of Clyde, i.e. ICES statistical rectangles 39E5, 39E4, 40E3, 40E4 and 40E5. The latter group constitutes an enlargement of the existing exclusion in the Firth of Clyde from the cod plan fishing effort regime laid down in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 (5), in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 754/2009 (6). On the basis of the information provided by the United Kingdom, as assessed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, it can be established that the cod catches, including discards, of the vessels mentioned above did not exceed 1,5 % of the total catches of cod in each of the two groups of vessels during the 2013 management period. Moreover, having regard to the measures in place ensuring the monitoring and control of the fishing activities of those two groups of vessels and considering that the inclusion of those two groups would constitute an administrative burden disproportionate to its overall impact on cod stocks, it is appropriate to exclude both groups of vessels from the application of the fishing effort regime laid down in Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008. |
|
(7) |
The catch limits and fishing effort limits provided for in Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 apply respectively from 1 January 2014 and 1 February 2014. The provisions of this Regulation concerning catch limits and fishing effort should therefore in principle also apply from those dates. Such retroactive application is without prejudice to the principles of legal certainty and protection of legitimate expectations as the fishing opportunities concerned have not yet been exhausted. However, the prohibition to fish silky sharks in the WCPFC Convention Area becomes effective on 1 July 2014 and should apply from that date. Similarly, the TAC for capelin in Greenland waters of ICES subareas V and XIV should apply as of the start of the fishing season, i.e. as of 20 June 2014. Since the modification of some catch limits has an influence on the economic activities and the planning of the fishing season of Union vessels, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication. |
|
(8) |
Regulations (EU) No 43/2014 and (EC) No 754/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly, |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 733/2014
of 24 June 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 concerning the export for recovery of certain waste to certain non-OECD countries
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular Article 37 thereof,
After consultation of the countries concerned,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 the Commission periodically updates Commission Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 (2) concerning the export for recovery of certain waste to certain countries to which the OECD Decision on the control of transboundary movements of wastes (‘the OECD decision’ (3)) does not apply. The Commission has sent a written request to each country to which the OECD decision does not apply seeking confirmation in writing that waste and mixtures of wastes listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, the export of which is not prohibited under Article 36 of that Regulation, may be exported from the European Union for recovery in that country and requesting an indication as to which control procedure, if any, would be followed in the country of destination. The Commission has received replies from seventy-four countries. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 should be amended to take into account those replies. |
|
(2) |
On 13 February 2013, the OECD Council approved the Opinion of the Environment Policy Committee regarding the compliance by Israel with the OECD decision. Consequently, Article 37(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 does not apply to that country anymore and the entry for Israel should therefore be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007. |
|
(3) |
New Zealand is a country to which the OECD decision applies. Therefore, Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 does not apply to that country and the entry for New Zealand should be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1418/2007 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the fourteenth 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.

(2014/429/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4) in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America, on the other (1) (‘the Agreement’) was initialled on 22 March 2011 and signed on 29 June 2012. |
|
(2) |
The Agreement, pursuant to Article 353(4) thereof, has been applied provisionally since 1 August 2013 with Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama, since 1 October 2013 with El Salvador and Costa Rica, and since 1 December 2013 with Guatemala. |
|
(3) |
Pursuant to Article 353(5) of the Agreement, each Party has fulfilled the requirements established in Article 244 and Article 245(1)(a) and (b), which relate to the implementation of legislation on geographical indications and the registration and protection of the relevant geographical indications as listed in Annex XVII to the Agreement. |
|
(4) |
Article 4 of the Agreement establishes an Association Council which is to, inter alia, oversee the fulfilment of the objectives of the Agreement and supervise its implementation. |
|
(5) |
Article 245(2) of the Agreement provides that the Association Council, at its first meeting, is to adopt a Decision including in Annex XVIII (‘Protected Geographical Indications’) all names from Annex XVII (‘List of Names to be Applied for Protection as Geographical Indications in the Territory of the Parties’) which are protected as geographical indications following their successful examination by the Parties' competent national or regional authorities (the ‘Decision of the Association Council’). |
|
(6) |
The Decision of the Association Council also concerns additional geographical indications from Central America, listed in the Joint Declaration, attached to the Agreement, ‘Names that have been applied for registration as geographical indications in a Republic of a Central American Party’, provided that they have been successfully registered as geographical indications in the Party of Origin and have subsequently been successfully examined by the competent authority of the Union. |
|
(7) |
The objections raised against the registration of Banano de Costa Rica in the Union are rejected on the ground that they either do not comply with the criteria specified in the public consultation or, where eligible, are not substantiated. No other objection was made under this public consultation. |
|
(8) |
It is appropriate to establish the position to be adopted on behalf of the Union within the Association Council as regards the geographical indications to be inserted in Annex XVIII of the Agreement. |
|
(9) |
The position of the Union should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision of the Association Council, |

Minor technical corrections to the draft Decision of the Association Council may be agreed to by the representatives of the Union in the Association Council, without further decision of the Council.
Article 2
After its adoption, the Decision of the Association Council shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
