COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/76
of 22 September 2021
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying adjustments to the K-factor ‘daily trading flow’ (K-DTF) coefficients
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on the prudential requirements of investment firms and amending Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010, (EU) No 575/2013, (EU) No 600/2014 and (EU) No 806/2014 (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 15(5) in conjunction with point (c) of Article 15(5) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The daily trading flow (DTF) is calculated based on the volume of transactions. Circumstances leading to higher trading volumes may therefore force investment firms dealing on own account, including market makers, to reduce their trading activities. This may lead to a risk of reduced market liquidity, with potential detriments to financial stability. Consequently, as a result of those circumstances, the K-DTF coefficients should be adjusted in a way that does not disincentivise trading activities. Where circumstances lead to lower trading volume, those considerations do not apply and therefore, the adjustments to the K-DTF coefficients should be based only on the trades volumes occurring during periods of high volatility. |
|
(2) |
If the K-DTF requirements in stressed market conditions are overly restrictive and detrimental to financial stability, the coefficient referred to in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 should be adjusted to be smaller than the one provided in Table 1 of that Article, in order to avoid making the K-DTF a disincentive to trading. |
|
(3) |
Given that point (c) of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 refers to stressed market conditions as referred to in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/578 (2), the start and end time of the periods of stressed market conditions should be in line with Article 6(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/578 on the identification of stressed market conditions by a trading venue. |
|
(4) |
For the purposes of calculating the adjusted K-DTF, stressed market conditions should cover cases where short-term changes in trading volume and price have a significant impact for the calculation for the K-DTF. As stressed market conditions may last for an indeterminate period of time, including periods as short as a few minutes, the adjusted coefficients should be capable of reflecting the value of the daily trading flow that takes place during periods of any different duration. |
|
(5) |
This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by the European Banking Authority after having consulted the European Securities and Markets Authority. |
|
(6) |
The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Adjustments to the K-DTF coefficients
1. The adjustments to the K-DTF coefficients referred to in Table 1 of Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 shall in the event that in stressed market condition as referred to in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/578 the K-DTF requirements seem overly restrictive and detrimental to financial stability as referred to in point (c) of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033, be determined using the following formula:
|
(a) |
for the coefficient of the K-DTF cash trades: Cadj = C * (DTFexcl/DTFincl) where:
|
|
(b) |
for the coefficient of the K-DTF derivatives: Cadj = C * (DTFexcl/DTFincl) where:
|
The calculation of DTFexcl shall include only the value of daily trading flow that relates to financial instruments or underlyings of financial instruments traded on a trading segment within the relevant trading venue during an event for which a stressed market condition has been deemed to occur by that trading venue.
Article 2
Period of stressed market condition
For the purposes of Article 1, an event of stressed market condition means a situation where the parameters referred to in Article 6(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/578 are met and where those stressed market conditions lead to increased trading volumes.
The start and end time of an event of stressed market condition shall be the time which the trading venue has identified in accordance with Article 6(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/578.
Article 3
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2022/78
of 19 January 2022
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for dazomet, hexythiazox, metam and methylisothiocyanate in or on certain products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For dazomet, hexythiazox and metam, maximum residue levels (‘MRLs’) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(2) |
For dazomet and metam, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) submitted reasoned opinions on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It proposed a revised common residue definition based on methylisothiocyanate, the main metabolite for dazomet and metam. The residue definition should therefore be changed accordingly. The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for grapefruits, oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, apples, pears, quinces, medlars, loquats/Japanese medlars, apricots, cherries (sweet), peaches, plums, table and wine grapes, blackberries, dewberries, raspberries (red and yellow), blueberries, cranberries, currants (black, red and white), gooseberries (green, red and yellow), rose hips, mulberries (black and white), azaroles/Mediterranean medlars, elderberries, figs, table olives, kumquats, kaki/Japanese persimmons, kiwi fruits (green, red, yellow), prickly pears/cactus fruits, avocados, mangoes and granate apples/pomegranates. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for strawberries, beetroots, carrots, celeriacs/turnip rooted celeries, horseradishes, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley roots/Hamburg roots parsley, radishes, salsifies, swedes/rutabagas, turnips, tomatoes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, aubergines/eggplants, okra/lady’s fingers, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, pumpkins, watermelons, Chinese cabbages/pe-tsai, kales, lamb’s lettuces/corn salads, lettuces, escaroles/broad-leaved endives, cresses and other sprouts and shoots, land cresses, Roman rocket/rucola, red mustards, baby leaf crops (including brassica species), spinaches, purslanes, chards/beet leaves, herbal infusions from roots and hops, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should also be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within 2 years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(3) |
For hexythiazox, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It proposed to change the residue definition. The residue definition should therefore be changed accordingly. The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for grapefruits, oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, chestnuts, coconuts, hazelnuts/cobnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nut kernels, pistachios, walnuts, apples, pears, quinces, medlars, loquats/Japanese medlars, peaches, blackberries, dewberries, raspberries (red and yellow), blueberries, cranberries, currants (black, red and white), gooseberries (green, red and yellow), rose hips, mulberries (black and white), azaroles/Mediterranean medlars, elderberries, tomatoes, sweet peppers/bell peppers, aubergines/eggplants, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, melons, pumpkins, watermelons, maize/corn and hops. For other products, it recommended raising or keeping the existing MRLs. The MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. The Authority also concluded that concerning the MRLs for apricots, cherries (sweet), plums, soybeans and products of animal origin, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within 2 years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(4) |
Existing Codex maximum residue limits (CXLs) were taken into account in the reasoned opinions of the Authority. CXLs, which are safe for consumers in the Union were considered for MRL setting. |
|
(5) |
As regards products on which the use of the plant protection product concerned is not authorised, and for which no import tolerances or CXLs exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of determination (‘LOD’) or the default MRL should apply, as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(6) |
The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of pesticides as regards the need to adapt certain LODs. As regards several substances, those laboratories concluded that, for certain commodities, technical development requires the setting of specific LODs. |
|
(7) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(8) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account. |
|
(9) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(10) |
In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. |
|
(11) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |
|
(12) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Articles 230(1) and 232(1) thereof.
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2016/429 requires that consignments of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin must come from a third country or territory, or zone or compartment thereof, listed in accordance with Article 230(1) of that Regulation in order to enter the Union. |
|
(2) |
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 (2) lays down the animal health requirements with which consignments of certain species and categories of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin from third countries or territories, or zones thereof, or compartments thereof, in the case of aquaculture animals, must comply with in order to enter the Union. |
|
(3) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 (3) establishes the lists of third countries, or territories, or zones or compartments thereof, from which the entry into the Union of the species and categories of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin falling within the scope of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 is permitted. |
|
(4) |
More particularly, Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 set out the lists of third countries, or territories, or zones thereof authorised for the entry into the Union, respectively, of consignments of poultry, germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat from poultry and game birds. |
|
(5) |
The United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in captive birds. The outbreak is located near Washington, Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, England and was confirmed on 11 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(6) |
Furthermore, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Buckfastleigh, Teignbridge, Devon, England and was confirmed on 22 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(7) |
Additionally, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreaks are located near Watlington, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England and near North Somercotes, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England and were confirmed on 28 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(8) |
Moreover, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Romsey, Test Valley, Hampshire, England and was confirmed on 30 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(9) |
In addition, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreaks are located near Mablethorpe, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire England and near Louth, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England and were confirmed on 31 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(10) |
Futhermore, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in captive birds. The outbreak is located near Eton, Windsor & Birkenhead, Berkshire, England, and was confirmed on 2 January 2022 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(11) |
Additionally, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Alford, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England and was confirmed on 3 January 2022 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|

|
(14) |
Furthermore, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Upholland, West Lancashire, Lancashire, England and was confirmed on 7 January 2022 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). |
|
(15) |
The veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom established a 10 km control zone around the affected establishments and implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza and limit the spread of that disease. |
|
(16) |
The United Kingdom has submitted information to the Commission on the epidemiological situation on its territory and the measures it has taken to prevent the further spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. That information has been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, the entry into the Union of consigments of poultry, germinal products of poultry, and fresh meat from poultry and game birds from the areas under restrictions established by the veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom due to the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza should no longer be authorised. |
|
(17) |
Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should be therefore amended accordingly. |
|
(18) |
Taking into account the current epidemiological situation in the United Kingdom as regards highly pathogenic avian influenza and its serious risk of introduction into the Union, the amendments to be made to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by this Regulation should take effect as a matter of urgency. |
|
(19) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/81
of 18 January 2022
amending Implementing Decision 2009/1008/EU authorising the Republic of Latvia to extend the application of a measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Council Decision 2006/42/EC (2) authorised Latvia to apply a special measure derogating from Article 21(1), point (a), of Directive 77/388/EEC (3), to designate the recipient as the person liable to pay value added tax (VAT) on the supply of timber or on the provision of related services until 31 December 2009. By Council Implementing Decision 2009/1008/EU (4) Latvia was, by way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, authorised to continue to designate the recipient of timber or related services as the person liable to pay VAT in the case of timber transactions until 31 December 2012 (‘the special measure’). Following successive extensions, that authorisation is due to expire on 31 December 2021 (5). |
|
(2) |
By letter registered with the Commission on 4 April 2021, Latvia requested the authorisation to continue to apply the special measure. Along with that letter, Latvia submitted a report on the application of that special measure. |
|
(3) |
In accordance with Article 395(2), second subparagraph, of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letters dated 9 August 2021, and Spain by letter dated 10 August 2021, of the request made by Latvia. By letter dated 10 August 2021, the Commission notified Latvia that it had all the information necessary for the appraisal of the request. |
|
(4) |
According to Latvia, the timber market, which is one of the most important sectors of its economy, is particularly sensitive to VAT fraud, because it is dominated by a great number of small local operators and individual suppliers. The nature of the market and of businesses involved has generated VAT fraud, which the Latvian tax authorities have found difficult to control. In order to combat that abuse, the Latvian tax authorities have introduced the reverse charge mechanism for the payment of VAT in timber transactions, which has proven to be very effective and has decreased fraud in that market significantly, according to the report submitted by Latvia. |
|
(5) |
Special measures for derogation are in general granted for a limited period of time to allow an assessment whether the special measure is appropriate and effective. Special measures for derogation grant Member States time to introduce other conventional measures at national level to monitor the movement of materials, the payment of VAT, and the compliance of taxable persons, which conventional measures should tackle the respective problem until the expiry of the special measure, thus making an extension of the special measure redundant. A derogation allowing making use of the reverse charge procedure is granted only exceptionally for specific fraudulent areas and constitutes a means of last resort. Therefore, before the expiry of the extension of the special measure under this Implementing Decision, Latvia should implement other conventional measures to fight and prevent VAT fraud in the timber market so that another extension of the special measure would no longer be needed. |
|
(6) |
Latvia should therefore be authorised to apply the special measure only until 31 December 2024. |
|
(7) |
In order to avoid disruptive effects, Latvia should be allowed to apply the special measure without interruption. The authorisation requested should therefore be granted with effect from 1 January 2022, in order to follow seamlessly on from the prior arrangements under Implementing Decision 2009/1008/EU. |
|
(8) |
The special measure will have no adverse impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT. |
|
(9) |
Implementing Decision 2009/1008/EU should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Article 2 of Implementing Decision 2009/1008/EU is replaced by the following:
‘Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 2024.’.
Article 2
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.

ANNEX 2
Arrangements of the approval marks
MODEL A
(See paragraphs 4.1.4 and 4.2.4 of this Regulation)
a = 8 mm min
The above approval mark affixed to a vehicle shows that the vehicle type concerned has been approved in the Netherlands (E 4) pursuant to UN Regulation No 26 and under approval number 042439. The first two digits of the approval number indicate that UN Regulation No 26 already included the 04 series of amendments when the approval was granted.
MODEL B
(See paragraph 4.1.5 of this Regulation)
a = 8 mm min
The above approval mark affixed to a vehicle shows that the vehicle type concerned has been approved in the Netherlands (E 4) pursuant to UN Regulation No 26 and UN Regulation No 24. (1) The first two digits of the approval numbers indicate that, at the dates when the respective approvals were given, UN Regulation No 26 included the 04 series of amendments, while UN Regulation No 24 already included the 03 series of amendments.
(1) The second Regulation number is given merely as an example.
ANNEX 3
Methods of determining the dimensions of projections and gaps
1.
Method of determining the height of the projection of folds in body panels
1.1.
The height H of a projection is determined graphically by reference to the circumference of a 165 mm diameter circle, internally tangential to the external outline of the external surface at the section to be checked.
1.2.
H is the maximum value of the distance, measured along a straight line passing through the centre of the 165 mm diameter circle between the circumference of the aforesaid circle and the external contour of the projection (see Fig.1).
1.3.
In cases where it is not possible for a 100 mm diameter circle to contact externally part of the external outline of the external surface at the section under consideration, the surface outline in this area will be assumed to be that formed by the circumference of the 100 mm diameter circle between its tangent points with the external outline (see Fig.2).
1.4.
Drawings of the necessary sections through the external surface shall be provided by the manufacturer to allow the height of the projections referred to above to be measured.
2.
Method of determining the dimension of the projection of a component mounted on the external surface
2.1.
The dimension of the projection of a component which is mounted on a convex surface may be determined either directly or by reference to a drawing of an appropriate section of this component in its installed condition.
2.2.
If the dimension of the projection of a component which is mounted on a surface other than convex cannot be determined by simple measurement, it shall be determined by the maximum variation of the distance of the centre of a 100 mm diameter sphere from the nominal line of the panel when the sphere is moved over and is in constant contact with that component. Figure 3 shows an example of the use of this procedure.
3.
Method of determining the projection of headlamp visors and rims
3.1.
The projection from the external surface of the headlamp shall be measured horizontally from the point of contact of a 100 mm diameter sphere as shown in Figure 4.
4.
Method of determining the dimension of a gap or the space between elements of a grille
4.1.
The dimension of a gap or space between elements of a grille shall be determined by the distance between two planes passing through the points of contact of the sphere and perpendicular to the line joining those points of contact. Figures 5 and 6 show examples of the use of this procedure.
