COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/964

of 10 June 2022

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’

(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 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 44(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 1 September 2017, SOPURA N.V. submitted an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘SOPUROXID’ of product-types 2, 3 and 4, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of Belgium had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-KV033704-17 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(2)

‘SOPUROXID’ contains peracetic acid, as the active substance, which is included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3)

On 27 August 2020, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’).

(4)

On 31 March 2021, the Agency submitted to the Commission an opinion (2), including the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘SOPUROXID’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(5)

The opinion concludes that ‘SOPUROXID’ is a ‘biocidal product family’ within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of that Regulation.

(6)

On 28 April 2021, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(7)

The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for ‘SOPUROXID’.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0026179-0000 is granted to SOPURA N.V. for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.

The Union authorisation is valid from 12 July 2022 until 30 June 2032.

5.   GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE (1) OF THE META SPC 1

5.1.   Instructions for use

1.

All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure

2.

Disinfection cycle:

Products must be diluted in potable water before use.

Dilution rate & contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Final rinsing (with potable water) is mandatory: after the disinfection procedure, treated surfaces are rinsed with water and the water is drained into the sewer system. For exceptions, please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Only for use in areas that are inaccessible to the general public and companion animals.

No access for the general public during treatment.

Disinfection procedures by CIP: Final rinsing step (with potable water).

After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed system conditions

Disinfection procedures by dipping: The bath is not intended to be re-used. Use the bath only once a day after work & replace it by a fresh solution daily.

Disinfection procedures by spraying: the surfaces to be disinfected must be wet enough in order to keep them wet during the required contact time for optimal disinfection. Then, the user should pay attention to wet surfaces completely with the disinfectant solution.

The Application Rate for spraying of diluted product must be between 20 and 30 mL/m2

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3.   Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two theoretical products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

Ø   General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Ø   Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Ø   Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Ø   Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ø   Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Ø   Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Ø   Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Ø   Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4.   Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

The shelf life of the biocidal product is 6 months.

The products must be stored at temperatures below + 30 °C.

5.   GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE (2) OF THE META SPC 2

5.1.   Instructions for use

1.

All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure.

For exceptions, please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

2.

Disinfection cycle:

Products must be diluted in potable water before use.

Dilution rate & contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Final rinsing (with potable water) is mandatory: after the disinfection procedure, treated surfaces are rinsed with water and the water is drained into the sewer system. For exceptions, please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Meta SPC2: Disinfection procedures by fogging

The product SOPUROXID 3.2 is a liquid disinfectant to be applied (after dilution at 40 %) by fogging for airborne surface disinfection and to be used indoor by professional users only.

Always check compatibility of the products with the hard/non-porous surfaces to be disinfected.

The product SOPUROXID 3.2 has been developed and demonstrated as efficacious (via efficacy studies performed according to the NF T 72 281 standard), using one device HYSPRAY, for rooms with a volume between 30 & 150 m3 (volume per application and per device) with a flow rate of 0,047 mL/min/m3.

The use of other devices is possible. They must be designed to work with PAA-based products and to ensure a fog production able to stay suspended in the air and provided that these devices meet following characteristics:

1)

Particle (medium droplet) size: between 1 and 15 μm

2)

Flow rate: 0,047 mL/min/m3

3)

Application rate: 5,6 mL/m3

4)

Room volume between 30 and 150 m3 per application and per device (i.e. diffusion time between 5 and 30 min)

Airborne disinfection should be done only after thorough cleaning and rinsing.

The surfaces to be disinfected should be dried before the disinfection procedure. Please pay attention to open the cupboard doors. Please check the temperature and the relative room humidity (to be set between 40 and 80 %) to obtain an optimal level for the product efficiency.

The room where the fogging activity takes place is tightly sealed during fogging, no user is present:

Before the start of the disinfection cycle by fogging, the treated room is sealed. All the safety tasks for the implementation of decontamination are entrusted to an user who has completed the necessary training. Among them, first step is shutting down the air handling units and closing the air intake and return, so the product is not spread in the other rooms. The door or doors to the outside of the area are then locked and, if the joints are not tight enough, they are taped to seal. An orange tape, or bright colour, is preferably chosen to attract attention and a sign "Access ban, room disinfection in progress" is put on. Only for use in areas that are inaccessible to the general public and companion animals”.

The user shall always carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable "standard room", if applicable) with the devices to be used, after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter. Each device or specific installation is systematically validated when it is set up.

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

+ Additional specific RMM for fogging applications:

 

Only for use in areas that are inaccessible to the general public and companion animals.

After disinfection product’s application by fogging & required contact time for optimal disinfection (2h), the room must be ventilated, preferably by mechanical ventilation at least for 60 min.

The duration of the ventilation period has to be established by measurement with suitable measurement equipment (specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

After ventilation, re-entry in the disinfected area is only permitted after the air concentrations of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide have been checked and seen as dropped below the respective reference values (AEC):

The air concentration of PAA must have dropped to 0,5 mg/m3.

5.3.   Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

Ø   General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Ø   Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Ø   Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Ø   Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ø   Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Ø   Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Ø   Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Ø   Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4.   Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

5.   GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE (3) OF THE META SPC 3

5.1.   Instructions for use

1.

All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure

2.

Disinfection cycle:

Products must be diluted in potable water before use.

Dilution rate & contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Final rinsing (with potable water) is mandatory: after the disinfection procedure, treated surfaces are rinsed with water and the water is drained into the sewer system. For exceptions, please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Meta SPC 3: Disinfection procedures by foaming

Only for use in areas that are inaccessible to the general public and companion animals.

No access for the general public during treatment.

The surfaces to be disinfected must be wet enough in order to keep them wet during the required contact time for optimal disinfection. Then, the user should pay attention to wet surfaces completely with the disinfectant solution.

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3.   Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

Ø   General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Ø   Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Ø   Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Ø   Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ø   Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Ø   Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Ø   Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Ø   Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4.   Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

The shelf life of the biocidal product is 6 months.

The products must be stored at temperatures below + 30 °C.

5.1.   Instructions for use

1.

All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure.

1.

Disinfection cycle:

Products must be diluted in potable water before use.

Dilution rate & contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Final rinsing (with potable water) is mandatory: after the disinfection procedure, treated surfaces are rinsed with water and the water is drained into the sewer system. For exceptions, please refer to the description of application method related to each use.

Only for use in areas that are inaccessible to the general public and companion animals.

No access for the general public during treatment.

Disinfection procedures by CIP: Final rinsing step (with potable water).

After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed system conditions

Disinfection procedures by dipping: The bath is not intended to be re-used. Use the bath only once a day after work & replace it by a fresh solution daily.

Disinfection procedures by spraying: the surfaces to be disinfected must be wet enough in order to keep them wet during the required contact time for optimal disinfection. Then, the user should pay attention to wet surfaces completely with the disinfectant solution.

The Application Rate for spraying of diluted product must be between 20 and 30 mL/m2

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3.   Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

Ø   General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Ø   Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Ø   Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Ø   Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ø   Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Ø   Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Ø   Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Ø   Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4.   Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place. Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/965

of 21 June 2022

authorising the placing on the market of kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. as a novel food and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1852/2001 (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 provides that only novel foods authorised and included in the Union list of novel foods may be placed on the market within the Union.

(2)

Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 (2) has established a Union list of novel foods.

(3)

On 29 August 2016, the company ‘JatroSolutions GmbH’ (‘the applicant’) submitted an application to the competent authority of Germany to place kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L., on the Union market as a novel food ingredient within the meaning of point (c) of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). The applicant requested for hydrothermally treated whole and broken kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. to be used as such (or candied or sugar preserved) or as processed nuts as snack, and as a food ingredient in cereal bars, in breakfast cereals, and in dried fruits.

(4)

Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, any request for placing a novel food on the market within the Union submitted to a Member State in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients, and for which the final decision has not been taken before 1 January 2018 are to be treated as an application submitted under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

(5)

While the request for placing kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. on the market as a novel food within the Union was submitted to a Member State in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 258/97, the application also meets the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

(6)

On 1 March 2018, the applicant also made a request to the Commission for the protection of proprietary data on the management of the cultivation of the Jatropha curcas L. plant and the use of molecular markers (4), the compositional data including the nutritional information (5) and data on allergens (6), the information on biological and process contaminants (7), the analytical methods, including their validation, for the detection of phorbol esters in the Jatropha curcas L. kernels (8), the procedures for the verification of the phorbol ester content of the Jatropha curcas L. kernels (9), bacterial reverse mutation assays with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil (10), and an in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus tests with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil (11), submitted in support of the application.

(7)

On 19 October 2018, the Commission requested the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) to carry out an assessment of kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. as a novel food.

(8)

On 24 November 2021, the Authority adopted its scientific opinion ‘Safety of hydrothermally treated kernels from edible Jatropha curcas L. (‘Chuta’) as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 (12) in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

(9)

In its scientific opinion, the Authority concluded that kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. are safe under the proposed conditions of use. Therefore, that scientific opinion gives sufficient grounds to establish that novel food kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L., when used as such (or candied or sugar preserved) or as processed nuts as snack and as a food ingredient in cereal bars, in breakfast cereals, and in dried fruits, fulfils the conditions for its placing on the market in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

(10)

In its scientific opinion, the Authority also concluded that consumption of this novel food may either induce primary sensitisation to kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. that could lead to allergic reactions or could elicit allergic reactions to persons that are allergic to nuts. It came to such conclusion on the basis of the weight of the available evidence and considering the elevated (32 %) protein content of the kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L., and published information demonstrating the presence of a number of allergenic proteins in the kernels from the non-edible variety of Jatropha curcas L.. However, considering that at present there is no epidemiological evidence on allergic reactions to kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. in the areas of Mexico where they are commonly consumed, and considering the negative cross reactivity results of proteins from the kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. to proteins from some common nuts in in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (‘ELISA’), and the negative polymerase chain reaction (‘PCR’) tests conducted with the kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. for allergens of other nuts, the Commission considers that no specific labelling requirement as to its allergenicity should be included in the Union list of authorised novel foods.

(11)

In its scientific opinion, the Authority also noted that its conclusion on the safety of the novel food was based on the scientific data on the management of the cultivation of the Jatropha curcas L. plant and the use of molecular markers, the compositional data including the nutritional information and data on allergens, the information on biological and process contaminants, the analytical methods, including their validation, for the detection of phorbol esters in the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the procedures for the verification of the phorbol ester content of the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the bacterial reverse mutation assays with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, and the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus tests with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, without which it could not have assessed the novel food and reached its conclusion.

(12)

The Commission requested the applicant to further clarify the justification provided with regard to their proprietary claim over those studies and tests and to clarify its claim to an exclusive right of reference to them in accordance with Article 26(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

(13)

The applicant declared that they held proprietary and exclusive rights of reference to the scientific data from the management of the cultivation of the Jatropha curcas L. plant and the use of molecular markers, the compositional data including the nutritional information and data on allergens, the information on biological and process contaminants, the analytical methods, including their validation, for the detection of phorbol esters in the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the sampling procedures for the verification of the phorbol ester content of the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the bacterial reverse mutation assays with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, and the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus tests with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, at the time they submitted the application and therefore third parties could not lawfully access, use or refer to those data.

(14)

The Commission assessed all the information provided by the applicant and considered that they have sufficiently substantiated the fulfilment of the requirements laid down in Article 26(2) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. Therefore, the scientific data on the management of the cultivation of the Jatropha curcas L. plant and the use of molecular markers, the compositional data including the nutritional information and data on allergens, the information on biological and process contaminants, the analytical methods, including their validation, for the detection of phorbol esters in the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the procedures for the verification of the phorbol ester content of the Jatropha curcas L. kernels, the bacterial reverse mutation assays with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, and the in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus tests with the edible and non-edible Jatropha curcas L. defatted kernel meal and oil, should be protected in accordance with Article 27(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. Accordingly, only the applicant should be authorised to place kernels from Jatropha curcas L. on the market within the Union during a period of 5 years from the entry into force of this Regulation.

(15)

However, restricting the authorisation of kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. and the reference to the scientific data contained in the applicant’s file for the sole use by them does not prevent subsequent applicants from applying for an authorisation to place on the market the same novel food provided that their application is based on legally obtained information supporting such an authorisation.

(16)

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

1.   Kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. are authorised to be placed on the market within the Union.

Kernels from the edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. shall be included in the Union list of novel foods set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470.

2.   The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Only the company ‘JatroSolutions GmbH’ (13) is authorised to place on the market within the Union the novel food referred to in Article 1, for a period of 5 years from 12 July 2022, unless a subsequent applicant obtains an authorisation for that novel food without reference to the scientific data protected pursuant to Article 3 or with the agreement of ‘JatroSolutions GmbH’.

Authorised Novel Food

Specification

Jatropha curcas L. (edible variety) kernels

Description:

The kernels are obtained from the seeds of the ripe fruits of the edible variety of the Jatropha curcas L. plants that produce kernels with non-detectable levels of phorbol esters, following a series of steps involving the cleaning and de-husking of the fruits to obtain the seeds, the drying of the seeds, the cleaning of the seeds to remove debris and other residues, mechanical deshelling of the seeds to obtain the kernels, and the hydrothermal treatment (> 120 °C for 40 minutes) of the kernels to reduce anti-nutrients and the microbiological load.

As the edible variety of the Jatropha curcas L. plants, producing kernels that contain non-detectable levels of phorbol esters, are phenotypically undistinguishable from the non-edible variety, only the appropriate edible variety of Jatropha curcas L. plants should be used in the production of the novel food. The entire production process must ensure that the mixing of edible and non-edible kernels does not occur.

The absence of mixing of edible with non-edible kernels shall be confirmed by analytical controls for phorbol esters carried on each batch of the seeds after the seed-drying step and before the deshelling step according to the sampling procedure of Table A. Five laboratory samples extracted from each aggregate sample are de-shelled, ground, and analysed for phorbol esters using a validated UHPLC-UV-MS(b) method. Only the batches in which phorbol esters are undetectable in all five samples are further processed to the seed deshelling and kernel hydrothermal treatment steps.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/966

of 21 June 2022

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 as regards the conditions of use, the specific labelling requirements and specifications of the novel food Calanus finmarchicus oil

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1852/2001 (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 provides that only novel foods authorised and included in the Union list of novel foods may be placed on the market within the Union.

(2)

Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 (2) has established a Union list of novel foods.

(3)

The Union list set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 includes Calanus finmarchicus oil as an authorised novel food.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2353 (3) authorised, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), the placing on the market of Calanus finmarchicus oil as a novel food ingredient to be used in food supplements intended for the general population.

(5)

On 30 November 2021, the company ‘Calanus A/S’ (‘the applicant’) submitted an application to the Commission in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 for a change of the specifications, of the conditions of use, and of the specific labelling requirements of the novel food ‘Calanus finmarchicus oil’. The applicant proposed to change the specifications of Calanus finmarchicus oil with regard to astaxanthin esters to the level up to 0,25 %. They requested an increased maximum level of up to 0,25 % of astaxanthin esters contained in Calanus finmarchicus oil for persons older than fourteen years of age, in addition to the currently authorised maximum level of < 0,1 % of astaxanthin esters in Calanus finmarchicus oil for the general population. For food supplements containing the currently authorised level of < 0,1 % astaxanthin esters that are intended for the general population, the applicant proposed reducing the currently authorised use levels of the Calanus finmarchicus oil from 2,3 g/day to 1,0 g/day and excluding infants and young children.

(6)

As a consequence of the proposed changes in the specifications Calanus finmarchicus oil and the conditions of use of this novel food, the applicant proposed an amendment in its labelling to ensure that consumers only use the food supplements intended for their age group. In addition, in light of the current use of food supplements containing astaxanthin esters in the Union market, the applicant also proposed additional specific labelling to warn consumers not to use Calanus finmarchicus oil food supplements, when other food supplements containing astaxanthin esters are consumed on the same day.

(7)

The Commission considers that the requested update of the Union list concerning specifications of Calanus finmarchicus oil and the resulting changes in its conditions of use for the population groups older than 14 years of age is not liable to have an effect on human health and that a safety evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 is not necessary. The increase in the astaxanthin esters in oil from Calanus finmarchicus from < 0,1 % to ≤ 0,25 % in food supplements intended for population groups older than 14 years is expected to result in intakes of astaxanthin esters which, in combination with the intake of astaxanthin from the normal diet, are not expected to exceed the revised Acceptable Daily Intake (‘ADI’) of 0,2 mg astaxanthin/kg bw, established by the Authority (5).

(8)

Furthermore, the Commission considers that the requested update of the Union list concerning the reduction of the currently authorised use levels of Calanus finmarchicus oil from 2,3 g/day to 1,0 g/day in food supplements intended for the general population that contain < 0,1 % astaxanthin esters, and the exclusion of infants and young children is also not liable to have an effect on human health and that a safety evaluation by the Authority in accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 is not necessary. The exclusion of infants and young children is justified because the anticipated combined intake of astaxanthin esters from food supplements containing Calanus finmarchicus oil with levels of < 0,1 % astaxanthin esters and from the normal diet is expected to exceed the revised Acceptable Daily Intake (‘ADI’) of 0,2 mg astaxanthin/kg of body weight established by the Authority for these groups of consumers.

(9)

The proposed change to the specifications and conditions of use of Calanus finmarchicus oil as regards the astaxanthin esters values are in line with the conclusions of the safety assessment conducted by the Authority on astaxanthin. Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the specifications and the conditions of use of the novel food Calanus finmarchicus oil at the proposed astaxanthin esters levels.

(10)

The proposed changes to the labelling requirements of Calanus finmarchicus oil are in line with the conclusions of the safety assessment conducted by the Authority on astaxanthin. In addition, the Commission considers appropriate to lay down additional labelling requirement in order to prevent concomitant consumption of astaxanthin food supplements, which is likely to exceed the ADI established by the Authority. Therefore, it is appropriate to include additional labelling requirements for that novel food.

(11)

The information provided in the application gives sufficient grounds to establish that the changes to the conditions of use, the specific labelling requirements and specifications of the novel food Calanus finmarchicus oil are in accordance with the conditions of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 and should be approved.

(12)

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(13)

In order to provide business operators with sufficient time to adjust their practices to comply with the requirements of this Regulation, transitional measures should be laid down as regards food supplements containing Calanus finmarchicus oil, which have been lawfully placed on the Union market or dispatched from third countries for the Union, before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

(14)

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

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

of 16 June 2022

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe as regards the proposals for modifications to UN Regulations Nos 12, 13, 13-H, 22, 24, 48, 49, 51, 53, 54, 74, 79, 85, 86, 90, 100, 106, 109, 117, 127, 129, 131, 135, 136, 137, 141, 145, 148, 149, 150, 157 and 162, as regards the proposal for modifications to UN GTR No 2, as regards the proposal for a new UN Regulation on reverse warning, as regards the proposal for a new UN Global Technical Regulation on durability of pollution control devices for two- and three-wheelers, as regards the proposal for a new Consolidated Resolution concerning exhaust ultra-fine particle numbers measurement for heavy duty vehicles, and as regards the proposal for authorisation to develop Amendment 4 to UN GTR No 3

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

By Council Decision 97/836/EC (1), the Union acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (‘Revised 1958 Agreement’). The Revised 1958 Agreement entered into force on 24 March 1998.

(2)

By Council Decision 2000/125/EC (2), the Union acceded to the Agreement concerning the establishing of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles (‘Parallel Agreement’). The Parallel Agreement entered into force on 15 February 2000.

(3)

Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) lays down administrative provisions and technical requirements for type approval and placing on the market of all new vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. This Regulation incorporates regulations adopted under the Revised 1958 Agreement (‘UN Regulations’) in the EU type approval system, either as requirements for type approval or as alternatives to Union legislation.

(4)

Pursuant to Article 1 of the Revised 1958 Agreement and Article 6 of the Parallel Agreement, the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (‘UNECE WP.29’) may adopt proposals for modifications to UN Regulations, UN Global Technical Regulations (‘UN GTRs’) and UN Resolutions, as well as proposals for new UN Regulations, UN GTRs and UN Resolutions concerning the approval of vehicles. Moreover, pursuant to those provisions, UNECE WP.29 may adopt proposals for authorisations to develop amendments to UN GTRs or to develop new UN GTRs and may adopt proposals for the extension of mandates for UN GTRs.

(5)

At the 187th session of the World Forum to be held between 21 and 24 June 2022, UNECE WP.29 intends to adopt the proposals for modifications to UN Regulations Nos 12, 13, 13-H, 22, 24, 48, 49, 51, 53, 54, 74, 79, 85, 86, 90, 100, 106, 109, 117, 127, 129, 131, 135, 136, 137, 141, 145, 148, 149, 150, 157 and 162; the proposal for modifications to UN GTR No 2; the proposal for a new UN Regulation on reverse warning; the proposal for a new UN GTR on durability of pollution control devices for two- and three-wheelers; and the proposal for a new Consolidated Resolution concerning exhaust ultra-fine particle numbers measurement for heavy duty vehicles. Moreover, UNECE WP.29 intends to adopt the proposal for authorisation to develop Amendment 4 to UN GTR No 3 on motorcycle braking.

(6)

It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in UNECE WP.29, as regards the adoption of those proposals, as the UN Regulations will be binding on the Union and, together with the UN GTRs and UN Resolutions, capable of decisively influencing the content of Union law in the field of vehicle type approval.

(7)

In the light of experience and technical developments, the requirements relating to certain elements or features covered by UN Regulations Nos 12, 13, 13-H, 22, 24, 48, 49, 51, 53, 54, 74, 79, 85, 86, 90, 100, 106, 109, 117, 127, 129, 131, 135, 136, 137, 141, 145, 148, 149, 150, 157, 162 and UN GTR No 2 need to be amended or supplemented.

(8)

In order to allow for technical progress and in order to improve vehicle safety and reduce environmental footprint, a new UN Regulation on reverse warning, a new UN GTR on durability of pollution control devices for two- and three-wheelers and a new Consolidated Resolution concerning exhaust ultra-fine particle numbers measurement for heavy duty vehicles need to be adopted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the 187th session of the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations to be held between 21 and 24 June 2022 shall be to vote in favour of the proposals listed in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2022/970

of 16 June 2022

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors as regards the amendment of Decision No 3/2019 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to adopt transitional measures pursuant to Article 95(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

The Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part (1) (the ‘ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’) was signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 and entered into force on 1 April 2003. In accordance with Decision No 3/2019 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors (2) (the ‘decision on transitional measures’), it is to be applied until 30 June 2022.

(2)

Pursuant to Article 95(4), first subparagraph, of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, negotiations towards a new ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (the ‘new Agreement’) were launched in September 2018. The new Agreement will not be ready to be applied by 30 June 2022, the expiry date of the current legal framework. It is therefore necessary to amend the decision on transitional measures in order to further extend the application of the provisions of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement.

(3)

Article 95(4), second subparagraph, of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement provides for the ACP-EU Council of Ministers to adopt any transitional measures that may be required until the new Agreement comes into force.

(4)

Pursuant to Article 15(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, on 23 May 2019, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers delegated the powers to adopt the transitional measures to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors (3). Therefore it is for the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to amend the transitional measures pursuant to Article 95(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement.

(5)

It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors, as the envisaged act will be binding on the Union.

(6)

The provisions of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement will continue to be applied with the aim of maintaining continuity in relations between the Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and the ACP States, on the other. Accordingly, the amended transitional measures are not intended as amendments to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement as provided for in Article 95(3) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1.   The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors, pursuant to Article 95(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, shall be to amend Decision No 3/2019 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors in order to extend the application of the provisions of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement until 30 June 2023, or until the entry into force of the new Agreement or the provisional application between the Union and the ACP States of the new Agreement, whichever comes first.

2.   The provisions of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement shall be applied in line with the purpose and objective of Article 95(4) thereof.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Done at Luxembourg, 16 June 2022.

For the Council

The President

O. DUSSOPT


(1)   OJ L 317, 15.12.2000, p. 3. The ACP-EU Partnership Agreement was amended by the Agreement signed in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (OJ L 209, 11.8.2005, p. 27) and by the Agreement signed in Ouagadougou on 22 June 2010 (OJ L 287, 4.11.2010, p. 3).

(2)  Decision No 3/2019 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors of 17 December 2019 to adopt transitional measures pursuant to Article 95(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (OJ L 1, 3.1.2020, p. 3).

(3)  Decision No 1/2019 of the ACP-EU Council of Ministers of 23 May 2019 on the delegation of powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors on the decision to adopt transitional measures pursuant to Article 95(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (OJ L 146, 5.6.2019, p. 114).

GUIDELINE (EU) 2022/971 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 19 May 2022

on the Centralised Securities Database and the production of securities issues statistics and repealing Guideline 2012/689/EU (ECB/2012/21) and Guideline (EU) 2021/834 (ECB/2021/15) (ECB/2022/25)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

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

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Having regard to the contribution of the General Council of the European Central Bank,

Whereas:

(1)

The Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) is a single information technology infrastructure operated jointly by the members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), including national central banks of the Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) where such non-euro area NCBs voluntarily participate in the operation of the CSDB. The CSDB stores item-by-item data, in particular, data on securities, their issuers, prices and ratings. The main processes of the CSDB’s operation comprise input data provision, processing of that input data, carrying out data quality management (DQM) and production and dissemination of output data consisting of item-by-item data and aggregate information. A number of changes to these processes require the adoption of a new Guideline to ensure that there are clear and certain arrangements for the governance of the CSDB. In the interest of legal certainty, Guideline 2012/689/EU of the European Central Bank (ECB/2012/21) (2) and Guideline (EU) 2021/834 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/15) (3) , which to date have governed the data quality management framework of the CSDB and the reporting of statistical information on securities issues, should be repealed.

(2)

To enhance monetary policy and financial stability analyses for the euro area and the Union, to contribute to the production of secondary statistics, to fulfil the euro area reporting commitments on debt securities issuance statistics in the context of the G20 Data Gaps Initiative and to assess the role of the euro in international financial markets, monthly securities issues statistics covering stock and flow aggregates of securities issuances are produced from CSDB item-by-item data (hereinafter ‘CSEC aggregate statistics’). Accordingly, CSEC aggregate statistics should be compiled in the CSDB, and national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) and the European Central Bank (ECB) should be responsible for the verification of CSEC aggregate statistics and for the DQM of the underlying CSDB item-by-item data.

(3)

Providing input data for the CSDB involves collecting data from various sources and transmitting it to the ECB via the CSDB. This collection by the ECB is necessary in order to undertake the tasks of the ESCB, particularly those regarding monetary policy and the stability of the financial system. These sources include the NCBs and the non-euro area NCBs, ECB-internal sources, certain commercial data providers, administrative sources, and the public domain.

(4)

To link the security-by-security data collected from different sources and to avoid duplicate records, all securities that are transmitted to the CSDB should be identified uniquely by an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN code).To ensure the correct grouping of the input data provided by NCBs and accurate linking of the CSDB data with other ESCB statistical information, NCBs should provide, as part of their input reference data on issuers, at least one linking entity identifier that is included in the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Database (RIAD). Furthermore, to facilitate the correct grouping of issuer reference data from different sources and accurate linking with other ESCB statistical information, a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) should be provided when available.

(5)

The overall quality of CSDB item-by-item data can only be assessed at the output level, rather than at the level of individual sets of input data. To ensure the completeness, accuracy and consistency of output data, it is necessary to define a DQM framework to be applied to output feed data, which is a subset of output data that can be used to support the production of statistics or other uses.

(6)

The CSDB DQM framework should be applied to output feed data regardless of the source of input data. It should lay down the responsibilities of the NCBs and the ECB for the quality of output data in the CSDB. In order to ensure the high quality of output feed data and CSEC aggregate statistics, and to enable the ECB to provide snapshots of output feed data and the CSEC aggregate statistics in a timely manner, NCBs and the ECB should verify output feed data and CSEC aggregate statistics by a specified date.

(7)

To ensure the high quality of CSDB item-by-item data and of historical CSEC aggregate statistics, and to support the alignment of NCBs’ national security-by-security databases and the CSDB, NCBs that have improved their input data should provide revised input data files to the CSDB or use the CSDB system to correct the data.

(8)

Since the CSDB is operated jointly by all ESCB members, they should all aim to follow the same DQM standards. Where an NCB would like to conduct DQM that affects the CSDB data related to residents in other countries, it should coordinate with the NCBs and the non-euro area NCBs and with the ECB, as relevant, to clearly define the boundaries of such DQM. Moreover, non-euro area NCBs are in the best position to carry out DQM on the data related to issuers residing in their respective Member States. While it is recognised that guidelines adopted by the ECB may not impose any obligations on non-euro area NCBs, Article 5 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank applies to both NCBs and non-euro area NCBs. This implies an obligation on non-euro area NCBs to therefore design and implement all the measures that they consider appropriate in order to carry out DQM of CSDB output data and CSEC aggregate statistics in accordance with this Guideline. In addition, for the purposes of enabling the ECB to obtain a comprehensive overview of the statistical information collected and to carry out relevant analyses, the national central banks of non-euro area Member States that adopt the euro should be required to provide the ECB with statistical information covering a specified period prior to their adoption of the euro.

(9)

To improve the quality of output data, data source management (DSM) should be carried out with the aim of identifying and correcting repetitive and/or structural mistakes in input data. DSM should be carried out by the ECB in relation to input data provided by commercial data sources and by NCBs in relation to their own input data.

(10)

Common rules should be established for the publication by NCBs of aggregate statistics using CSDB data to ensure an orderly release of the related key aggregates.

(11)

It is necessary to set up a procedure to carry out technical amendments to the annexes to this Guideline in an effective manner, provided that such amendments neither change the underlying conceptual framework nor affect the reporting and DQM burden,

ANNEX II

DATA QUALITY MANAGEMENT (DQM) TARGETS, IMPLEMENTATION OF EXCEPTIONS, ATTRIBUTES, DQM THRESHOLD BASIS AND TIMELINE

The Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) DQM framework is based, first, on DQM targets that represent benchmarks for assessing the quality of output feed data and, second, on DQM metrics that measure the level to which a certain DQM target has been reached and thereby identify and prioritise, for each respective DQM target, the output feed data that need to be verified. It is also based on DQM thresholds that define the minimum level of verification that needs to be conducted in relation to a DQM target and on DQM exceptions that are identified via a specified rule and that present (potential) data quality issues to be verified or corrected in order to reach the respective DQM threshold.

The DQM targets, DQM metrics, implementation of DQM exceptions, attributes and DQM threshold basis are specified in the following table. In the CSDB, a list of DQM exceptions will be made available for each DQM target that must be verified in order to reach the DQM threshold. The ECB and the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) will verify the DQM exceptions defined in this Annex, for which DQM exception rules are implemented in the CSDB.

Table 1

DQM target

DQM metrics

Implementation of DQM exceptions

Output feed data attributes

DQM threshold basis

Target 1:

Data stability – stock data

Concept:

The metric will be defined for each country of residence/sector combination as a volume weighted ‘index of change’, weighted with monetary amounts. An index value of 1 indicates that the respective attribute has not changed for any of the underlying securities, while an index value of 0 indicates that the respective attribute has changed for all securities.

If an index drops below 1, individual securities will be identified with the changed attribute that has caused the index drop with a view to verifying the change until the threshold is met.

Events triggering an index change:

For discrete attributes, any month-on-month difference in the attribute is considered to trigger an index change.

For continuous attributes, any month-on-month difference larger than a specified threshold is considered to trigger an index change.

Coverage:

This DQM metric covers all investment fund shares, equity and debt securities including certificates.

Target 1 assesses the stability of stock data.

Any month-on-month difference triggering an index change triggers a DQM exception for the output feed data attributes covered by Target 1.

Unverified DQM exceptions must not decrease the share of stable data beyond the DQM threshold for each of the following European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) (2)issuer sectors:

S.11 ‘non-financial corporations’

S.121 ‘the central bank’

S.122 ‘deposit-taking corporations except the central bank’

S.123 ‘money market funds (MMFs)’

S.124 ‘non-MMF investment funds’

S.125 ‘other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds’

S.126 ‘financial auxiliaries’

S.127 ‘captive financial institutions and money lenders’

S.128 ‘insurance corporations (IC)’

S.129 ‘pension funds (PF)’

S.13 ‘general government’

Explicit attributes: Issue date, maturity date for debt, nominal currency, quotation basis, ESA 2010 instrument classification, primary asset classification 2, CSDB issuer identifier, issuer domicile country, (1) ESA 2010 issuer sector, issuer European Classification of Economic Activities (NACE) classification, entity status, amount outstanding, number outstanding, security status, coupon-related attributes, accrued income factor, price value, price value type, monthly average price, issue price, redemption price, instrument supplementary information, last split factor, last split date.

Amounts outstanding or market capitalisation in euro, expressed as share of stock data.

Target 2:

Data accuracy – CSEC aggregate statistics

Conceptual background:

CSEC aggregate statistics for end-month stocks and monthly flows are produced from CSDB output data on a daily basis, as specified in Annex IV to this Guideline.

As CSEC aggregate statistics consist of a large number of different aggregates, including higher-level and overlapping aggregates, the verification of CSEC aggregate statistics must focus on sets of ‘CSEC priority series’, i.e. the lowest-level CSEC aggregate statistics that are subject to DQM requirements, as specified in Annex IV to this Guideline. Verifying the sets of priority series will ensure that all higher-level aggregates that are based on these series and to a significant extent also related overlapping aggregates are verified as well.

Concept:

For each country, the metric must identify the ‘CSEC priority series’ and must relate them, as a percentage of amounts outstanding or market capitalisation, to the total economy aggregates for stocks at market value for that country.

It must be possible to access disaggregated data at the level of the individual securities underlying the CSEC aggregate statistics. The sets of CSEC priority series must be verified and confirmed until the threshold is met.

Coverage:

The metric covers debt securities and listed shares that are within the scope of CSEC aggregate statistics.

Target 2 assesses the data quality of the CSEC aggregate statistics

Any CSEC priority series for debt securities and listed shares triggers a DQM exception for Target 2.

Unverified DQM exceptions shall not exceed the DQM threshold for debt securities and listed shares.

Implicit attributes: Issue date, maturity date for debt, nominal currency, quotation basis, ESA 2010 instrument classification, primary asset classification 2, issuer domicile country, (3) ESA 2010 issuer sector, entity status, amount outstanding, number outstanding, tranche amount, tranche issue date, tranche issue price, security status, coupon-related attributes, price value, issue price, redemption price, instrument supplementary information.

Stocks at market value of CSEC priority series expressed as a share of stocks at market value of the CSEC total economy aggregates of that country (separately calculated for debt securities and listed share aggregates).

Target 3a:

Data accuracy – support correct sector allocation and data extraction by issuer

Conceptual background:

The CSDB links issuer and instrument information on a relational basis which can be described as ‘one to many’, i.e. one issuer can be related to many instruments, while each instrument is related to only one issuer. This instrument-issuer link is made via individual issuer identifiers provided by the different input data providers. These identifiers differ between the data providers as there is, so far, no common standard but they should be consistent.

If input data providers provide inconsistent (clashing) issuer identifiers for the same instrument, i.e. if they disagree on the issuer, the instrument cannot be allocated to a definite issuer and ends up in a ‘clash group’. Clash groups can still be classified correctly by country and sector but there is no consistent link to the relevant issuer of the instrument.

Instruments in clash groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer.

Instruments in clash groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector.

Concept:

For each country of residence the metric must identify the instruments in clash groups and relate them as a percentage share in terms of counts or in terms of monetary amounts to all instruments for that country.

Coverage:

The metric covers all instruments in the CSDB.

Target 3a assesses the correct identification of the issuer population.

Any disagreement on the issuer of an instrument, i.e. instruments in ‘clash groups’, triggers a DQM exception for Target 3a.

Where there is a DQM exception, the instruments for this exception must not exceed the DQM threshold.

Explicit attributes: Issuer identifier used for grouping.

Amounts outstanding and market capitalisation in euro referring to instruments in clash groups, expressed as a percentage share of all instruments.

Target 3b:

Data accuracy – support correct sector allocation and data extraction by issuer

Conceptual background:

The CSDB links issuer and instrument information on a relational basis which may be described as ‘one to many’, i.e. one issuer can be related to many instruments while each instrument is related to only one issuer. This instrument-issuer link is made via individual issuer identifiers which are provided by the different input data providers. These identifiers differ between the data providers as there is, so far, no common standard but they should be consistent.

If no data provider provides an issuer identifier for a given instrument, there is a risk that this instrument will not be allocated to a definite issuer and will end up in a ‘stand-alone group’ consisting only of this instrument. Stand-alone groups may still be classified correctly by country and sector but there is no consistent link to the relevant issuer of the instrument.

Instruments in stand-alone groups prevent the consistent and reliable extraction of all instruments issued by a certain issuer.

Instruments in stand-alone groups increase the risk of misclassification by country of residence or sector, given that they are often provided with incomplete information.

Concept:

For each country of residence the metric must identify the instruments in stand-alone groups and relate them as a percentage share in terms of counts or in terms of monetary amounts to all instruments for that country.

Coverage:

The metric covers all instruments in the CSDB.

Target 3b assesses the correct identification of the issuer population.

Any lack of reliable information on the issuer of an instrument, i.e. instruments in ‘stand-alone groups’, triggers a DQM exception for Target 3b.

Where there is a DQM exception, the instruments for this exception must not exceed the DQM threshold.

Explicit attributes: Issuer identifier used for grouping.

Amounts outstanding and market capitalisation in euro referring to instruments in stand-alone groups, expressed as a percentage share of all instruments.

When performing their tasks under Article 8 of this Guideline, the ECB and NCBs must adhere to the following timetable for the verification of DQM exceptions and correction of data quality issues for DQM targets 1, 2, 3a and 3b:

A specific example of the timetable for the verification of DQM exceptions and correction of data quality issues for DQM targets 1, 2, 3a and 3b is provided in the following diagram. The example illustrates the case of the production round for reference month June 2022. In this case, the ECB and NCBs must conduct initial DQM of DQM exceptions referring to reference month June 2022 by the third working day of July 2022 in the case of DQM exceptions for DQM targets 1, 3a and 3b and by the seventh working day of July 2022 in the case of DQM exceptions for DQM target 2. Similarly, the ECB and NCBs must conduct the regular DQM of DQM exceptions referring to reference month May 2022 and any earlier reference months by the third working day of July 2022 in the case of DQM exceptions for DQM targets 1, 3a and 3b and by the seventh working day of July 2022 in the case of DQM exceptions for DQM target 2.

ANNEX IV

CSEC AGGREGATE STATISTICS

Introduction

Centralised Securities Database (CSDB)-based securities issues statistics (hereinafter ‘CSEC’) provide stock and flow aggregates on securities issuances by residents of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area Member States’) and of the Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter the ‘non-euro area Member States’) in all currencies, as well as by residents of the rest of the world (RoW) in euro, broken down by sector of the issuer, instrument type, interest rate type, maturity, and currency of denomination.

National central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) are responsible for verifying CSEC aggregate statistics related to issuers resident in their countries. The ECB is responsible for verifying CSEC aggregate statistics related to issuers resident outside the euro area, unless an NCB of a Member State whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter a ‘non-euro area NCB’) has accepted the responsibility of verifying the CSEC aggregate statistics related to issuers resident in its Member State.

The methodology for compiling CSEC aggregate statistics follows as closely as possible the international standards defined in the ‘Handbook on Securities Statistics’ of the Bank for International Settlements, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (1) and in the ESA 2010 (2). Exceptional cases where the methodology deviates from these statistical standards are specifically highlighted. The detailed CSEC calculation rules will be defined in the compilation guide agreed by the ESCB Statistics Committee and published in the ECB’s website.

1.   Coverage and classifications

1.1.

Residency of the issuer: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances by residents of euro area and non-euro area Member States in all currencies, as well as by residents of the RoW in euro. Issuances by residents of euro area and/ non-euro area Member States are broken down by issuer country and other criteria. In addition, euro area and Union level aggregates also cover issuances by supranational institutions deemed resident in the euro area and the Union as a whole respectively.

1.2.

Sectors: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances by the following issuer sectors:

S1: total economy (all sectors combined)

S11: non-financial corporations

S12: financial corporations

S121: central banks

S122: deposit taking corporations except the central bank

S12M: financial corporations other than deposit taking corporations

S12P: financial corporations other than deposit taking corporations, insurance corporations and pension funds

S124: non-money market fund investment funds

S125: other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds

S125A: financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation

S125W: other financial intermediaries except insurance corporations and pension funds (excluding financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation)

S126: financial auxiliaries

S127: captive financial institutions and money lenders

S12Q: insurance corporations and pension funds

S13: general government

S1311: central government (excluding social security funds)

S13M: state and local government (excluding social security funds)

S1314: social security funds

S1M: households and non-profit institutions serving households

1.3.

Instrument type: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances of debt securities and listed shares (3). Issuances of unlisted shares, other equity, shares/units issued by money market funds (MMF) and shares/units issued by non-MMF investment funds are excluded.

Issuances of debt securities and listed shares include only securities identified with an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) code. Issuances of non-negotiable instruments including loans, transactions in securities as part of repurchase agreements, and government investments in the capital of international organisations that are legally constituted as corporations with share capital are excluded.

1.4.

Interest rate type: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances of debt securities of all interest rate types with the following breakdowns:

Fixed coupon: Debt securities for which at the date of issue the contractual nominal coupon payments are fixed in terms of the currency of denomination for the life of the debt security and the principal repayment is fixed in terms of the currency of denomination and time. This includes stepped debt securities for which at the date of issue different coupons are prefixed throughout the life of the security.

Zero coupon: Single-payment debt securities without coupon payments, usually sold at a discount.

Inflation-linked variable rate: Debt securities for which coupon or principal payments are linked to price indices.

Interest rate-linked variable rate: Debt securities for which coupon or principal payments are linked to interest rate benchmarks or bond yields.

Asset price-linked variable rate: Debt securities for which coupon or principal payments are linked to any other financial assets, commodities, or indices different from price indices or interest rate benchmarks. This includes debt securities linked to baskets of securities, currencies, business events such as issuer defaults, and other types of assets or events.

Debt securities that contain a variable coupon combined with a fixed coupon are classified under the relevant variable interest rate category.

1.5.

Maturity: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances of debt securities of all maturities. The maturity breakdown for issuances of debt securities classifies debt securities by original maturity and to some extent by residual maturity.

1.6.

Currency of denomination: CSEC aggregate statistics cover issuances by euro area residents broken down into euro and ‘other currencies’, issuances by residents of non-euro area Member States broken down into euro, ‘national currency other than euro’ and ‘other currencies’, and issuances by RoW residents in euro. The table below summarises the currency breakdowns.

2.   Stock and flow concepts

CSEC aggregate statistics provide information on stocks (i.e. outstanding amounts) and flows (i.e. gross issuances, redemptions, revaluations, and other changes in volume including reclassifications). The equation below illustrates the link between stocks and flows:

Stocks (t) = Stocks (t-1) + Gross issuances (t) - Redemptions (t) + Revaluations (t) + Other changes in volume (t)

2.1.

Stocks: CSEC aggregate statistics on stocks cover positions of debt securities and listed shares that are outstanding at the end of the reference period.

2.2.

Gross issuances: CSEC aggregate statistics on gross issuances cover new issuances of debt securities and listed shares during the reference period. Issuances refer to the situation where an issuer sells newly created debt securities or listed shares to holders. A security is considered to have been issued when the issuer transfers it to a holder, usually in exchange for currency or transferable deposits, or when it has been effectively issued but retained by the original issuer (4). In addition, for aggregates on debt securities at nominal and market value, gross issuances also include accrued interest. Gross issuances are not recorded in the event of a sole listing of a corporation on a stock exchange where no new capital is raised (5). Issues of securities which can later be converted into other instruments must be recorded as issues in their original instrument category; on conversion they are to be recorded as having been redeemed from this instrument category, with an identical amount then treated as gross issues in a new category.

2.3.

Redemptions: CSEC aggregate statistics on redemptions cover cancellations of debt securities and listed shares during the reference period. Redemptions include debt securities that have reached their maturity date or have been redeemed early, as well as listed shares that have been formally cancelled. In addition, for aggregates of debt securities at nominal and market value redemptions also include paid coupon. Redemptions are not recorded in the event of a sole delisting from a stock exchange (6).

2.4.

Revaluations: CSEC aggregate statistics on revaluations cover revaluations for debt securities and listed shares accrued during the reference period. Revaluations may occur as a result of market developments of prices and exchange rates.

2.5.

Other changes in volume: CSEC aggregate statistics on other changes in volume cover other changes in volume for debt securities and listed shares due to changes in the quantity or physical characteristics of securities or changes in the classification of securities. Changes in classification comprise changes in the institutional sector of the issuer, changes of the reference area in which an issuer is domiciled, changes to the structure of institutional units, and changes in the classification of assets. Other changes in volume are derived as a residual from the stock-flow equation.

The detailed calculation rules for stocks and flows will be defined in the compilation guide agreed by the ESCB Statistics Committee and published on the ECB’s website.

3.   Statistical treatment of specific instrument categories

In compiling CSEC aggregate statistics, the following treatment of specific instrument categories should be applied:

Depository receipts: To avoid double counting, issuances of depository receipts must be excluded from CSEC aggregate statistics.

Issuances with multiple ISIN codes: To avoid double counting, issuances, which are identified by multiple ISIN codes (e.g. because different portions of a security are issued under different regulatory rules or deposited with different depositories), must be included in CSEC aggregate statistics only to the extent that the respective outstanding amounts are not already covered under a different ISIN code.

Stripped debt securities: To avoid double counting, issuances of stripped debt securities must be included in CSEC aggregate statistics only to the extent that the respective outstanding amounts are not already covered by the respective original debt security.

Holdings of own securities: CSEC aggregate statistics must be compiled on a gross basis and cover own holdings of securities, including (i) securities sold in the market and bought back by the issuer and (ii) securities which have been effectively issued but retained by the issuer (7).

4.   Valuation

For debt securities and listed shares, CSEC aggregate statistics are compiled at market value. For debt securities only, CSEC aggregate statistics are also compiled at face value and for stocks of debt securities at nominal value. The table below summarises the valuation methods used for compiling CSEC aggregate statistics:

5.   Overview of breakdowns

For the issuances of each individual euro area Member State, and of the euro area as a whole, CSEC aggregate statistics are measured in euro and compiled in accordance with the breakdowns defined in the following tables. The sector codes used in the tables have the meanings defined in Section 1 on ‘Coverage and classifications’.

6.   Compilation process for CSEC aggregate statistics

CSEC aggregate statistics are centrally and automatically compiled based on the item-by-item data included in the CSDB. The compilation process produces the lowest-level aggregates indicated in Tables A1 to A9 (cells identified with the letter ‘L’ or ‘L*’). All other aggregates defined in Tables A1 to A9 are produced by further aggregating up these lowest-level aggregates.

7.   Verification and DQM of CSEC aggregate statistics

The ECB will use its best efforts to compile and make available the CSEC aggregate statistics on a daily basis to enable the regular verification of the aggregates.

Verification of initial and regular aggregates

In accordance with the timetable in Table 2 of Annex II to this Guideline, the ECB and the NCBs must verify the initial and regular CSEC aggregate statistics by the end of the seventh working day of the calendar month following the reference month of the current production round to ensure that all sets of CSEC priority series have been verified.

The ECB and NCBs must use their best efforts in verifying the initial CSEC aggregate statistics based on information that is readily available to them and must examine the respective aggregates for their plausibility. Initial CSEC aggregate statistics must be flagged as ‘provisional values’ in the disseminated data.

The ECB and NCBs must thoroughly verify the regular CSEC aggregate statistics based on all currently available information including other benchmark data available outside the CSDB. Regular CSEC aggregate statistics must be flagged as ‘normal values’ in the disseminated data.

Prioritisation of verification work

In order to ensure an efficient verification workflow and to avoid duplication of verification work, the verification of CSEC aggregate statistics must focus on the ‘CSEC priority series’, i.e. the most relevant lowest-level CSEC aggregate statistics. Verifying the priority series will ensure that all higher-level aggregates that are based on these series, and to a significant extent also any related overlapping aggregates, are verified as well.

CSEC priority series represent the most relevant CSEC aggregate statistics for a country as measured by their outstanding amounts expressed as a share of amounts outstanding to the CSEC total economy aggregates for debt securities and as measured by their market capitalisation expressed as a share of market capitalisation to the CSEC total economy aggregates for listed shares. Priority series are defined as those lowest-level CSEC aggregate statistics for stocks at market value that are required to reach the Target 2 DQM threshold for that country.

For debt securities, CSEC aggregate statistics cover four overlapping hierarchies as defined in Tables A1 to A4 and A6 to A9. In order to avoid duplication of work, the identification of CSEC priority series for debt securities is based on the lowest-level ‘short-term at original maturity’ aggregates and ‘long-term at original maturity’ aggregates for ‘fixed coupon’ and ‘zero coupon’ as defined in Tables A1 and A6, as well as the lowest-level ‘inflation-linked variable rate’, ‘interest rate-linked variable rate’ and ‘asset price-linked variable rate’ aggregates as defined in Tables A2 and A7. This ensures a detailed verification of the breakdowns by instrument type as well as a high-level verification of the breakdowns by maturity (i.e. short-term vs. long-term at original maturity).

For listed shares, the identification of CSEC priority series is based on the lowest-level aggregates defined in Table A5.

The CSEC aggregate statistics must be verified at the level of ‘sets of series’, consisting of the related aggregates for the three valuation methods (i.e. market, nominal, and face value) and the five series types (i.e. stocks, gross issuances, redemptions, revaluations, and other changes in volume), which share the remaining breakdowns. This means that the verification of CSEC priority series must always cover the full set of series related to the respective CSEC priority series (‘sets of CSEC priority series’) for stocks at market value.

If sets of CSEC priority series exhibit a significant change in total outstanding amounts or market capitalisation after they have been verified but before the deadline for verification as defined by the timetable in Table 2 of Annex II to this Guideline, the CSDB must highlight the respective sets of series and the respective sets of series must be verified again.

DQM of CSEC aggregate statistics

In verifying and confirming the CSEC priority series, the ECB and NCBs must examine the time-series of the related sets of series for the following possible data quality issues:

Outliers, i.e. values that differ significantly from the other values of the respective time-series;

Stock-flow inconsistencies, i.e. reference periods during which current stocks do not equal the sum of previous stocks plus gross issuances minus redemptions plus revaluations, which could either be due to other changes in volume or data quality issues.

If the ECB and NCBs identify relevant statistical data quality issues during the verification of the initial and regular CSEC aggregate statistics, they must correct these issues in the underlying CSDB item-by-item data in due course but no later than the deadline specified in the timetable in Table 2 of Annex II to this Guideline. Corrections of the underlying item-by-item data will be reflected in the CSEC aggregate statistics that are compiled in the overnight processing for the following day.

(4)  Securities are considered as effectively issued (even if they have not been sold to another entity before) when: (i) they are recorded in the accounting balance sheet of the issuer; or (ii) they are used or are available for use by the issuer for market operations.

(5)  By contrast, the ESA 2010 (5.150) theoretically allows the recording of such transactions, as it states: ‘Listing is recorded as an issuance of listed shares, and as a redemption of unlisted shares […] where appropriate.’

(6)  By contrast, the ESA 2010 (5.150) theoretically allows the recording of such transactions, as it states: ‘[…] de-listing is recorded as a redemption of listed shares, and an issuance of unlisted shares where appropriate.’
