COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1213

of 12 July 2019

laying down detailed provisions ensuring uniform conditions for the implementation of interoperability and compatibility of on-board weighing equipment pursuant to Council Directive 96/53/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 96/53/EC of 25 July 1996 (1), and in particular Article 10d(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	On-board weighing equipment is an option provided for the Member States by Directive 96/53/EC for carrying out the control of vehicles or vehicle combinations which may be overloaded.

(2)

In line with the second paragraph of Article 10d(5) of Directive 96/53/EC, in order to ensure interoperability, the on-board weighing equipment has to be able to transmit weight data at any time from a moving vehicle to the competent authorities and to the driver through an interface defined by CEN DSRC standards. Technical specifications adapting the content of the standards to the specificities of the information to be provided by on-board weighing equipment should therefore be adopted.

(3)

On-board weighing equipment may be fitted in motor vehicles as well as in trailers and semi-trailers. It is necessary to guarantee that on-board weighing equipment fitted in different vehicles of a vehicle combination is mutually compatible. Compatibility should be ensured by the implementation of European standards on C-ITS as referred to in the delegated act supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) with regard to the deployment and operational use of cooperative intelligent transport systems.

(4)

Member States mandating the instalment of on-board weighing equipment should be able to exempt from that obligation vehicles or vehicle combinations for which it is impossible to exceed the maximum authorised weight, such as trailers or semitrailers specifically designed for the carriage of liquids or livestock.

(5)

The use of on-board weighing equipment for the purpose of enforcement may trigger attempts of manipulation, as is the case with other vehicle systems, such as the digital tachograph or the systems for the restriction of emissions. In order to keep an appropriate level of security against manipulation, the communication between motor vehicle and trailer or semi-trailer must be secured. In addition, on-board weighing equipment should be certified according to the Common Criteria, by a certification body recognised by the Management Committee within the framework of the ‘Mutual Recognition Agreement of Information Technology Security Evaluation Certificates’ of the Senior Officials Group on Information Systems Security (SOG-IS).

(6)

Member States which opt for the installation in the vehicle of on-board weighing equipment should ensure that the vehicles undergo inspections of that equipment by OBW-workshops. In order to ensure the uniform implementation of the interoperability rules set out in this Regulation, those workshops should guarantee that the on-board equipment is operating with the appropriate level of accuracy. Those workshops may be, subject to necessary adjustments, testing centres referred to in Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), workshops referred to in Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), or any other workshop respecting the requirements of this Regulation. Member States which do not opt for introducing on-board weighing equipment on the grounds of Article 10d(1) of Directive 96/53/EC should not need to set up those workshops.

(7)

The current state of the technology does not make possible the implementation of neither CEN DSRC nor C-ITS communication standards in on-board weighing equipment by 27 May 2021. A phased approach should therefore be adopted for the implementation of on-board weighing equipment so that industry is able to develop products compliant with the requirements of this Regulation, and in particular with its Annex II and certain requirements of Annex III. The Member States which opt for the installation in the vehicle of on-board weighing equipment should, by 27 May 2021, apply the requirements referring to stage 1 set out in Annexes I and III. An additional period of three years should be granted for the application of requirements set out in Annex II and those referring to stage 2 set out in Annexes I and III.

(8)

Member States may take specific measures to require that the vehicles to be checked by the competent authorities in order to ensure compliance with Directive 96/53/EC and which are put into circulation as of 27 May 2021 and registered in their territory, are fitted with an on-board weighing equipment. Vehicles put into circulation and registered before that date should not need to be retrofitted with such an equipment.

(9)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Road Transport Committee, referred to in Article 10i of Directive 96/53/EC,

ANNEX IV

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

1. On-board weighing equipment (‘OBW’) shall undergo periodic inspections by weighing the vehicle or vehicle combination on certified weighing devices in accordance with Article 5(2)(b) of this Regulation, such as portable weigh pads or a weighbridge.

2. The following vehicles shall be subject to inspection:

a)	motor vehicles;

b)	trailers and semi-trailers featuring a trailer unit (‘TU’).

3. Trailers and semi-trailers subject to inspection according to point 2 shall undergo the inspection attached to a motor vehicle. Motor vehicles intended to tow semi-trailers shall undergo the inspection attached to a semi-trailer.

4. The periodic inspection shall consist of:

a)	a three-load test, which shall be carried out two years after the registration of the vehicle and every four years thereafter;

b)	a single-load test, which shall be carried out two years after the first three-load test and every four years thereafter.

Table 3

Test	Three-load	Single-load	Three-load	Single-load	Three-load	Single-load	Three-load	…
Years after the date of registration of the vehicle	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	…

5. Three-load test

A three-load test shall be performed by loading the vehicle with three different loads, which values shall be calculated as follows:

a)	a load between 45 % and 55 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle;

b)	a load between 65 % and 75 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle;

c)	A load between 90 % and 100 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle.

6. The single load test shall be performed by loading the vehicle with a load which is at least 90 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle.

7. For trailers and semi-trailers featuring a TU and for motor vehicles intended to tow a semi-trailer, the loads in points 5 and 6 shall be calculated in respect of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle combination.

8. Specific provisions for dynamic OBWs

8.1. If the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle or vehicle combination exceeds the maximum authorised weight, the loads in points 5 and 6 shall be calculated in respect of the maximum authorised weight.

8.2. In order to get a load value from the OBW, the vehicle or vehicle combination shall be driven over a certain distance under specific conditions to be specified in the manufacturer's guidelines.

9. The inspection shall be deemed to have failed when

a)	the load value displayed by the OBW corresponding to the load between 90 % to 100 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass referred to in point 5(c) does not conform to the values measured by the certified weighing device, with the level of accuracy set out in point 8 of Annex I, and

the load values displayed by the OBW corresponding to the loads between 45 % and 55 %, and between 65 % and 75 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass as referred to in points 5(a) and 5(b), do not conform to the values measured by the certified weighing device with a level or accuracy of ± 15 %.

10. When the inspection fails the OBW shall undergo a new inspection no later than two months after the previous one.

11. Flexibilities for periodic inspections:

In order to facilitate the performance of periodic inspections for specific types of vehicles, and in order to reduce the impact of periodic inspections on the regular activities of drivers and hauliers, Member States may consider the application of the following flexibilities for vehicles registered in their territory:

a)	the three load values referred to in point 5 may be obtained over a period of three months;

the actual weighing of the vehicle may be carried out on certified weighing devices not belonging to the facilities of the OBW-workshops referred to in Article 5 of this Regulation, provided that the weighing operation is being supervised by a member of the staff of an OBW-workshop. The owner of the vehicle shall provide evidence to the OBW-workshop that the weighing has been performed on a certified weighing device;

for vehicles or vehicle combinations which specific configuration makes technically impossible to exceed the maximum authorised weight during normal use (e.g. road tankers) the loads referred to in points 5 and 6 may have other values; in the case of the three-load test, the difference between two consecutive loads shall be at least 15 % of the maximum authorised weight.

AHMED AG ALBACHAR (alias: Intahmadou Ag Albachar)

Designation: President of the Humanitarian Commission of the Bureau Regional d'Administration et Gestion de Kidal

Date of birth: 31 Dec. 1963

Place of birth: Tin-Essako, Kidal region, Mali

Nationality: Mali

Mali National identification no: 1 63 08 4 01 001 005E

Address: Quartier Aliou, Kidal, Mali

Date of UN designation: 10 July 2019

Other information: Ahmed Ag Albachar is a prominent businessman and, since early 2018, a special advisor to the Governor of Kidal region. An influential member of the Haut Conseil pour l'unité de l'Azawad (HCUA), belonging to the Ifoghas Tuareg community, Ahmed Ag Albachar also mediates relations between the Coordination des Mouvements de l'Azawad (CMA) and Ansar Dine (QDe.135).

Additional information

Ahmed Ag Albachar is being listed pursuant to paragraph 8 (b) of resolution 2374 (2017) for actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the implementation of the Agreement; and paragraph 8 (e) of resolution 2374 (2017) for obstructing the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Mali, or access to, or distribution of, humanitarian assistance in Mali.

In January Ag Albachar uses his influence to control and choose which humanitarian and development projects take place in the Kidal region, who implements them, where and when. No humanitarian action can be undertaken without his knowledge and approval. As self-proclaimed president of the humanitarian commission, Ag Albachar is in charge of granting residence and work permits of aid workers in exchange for money or services. The commission also controls which companies and individuals can participate in bids for projects that NGOs advertise in Kidal, granting Ag Albachar the power to manipulate humanitarian action in the region and choose those who work for NGOs. Aid distributions can only be conducted under his oversight, thereby influencing who benefits from the distributions.

Additionally, Albachar uses unemployed youths to intimidate and extort NGOs, severely hindering their work. The humanitarian community at large works in fear in Kidal, but especially national staff who are more vulnerable.

Ahmed Ag Albachar is also the co-owner of Timitrine Voyage transport company; one of the few transport companies that NGOs are authorised to use in Kidal. Ag Albachar, together with a dozen of other transport companies owned by a small clique of influential Ifoghas Tuareg notables, usurps a significant share of humanitarian aid in Kidal. Moreover, the monopoly position maintained by Ag Albachar, renders aid delivery in certain communities more difficult than others.

Albachar is manipulating humanitarian aid to fulfil his personal interests and the political interests of the HCUA by exercising terror, threatening NGOs and controlling their operations, all of which results in obstruction and hindrance of aid affecting beneficiaries in need in the region of Kidal. Therefore, Ahmed Ag Albachar obstructs the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Mali, or access to, or distribution of, humanitarian assistance in Mali.

His actions also violate article 49 of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali that commits parties to respect the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence which guide humanitarian action, to prevent any use of humanitarian aid for political, economic or military ends, and to facilitate access for humanitarian agencies and guarantee the security of their personnel. Therefore, Albachar obstructs or threatens the implementation of the Agreement.

HOUKA HOUKA AG ALHOUSSEINI (alias: a) Mohamed Ibn Alhousseyni b) Muhammad Ibn Al-Husayn c) Houka Houka)

Title: Cadi

Date of birth: a) 1 Jan. 1962 b) 1 Jan. 1963 c) 1 Jan. 1964

Place of birth: Ariaw, Tombouctou region, Mali

Nationality: Mali

Date of UN designation: 10 July 2019

Other information: Houka Houka Ag Alhousseini was appointed by Iyad Ag Ghaly (QDi.316) as the Cadi of Timbuktu in April 2012 after the establishment of the jihadist caliphate in northern Mali. Houka Houka used to work closely with the Hesbah, the Islamic police headed by Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, jailed at the Detention Centre of the International Criminal Court in The Hague since September 2016.

Additional information

Houka Houka Ag Alhousseini is being listed pursuant to paragraph 8 (b) of resolution 2374 (2017) for actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the implementation of the Agreement.

After the French forces intervention in January 2013, Houka Houka Ag Alhousseini was arrested on 17 January 2014 but subsequently released by Malian authorities on 15 August 2014, a liberation denounced by human rights organisations.

Houka Houka Ag Alhousseini has been since based in Ariaw, in the area of Zouéra, a village located west of Timbuktu (Essakane commune), on the bank of the lake Faguibine going towards the Mauritanian border. On 27 September 2017, he was officially reinstated here as a teacher by the Governor of Timbuktu, Koina Ag Ahmadou, this after lobbying by sanctioned individual Mohamed Ousmane Ag Mohamidoune (MLi.003), leader of the Coalition du peuple de l'Azawad (CPA), listed on 20 December 2018 by the Security Council Committee on Mali for reasons including actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the implementation of the Agreement. Mohamed Ousmane founded in 2017 and presided a broader alliance of splinter groups, the Coalition des Mouvements de l'Entente (CME). During its founding convention, the CME openly threatened in an official statement the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali. The CME has been also involved in obstructions delaying the implementation of the Agreement, by pressuring the Malian government and the international community with the aim to impose the CME in the different mechanisms established by the Agreement.

Houka Houka and Mohamed Ousmane have been instrumental to each others' rise, the latter facilitating meetings with government officials, and the first playing a key role in the expansion of Ousmane's influence over the region of Timbuktu. Houka Houka has participated in most of the community gatherings organized by Mohamed Ousmane since 2017, contributing to Ousmane's notoriety and credibility in the region, as well as to the founding ceremony of the Coalition des Mouvements de l'Entente (CME) to which he gave his public blessing.

The area of influence of Houka Houka has recently expanded further east, to the Ber region (stronghold of the Bérabich Arabs located 50 kilometres east of Timbuktu), and northern Timbuktu. Even though he is not from a lineage of Cadis and that he started only in 2012, Houka Houka was able to extend his authority as a Cadi and his capacity to maintain public security in certain areas by using Al-Furqan assets and the fear that this terrorist organisation instigates in the Timbuktu region through complex attacks against international and Malian defence and security forces and targeted assassinations.

Therefore, through his support for Mohamed Ousmane and his obstruction of the Agreement, Houka Houka Ag Alhousseini threatens its implementation, as well as the peace, security, and stability in Mali at large.

MAHRI SIDI AMAR BEN DAHA (alias a) Yoro Ould Daha b) Yoro Ould Daya c) Sidi Amar Ould Daha d) Yoro)

Designation: Deputy chief of staff of the regional coordination of the Mécanisme opérationnel de coordination (MOC) in Gao

Date of birth: 1 Jan. 1978

Place of birth: Djebock, Mali

Nationality: Mali

Mali National identification no: 11262/1547

Address: Golf Rue 708 Door 345, Gao, Mali

Date of UN designation: 10 July 2019

Other information: Mahri Sidi Amar Ben Daha is a leader of the Lehmar Arab community of Gao and military chief of staff of the pro-governmental wing of the Mouvement Arabe de l'Azawad (MAA), associated to the Plateforme des mouvements du 14 juin 2014 d'Alger (Plateforme) coalition.

Additional information

Mahri Sidi Amar Ben Daha is being listed pursuant to paragraph 8 (b) of resolution 2374 (2017) for actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the implementation of the Agreement.

Ben Daha was a high-ranking officer of the Islamic police operating in Gao when the Mouvement pour l'unicité et le jihad en Afrique de l'Ouest (MUJAO) (QDe.134) controlled the town from June 2012 to January 2013. Ben Daha currently is deputy chief of staff of the regional coordination of the Mécanisme opérationnel de coordination (MOC) in Gao.

On 12 November 2018, the Plateforme in Bamako declared not to participate in forthcoming regional consultations, scheduled to be held from 13 to 17 November in accordance with the March 2018 roadmap agreed upon by all parties to the Peace and reconciliation Agreement in March 2018. The next day, in Gao, a coordination meeting was held by the military chief of staff of the Ganda Koy component of Coordination des mouvements et fronts patriotiques de résistance (CMFPR)-Plateforme, with representatives the MAA-Plateforme, to prevent the consultations to take place. The blockade was coordinated with Plateforme leadership in Bamako, the MAA-Plateforme, as well as Member of Parliament Mohamed Ould Mataly.

From 14 to 18 November 2018, dozens of MAA-Plateforme combatants together with those of the CMFPR factions obstructed the holding of regional consultations. Operating under the instruction and with the participation of Ben Daha, at least six pick-up truck vehicles from the Mouvement Arabe de l'Azawad (MAA-Plateforme) were positioned in front of the Gao governorate and its vicinity. Two MOC vehicles attributed to MAA-Plateforme were also observed at the scene.

On 17 November 2018, an incident took place between armed elements blocking access to the governorate and a FAMa patrol passing by the area, but was diffused before it could escalate and constitute a cease-fire violation. On 18 November 2018, a total of twelve vehicles and armed elements lifted the blockade of the governorate following a latest round of negotiations with the governor of Gao.

On 30 November 2018, Ben Daha organized an inter-Arab meeting in Tinfanda to discuss security and administrative restructuring. The meeting also included sanctioned individual Ahmoudou Ag Asriw (MLi.001) whom Ben Daha supports and defends.

Therefore, through effectively blocking discussions on key provisions of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement related to the reform of the territorial structure of northern Mali, Ben Daha has obstructed the implementation of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement. In addition, Ben Daha supports an individual identified as threatening the implementation of the Agreement through his involvement in ceasefire violations and organized criminal activity.

Other information: Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri is a businessman from the Arab Lehmar community in Gao region who previously collaborated with the Mouvement pour l'unicité et le Jihad en Afrique de l'Ouest (MUJAO) (QDe.134).

Additional information

Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri is being listed pursuant to paragraph 8 (c) of resolution 2374 (2017) for acting for or on behalf of or at the direction of or otherwise supporting or financing individuals and entities identified in paragraphs 8 (a) and (b) of resolution 2374 (2017), including through the proceeds from organized crime, including the production and trafficking of narcotic drugs and their precursors originating in or transiting through Mali, the trafficking in persons and the smuggling of migrants, the smuggling and trafficking of arms as well as the trafficking in cultural property.

Between December 2017 and April 2018, Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri commanded a trafficking operation of over 10 tons of Moroccan cannabis, moved in cooling trucks through Mauretania, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. In the night of 13 to 14 June 2018 a quarter of the shipment was confiscated in Niamey, while a rival group had allegedly stolen the remaining three quarters during the night of 12 and 13 April 2018.

In December 2017, Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri was in Niamey with a Malian national to prepare the operation. The latter was arrested in Niamey after he had flown in from Morocco with two Moroccan and two Algerian Nationals on 15 and 16 April 2018 to try and recuperate stolen cannabis. Three of his associates were also arrested, including a Moroccan national, who had been sentenced in Morocco in 2014 to five months imprisonment for drug trafficking.

Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri commands trafficking of cannabis resin to Niger straight through northern Mali, making use of convoys led by members of the Groupe d'autodéfense des Touaregs Imghad et leurs allies (GATIA), including sanctioned individual Ahmoudou Ag Asriw (MLi.001). Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri compensates Asriw for the use of these convoys. These convoys frequently generate clashes with competitors associated with the Coordination des Mouvements de l'Azawad (CMA).

Using his financial gains made in narcotics trafficking, Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri lends his support to terrorist armed groups, notably the sanctioned entity Al-Mourabitoun (QDe.141), attempting to bribe officials to release arrested combatants and facilitating fighters to integrate in the Mouvement Arab pour l'Azawad (MAA) Plateforme.

Therefore, through the proceeds from organized crime, Mohamed Ben Ahmed Mahri supports an individual identified under paragraph 8(b) of resolution 2374 (2007) as threatening the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, in addition to a terrorist group designated under resolution 1267.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1217

of 17 July 2019

on the harmonised standards for personal flotation devices — lifejackets drafted in support of Council Directive 89/686/EEC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular point (b) of Article 11(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 5(2) of Council Directive 89/686/EEC (2) Member States are to presume that the personal protective equipment (PPE) referred to in Article 8(2) satisfies the basic requirements referred to in Article 3 if it bears the CE marking with respect to which the manufacturer is able to produce, on demand, not only the declaration referred to in Article 12 but also the certificate issued by the body of which notification has been given in accordance with Article 9 attesting to their conformity to the relevant national standards, transposing the harmonized standards, assessed at the EC type examination level in accordance with the first indent of Article 10(4)(a) and (b).

(2)

In September 2014, Sweden lodged a formal objection in respect of standards EN ISO 12402-2:2006 ‘Personal flotation devices — Part 2: Lifejackets, performance level 275 — Safety requirements (ISO 12402-2:2006)’ amended by EN ISO 12402-2:2006/A1:2010, EN ISO 12402-3:2006 ‘Personal flotation devices — Part 3: Lifejackets, performance level 150 — Safety requirements (ISO 12402-3:2006)’ amended by EN ISO 12402-3:2006/A1:2010 and EN ISO 12402-4:2006 ‘Personal flotation devices — Part 4: Lifejackets, performance level 100 — Safety requirements (ISO 12402-4:2006)’ amended by EN ISO 12402-4:2006/A1:2010. At the time of the objection the references of the standards were published in Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of the Council Directive 89/686/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment (3) on 11 April 2014. The standards were last published in Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of the Council Directive 89/686/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment (4) on 27 March 2018. In accordance with that Communication the harmonised standards concerned continue to confer presumption of conformity only with Directive 89/686/EEC and only until 20 April 2019. Such presumption of conformity under Directive 89/686/EEC will cease as from 21 April 2019. Further, in accordance with Article 47(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), Member States shall not impede the making available on the market of products covered by Directive 89/686/EEC which are in conformity with that Directive and which were placed on the market before 21 April 2019.

(3)

The ground of the formal objection was based on the alleged failure of the referenced standards to comply with the basic health and safety requirements of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, in particular point 1.1.1 on Design principles — Ergonomics, point 1.2.1 on Innocuousness of PPE — Absence of risks and other ‘inherent’ nuisance factors and point 3.4 on Prevention of drowning (lifejackets, armbands and lifesaving suits) with respect to inflatable lifejackets.

(4)

The formal objection lodged by Sweden refers to a workplace accident, when an inflatable lifejacket equipped with an automatic inflation device, worn by an employee who fell into cold water, did not inflate. Investigations carried out by the Swedish Work Environment Authority came to the conclusion that the lifejacket did not inflate because the gas cartridge was partially detached and thread out, due to body movements, environmental factors and operations carried out during use. If the gas cylinder detaches, the inflatable lifejacket is no longer safe and does not maintain its protective properties throughout use, therefore the product no longer protects against the risk of drowning. Other accidents or incidents have been reported to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, involving professional users and consumers, and loose or detached gas cylinders were also found in several other inflatable lifejackets. Furthermore, some brands of inflatable lifejackets have been found having no indicator window, so that during use there is no indication whether the product is safe for use or not or, where the inflatable lifejacket is equipped with an indicator window, the window is not visible to the user during use, due to its position on the lifejacket.

(5)

As a consequence, Sweden identified a shortcoming of the abovementioned harmonised standards. The shortcoming consists in the absence of requirements to ensure that the gas cartridge of the inflatable lifejacket does not detach and thread out during use, making the lifejacket losing its protective function, in particular when the user is exposed to the risk of drowning. In the absence of such requirements, it cannot be ensured that the protective function of the inflatable lifejacket is maintained under all reasonable circumstances of use and foreseeable user behaviour, regardless whether this is for private or professional use.

(6)

The Technical Committee 162 of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) (‘CEN/TC 162’) reacted to the formal objection lodged by Sweden, stating that the referred accident was not due to a shortcoming in the concerned harmonised standards. According to their assessment, the detachment of the gas cartridge was due to a defective design of the inflatable lifejacket which was not detected before placing the product on the market. If an adequate risk assessment with training and maintenance sequences for the user would have been carried out, this would have led to provide the lifejacket with a different and improved inflation device, to prevent accidents.

(7)

Sweden replied to the information provided by CEN/TC 162 stating that the problem was not due to a defective design of the inflatable lifejacket, as it was designed according to the relevant clauses of the referred harmonised standards. They reaffirmed that the problem arises because those standards do not contain specific requirements for a locking function to prevent the gas cartridge from becoming detached or loose during use, which prevented the inflatable lifejacket to provide protection against drowning.

(8)

Having examined the harmonised standards EN ISO 12402-2:2006 amended by EN ISO 12402-2:2006/A1:2010, EN ISO 12402-3:2006 amended by EN ISO 12402-3:2006/A1:2010 and EN ISO 12402-4:2006 amended by EN ISO 12402-4:2006/A1:2010, together with the representatives of Member States and stakeholders in the Personal Protective Equipment Working Party, the Commission concluded that the clauses of those harmonised standards aimed at covering the basic health and safety requirements set out in point 1.1.1. on Design principles — Ergonomics, point 1.2.1. on Innocuousness of PPE — Absence of risks and other ‘inherent’ nuisance factors and point 3.4. on Prevention of drowning (lifejackets, armbands and lifesaving suits) of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, do not adequately address the related risks, in particular the risk of drowning for inflatable lifejackets. Actually, the relevant harmonised standards do not contain specific requirements to ensure that the inflation device would correctly work under all reasonable circumstances of use and foreseeable user behaviour, in order to provide the adequate protection against the risk of drowning. Consequently, it has been found that products designed and manufactured according to those standards still caused accidents and incidents involving professional users and consumers.

(9)	Nevertheless, the Commission considers that the other clauses of the relevant harmonised standards, which are not the object of the formal objection, remain valid to confer presumption of conformity with the basic health and safety requirements of Directive 89/686/EEC they aim to cover.

(10)

Taking into account the abovementioned considerations, the references of the harmonised standards EN ISO 12402-2:2006 amended by EN ISO 12402-2:2006/A1:2010, EN ISO 12402-3:2006 amended by EN ISO 12402-3:2006/A1:2010 and EN ISO 12402-4:2006 amended EN ISO 12402-4:2006/A1:2010, published in Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of the Council Directive 89/686/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment on 27 March 2018, should be maintained with restriction in the Official Journal of the European Union. The restriction should exclude the specific clauses of those standards aimed to cover the basic health and safety requirements set out in point 1.1.1 on Design principles — Ergonomics, point 1.2.1 on Innocuousness of PPE — Absence of risks and other ‘inherent’ nuisance factors and point 3.4 on Prevention of drowning (lifejackets, armbands and lifesaving suits) of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC.

(11)	In order to ensure that the restriction applies as soon as possible, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(12)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Standards established by Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

DECISION No 1/2018 OF THE EU-UKRAINE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL

of 2 July 2018

supplementing Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part [2019/1218]

THE EU-UKRAINE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,

Having regard to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part (1), signed in Brussels on 27 June 2014,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 486 of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), parts of the Agreement, including provisions on the elimination of customs duties, and related Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement is applied provisionally as of 1 January 2016.

(2)	Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) unilaterally established a preferential arrangement which allowed for the reduction or the elimination of customs duties on goods originating in Ukraine in accordance with the Annex I of that Regulation.

(3)	Such preferential arrangement corresponded to the tariff concessions which would be applied in the course of the first year of implementation of the Agreement in accordance with Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement.

(4)	Regulation (EU) No 1150/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), inter alia introduced a clarification on the specific reduction to be applied to the base rate of customs duties for each ‘staging category’ referred to in Annex I of that Regulation.

(5)

In the interest of clarity of the Agreement an equivalent clarification is required to specify the reduction to be applied to the base rate of customs duties for all subsequent years for each ‘staging category’ referred to in Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement. Such modalities of tariff dismantlement correspond to the mutual understanding reached with Ukraine during the negotiation, and will be applied by both parties to the Agreement.

(6)	Article 463(2) of the Agreement provides that the Association Council is a forum for exchange of information on implementation and enforcement measures.

(7)	Article 463(3) of the Agreement provides that the Association Council may update or amend the Annexes to the Agreement.

(8)	It is therefore appropriate for the EU-Ukraine Association Council to adopt a decision supplementing Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

A new Appendix C is added to Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement, as set out in the Annex to this Decision to clarify the implementation of the reduction to the base rate of customs duties to be applied for all subsequent years for each ‘staging category’ referred to in Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement.

DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE No 105/2019

of 11 April 2019

amending Annex XIII (Transport) to the EEA Agreement [2019/1235]

THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2019/501 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 March 2019 on common rules ensuring basic road freight and road passenger connectivity with regard to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the Union (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

(2)

This decision relates to the incorporation, into the EEA Agreement, of EU unilateral contingency measures adopted in order to ensure the good functioning of the internal market in case of withdrawal of the UK from the EU without an agreement (no deal scenario). The EEA Agreement is not designed to address the relations between the EEA States and the UK, as a third State. Therefore, the incorporation is accepted on an exceptional basis and under condition that the application of the contingency measures is limited to the very short period of time after the withdrawal. The incorporation cannot be used as a precedent in the future and in other cases related to the EU measures affecting third countries.

(3)	Annex XIII to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The following is inserted after point 26e (Text of point deleted) of Annex XIII to the EEA Agreement:

(a)	As regards the EFTA States, Article 5 shall not apply.

(b)	In Article 11, the words “and EFTA State” shall be inserted after the words “Member State”.’
