COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2243

of 30 November 2017

on repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 (2), the Commission classified a solid, cylindrical, threaded product made of titanium alloy and presented for use in the field of trauma surgery under CN code 8108 90 90.

(2)

In its judgment in Case C-51/16 (3), the Court of Justice ruled that heading 9021 of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (4), as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1101/2014 (5), must be interpreted as meaning that medical implant screws such as those at issue in the main proceedings fall under that heading as those goods have characteristics which distinguish them from ordinary goods, in particular taking into account the finish of their manufacture, their high degree of precision, the method of their manufacture and the specificity of their purpose. In particular, the fact that medical implant screws such as those at issue in the main proceedings can be inserted in the body only by means of specific medical tools, not by means of ordinary tools, is one of the characteristics to be taken into consideration in order to distinguish those medical implant screws from ordinary products.

(3)

The product covered by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 corresponds to the ISO/TC 150 standards for implant screws, is presented for use in the field of trauma surgery for setting fractures, is presented in a sterilised package, is marked with a number and therefore traceable throughout production and distribution, and is to be installed in the body using specific tools.

(4)	Classification of the product covered by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 under CN code 8108 90 90 is therefore not in line with the findings of the Court of Justice in Case C-51/16.

(5)	Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 should therefore be repealed.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1212/2014 is repealed.

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2244

of 30 November 2017

concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)	In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

(2)

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN-code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

A product consisting of two horizontal rails and two vertical rails of extruded aluminium, which together constitute a frame designed to be fixed to the wall by means of screws.

The product is designed to serve for the attachment of wall-tile panels.

The design of the horizontal rails enables the panels to be slid into them, which facilitates the removal and replacement of the panels when needed.

(See image) (*1)

7616 99 90

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7616 , 7616 99 and 7616 99 90 .

Classification under heading 8302 as ‘base-metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like’ is excluded. The rails are designed for attaching wall-tile panels to the wall and the wall-tile panels are different in nature from the articles that are to be attached using the products of heading 8302 (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 8302 , second paragraph, (D) and (E)).

Consequently, the product is to be classified under CN code 7616 99 90 as ‘other articles of aluminium’.

3924 90 00

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3924 and 3924 90 00 .

The article is not a piece of furniture, as it is neither designed for placing on the floor or ground, nor to be hung, to be fixed to the wall or to stand one on the other. Therefore, in accordance with note 2 to Chapter 94, classification of the article as a piece of furniture referred to in headings 9401 , 9402 or 9403 is excluded.

The article is to be classified under CN code 3924 90 00 as other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics.

ANNEX

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN-code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

Unexposed aluminum plates (so-called ‘positive thermal plates with laser diode sensitivity’), rectangular in shape, with one side exceeding 255 mm in length, coated on one side with an emulsion (essentially containing alkali-soluble resin, one or more IR (infrared) dyes (photo thermal converter) and a solubility suppressor (colourant)) that is sensitive to infrared laser diodes at a wavelength of 830 nm.

They are designed for use with CTP (Computer To Plate technology) equipment for medium to large print runs. To increase the life span of the finished product, the plates undergo a so-called ‘baking’ process to harden the image once it has been developed.

3701 30 00

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2 to Chapter 37 and by the wording of CN codes 3701 and 3701 30 00 .

The product has the objective characteristics of an unexposed photographic plate covered with photosensitive material.

Note 2 to Chapter 37 defines the word ‘photographic’ as related to the process by which visible images are formed, directly or indirectly, by the action of light or other forms of radiation on photosensitive surfaces.

The photographic plates of Chapter 37 are those with one or more layers of any emulsion sensitive to light or other forms of radiation having sufficient energy to cause the necessary reaction in photon (or photo) sensitive materials, i.e. radiation of a wavelength no longer than approximately 1 300 nm in the electromagnetic spectrum (including gamma-rays, ultra-violet and near-infrared radiation) as well as particle (or nuclear) radiation, whether for reproduction in monochrome or colour (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to Chapter 37). The wavelength of radiation sensitivity of the sensitised layer of these plates (830 nm) falls within the range of accepted wavelengths of heading 3701 .

Classification under CN code 8442 50 00 as printing plates is consequently excluded as sensitised plates of heading 3701 are excluded from heading 8442 (see also the HSEN to heading 8442 , item (B) and HS Classification Opinion 3701.30/1 of 2015).

The plates are therefore to be classified under CN code 3701 30 00 as other photographic plates, with any side exceeding 255 mm.

ANNEX

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

An article (so-called ‘heating mat’) with dimensions of approximately 190 × 80 × 4 cm and a weight of approximately 11,5 kg. It is padded and contains a heating element (grid coated with a thin layer of a fabric). The lower part of the mat (below the heating element) is made up of a 1 cm thick layer of foam. The upper outer side of the mat is fitted with a layer of flat and smooth artificial stones containing tourmaline. The article's surface is rigid and bumpy.

The article is equipped with a controller connected by a cable and a power connection. The controller has a display showing the set temperature, various indicators, a button for setting the desired temperature and an on/off button.

It is designed for heat treatment of various parts of the human body. It can be laid on or sat on. Temperature can be selected in a range of 30-70 °C. The artificial stones emit (after heating them) far infrared rays.

See images (*1).

8516 79 70

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8516 , 8516 79 and 8516 79 70 .

Classification under heading 9019 as a massage apparatus is excluded as the article does not operate by friction, vibration or any mechanical movement; it is not designed to massage the body. The stones are flat and smooth with specific properties accumulating the heat and emitting it without any friction (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 9019 , (II)).

Classification under heading 9404 as articles of bedding and similar furnishing — mattress or a bed pad, is also excluded as the article is not intended to equip the bed. It is rigid and has a bumpy surface. Therefore, note 1 (a) to Chapter 85 does not apply.

The article functions as an apparatus for thermotherapy suitable for domestic use.

It is therefore classified under CN code 8516 79 70 as other electrothermic appliances.

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

An article (so-called ‘guy grip dead end’) made of 6 wires, each having a thickness of 3,25 mm.

The wires are of galvanised cold drawn carbon steel. The wires run parallel to each other and are covered by a zinc coating. They are loosely twisted throughout their length and are bent to form a ‘U’ shape.

After presentation, the article is used as ‘guying’ for wooden telegraph poles i.e. the wire is closely twisted together to become stranded wire.

(See images) (*1)

7326 20 00

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7326 and 7326 20 00 .

Classification under heading 7312 as stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like is excluded because the article is not closely twisted (see also Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 7312 , first paragraph and the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to subheadings 7312 10 61 to 7312 10 69 ). It only becomes closely twisted when mounted on the telegraph pole.

The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7326 20 00 as other articles of iron and steel wire.

of 6 December 2017

amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1138 as regards certain deadlines for the use of UN/Cefact standards in the exchange of information on fisheries

(notified under document C(2017) 8089)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to the Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Articles 111 and 116 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011 of 8 April 2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 146j thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Member State systems should be capable of exchanging fishing activity data and sales-related data messages using the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/Cefact) standard in accordance with Article 146g and 146h of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/2011.

(2)	Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1138 (3) fixes the deadlines for the use of UN/Cefact standards in the exchanges of fisheries data.

(3)	In order to ensure business continuity there is a need to establish a transition period during which the format in use before 1 November 2017 and the UN/Cefact standard format may be used for data exchanges, both within the Union as well as between Member States and third countries.

(4)	There is a need to modify the specifications for replying to requests for sales notes and take-over data in order to harmonise this procedure with the specifications of other data requests.

(5)	It is therefore appropriate to postpone certain deadlines set by Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1138 for the use of these UN/Cefact standards.

(6)	During meetings of the Fisheries Control Experts Group — ERS (Electronic recording and reporting system) and Data Management working group, Member States agreed on the need to establish a transition period, to modify the aforementioned specifications and to postpone certain deadlines.

(7)	As the transition period started already on 1 November 2017, there is a need for this Decision to apply retroactively from this date.

(8)	Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1138 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

(1)

In Article 2, the following paragraphs 3 and 4 are added:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2017/2267

of 7 December 2017

amending the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU concerning animal health control measures relating to African swine fever in certain Member States

(notified under document C(2017) 8522)

(Text with EEA relevance)

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(4) 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(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Implementing Decision demarcates and lists certain areas of those Member States in Parts I to IV thereof, differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation as regards that disease.

(2)

In November 2017, a number of cases of African swine fever in wild boar were observed in powiecie legionowski, piaseczynski and in warszawski – zachodni district in Poland. Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2017/2176 (5) and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2198 (6) were adopted in response to these cases, and these acts apply until 8 December 2017 and until 15 December 2017 respectively. These cases constitute an increased level of risk that should be reflected in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. Accordingly, the areas affected by these cases of African swine fever in wild boar in Poland should now be listed in Part II and the surrounding areas should now be listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.

(3)

There have never been any notification of African swine fever in domestic pigs or wild boar in Ruciane Nida, Lelis and Lyse of Poland which are currently listed in Part I of that Annex. In line with recital 9 of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1196 (7) and the surveillance data provided, these areas should be removed from Part I.

(4)

In November 2017, a number of cases of African swine fever in wild boar were observed in powiecie sokólski, augustowski, elcki, parczewski in Poland, in Vilkaviškio, Pakruojo and Radviliškio rajonų savivaldybėse in Lithuania and in Dobeles novads in Latvia in areas currently listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. These cases constitute an increased level of risk that should be reflected in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Accordingly, the areas affected by these cases of African swine fever in wild boar in Poland, in Lithuania and in Latvia should now be listed in Part II instead of Part I and some new surrounding areas in Poland should now be listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.

(5)

In November 2017, a few cases of African swine fever were observed also in Russian Federation (Kaliningrad region) in proximity to the border with Poland. These cases constitute an increased level of risk for certain areas in Poland that should be reflected in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. Due to the epidemiological situation of the disease in Kaliningrad region (Russian Federation), certain bordering areas of Poland should now be listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.

(6)

Since September 2017, a number of cases and one outbreak of African swine fever were observed in Saldus novads Latvia, in proximity to the border with Lithuania. These cases and the outbreak constitute an increased level of risk for certain areas in Lithuania that should be reflected in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. Accordingly, certain bordering areas of Lithuania should now be listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU.

(7)

In November 2017, a case of African swine fever in wild boar was observed in powiecie włodawskim in Poland in an area currently listed in Part II of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU and in proximity to areas currently listed in Part I of that Annex. The occurrence of this case constitutes an increase in the level of risk that should be reflected in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Accordingly, the relevant areas of Poland should now be listed in Part II instead of Part I and some new surrounding areas in Poland should now be listed in Part I of that Annex.

(8)

The evolution of the current epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the feral pig population in the Union should be taken into account in the assessment of the risk to animal health posed by the new disease situation in certain countries. In order to focus the animal health control measures provided for in Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU, and to prevent the further spread of African swine fever, while at the same time preventing any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union, and also avoiding unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision should be updated to take account of the changes in the epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Poland, Latvia and Lithuania.

(9)	The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
