COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 630/2011

of 21 June 2011

amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market, for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas have been opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1) within which those products can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates.

(2)

The quota volumes, previously established, for autonomous tariff quotas of the Union with order numbers 09.2767, 09.2813, 09.2977, 09.2628, 09.2629 and 09.2635 are insufficient to meet the needs of the Union industry. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased, from 1 July 2011 in the case of the tariff quotas with the order numbers 09.2767 and 09.2813, and from 1 January 2011 in the case of tariff quotas with the order numbers 09.2977, 09.2628, 09.2629 and 09.2635.

(3)	Moreover, for the autonomous tariff quota of the Union with the order number 09.2631 the product description should be revised.

(4)

In addition, it is no longer in the interest of the Union to continue to grant a tariff quota for the second semester of 2011 in respect of the tariff quota with the order number 09.2947. That quota should therefore be closed with effect from 1 July 2011 and the corresponding row should be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010.

(5)	Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	Since some of the measures provided for in this Regulation should take effect from 1 January 2011 and others from 1 July 2011, this Regulation should apply from those dates respectively and enter into force immediately,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 is hereby amended as follows:

(1)	the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2767, 09.2813 and 09.2631 are replaced by the rows set out in Annex I to this Regulation;

(2)	the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2977, 09.2628, 09.2629 and 09.2635 are replaced by the rows set out in Annex II to this Regulation;

(3)	the row for the tariff quota with order number 09.2947 is deleted.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 July 2011.

However, point (2) of Article 1 shall apply from 1 January 2011.

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

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 631/2011

of 21 June 2011

amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial, agricultural and fishery products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)	It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a certain number of new products currently not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 (1).

(2)

Four products with CN and TARIC codes 2933399970, 2933399980, 8507803040 and 8507803050 which are currently listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should be deleted because it is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for those products.

(3)

It is necessary to modify the product description of 15 suspensions in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 in order to take account of technical product developments and economic trends on the market. Those suspensions should be deleted from the list in that Annex and reinserted as new suspensions using new descriptions. Moreover, TARIC codes for 12 products should be changed.

(4)	The suspensions for which those technical modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list of suspensions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 and should be reinserted in that list using new product descriptions, or new TARIC codes.

(5)	In the interest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk in the lists of inserted and deleted suspensions set out in Annex I and Annex II to this Regulation.

(6)

Experience has shown that it is necessary to provide an expiry date for the suspensions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 to ensure that account is taken of technological and economic changes. This should not exclude the premature termination of certain measures or their continuation beyond the expiry date, if economic justification is provided, in accordance with the principles laid down in the Commission communication of 1998 concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2).

(7)	Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)	Since the suspensions laid down in this Regulation have to take effect from 1 July 2011, this Regulation should apply from that date and enter into force immediately,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/96 is hereby amended as follows:

(1)	the rows for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted;

(2)	the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in Annex II to this Regulation are deleted.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 July 2011.

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

(2)

Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 stipulates that subquota III of 2 378 387 tonnes for other third countries be divided into four quarterly subperiods, covering in particular subperiod 3 extending from 1 July to 30 September for a quantity of 594 597 tonnes and subperiod 4 extending from 1 October to 31 December for a quantity of 594 596 tonnes.

(3)	In view of the situation of the market, in order to promote a fluid supply of the EU market in cereals under subquota III for 2011, subperiod 3 and subperiod 4 should be merged into a single subperiod, covering the cumulative quantity for subperiods 3 and 4, namely 1 189 193 tonnes.

(4)	A derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 for 2011.

(5)	In order to ensure effective management of the procedure for issuing import certificates from 1 July 2011, this Regulation must enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

In order to support the supply of cereals on the Community market in the last few months of the 2010/11 marketing year, Commission Regulation (EU) No 177/2011 (2) suspended customs duties for the import tariff quotas for common wheat of low and medium quality and feed barley opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 (3) and (EC) No 2305/2003 (4) respectively, until 30 June 2011.

(2)

The outlook for the cereals market for the start of the next marketing year (2011/12) would suggest that prices will remain high, given the low stock levels and the Commission’s current estimates regarding the quantities which will actually be available from the 2011 harvest. In order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports conducive to EU market equilibrium, there is a need to ensure continuity in cereal imports policy by keeping the temporary suspension of customs duties on imports during the 2011/12 marketing year until 31 December 2011 for the import tariff quotas to which this measure currently applies.

(3)

Moreover, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the Union. Therefore, transport times should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension arrangements provided for in this Regulation, for all products the direct transport of which to the Union started at the latest on 31 December 2011. The evidence to be provided showing direct transport to the Union and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established.

(4)	In order to ensure sound management of the procedure for issuing import licences as from 1 July 2011, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The application of customs duties on imports of products of CN code 1001 90 99, of a quality other than high quality as defined in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/1010 (5), and CN code 1003 00 is suspended for the 2011/12 marketing year for all imports under the reduced-duty tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003.

2. Where the cereals referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article undergo direct transport to the Union and such transport began at the latest by 31 December 2011, the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation shall continue to apply for the purposes of the release into free circulation of the products concerned.

Proof of direct transport to the Union and of the date on which the transport commenced shall be provided, to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities, by the original transport document.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2011.

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 634/2011

of 29 June 2011

opening a standing invitation to tender for the 2010/2011 marketing year for imports of sugar of CN code 1701 at a reduced customs duty

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 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	The world market prices for sugar have been at a constant high level during the first months of the 2010/2011 marketing year, which has slowed down the pace of imports in particular from third countries benefiting from certain preferential agreements.

(2)

Confronted with this situation, the Commission recently adopted a series of measures with the purpose to bring additional supply to the Union market. Those measures included Commission Regulation (EU) No 222/2011 of 3 March 2011 laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2010/2011 (2), which increased the combined availability of sugar and isoglucose on the Union market by 526 000 tonnes, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 302/2011 of 28 March 2011 opening an exceptional import tariff quota for certain quantities of sugar in the 2010/11 marketing year (3), which suspended the import duties for sugar falling within CN 1701 for a quantity of 300 000 tonnes.

(3)

Imports of sugar under Inward Processing in accordance with chapter 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (4) have been reduced and the processing industry has increased the use of quota sugar in exported products. Those developments have maintained the tight supply situation on the Union market, which threaten to cause undersupply during the last months of the marketing year, until the arrival of the new harvest.

(4)

The high prices on the world market for sugar therefore threaten the availability of supply on the Union market. For that reason and with the view to increasing the supply, it is necessary to make imports easier through the reduction of the import duty for certain quantities of sugar. That quantity and the reduction of the duty should be assessed in the light of the current state and foreseeable development of the Union and world sugar market. The quantity and reduction should therefore be based on a tendering system.

(5)	The minimum eligibility requirements to tender should be specified.

(6)	A security should be lodged for each tender. That security should become the security for the import licence application in the case of a successful tender and be released when a tender is unsuccessful.

(7)	The competent authorities of the Member States should notify the Commission of the admissible tenders. In order to simplify and standardise those notifications, models should be made available.

(8)	For each partial invitation to tender, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a minimum customs duty and, if appropriate, an allocation coefficient in order to reduce the quantities accepted, or to decide not to fix a minimum customs duty.

(9)	Member States should inform the tenderers of the result of their participation in the partial invitation to tender within a short period.

(10)	The competent authorities should notify the Commission of the quantities for which import licenses have been issued. For this purpose, models should be made available by the Commission.

(11)	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

A tendering procedure is opened for the 2010/2011 marketing year for imports of sugar of CN code 1701 at a reduced customs duty pursuant to Article 187 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and bearing reference number 09.4314.

That customs duty shall replace the common customs tariff duty and the additional duties referred to in Article 141 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and Article 36 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (5).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (6) shall apply save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.

2. The competent authority concerned shall notify the Commission, by fax, of the admissible tenders submitted within 2 hours after the expiry of the time limit for the submissions laid down in Article 2(1) and (2). That notification shall not contain the data referred to in Article 3(2)(a)(i).

3. The form and content of the notifications shall be defined on the basis of models made available by the Commission to the Member States. When no tenders are submitted, the competent authority shall notify the Commission thereof by fax within the same time limit.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 20 June 2011

authorising Sweden to apply a reduced rate of electricity tax to electricity directly provided to vessels at berth in a port (‘shore-side electricity’) in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC

(2011/384/EU)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)	By letter of 4 March 2010, Sweden sought authorisation to apply a reduced rate of electricity tax to electricity directly provided to vessels at berth in a port (shore-side electricity) pursuant to Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC.

(2)	With the tax reduction it intends to apply, Sweden aims to promote a more widespread use of shore-side electricity as an environmentally less harmful way for ships to satisfy their electricity needs while lying at berth in ports as compared to the burning of bunker fuels on board the vessels.

(3)

In so far as the use of shore-side electricity avoids emissions of air pollutants associated with the burning of bunker fuels on board the vessels at berth, it contributes to an improvement of local air quality in port cities. Under the specific conditions of the electricity generation structure in the region concerned, i.e. the Nordic electricity market including Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, the use of electricity from the onshore grid instead of electricity generated by burning bunker fuels on board is furthermore expected to avoid CO2 emissions. The measure is therefore expected to contribute to the Union’s environmental, health and climate policy objectives.

(4)

Allowing Sweden to apply a reduced rate of electricity taxation to shore-side electricity does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the above mentioned objective, since on-board generation will remain the more competitive alternative in most cases. For the same reason, and because of the current relatively low degree of market penetration of the technology, the measure is unlikely to lead to significant distortions in competition during its lifetime and will thus not negatively affect the proper functioning of the internal market.

(5)

It follows from Article 19(2) of Directive 2003/96/EC that each authorisation granted under that provision is to be strictly limited in time. Given the need for a period long enough in order not to discourage port operators from making the necessary investments, but also the need not to undermine future developments of the existing legal framework, it is appropriate to grant the authorisation requested for a period of 3 years, subject however to the entry into application of general provisions in the matter, at a point in time earlier than the expiry thus foreseen,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Sweden is hereby authorised to apply a reduced rate of electricity taxation to electricity directly supplied to vessels, other than private pleasure craft, berthed in ports (shore-side electricity) provided that the minimum levels of taxation pursuant to Article 10 of Directive 2003/96/EC are respected.

Article 2

This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.

It shall expire on 25 June 2014.

However, should the Council, acting on the basis of Article 113 of the Treaty, provide for general rules on tax advantages for shore-side electricity, this Decision shall expire on the day on which those general rules become applicable.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 June 2011

on the recognition of Ecuador pursuant to Directive 2008/106/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers

(notified under document C(2011) 4440)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2011/385/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2008/106/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on the minimum level of training of seafarers (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 19(3) thereof,

Having regard to the request from Spain on 14 February 2006,

Whereas:

(1)

According to Directive 2008/106/EC Member States may decide to endorse seafarers’ appropriate certificates issued by third countries, provided that the third country concerned is recognised by the Commission. Those third countries have to meet all the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW Convention) (2), as revised in 1995.

(2)

By letter of 14 February 2006, Spain submitted a request for recognition of Ecuador. Following that request from Spain, the Commission assessed the training and certification systems in Ecuador in order to verify whether Ecuador meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether the appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. That assessment was based on the results of an inspection carried out by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in July 2007. During that inspection certain deficiencies in the training and certification systems were identified.

(3)	The Commission provided the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment.

(4)	By letter of 18 March 2009, the Commission requested Ecuador to provide evidence demonstrating that the deficiencies identified had been corrected.

(5)	By letters of 8 May 2009 and 20 May 2009, Ecuador provided the requested information and evidence concerning the implementation of appropriate and sufficient corrective action to address all of the deficiencies identified during the assessment of compliance.

(6)

The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by Ecuador demonstrate that Ecuador meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention, and has taken appropriate measures to prevent fraud involving certificates. It should therefore be recognised by the Commission.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

For the purposes of Article 19 of Directive 2008/106/EC, Ecuador is recognised as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY DECISION

No 111/11/COL

of 11 April 2011

amending the list contained in point 39 of Part 1.2 of Chapter I of Annex I to the Agreement on the European Economic Area listing border inspection posts in Iceland and Norway agreed for veterinary checks on live animals and animal products from third countries and repealing EFTA Surveillance Authority Decision No 8/11/COL

THE EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY,

Having regard to point 4(B)(1) and (3) and point 5(b) of the Introductory Part of Chapter I of Annex I to the EEA Agreement,

Having regard to the Act referred to at point 4 of Part 1.1 of Chapter I of Annex I to the EEA Agreement (Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1)), as amended and adapted to the EEA Agreement by the sectoral adaptations referred to in Annex I to that Agreement, and in particular to Article 6(2) thereof,

Having regard to College Decision No 86/11/COL empowering the competent College Member to adopt this decision,

Whereas:

The EFTA Surveillance Authority (hereinafter the Authority), by Decision No 8/11/COL of 26 January 2011 (2), repealed its Decision No 43/10/COL of 10 February 2010 (3) and drew up a new list of border inspection posts in Iceland and Norway approved for veterinary checks on live animals and animal products from third countries.

On 1 March 2011, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (hereinafter Mattilsynet) informed the Authority that it had suspended the Border Inspection Post (BIP) Båtsfjord Port (TRACES Code NO BJF 1) from the Norwegian list of approved BIPs, following the extensive damage suffered by the facilities of the BIP in a fire on 28 January 2011. Mattilsynet indicated that as a result of this fire, the BIP could no longer fulfil the requirements in the legislation concerning social rooms, laboratory and storage facilities.

The suspension of the approval, and the subsequent provision of information to the Authority, was done in accordance with the Norwegian legislation Instruks om grensekontrollstasjoner mv. Chapter I, point 2, which implements Article 6(3) of Directive 97/78/EC, and according to which the national competent authority shall inform the Authority about changes at a BIP or Inspection Centre (IC) which may be of importance concerning the list contained in point 39 of Part 1.2 of Chapter I of Annex I to the Agreement on the European Economic Area listing border inspection posts in Iceland and Norway.

According to Article 6(4) of Directive 97/78/EC, the Authority shall draw up and publish a list of approved border inspection posts, including cases where approval has been temporarily suspended.

It is therefore the Authority’s obligation to amend the list of border inspection posts in Iceland and Norway and to publish a new list, reflecting the suspension of the BIP Båtsfjord Port (TRACES Code NO BJF 1) from the Norwegian list of BIPs.

The Authority has referred the matter to the EFTA Veterinary Committee assisting the EFTA Surveillance Authority. The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the unanimous opinion of the EFTA Veterinary Committee assisting the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the final text of the measures remains unchanged.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

BIP Båtsfjord Port (TRACES Code NO BJF 1) is suspended until further notice from the list contained in point 39 of Part 1.2 of Chapter I of Annex I to the Agreement on the European Economic Area of border inspection posts in Iceland and Norway agreed for veterinary checks on live animals and animal products from third countries.

Article 2

Veterinary checks on live animals and animal products brought into Iceland and Norway from third countries shall be carried out by the competent national authorities at the agreed border inspection posts listed in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 3

The EFTA Surveillance Authority Decision No 08/11/COL of 26 January 2011 is hereby repealed.

Article 4

This Decision shall enter into force on 11 April 2011.

Article 5

This Decision is addressed to Iceland and Norway.

Article 6

This Decision shall be authentic in the English language.
