COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/1686

of 7 July 2021

amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 as regards the evaluation of notifications by national competent authorities to the Commission and the inclusion of cicatrizants with ATC code D03AX and pharmaceutical form fly larvae in the list of medicinal products that shall not bear the safety features

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (1), and in particular Article 54a(2), points (b) and (c), thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 54a(1) of Directive 2001/83/EC provides that medical products subject to prescription are to bear the safety features referred to in Article 54, point (o), of that Directive, unless they have been listed in accordance with the procedure pursuant to Article 54a(2), point (b), of that Directive. That list is to be established considering the risk of and the risk arising from falsification relating to medicinal products or categories of medicinal products applying the criteria set out in Article 54a(2), point (b), of Directive 2001/83/EC.

(2)

Article 47 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 (2) provides that where, following a notification as referred to in Article 46 of that Regulation, the Commission or a Member State considers, on the basis of casualties or hospitalisations of citizens of the Union due to exposure to falsified medicinal products, rapid action is required to protect public health, the Commission is to assess the notification without delay and at the latest within 45 days. In order to better fulfil the objective of that Article, the reference to citizens of the Union should be replaced by a reference to people in the Union as all adverse events in the Union should be considered and monitored regardless of citizenship.

(3)

Article 46(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 establishes that national competent authorities may inform the Commission of medicinal products which they deem not to be at risk of falsification.

(4)

Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161, sets out a list of medicinal products or product categories subject to prescription that shall not bear the safety features. The product category ‘cicatrizants with ATC code D03AX’ with pharmaceutical form ‘fly larvae’ is not included in that list.

(5)

On 22 August 2019, the Commission received a notification from the competent German authority stating that it deemed the prescription medicinal product BioBag (ATC code D03AX and pharmaceutical form ‘fly larvae’) not to be at risk of falsification in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 54a(2), point (b), of Directive 2001/83/EC, and that the medicinal product should therefore be exempted from the requirement to bear safety features.

(6)

The Commission assessed the risks of and arising from falsification of the medicinal product concerned taking into account the criteria listed in Article 54a(2), point (b), of Directive 2001/83/EC. In particular, the specific characteristics and short shelf life of the pharmaceutical form fly larvae means that risk of falsification is negligible and, therefore, those criteria can be considered to be met.

(7)

The Commission consulted the expert group ‘Delegated act on safety features for medicinal products for human use’, which noted the extremely short shelf life and the fact that the product contains living organisms (3).

(8)

It is, therefore, appropriate to include the product category ‘cicatrizants with ATC code D03AX’ with pharmaceutical form ‘fly larvae’ in the list of medicinal products or product categories subject to prescription that shall not bear the safety features, set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161.

(9)

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 is amended as follows:

(1)

Article 47 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 47

Evaluation of the notifications

Where, following a notification as referred to in Article 46, the Commission or a Member State considers, on the basis of casualties or hospitalisations of persons in the Union due to exposure to falsified medicinal products, that rapid action is required to protect public health, the Commission shall assess the notification without delay and at the latest within 45 days.’;

(2)

Annex I is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

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

Done at Brussels, 7 July 2021.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1687

of 14 September 2021

registering a geographical indication of a spirit drink under Article 30(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 of the European Parliament and of the Council ‘Madarasi birspálinka’

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/787 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the definition, description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks, the use of the names of spirit drinks in the presentation and labelling of other foodstuffs, the protection of geographical indications for spirit drinks, the use of ethyl alcohol and distillates of agricultural origin in alcoholic beverages, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 (1), and in particular Article 30(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the Commission has examined Hungary’s application of 6 March 2019 for the registration of the geographical indication ‘Madarasi birspálinka’.

(2)

Regulation (EU) 2019/787, which replaces Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, entered into force on 25 May 2019. Under Article 49(1) thereof, Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 on geographical indications is repealed with effect from 8 June 2019.

(3)

After concluding that the application complied with Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, the Commission published the main specifications of the technical file in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) as required by Article 17(6) of that Regulation, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 50(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/787.

(4)

No notice of opposition has been received by the Commission under Article 27(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/787.

(5)

The name ‘Madarasi birspálinka’ should therefore be registered as a geographical indication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The geographical indication ‘Madarasi birspálinka’ is hereby entered in the register. This Regulation grants the name ‘Madarasi birspálinka’ the protection referred to in Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2019/787 in accordance with Article 30(4) of that Regulation.

Article 2

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

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

Done at Brussels, 14 September 2021.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1688

of 20 September 2021

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 as regards the lists of host plants and specified plants, and the tests for the identification of Xylella fastidiosa

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC (1), and in particular Article 28(1) and (2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 (2) has been applied since August 2020 with the aim to prevent further spread within and introduction into the Union of Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.) (‘the specified pest’).

(2)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 contains a provision on official checks at introduction into the Union. That provision refers to the official checks to be performed at the point of entry into the Union or at the place of destination established in accordance with Commission Directive 2004/103/EC (3). Within the new framework for official checks established by Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123 (5) established new rules on official checks performed at control points other than border control posts. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123 repealed Directive 2004/103/EC with effect from 14 December 2020. It is therefore appropriate to replace the reference to that Directive by a reference to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123.

(3)

On 23 June 2021, the European Food Safety Authority updated the database of host plants susceptible to Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.). Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

For reasons of transparency and clarity, it is appropriate to indicate, for each of the tests listed in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which allows direct access to the scientific articles describing those tests.

(5)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

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

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1201 is amended as follows:

(1)

in Article 33, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   All consignments of host plants, introduced into the Union from a third country, shall be officially checked at the border control post of first arrival into the Union or at a control point in the cases and conditions set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123’;

(2)

Annex I is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation;

(3)

Annex II is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation;

(4)

Annex IV is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

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

Done at Brussels, 20 September 2021.
