A. Letter from the European Union
Brussels, 4 August 2016
Your Excellency,
On 30 May 2007 the Council established, by Joint Action 2007/369/CFSP, the EU Police Mission in Afghanistan (EUPOL AFGHANISTAN) with the objective to contribute to the creation under Afghan ownership of sustainable and effective police arrangements.
On 14 October 2010, the European Union and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan signed an agreement on the Status of EUPOL AFGHANISTAN. This Agreement expires on 14 October 2016. Article 20(4) thereof stipulates that this Agreement may be amended by written agreement between the Parties.
The mandate of EUPOL AFGHANISTAN comes to an end on 31 December 2016. After this date the process of the termination of the mission, including the disposal of its assets, is expected to last for the period of up to nine months.
Taking the above in the account, I propose that the Agreement of the Status of EUPOL AFGHANISTAN of 14 October 2010 is extended for a period of 1 (one) year unless terminated by one of the parties with advance written notice of 3 (three) months and applies to EU personnel entrusted with the closure of EUPOL AFGHANISTAN as well as to the assets needed to perform their tasks.
I should be grateful if you would let me know whether you agree on this proposal. If you do agree on it, this letter, together with your reply, will constitute an amendment by written agreement of the above mentioned Agreement between the European Union and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on EUPOL AFGHANISTAN in the meaning of Article 20(4) of this Agreement, which will enter into force on the date on which your letter of reply is received.

(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis (OJ L 248, 5.9.1991, p. 1).
ANNEX
‘ANNEX III
DETERMINATION OF PEROXIDE VALUE
1. Scope
This Annex describes a method for the determination of the peroxide value of animal and vegetable oils and fats.
2. Definition
The peroxide value is the quantity of those substances in the sample, expressed in terms of milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, which oxidise potassium iodide under the operating conditions described.
3. Principle
Treatment of the test portion, in solution in acetic acid and chloroform, by a solution of potassium iodide. Titration of the liberated iodine with standardised sodium thiosulphate solution.
4. Apparatus
All the equipment used must be free from reducing or oxidising substances.
Note 1: Do not grease ground surfaces.
|
4.1. |
3 ml glass scoop. |
|
4.2. |
Flasks, with ground necks and stoppers, of about 250 ml capacity, dried beforehand and filled with a pure, dry inert gas (nitrogen or, preferably, carbon dioxide). |
|
4.3. |
Burette of 5-ml, 10-ml or 25-ml capacity, graduated in at least 0,05 ml, preferably with automatic zero adjustment, or equivalent automatic burette. |
|
4.4. |
Analytical balance. |
5. Reagents
|
5.1. |
Chloroform, analytical reagent quality, freed from oxygen by bubbling a current of pure, dry inert gas through it. |
|
5.2. |
Glacial acetic acid, analytical reagent quality, freed from oxygen by bubbling a current of pure, dry inert gas through it. |
|
5.3. |
Potassium iodide, saturated aqueous solution, recently prepared, free from iodine and iodates. Dissolve approximately 14 g of potassium iodide in approximately 10 ml of water at room temperature. |
|
5.4. |
Sodium thiosulphate, 0,01 mol/l (equivalent to 0,01 N) accurately standardised aqueous solution, standardised just before use.
Prepare daily the 0,01 mol/l sodium thiosulfate solution freshly from a 0,1 mol/l sodium thiosulfate standard solution before use, or determine the exact molarity. As experience shows, the stability is limited and depends upon the pH value and the content of free carbon dioxide. Use only freshly boiled water for the dilution, possibly purged with nitrogen. The following procedure is recommended to determine the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulfate solution: Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, 0,27 g to 0,33 g of potassium iodate (mKIO3) into a volumetric flask (250 ml or 500 ml) and dilute to the mark with freshly boiled water (V2), cooled down to room temperature. By means of a pipette, transfer 5 ml or 10 ml of this potassium iodate solution (V1) into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Add 60 ml of freshly boiled water, 5 ml of 4 mol/l hydrochloric acid, and 25 mg to 50 mg of potassium iodide or 0,5 ml of the saturated potassium iodide solution. Titrate this solution with the sodium thiosulfate solution (V3) to determine the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulfate solution.
Where
|
|
5.5. |
Starch solution, 10 g/l aqueous dispersion, recently prepared from natural soluble starch. Equivalent reagents may also be used. |
6. Sample
Take care that the sample is taken and stored away from the light, kept cold and contained in completely filled glass containers, hermetically sealed with ground-glass or cork stoppers.
7. Procedure
The test must be carried out in diffuse daylight or in artificial light. Weigh in a glass scoop (4.1) or, failing this, in a flask (4.2), to the nearest 0,001 g, a mass of the sample in accordance with the following table, according to the expected peroxide value:
|
Expected peroxide value (meq) |
Weight of test portion (g) |
|
0 to 12 |
5,0 to 2,0 |
|
12 to 20 |
2,0 to 1,2 |
|
20 to 30 |
1,2 to 0,8 |
|
30 to 50 |
0,8 to 0,5 |
|
50 to 90 |
0,5 to 0,3 |
Unstopper a flask (4.2) and introduce the glass scoop containing the test portion. Add 10 ml of chloroform (5.1). Dissolve the test portion rapidly by stirring. Add 15 ml of acetic acid (5.2), then 1 ml of potassium iodide solution (5.3). Insert the stopper quickly, shake for one minute, and leave for exactly five minutes away from the light at a temperature from 15 to 25 °C.
Add about 75 ml of distilled water. Titrate the liberated iodine with the sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) shaking vigorously, using starch solution (5.5) as indicator.
Carry out two determinations on the same test sample.
Carry out simultaneously a blank test. If the result of the blank exceeds 0,05 ml of the 0,01 N sodium thiosulfate solution (5.4), replace the impure reagents.
8. Expression of results
The peroxide value (PV), expressed in milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, is given by the formula:
where:
|
V |
= |
the number of ml of the standardised sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) used for the test, corrected to take into account the blank test. |
|
T |
= |
the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) used, in mol/l. |
|
m |
= |
the weight in g, of the test portion. |
Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the two determinations carried out.
Report the result of the determination to one decimal place.’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/1785
of 7 October 2016
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for cymoxanil, phosphane and phosphide salts and sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate in or on certain products
(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For cymoxanil and phosphines and phosphides, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For hydrogen phosphide MRLs were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to that Regulation. For sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate no MRLs are set in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and as those active substances are not included in Annex IV to that Regulation, the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) of that Regulation applies. |
|
(2) |
For cymoxanil, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It recommended lowering the MRLs for potatoes, garlic, onions, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, peas (fresh, with pods), globe artichokes and leek. For other products it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for table grapes, wine grapes, lettuce, spinach, beans (dry), lentils (dry), peas (dry), lupines (dry), herbal infusions (dried, flowers) and hops some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for sunflower seed and soya bean no information was available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. The MRLs for these products should be set at the specific limit of determination. |
|
(3) |
For phosphane and phosphide salts the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It proposed to change the residue definition and recommended lowering the MRLs for herbs, beans (dry), lentils (dry), peas (dry), lupines (dry), tea, herbal infusions, cocoa and spices. For coffee beans it recommended raising the existing MRL. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, chestnuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, macadamia, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, linseed, peanuts, poppy seed, sesame seed, sunflower seed, rape seed, soya bean, mustard seed, cotton seed, pumpkin seeds, safflower, borage, gold of pleasure, hempseed, castor bean, barley grain, buckwheat grain, maize grain, millet grain, oats grain, rice grain, rye grain, sorghum grain, wheat grain and commodities of animal origin some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(4) |
For sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It proposed a residue definition and recommended setting MRLs for tomatoes, aubergines, melons and watermelons. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for table grapes, wine grapes, strawberries, raspberries, currants, maize grain, rice grain, wheat grain and hops some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for table olives and olives for oil production no information was available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. The MRLs for these products should be set at the specific limit of determination. |
|
(5) |
As regards products on which the use of the plant protection product concerned is not authorised, and for which no import tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of determination or the default MRL should apply, as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(6) |
The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of pesticides as regards the need to adapt certain limits of determination. As regards several substances, those laboratories concluded that for certain commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination. |
|
(7) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(8) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account. |
|
(9) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(10) |
In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. |
|
(11) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |
|
(12) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as it stood before being amended by this Regulation shall continue to apply to products which were produced before 28 April 2017.
