ANNEX

Description of the goods

Classification (CN code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

A gardening kit presented in a plastic packing consisting of the following articles:

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR).

The items cannot be considered as goods put up in a set for retail sale within the terms of GIR 3 (b) as not all of them are put up together to meet a particular need or to carry out a specific activity.

The bag is not used for gardening, but to contain the other articles. It may be also used independently of any gardening activity.

The pencil is also not a gardening tool and it has its own practical use elsewhere.

If one or more of the articles of a ‘set’ do not meet the same particular need or are not designed to carry out the same specific activity, each article has to be classified separately (see also the Guidelines on the classification in the Combined Nomenclature of goods put up in sets for retail sale, Part B (II) (2)).

The individual articles, as referred to in the description of the goods, are to be classified as follows:

(a)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 4202, 4202 22 and 4202 22 90. It is to be classified as a handbag with outer surface of textile material under CN code 4202 22 90.

(b)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN code 6216 00 00. The woven textile material is considered to be the constituent material of the gloves. Therefore, they are to be classified as gloves under CN code 6216 00 00.

(c)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 8201 and 8201 50 00. It is to be classified as shears under CN code 8201 50 00.

(d)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 8201 and 8201 10 00. It is to be classified as a shovel under CN code 8201 10 00.

(e)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 3926, 3926 90 and 3926 90 97. It is to be classified as other articles of plastics under CN code 3926 90 97.

(f)	Classification is determined by the wording of CN codes 9609, 9609 10 and 9609 10 10. It is to be classified as a pencil with lead of graphite under CN code 9609 10 10.

(a)	1 bag, made of woven textile fabric, with an outer surface of textile materials with 1 large internal and 4 smaller external pockets,

4202 22 90

(b)	1 pair of gloves, made primarily of woven textile fabric with a minor coating of cellular plastics on the palm side,

6216 00 00

(c)	1 pair of pruning shears of base metal,

8201 50 00

(d)	1 gardening trowel of base metal,

8201 10 00

(e)	12 plastic marker sticks,

3926 90 97

(f)	1 pencil with a lead of graphite.

9609 10 10

The articles of the kit are individually packed in protective plastic packing.

The fabric of the bag and of the gloves has the same pattern (trees, flowers, houses).

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2352

of 16 December 2015

setting out the weighted average of maximum mobile termination rates across the Union

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 531/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2012 on roaming on public mobile communications networks within the Union (1), and in particular Article 6e(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 531/2012, domestic providers should not levy any surcharge additional to the domestic retail price on roaming customers in any Member State, for any regulated roaming call received, within the limits allowed by fair use policy. This provision applies from 15 June 2017, provided that the legislative act to be adopted further to the proposal on the wholesale roaming market referred to in Article 19(2) of that Regulation has become applicable by that date.

(2)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 531/2012 domestic providers may apply a surcharge, in addition to the domestic retail price, for the consumption of regulated retail roaming services, during a transitional period from 30 April 2016 until the date when the legislative act envisaged in Article 19(2) of that Regulation becomes applicable.

(3)	Regulation (EU) No 531/2012 allows domestic providers to apply, after the transitional period, a surcharge, in addition to the domestic retail price, for the consumption of regulated retail roaming services in excess of any limit set under a fair use policy.

(4)	Regulation (EU) No 531/2012 limits any surcharge applied for receiving regulated roaming calls to the weighted average of maximum mobile termination rates across the Union.

(5)

The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications has provided the Commission with information gathered from Member States' national regulatory authorities concerning: (i) the maximum level of mobile termination rates they imposed, in accordance with Articles 7 and 16 of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (Framework Directive) and Article 13 of Directive 2002/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (Access Directive), in each national market for wholesale voice call termination on individual mobile networks, and (ii) the total number of subscribers in Member States.

(6)

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 531/2012, the Commission has calculated the weighted average of the maximum mobile termination rates across the Union by: (i) multiplying the maximum mobile termination rate permitted in a given Member State by the total number of subscribers in that Member State, (ii) summing this product over all Member States, and (iii) dividing the total obtained by the total number of subscribers in all Member States.

(7)	The values of the data used to calculate the weighted average of the maximum mobile termination rates across the Union are of 1 July 2015. For non-euro countries, the relevant exchange rate is the Q2 2015 average obtained from the European Central Bank's database.

(8)	Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 531/2012 the Commission is to review the weighted average of maximum mobile termination rates across the Union annually.

(9)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Communications Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The weighted average of maximum mobile termination rates across the Union is set out at EUR 0,0114 per minute.

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.

It shall apply from 30 April 2016.

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

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2015/2354

of 10 December 2015

authorising certain Member States to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Seychelles to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81(3) in conjunction with Article 218 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

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

Whereas:

(1)	The European Union has set as one of its aims the promotion of the protection of the rights of the child, as stated in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union. Measures for the protection of children against wrongful removal or retention are an essential part of that policy.

(2)

The Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 (2) (‘Brussels IIa Regulation’), which aims to protect children from the harmful effects of wrongful removal or retention and to establish procedures to ensure their prompt return to the state of their habitual residence, as well as to secure the protection of rights of access and rights of custody.

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 complements and reinforces the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (‘the 1980 Hague Convention’) which establishes, at international level, a system of obligations and cooperation among contracting states and between central authorities and aims to ensure the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained children.

(4)	All Member States of the Union are party to the 1980 Hague Convention.

(5)

The Union encourages third states to accede to the 1980 Hague Convention and supports the correct implementation of the 1980 Hague Convention by participating, along with the Member States, inter alia, in the special commissions organised on a regular basis by the Hague Conference on private international law.

(6)	A common legal framework applicable between Member States of the Union and third states could be the best solution to sensitive cases of international child abduction.

(7)	The 1980 Hague Convention stipulates that it applies between the acceding state and such contracting states as have declared their acceptance of the accession.

(8)	The 1980 Hague Convention does not allow regional economic integration organisations such as the Union to become party to it. Therefore, the Union cannot accede to that Convention, nor can it deposit a declaration of acceptance of an acceding state.

(9)	Pursuant to Opinion 1/13 of the Court of Justice of the European Union, declarations of acceptance under the 1980 Hague Convention fall within the exclusive external competence of the Union.

(10)	Seychelles deposited its instrument of accession to the 1980 Hague Convention on 27 May 2008. The 1980 Hague Convention entered into force for Seychelles on 1 August 2008.

(11)

Several Member States have already accepted the accession of Seychelles to the 1980 Hague Convention. An assessment of the situation in Seychelles has led to the conclusion that those Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of Seychelles, are in a position to accept, in the interest of the Union, the accession of Seychelles under the terms of the 1980 Hague Convention.

(12)

The Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of Seychelles should therefore be authorised to deposit their declarations of acceptance of accession of Seychelles in the interest of the Union in accordance with the terms set out in this Decision. The Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden which have already accepted the accession of Seychelles to the 1980 Hague Convention should not deposit new declarations of acceptance as the existing declarations remain valid under public international law.

(13)	The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 and are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.

(14)	In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The Member States that have not yet done so are hereby authorised to accept the accession of Seychelles to the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (‘the 1980 Hague Convention’) in the interest of the Union.

2. Member States referred to in paragraph 1 shall, no later than 11 December 2016, deposit a declaration of acceptance of the accession of Seychelles to the 1980 Hague Convention in the interest of the Union worded as follows:

‘[Full name of MEMBER STATE] declares that it accepts the accession of Seychelles to the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, in accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2015/2354’

3. Each Member State shall inform the Council and the Commission of the deposit of its declaration of acceptance of the accession of Seychelles and communicate to the Commission the text of the declaration within 2 months of its deposit.

Article 2

Those Member States which deposited their declarations of acceptance of the accession of Seychelles to the 1980 Hague Convention prior to the date of adoption of this Decision, shall not deposit new declarations.

Article 3

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

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to all Member States with the exception of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden.

authorising certain Member States to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of the Russian Federation to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81(3) in conjunction with Article 218 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

(7)	The 1980 Hague Convention stipulates that it applies between the acceding state and such contracting states as have declared their acceptance of the accession.

(8)	The 1980 Hague Convention does not allow regional economic integration organisations such as the Union to become party to it. Therefore, the Union cannot accede to that Convention, nor can it deposit a declaration of acceptance of an acceding state.

(9)	Pursuant to Opinion 1/13 of the Court of Justice of the European Union, declarations of acceptance under the 1980 Hague Convention fall within the exclusive external competence of the Union.

(10)	The Russian Federation deposited its instrument of accession to the 1980 Hague Convention on 28 July 2011. The 1980 Hague Convention entered into force for the Russian Federation on 1 October 2011.

(11)

Several Member States have already accepted the accession of the Russian Federation to the 1980 Hague Convention. An assessment of the situation in the Russian Federation has led to the conclusion that those Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of the Russian Federation, are in a position to accept, in the interest of the Union, the accession of the Russian Federation under the terms of the 1980 Hague Convention.

(12)

The Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of the Russian Federation should therefore be authorised to deposit their declarations of acceptance of accession of the Russian Federation in the interest of the Union in accordance with the terms set out in this Decision. The Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Lithuania, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic and the Republic of Finland which have already accepted the accession of the Russian Federation to the 1980 Hague Convention should not deposit new declarations of acceptance as the existing declarations remain valid under public international law.

(13)	The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 and are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.

(14)	In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

3. Each Member State shall inform the Council and the Commission of the deposit of its declaration of acceptance of the accession of the Russian Federation and communicate to the Commission the text of the declaration within two months of its deposit.

(3)

(4)	All Member States of the Union are party to the 1980 Hague Convention.

(5)

(6)	A common legal framework applicable between Member States of the Union and third states could be the best solution to sensitive cases of international child abduction.

(7)	The 1980 Hague Convention stipulates that it applies between the acceding state and such contracting states as have declared their acceptance of the accession.

(8)	The 1980 Hague Convention does not allow regional economic integration organisations such as the Union to become party to it. Therefore, the Union cannot accede to that Convention, nor can it deposit a declaration of acceptance of an acceding state.

(9)	Pursuant to Opinion 1/13 of the Court of Justice of the European Union, declarations of acceptance under the 1980 Hague Convention fall within the exclusive external competence of the Union.

(10)	Albania deposited its instrument of accession to the 1980 Hague Convention on 4 May 2007. The 1980 Hague Convention entered into force for Albania on 1 August 2007.

(11)

Several Member States have already accepted the accession of Albania to the 1980 Hague Convention. An assessment of the situation in Albania has led to the conclusion that those Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of Albania, are in a position to accept, in the interest of the Union, the accession of Albania under the terms of the 1980 Hague Convention.

(12)

The Member States that have not yet accepted the accession of Albania should therefore be authorised to deposit their declarations of acceptance of accession of Albania in the interest of the Union in accordance with the terms set out in this Decision. The Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden which have already accepted the accession of Albania to the 1980 Hague Convention should not deposit new declarations of acceptance as the existing declarations remain valid under public international law.

(13)	The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 and are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.

(14)	In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/2362

of 15 December 2015

concerning exemptions from the extended anti-dumping duty on certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 88/97

(notified under document C(2015) 9049)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3), and in particular Articles 4, 5, 7 and 10 thereof,

After informing the Member States,

Whereas:

(1)

An anti-dumping duty currently applies on imports into the European Union of essential bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the extended duty’) as a result of the extension by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (‘the extending Regulation’) of the anti-dumping duty on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China (‘China’).

(2)	Under Article 3 of the extending Regulation, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) is empowered to adopt the necessary measures to authorise the exemption of imports of essential bicycle parts which do not circumvent the anti-dumping duty.

(3)	Those implementing measures are contained in Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (‘the exemption Regulation’) establishing the specific exemption system.

(4)	On this basis the Commission has exempted a number of bicycle assemblers from the extended duty (‘the exempted parties’).

(5)	As provided for in Article 16(2) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has published in the Official Journal of the European Union successive lists of the exempted parties (4).

(6)	The most recent Commission Implementing Decision concerning exemptions under the exemption Regulation was adopted on 16 April 2014 (5).

(7)	Moreover following the screening initiated by Commission Notice 2014/C-299/08 (6) the Commission updated the list of exempted parties through the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/831 (7).

1. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION

(8)	The Commission received from the parties listed in Tables 1, 2 and 4 below the requests for exemption with all the information required to determine that these were admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.

(9)	These parties were given an opportunity to comment on the Commission's conclusions as to the admissibility of their requests.

(10)

Pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation pending a decision on the merits of requests from these parties the payment of the extended duty in respect of any imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation by these parties was suspended as from the day on which the Commission received their requests.

2. AUTHORISATION OF EXEMPTIONS

(11)

The examination of the merits of the requests from the parties listed in Table 1 has been concluded.

Table 1

Name	Address	Country	TARIC additional code
c2g-engineering GmbH	Schlesische Straße 27, DE-10997 Berlin	Germany	B934
Solo International Oy	Pyyntitie 1 B, FI-02230 Espoo	Finland	B940

BBF Bike GmbH	Carena Allee 8, DE-15366 Hoppegarten	Germany	B936

(12)	The Commission established during this examination that the value of the parts originating in China constituted less than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these parties' assembly operations.

(13)	Consequently, their assembly operations fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.

(14)	For that reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in Table 1 should be exempted from the extended duty.

(15)	In accordance with Article 7(2), their exemptions should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests and, in addition, their customs debts in respect of the extended duty should be considered void from the same date.

(16)	These parties were informed of the Commission's conclusions on the merits of their requests and were given an opportunity to comment thereon.

(17)

Since the exemptions will apply only to the parties specifically referred to in Table 1 with their names and addresses, the exempted parties should notify the Commission (8) forthwith, of any changes to these (for instance, following a change in the name, legal form or address or following the setting up of new assembly entities).

(18)	In such case, the party should provide all relevant information, in particular on any modification in its activities linked to assembly operations. Where appropriate, the Commission will update the references to such party.

3. REJECTION OF REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION AND LIFTING RELATED SUSPENSION

(19)

The examination of the merits of the request from the party listed in Table 2 has been concluded.

Table 2

Name	Address	Country	TARIC additional code
S.C EUROBIKE UNIVERSAL S.R.L.	Street Asociatiei No 4, Movilita, Ialomita	Romania	B941

(20)

The Commission established during this examination that the value of the bicycle parts originating in China constituted more than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in this party's assembly operations, while the party did not demonstrate that value added to the parts brought in during the assembly operation, was greater than 25 % of the manufacturing cost.

(21)	Consequently, this party's assembly operations fall within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and the criteria for exemption are not fulfilled.

(22)	On these grounds and pursuant to with Article 7(3) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has to reject this party's request and lift the suspension of the payment of the extended duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation.

(23)	Consequently, the extended duty should be collected as from the date of receipt of the request for exemption submitted by this party; that is the date on which the suspension took effect.

(24)	This party was informed of the Commission's conclusions on the merits of its request and was given an opportunity to comment thereon. No comments were submitted within the deadline.

(25)	What is said in the preceding recitals does not exclude the application of an exemption subject to end-use control in accordance with Article 14 of the exemption Regulation.

4. UPDATE OF REFERENCES TO AN EXEMPTED PARTY

(26)

The exempted party listed in Table 3 came forward and informed the Commission that its legal form and name have changed. The Commission, after having examined the information submitted, concluded that those changes in no way affect the assembly operations with regard to the conditions of exemption set forth in the exemption Regulation.

(27)

While the exemption of this party from the extended duty authorised pursuant to Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation remain unaffected, the references to this party should be updated.

5. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS OF THE DUTIES FOR PARTIES UNDER EXAMINATION

(28)	The examination of the merits of the request from the parties listed in Table 4 is pending. Pending a decision on the merits of their requests from these parties the payment of extended duty by these parties is suspended.

(29)

Since the suspensions apply only to the parties specifically referred to in Table 4 with their names and addresses, these parties should notify the Commission (9) forthwith, of any changes to these (for instance following a change in the name, legal form or address or following the setting up of new assembly entities).

(30)

In such case, the party should provide all relevant information, in particular on any modification in its activities linked to assembly operations. Where appropriate, the Commission will update the references to such party.
