COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1756

of 23 October 2019

amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 as regards the inclusion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the list of third countries authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of hay and straw

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Directive 97/78/EC lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Union from third countries. Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which are to be subjected to border veterinary checks since they can present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases to the Union, and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union.

(3)

Accordingly, Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (3) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks, while Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw.

(4)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country to comply with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 for the introduction into the Union of consignments of commodities of hay and straw from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(5)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be included in the list of countries set out in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of hay and straw.

(6)

Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

This Regulation should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(8)

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

Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 November 2019.

However, it shall not apply if Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

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

amending Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/659 as regards the inclusion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies in the list of third countries and parts of the territory of third countries from which the entry into the Union of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of equidae is authorised

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 3(2) and Article 9(1)(c) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (3), and in particular Article 2(i), Article 12(1), (4) and (5), Article 13(2), Articles 15, 16, 17 and 19 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (4) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Directive 2009/156/EC lays down the animal health requirements governing imports into the Union of equidae. It provides that only equidae that come from a third country or part of a third country on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive, and accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, may be imported into the Union.

(3)

Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing imports into the Union of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species. It provides that only commodities that come from a third country or part of a third country on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive and accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, may be imported into the Union. The health certificate must attest that the commodities come from approved collection and storage centres or collection and production teams offering guarantees at least equivalent to those established in Annex D(I) to that Directive.

(4)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/659 (5) establishes, inter alia, the list of third countries and parts of the territory of third countries from which Member States authorise the entry of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of equidae.

(5)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country and for its Crown Dependencies for certain commodities to comply with the conditions laid down in Directives 2009/156/EC and 92/65/EEC, and in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/659 for the entry into the Union of consignments of equidae and of semen, ova and embryos of equidae from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(6)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption of trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies should be included in the list of third countries and parts of the territory of third countries set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/659 from which the entry of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of equidae is authorised.

(7)

As regards the health status of equidae in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Crown Dependencies, these countries should be assigned to sanitary group A, and all types of entry and the entry of all categories of equidae should be allowed.

(8)

Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/659 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

This Regulation should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(10)

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

On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (3) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4) lays down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products (the commodities) may be imported into and transit through the Union and the veterinary certification requirements. It provides that the commodities are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

(3)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country and certain of its Crown Dependencies to comply with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 for the introduction into the Union of consignments of the commodities from the withdrawal date, by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(4)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and certain of its Crown Dependencies should be included in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of the commodities.

(5)

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

This Regulation should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(7)

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

Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 shall be amended in accordance with the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 November 2019.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DECISION (EU) 2019/1764

of 14 March 2019

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the applicable systems to assess and verify constancy of performance of balustrade kits and railing kits intended to be used in construction works solely to prevent falls and not submitted to vertical loads from the structure

(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 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 28(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

An appropriate decision for assessment and verification of constancy of performance does not exist for balustrade kits and railing kits intended to be used in construction works solely to prevent falls and not submitted to vertical loads from the structure. It is therefore necessary to establish which systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance are applicable to those balustrade kits and railing kits.

(2)

Taking into account the experience on the behaviour of the products in question during their working life, as depicted in the survey carried out on the reasons for failures of these products, the assessment of their performance regarding all essential characteristics, except reaction to fire, should be carried out by the manufacturer before placing the product on the market. More onerous systems are not necessary. For the reaction to fire performance, the choice of systems 1, 3 or 4 should be considered appropriate by making reference to different subfamilies of products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

This Decision applies to balustrade kits and railing kits intended to be used in construction works solely to prevent falls and not submitted to vertical loads from the structure.

Article 2

The balustrade kits and railing kits referred to in Article 1 shall be assessed and verified for constancy of performance in relation to their essential characteristics in accordance with the systems specified in the Annex.

Article 3

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION 2019/1765

of 22 October 2019

providing the rules for the establishment, the management and the functioning of the network of national authorities responsible for eHealth, and repealing Implementing Decision 2011/890/EU

(notified under document C(2019) 7460)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare (1), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 14 of Directive 2011/24/EU assigned the Union to support and facilitate cooperation and the exchange of information among Member States working within a voluntary network connecting national authorities responsible for eHealth (the ‘eHealth Network’) designated by the Member States.

(2)

Commission Implementing Decision 2011/890/EU (2) provides rules for the establishment, the management and the functioning of the eHealth Network.

(3)

That decision does not at the moment provide appropriate rules with regard to certain aspects necessary for the sufficiently transparent functioning of the eHealth Network, in particular, on the role of the eHealth Network and the Commission in relation to the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services, and the new requirements on data protection under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the ‘General Data Protection Regulation’) (3), and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

(4)

The transparent management of the eHealth Network should be ensured by laying down rules on becoming a member of the eHealth Network and withdrawing from it. Participation in the eHealth Network being voluntary, the Member States should be able to join at any time. For organisational purposes, the Member States wishing to participate should inform the Commission of this intention in advance.

(5)

Electronic communication is a suitable means for rapid and reliable exchange of data between Member States participating in the eHealth Network. In this area, significant developments took place. In particular, in order to facilitate the interoperability of European eHealth systems, the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services was developed by those Member States participating in the eHealth Network which decided to advance their cooperation in this area with the support of the Commission, as an IT tool for the exchange of health data under the Connecting Europe Facility programme (5). These developments should be reflected in this Decision. Moreover, as stressed in the Commission Communication of 25 April 2018 on enabling the digital transformation of health and care in the Digital Single Market, empowering citizens and building a healthier society (6), the respective role of the participating Member States and of the Commission in relation to the functioning of the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services should be clarified.

(6)

The role of the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services should be to facilitate the cross-border exchange of health data between the Member States participating in the eHealth Network as recognised in the 2017 Council Conclusions on Health in the Digital Society (7) such as patient data contained in ePrescriptions and Patient Summaries and eventually more comprehensive electronic health records, as well as to develop other use cases and health information domains.

(7)

The eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services is composed of core services and generic services as provided for in Regulation (EU) No 283/2014 of the European Parliament of the Council (8). The core services are developed, deployed and maintained by the European Commission. Together with the generic services, they should enable and support trans-European connectivity. The generic services are developed, deployed and maintained by the National Contact Points for eHealth, designated by each Member State. The National Contact Points for eHealth, using the generic services, link the national infrastructure with the National Contact Points for eHealth from another Member State through the core service platforms.

(8)

In order to improve cross-border exchange of health data and achieve technical, semantic, and organisational interoperability between national eHealth systems, the eHealth Network should in the context of eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services, play the leading role in the elaboration and coordination of the necessary common requirements and specifications.

(9)

The eHealth Network is already carrying out several activities in e-health area, which are spelled out in its Multiannual Work Programme and are aimed mainly at providing guidance, sharing good practices or finding common ways of working together. Among these activities are, for instance: working to enable citizens to take an active role in the management of their own health data, including in the area of e-health, m-health and telemedicine, as well as patients’ access, use and share of their own health data and digital health literacy of patients. Other activities of the Network are related to the innovative use of health data, including Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, developing knowledge on healthcare policy, including the provision, in cooperation with the concerned parties at national and EU level, of guidance on health promotion, disease prevention and improved delivery of healthcare through better use of health data. The Network supports Member States to enable sharing and using health and medical data for public health and research. In line with Article 14(2)(c) of Directive 2011/24/EU, it also supports Member States in developing electronic identification means and authentication to facilitate transferability of data in cross-border healthcare, in particular as regards eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services, taking into account the eIDAS framework and other ongoing actions at Union level.

(10)

The eHealth Network is also working on enhancing the continuity of care by improving the uptake of cross-border e-health services, developing new use cases and health information domains in addition to patient summary and e-prescriptions, as well as overcoming implementation challenges, related to interoperability, data protection, data security or e-skills for healthcare professionals. It also facilitates greater interoperability of the national information and communications technology systems and cross-border transferability of electronic health data in cross-border healthcare by providing guidance on which requirements and specifications should be used to achieve technical, semantic and organisational interoperability between national digital healthcare systems. The Network is working to foster stronger cooperation with regard to the development and sharing of good practices concerning national digital health strategies, with the view of building convergence for an e-health interoperable system.

(11)

When preparing guidance concerning security aspects of data exchange, the eHealth Network should benefit from the expertise of the Network and Information Security (NIS) Cooperation Group established under Article 11 of Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9), and the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA).

(12)

The eHealth Network is also promoting the exchange of views among its Members on national strategic challenges with regard to new technologies and data usages and it should promote discussions with other relevant Union fora (such as the Steering Group on Health Promotion, Disease Prevention and Management of Non-Communicable Diseases or Board of Member States for European Reference Networks) on priorities, strategic orientations and their implementation.

(13)

On 6 February 2019, the Commission adopted a Recommendation on a European Electronic Health Record exchange format (10) (the ‘Commission Recommendation’). In order to support the take-up, further development and to facilitate the use of the European Electronic Health Record exchange format, the eHealth Network, working together with the Commission, stakeholders, clinicians, patients’ representatives, and the relevant authorities, is expected to develop guidance, further support the development and the monitoring of the electronic health records exchange format and support the Member States in ensuring the privacy and security of data exchange. In order to strengthen the interoperability, the Network developed investment guidelines (11), which recommend to take account of the standards and specifications referred to in the Commission Recommendation in particular for the purpose of procurement procedures.

(14)

Since eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services is an important element of the Network’s functioning, the role of the eHealth Network in the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services and in other shared European eHealth services should be clarified in order to ensure transparent functioning of the Network.

(15)

In order to ensure the effective exchange of health data among Member States, the eHealth Network should be able to work towards enabling Member States to such exchange. In particular, based on fulfilment of predefined requirements and tests provided by and of audits carried by the Commission and, if possible, other experts, the eHealth Network should have a possibility to agree on the organisational, semantic and technical readiness of candidate Member States to exchange validated comprehensive electronic health data for the adopted use cases through their respective National Contact Point for eHealth and their continued compliance in that respect.

(16)

For an effective and transparent functioning of the Network, rules should be laid down on the adoption of the Rules of Procedure and multiannual work programme, as well as the creation of subgroups in order to ensure the effective functioning of the eHealth Network. The Rules of Procedure should specify the procedure for the decisions concerning the exchange of personal data through the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services, as described above.

(17)

Interested Members of the eHealth Network may advance their cooperation in areas covered by the tasks of the Network. Such cooperation is Member State driven and voluntary in nature. This is the case for the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services and may also be the case for other shared European eHealth Services developed in the framework of the eHealth Network. Where Member States choose to advance their cooperation, they should agree on and commit to the rules of that cooperation.

(18)

In order to further ensure the transparent functioning of the eHealth Network, its relation with the Commission should be set out, in particular in relation to the tasks of the eHealth Network and the Commission’s role in the cross-border exchange of health data through the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services.

(19)

Processing of personal data of patients, representatives of Member States, experts and observers participating in the eHealth Network, which is done under the responsibility of the Member States or other public organisations or bodies in the Member States, should be carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (12). Personal data of representatives of national authorities responsible for eHealth, other representatives of Member States, experts and observers participating in the eHealth Network shall be processed by the Commission in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. Processing of personal data for the purpose of managing and ensuring the security of the core services of the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services done under the responsibility of the Commission should comply with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.

(20)

The Member States, represented by the relevant National Authorities or other designated bodies, determine together the purpose and means of processing of personal data through the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services and are therefore controllers. The respective responsibilities between controllers should be defined in a separate arrangement. The Commission, as provider of technical and organisational solutions of the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services, processes encrypted patients’ personal data on behalf of the Member States between the national Contact Points for eHealth and is therefore a processor. According to Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation and Article 29 of the Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the processing by a processor shall be governed by a contract or a legal act under Union or Member State law that is binding on the processor with regard to the controller and that specifies the processing. This Decision sets rules governing the processing by the Commission as a processor.

(21)

In order to ensure equal access rights on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the Commission should be regarded as the controller of personal data relating to the management of access rights to the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure for Cross-Border eHealth Information Services’ core services.

(22)

In order to make reimbursement procedures transparent, rules on the expenses of participants in the activities of the eHealth Network should be set.

(23)

Implementing Decision 2011/890/EU should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Decision for reasons of legal certainty and clarity.

(24)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up under Article 16 of Directive 2011/24/EU,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1766

of 23 October 2019

amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 as regards harmonised standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017 for numerically controlled boring and routing machines

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 7 of Directive 2006/42/EC, machinery manufactured in conformity with a harmonised standard, the references to which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, is to be presumed to comply with the essential health and safety requirements covered by such a harmonised standard.

(2)

By letter M/396 of 19 December 2006 the Commission made a request to CEN and CENELEC for the drafting, the revision and the completion of the work on harmonised standards in support of Directive 2006/42/EC to take account of changes introduced by that Directive in comparison with Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

(3)

On the basis of the request M/396 of 19 December 2006, CEN drafted the new harmonised standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017.

(4)

The Commission together with the CEN has assessed whether the EN ISO 19085-3:2017 drafted by the CEN comply with the request M/396 of 19 December 2006.

(5)

In December 2017, Germany raised a formal objection in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 2006/42/EC in respect of standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017 ’Woodworking machines – Safety requirements – Part 3: Numerically controlled (NC) boring and routing machines’.

(6)

The formal objection raised by Germany is based on the failure of point 6.6.2.2.3.1 of standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017, dealing with the prevention of access to tools and other moving parts of the machine, to comply with the essential health and safety requirements set out in point 1.4.1 of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC.

(7)

Having examined the standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017 together with the representatives of the committee established by Article 22 of Directive 2006/42/EC and the representatives of the committee established by Article 22 of the Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the Commission concluded that the standard fails to meet one of the essential health and safety requirements set out in point 1.4.1. of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC, namely the requirement stating that guards and protective devices must not be easy to by-pass. In particular, the standard includes technical specifications for the access to the moving parts of the machine through the area between the machine frame and the lateral machine fences, but it does not address the design or protection of the machine frame itself, which in some cases may be low enough to be by-passed. Standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017 should therefore be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with restriction.

(8)

References of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2006/42/EC are published in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 (4). In order to ensure that all references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2006/42/EC are listed in the same act, the reference of standard EN ISO 19085-3:2017 should be included in an Annex to that Decision. Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such standard in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the date of its publication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1767

of 23 October 2019

amending Annexes I and III to Decision 2010/472/EU as regards the inclusion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the lists of third countries or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the Union of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the ovine and caprine species

(notified under document C(2019) 7635)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(2)(b), Article 17(3), the first indent of Article 18(1), and the introductory phrase and point (b) of Article 19 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Decision 2010/472/EU (3) sets out in its Annex I a list of third countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of consignments of semen of animals of the ovine and caprine species and in its Annex III a list of third countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of consignments of ova and embryos of animals of the ovine and caprine species.

(3)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country to comply with the conditions laid down in Decision 2010/472/EU for the introduction into the Union of consignments of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the ovine and caprine species from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(4)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be included in the lists of third countries or parts thereof set out in Annexes I and III to Decision 2010/472/EU authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the ovine and caprine species.

(5)

Annexes I and III to Decision 2010/472/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(7)

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

Annexes I and III to Decision 2010/472/EU shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply from 1 November 2019.

However, it shall not apply if Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1768

of 23 October 2019

amending Annex I to Decision 2006/168/EC as regards the inclusion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and certain of its Crown Dependencies in the list of third countries authorised for the introduction into the European Union of bovine embryos

(notified under document C(2019) 7636)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 7(1) and Article 9(1)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Decision 2006/168/EC (3) sets out in its Annex I a list of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of bovine embryos.

(3)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country and certain of its Crown Dependencies to comply with the conditions laid down in Decision 2006/168/EC for the introduction into the Union of consignments of bovine embryos from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(4)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and certain of its Crown Dependencies should be included in the list of third countries set out in Annex I to Decision 2006/168/EC authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of bovine embryos.

(5)

Annex I to Decision 2006/168/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

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:

amending Decision 2009/821/EC as regards the lists of border inspection posts and veterinary units in Traces

(notified under document C(2019) 7637)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary checks applicable in intra-Union trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) and Article 6(5) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (3), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (4) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Decision 2009/821/EC (5) lays down the list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC and the list of central, regional and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces). Those lists are respectively set out in Annex I and Annex II to that Decision.

(3)

Following the proposal from Belgium, the approval of the border inspection post at Zeebrugge port should be extended to unpacked products for human consumption. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(4)

Following the proposal from Denmark, a new inspection centre should be listed at the border inspection post at Esbjerg port for the inspection of packed products. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(5)

Following the proposal from Ireland, the approval of the border inspection post at Dublin airport should be extended to packed products and to certain categories of animals, the approval of the border inspection post at Dublin port should be extended to certain categories of animals and to unpacked products for human consumption, a new border inspection post at Rosslare port should be approved for animals and products and the approval of the border inspection post at Shannon should be extended to all categories of equidae. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(6)

Following the proposal from Spain, the suspension of the border inspection post for products for human consumption at Santander port should be lifted. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(7)

Following the proposal from France, new border inspection posts at Caen-Ouistreham port, Calais port and rail, Cherbourg port, Dieppe port, Roscoff port and Saint-Malo port should be approved for certain categories of products or certain categories of animals. In addition, the approval of the border inspection post at Dunkerque port should be extended to unpacked products for human consumption. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(8)

Following the proposal from the Netherlands, two new inspection centres should be listed at the border inspection post at Rotterdam port for the inspection of certain categories of products. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(9)

Annexes I and II to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)

of 23 October 2019

amending the Annexes to Decision 2006/766/EC as regards the inclusion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies in the lists of third countries and territories authorised for the introduction into the Union of bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and fishery products for human consumption

(notified under document C(2019) 7639)

(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 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 provides that products of animal origin are only to be imported from a third country or part of a third country that appears on a list drawn up in accordance with that Regulation.

(3)

Commission Decision 2006/766/EC (3) lists those third countries which satisfy the criteria referred to in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 and are therefore able to guarantee that exports of those products to the Union meet the sanitary conditions laid down in Union legislation to protect the health of consumers.

(4)

In particular, Annex I to that Decision sets out a list of third countries authorised for the introduction of bivalve molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms and marine gastropods and Annex II to that Decision sets out a list of third countries and territories authorised for the introduction of fishery products for human consumption. Those lists also indicate restrictions concerning such imports from certain third countries.

(5)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country and its Crown Dependencies to comply with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 for the introduction into the Union of consignments of bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and fishery products for human consumption from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(6)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies should be included in the lists of third countries and territories set out in Decision 2006/766/EC authorised for the introduction of bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and fishery products for human consumption.

(7)

Annexes I and II to Decision 2006/766/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(9)

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

Annexes I and II to Decision 2006/766/EC shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

(notified under document C(2019) 7641)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit residue monitoring plans providing required guarantees (‘the plans’). The plans should cover at least the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I to that Directive.

(3)

Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (3) approves the plans submitted by certain third countries concerning specified animal and animal products listed in the Annex to that Decision.

(4)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has submitted the plans for that country for bovine, ovine/caprine, porcine, equine, poultry, aquaculture, milk, eggs, rabbit, wild game, farmed game and honey to the Commission, and for its Crown Dependencies for certain of the above commodities. Those plans provide sufficient guarantees and should be approved.

(5)

Therefore, in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies should be included in the list of third countries set out in Decision 2011/163/EU for which the plans are approved for the relevant commodities. The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(7)

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

The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

(notified under document C(2019) 7642)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

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 (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point (1) and point (4) of Article 8 and Article 9(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Decision 2007/777/EC (3) lays down, inter alia, the conditions for the introduction into the Union of consignments of certain meat products and of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines which have undergone one of the treatments laid down in Part 4 of Annex II thereto (‘the commodities’), including a list of third countries or parts thereof from which the introduction into the Union of the commodities is authorised.

(3)

Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the list of third countries or parts thereof which are authorised for the introduction into the Union of the commodities, provided that they have undergone the relevant treatment referred to in that Part of Annex II. Those treatments are aimed at eliminating certain animal health risks linked to the specific commodities. Part 4 of that Annex sets out a non-specific treatment ‘A’ and specific treatments ‘B’ to ‘F’ listed in descending order of severity of the animal health risk linked to the specific commodity.

(4)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has provided the necessary guarantees for that country and for its Crown Dependencies for certain commodities to comply with the conditions laid down in Decision 2007/777/EC for the introduction into the Union of consignments of commodities for human consumption with treatment "A" from the withdrawal date by continuing to comply with Union legislation for an initial period of at least nine months.

(5)

Therefore, taking into account these specific guarantees provided by the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade after the withdrawal date, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies, should be included in the list of third countries and parts thereof set out in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of the commodities.

(6)

Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1773

of 23 October 2019

amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies

(notified under document C(2019) 7643)

(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 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (2) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides that Member States, third countries or regions thereof are to be classified according to their bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status into one of three categories: negligible BSE risk, controlled BSE risk and undetermined BSE risk.

(3)

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has submitted an application to the Commission for its BSE status to be determined, indicating it also covers its Crown Dependencies. That application was accompanied by the relevant information for that country and its Crown Dependencies on the criteria and potential risk factors provided for in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.

(4)

Scotland is currently classified into the negligible risk category but a new case of BSE has been confirmed in that region of the United Kingdom on 18 October 2018. Scotland therefore does not comply anymore with the requirements set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 as regards the negligible risk category. Scotland should therefore be classified into the controlled risk category.

(5)

Considering its BSE status, Northern Ireland can be considered as having negligible risk, while the rest of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies can be considered as having controlled BSE risk.

(6)

Therefore, taking into account the specific information mentioned above and in order to avoid unnecessary disruption of trade from the withdrawal date, Northern Ireland should be included in the list of regions of third countries in point A of the Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC (3) and the rest of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its Crown Dependencies should be included in point B of that Annex in relation to the classification of countries or regions according to their BSE status. The Annex to that Decision should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019. It should however not apply if Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(8)

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 Decision 2007/453/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply from 1 November 2019.

However, it shall not apply if Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
