COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 559/2011

of 7 June 2011

amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for captan, carbendazim, cyromazine, ethephon, fenamiphos, thiophanate-methyl, triasulfuron and triticonazole in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC, and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	For captan, carbendazim, cyromazine, ethephon, fenamiphos, thiophanate-methyl, triasulfuron and triticonazole maximum residue levels (MRLs) are set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(2)

For captan the Commission was informed that uses on celery, spinach, and parsley were revoked and thus the corresponding MRLs could be reduced without requiring the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(3)	For cyromazine an evaluation by the Authority (2) indicated that the MRL for lettuce may raise concerns of consumer protection. The Authority recommended lowering that MRL. These concerns also apply to scarole.

(4)

On the basis of additional data submitted by South Africa and Germany, the Authority further refined its earlier evaluation of the consumer exposure for carbendazim (3) and thiophanate-methyl (4). It concluded that it is necessary to lower the MRLs as regards carbendazim for grapefruits, oranges, and tomatoes and as regards thiophanate-methyl for tomatoes.

(5)

For ethephon (5), fenamiphos (6), triasulfuron (7) and triticonazole (8), the Authority submitted reasoned opinions on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. The Authority concluded that it is necessary to lower the MRLs as regards triasulfuron for barley, oats, rye, and wheat and as regards fenamiphos for tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, water melons, courgettes, Brussels sprouts, bananas, peanuts and oilseeds and to raise the MRL for grapes. As regards triticonazole, the Authority concluded that no MRL needs to be modified. It is appropriate to move the MRLs on new commodities for these four substances, temporarily set in Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, to Annex II to that Regulation.

(6)	Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(7)	Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account.

(8)	A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs.

(9)	Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and Part B of Annex III to that Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)

In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been lawfully produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended as follows:

(1)	Annex II is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

(2)	In Part B of Annex III, the columns for ethephon, fenamiphos, triasulfuron and triticonazole are deleted.

Article 2

As regards the active substances and the products set out in the following list, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as it stood before being amended by this Regulation shall continue to apply to products which were lawfully produced before 1 January 2012:

(a)	captan: celery, spinach and parsley;

(b)	carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl: frozen, canned, preserved and processed products of grapefruits, oranges and tomatoes;

(c)	fenamiphos: fruiting vegetables, bananas, oilseeds and Brussels sprouts.

Article 3

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

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

Done at Brussels, 7 June 2011.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 560/2011

of 10 June 2011

closing the sales provided for by Regulation (EU) No 1017/2010 opening the sale on the internal market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(f) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EU) No 1017/2010 (2) opened standing invitations to tender for the resale on the internal market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. After the resale through the tenders held since 24 November 2010, a quantity of cereals remained unsold.

(2)

As regards the plan for the distribution of food to the most deprived persons for 2012, the overall quantities of cereals required by the Member States in accordance with Article 1(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (3) exceed the amount currently available. It is therefore appropriate to reserve all the remaining cereal intervention stocks.

(3)	It is therefore appropriate to close the sales of cereals by a tendering procedure opened by Regulation (EU) No 1017/2010 and to repeal that Regulation. Offers received by the intervention agencies of the Member States at or after 11:00 (Brussels time) on 25 May 2011 are hereafter null and void.

(4)	In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5)	The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The sales of cereals by a tendering procedure, opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 1017/2010, are closed.

Article 2

Regulation (EU) No 1017/2010 is hereby repealed.

Article 3

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

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 561/2011

of 10 June 2011

closing the sale provided for in Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 opening the sale of skimmed milk powder by a tendering procedure

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)

Sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder were open by Commission Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 (2) in accordance with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 of 11 December 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards buying-in and selling of agricultural products under public intervention (3).

(2)

In respect of the 2012 food distribution plan, the overall quantities of skimmed milk powder requested by Member States in accordance with Article 1(2)(a) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (4) exceed the currently available quantity. It is therefore appropriate to reserve all remaining quantity of skimmed milk powder in intervention stocks.

(3)

The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 should therefore be closed and that Regulation should be repealed. Consequently, the offers received by the intervention agencies of the Member States from 17 May 2011 from 11.00 (Brussels time) have become devoid of purpose.

(4)	In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5)	The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The sales by a tendering procedure of skimmed milk powder, opened by Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 447/2010, are closed.

Article 2

Regulation (EU) No 447/2010 is repealed.

Article 3

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

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 562/2011

of 10 June 2011

adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2012 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union and derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (3), the Commission has to adopt a distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2012 budget year. That plan has to lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.

(2)	The Member States involved in the distribution plan for the 2012 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

(3)	For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years.

(4)

Taking into account the fact that availability of intervention stocks for the supply of the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived persons is substantially reduced in relation to the previous year, it is appropriate that the 2012 annual plan is adopted as soon as the Member States supplied the Commission with the information required in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. The fast adoption aims to allow the Member States additional time to organize the implementation of the Union annual plan with a view to giving a chance to national authorities and charities to find alternative sources of food.

(5)

Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides that, where no rice is available in intervention stocks, the Commission may authorise the removal of cereals from the intervention stocks as payment for the supply of rice or rice products mobilised on the market. Accordingly, given that there are currently no intervention stocks of rice, the removal of cereals from intervention stocks as payment for mobilising rice products in the market should be authorised.

(6)

Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual distribution plan. Accordingly, the intra-Union transfers necessary to implement that plan for 2012 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

(7)

Due to the current market situation in the cereals sector, which is marked by high market price levels, it is appropriate, in order to secure the Union's financial interests, to increase the security, which is to be lodged by the contractor undertaking the supply operation of cereals as provided for in Articles 4(3) and 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

(8)	To implement the annual distribution plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts.

(9)	In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Union when drawing up the annual distribution plan.

(10)	The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In 2012, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

The use of cereals as payment for mobilising rice products on the market is authorised, as referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

Article 2

The intra-Union transfer of products listed in Annex II to this Regulation shall be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

Article 3

By way of derogation from the fifth subparagraph of Article 4(3) and from the first subparagraph of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, for the 2012 distribution plan, before cereals are removed from intervention, the contractor undertaking the supply operation shall lodge a security equal to EUR 150 per tonne.

Article 4

For the purpose of implementing the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the date of the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 shall be 1 October 2011.

Article 5

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

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

(2011/338/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1), and in particular Article 75(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2), and in particular Article 32(7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (3), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	In accordance with Article 75(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 the commitment of the expenditure shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution.

(2)	Pursuant to Article 31(2) of Decision 2009/470/EC European Union reference laboratories in the field of animal health and live animals may be granted Union aid.

(3)

Accordingly, Union financial assistance should be granted to the European Union reference laboratory designated to carry out the functions provided for in Commission Regulation (EU) No 87/2011 of 2 February 2011 designating the EU reference laboratory for bee health, laying down additional responsibilities and tasks for that laboratory and amending Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

(4)	The Commission has assessed the work programme and corresponding budget estimates submitted by the EU reference laboratory for bee health for the period from 1 April to 31 December 2011.

(5)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1754/2006 of 28 November 2006 laying down detailed rules for the granting of Community financial assistance to Community reference laboratories for feed and food and the animal health sector (5) provides that the financial assistance from the Union is to be granted if the approved work programmes are efficiently carried out and the beneficiaries supply all the necessary information within certain time limits.

(6)	In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1754/2006 the relationship between the Commission and European Union reference laboratories is laid down in a partnership agreement which is supported by a multiannual work programme.

Derogations can be obtained in case a European reference laboratory takes the leadership and responsibility of organising a workshop with another European Union reference laboratory.

(9)

In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) and Article 13 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (6), animal disease eradication and control programmes (veterinary measures) shall be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF).

For financial control purposes, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 are to apply.

(10)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
