REVISED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

with the United States of America Regarding the Importation of Beef from Animals Not Treated with Certain Growth-Promoting Hormones and Increased Duties Applied by the United States to Certain Products of the European Union

Article I

Purpose and Objectives

With this Understanding, the United States and the European Union intend to achieve the following objectives:

1.

To provide, in a first phase (‘Phase 1’), for temporary and partial:

(a)

expansion by the EU of market access for High Quality Beef, and

(b)

reduction in the level of increased duties applied by the United States to certain EU products authorized by the WTO in 1999 (the ‘increased duties’)

in order for the Parties to gain experience in additional trade in High Quality Beef and facilitate a transition to long-term conditions;

2.

To provide the opportunity to move to a second phase (‘Phase 2’), for:

(a)

further expansion by the EU of market access for High Quality Beef, and

(b)

reduction to zero of the increased duties

in order for the Parties to gain experience in additional expanded trade in High Quality Beef and facilitate a transition to long-term conditions; and

3.

To provide the further opportunity for entering into a third phase (‘Phase 3’) with regard to the WTO dispute between the Parties, EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones).

Article II

Core Obligations

1.   At the beginning of Phase 1, the EU will establish an autonomous tariff rate quota for High Quality Beef of an annual quantity of 20 000 Metric Tonnes product weight, and for which the in-quota tariff rate is zero (0) %.

2.   The EU will open the autonomous tariff rate quota referred to in paragraph 1 by 3 August 2009.

3.   With respect to the increased duties, the United States will not add to scope, change the origin of products subject to increased duties or increase the level of such duties as in force as of 23 March 2009.

4.   Should the United States and the EU enter into Phase 2, as described in Article I.2, and negotiated under Article IV.2:

(a)

the EU will increase the quantity of the autonomous tariff rate quota referred to in paragraph 1 to 45 000 Metric Tonnes product weight, and

(b)

the United States will suspend all increased duties imposed in connection with WTO dispute settlement proceedings in EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones).

5.   Should the United States and the EU enter into Phase 3, as described in Article I.3, and negotiated under Article IV.3:

(a)

the EU will maintain the quantity of the autonomous tariff rate quota referred to in paragraph 1, at the level specified in paragraph 4(a), and

(b)

the United States will cease the increased duties imposed in connection with WTO dispute settlement proceedings in EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones).

Article III

Quota Management

1.   The Parties agree that the tariff rate quota referred to in Article II will be administered by the Commission on a first-come, first-served basis.

2.   The Commission will implement and administer the tariff rate quota set out in this Understanding in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, including its interpretative notes. The Commission will make every effort to administer the tariff rate quota referred to in Article II in a manner that allows importers to fully utilize it.

Article IV

Monitoring and Consultations

1.   The United States and the EU will:

(a)

monitor and review the operation of this Understanding, and

(b)

upon the request of either Party, conduct additional bilateral consultations regarding the operation of this Understanding, including issues of quota management, not later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of the request in writing for consultations.

2.   The United States and the EU will, beginning not later than eighteen (18) months from the date specified in Article II.2, meet to review the operation of Phase 1 with a view to entering into Phase 2.

3.   Should the United States and the EU enter into Phase 2, the United States and the EU will, beginning not later than six (6) months from the date on which the EU implements the obligation set out in Article II.4(a), meet to review the operation of Phase 2 with a view to entering into Phase 3. This review will notably cover, inter alia, the following issues:

(a)

the duration of Phase 3,

(b)

the status and effects of the Understanding relative to the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes (DSU),

(c)

the consequences of non-compliance with the terms of the Understanding by either Party, and

(d)

the status and disposition of any dispute settlement proceeding in EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones).

4.   After concluding the review referred to in paragraph 3, if the Parties agree on conditions for entering into Phase 3, the Parties may, by applying the procedure set out in Article V.5, amend the Understanding in order to reflect the agreed conclusions of that review. Such an amendment will not alter the core obligations as referred to in Article II.5.

5.   As part of this review, the Parties have agreed to modify this Understanding on 21 October 2013.

Article V

Duration, Withdrawal and Amendment

1.   Phase 1 will have a duration of three (3) years from the date specified in Article II.2.

2.   Phase 2 will have a duration of three (3) years from the date the Parties entered into Phase 2.

3.   Phase 3 shall begin upon a notification to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body to this effect.

4.   Either the United States or the EU may withdraw from this Understanding by providing written notice to the other Party. Should either Party provide such written notice, this Understanding shall expire six (6) months from the date such notice was provided. Should both Parties provide such written notice, this Agreement shall expire six (6) months from the earliest of the dates on which such notice was provided. During this six (6) month period, the core obligations, as defined in Article II, applicable at the time of the provision of the withdrawal notice, will be maintained by both Parties.

5.   The United States and the EU may amend this Understanding by mutual agreement in writing.

Article VI

Definitions

For the purposes of this Understanding, ‘High Quality Beef’ means:

‘Beef cuts obtained from carcasses of heifers and steers less than 30 months of age which have only been fed a diet, for at least the last 100 days before slaughter, containing not less than 62 % of concentrates and/or feed grain co-products on a dietary dry matter basis that meet or exceed a metabolisable energy (ME) content greater than 12,26 megajoules (MJ) per one kilogram of dry matter. The heifers and steers fed this diet shall be fed, on average, not less than 1,4 % of live body weight per day on a dry matter basis.

The carcass from which beef cuts are derived shall be evaluated by an evaluator employed by the national government who bases the evaluation, and a resulting classification of the carcass, on a method approved by the national government. The national government evaluation method, and its classifications, must evaluate expected carcass quality using a combination of carcass maturity and palatability traits of the beef cuts. Such an evaluation method of the carcass shall include, but not be limited to, an evaluation of the maturity characteristics of color and texture of the longissimus dorsi muscle and bone and cartilage ossification, as well as an evaluation of expected palatability traits including a combination of the discrete specifications of intramuscular fat and firmness of the longissimus dorsi muscle.

The cuts shall be labeled in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1).

The indication “High Quality Beef” may be added to the information on the label.

Article VII

Reservation of Rights

1.   Neither Party will request the establishment of a panel under Article 21.5 of the DSU in EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones) during Phase 2 or Phase 3 of this Understanding.

2.   Neither this Understanding nor the Parties' taking of any of the steps contemplated by this Understanding prejudices the disagreement between the Parties regarding whether the DSB recommendations and rulings in EC – Measures Concerning Meat and Meat Products (Hormones) have been implemented.

3.   Other than as specifically set forth herein, this Understanding is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the United States and the EU under the WTO agreements.

Article VIII

Relation with WTO Rights

1.   The Parties envisage that Phase 3 would involve termination of the authorization under Article 22.7 of the DSU, made by the DSB at its meeting of July 26, 1999, and that no further action under the DSU with respect to DS26 would be taken.

2.   This Understanding and the step under the DSU referred to in paragraph 1 are without prejudice to any Party's right to initiate a new dispute under the DSU.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 78/2014

of 22 November 2013

amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers, as regards certain cereals causing allergies or intolerances and foods with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols or phytostanol esters

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on the provision of food information to consumers (1), and in particular Articles 10(2) and 21(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 establishes a list of substances or products causing allergies or intolerances. Point 1 of Annex II lists, amongst others, ‘kamut’ and ‘spelt’. However, ‘kamut’ is a registered trademark of a type of wheat, known as ‘khorasan wheat’ and spelt is also a type of wheat. ‘Khorasan wheat’ and ‘spelt’ should therefore be indicated as types of wheat in point 1 of that Annex.

(2)

Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 establishes the list of foods for which the labelling must include one or more additional particulars. Point 5.1 of that Annex provides that the labelling of foods or food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols or phytostanol esters must contain, inter alia, a statement that the food is intended exclusively for people who want to lower their blood cholesterol level.

(3)

That statement, in combination with the health claims authorised for those foods or food ingredients, could potentially lead consumers who do not need to control their blood cholesterol level to use the product and should therefore be amended. Such amendment should reflect the wording of the statement currently provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 (2). That Regulation will be repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 as from 13 December 2014.

(4)

Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The introductory sentence in point 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 is replaced by the following:

‘1.

Cereals containing gluten, namely: wheat (such as spelt and khorasan wheat), rye, barley, oats or their hybridised strains, and products thereof, except:’

Article 2

In the second column of point 5.1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, point (3) is replaced by the following:

‘(3)

a statement that the product is not intended for people who do not need to control their blood cholesterol level;’

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.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 79/2014

of 29 January 2014

amending Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for bifenazate, chlorpropham, esfenvalerate, fludioxonil and thiobencarb in or on certain products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a), Article 18(1)(b) and Article 49(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

For bifenazate, chlorpropham and esfenvalerate, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For fludioxonil and thiobencarb, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation.

(2)

For bifenazate, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (2). It proposed to change the residue definition. As regards citrus fruit, stone fruit, grapes, hops, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, melons, watermelons, currants (red, black and white), blackberries and raspberries, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted further opinions concerning the MRLs (3) (4). It is appropriate to take those opinions into account. The Authority recommended, for certain products, raising or keeping the existing MRLs or setting MRLs at the level identified by it. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for pome fruit, aubergines (egg plants), beans (fresh, without pods), peas (fresh, without pods) and lentils (fresh) some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation.

(3)

For chlorpropham, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (5). It proposed to change the residue definition. It recommended lowering the MRLs for cattle milk, sheep milk and goat milk. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for potatoes, celeriac, onions, shallots, lettuce, scarole, rocket, rucola, spinach, witloof, cardoons, celery, fennel, herbal infusions (dried flowers), spices (fruits and berries), chicory roots, poultry meat, poultry fat, poultry liver and bird’s eggs some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. For other products the Authority recommended keeping the existing MRLs.

(4)

For esfenvalerate, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 12(1) thereof (6). It proposed to change the residue definition. It recommended lowering the MRLs for head cabbage, linseed, rape seed, mustard seed, gold of pleasure, sugar beet (root), swine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), bovine (meat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, liver and kidney) and goat (meat, liver and kidney). It concluded that concerning the MRLs for almonds, apples, pears, cherries, plums, strawberries, raspberries, carrots, horseradish, parsley root, radishes, garlic, onions, peppers, cucurbits with edible peel, melons, sweet corn, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach, parsley, leeks, lentils (dry), barley grain, maize grain, oats grain, rye grain, sorghum grain, wheat grain, spices (seeds), swine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), bovine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, fat, liver and kidney) and goat (meat, fat, liver and kidney) as well as for cattle milk, sheep milk, goat milk, some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. For other products the Authority recommended keeping the existing MRLs.

(5)

For fludioxonil, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (7). It proposed to change the residue definition. As regards fresh herbs, spinach and beet leaves, lettuce, lamb’s lettuce, cress, scarole, rocket/rucola, leaves and sprouts of Brassica spp., celery, celery leaves, radishes and cucurbits inedible peel, after submitting the opinion referred to in the first sentence, the Authority submitted further opinions concerning the MRLs (8) (9) (10). It is appropriate to take those opinions into account. The Authority recommended lowering the MRLs for blueberries, currants (red, black and white), elderberries, gooseberries, kiwi, potatoes, garlic, shallots, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, gherkins, courgettes, sweet corn, lamb’s lettuce, cress, land cress, rocket, rucola, red mustard, leaves and sprouts of Brassica spp., witloof, beans (fresh, without pods), asparagus, fennel, poppy seed, sunflower seed, rape seed, soya bean, cotton seed, barley grain, buckwheat grain, maize grain, millet grain, oats grain, rice grain, rye grain, sorghum grain, wheat grain, sugar beet (roots), poultry meat, cattle milk, sheep milk and goat milk. It concluded that concerning the MRLs for strawberries, cucurbits with inedible peel, celery, bovine (meat, fat, liver and kidney), sheep (meat, fat, liver and kidney) and goat (meat, fat, liver and kidney), some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. Those MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. For other products the Authority recommended keeping the existing MRLs.

(6)

For thiobencarb, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (11). It proposed to change the residue definition.

(7)

The non-inclusion of thiobencarb in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is provided for in Commission Decision 2008/934/EC (12). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing the active substance thiobencarb have been revoked. In accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1)(a) thereof the MRLs set out for those active substances in Annexes II and III should therefore be deleted. This should not apply to CXLs based on uses in third countries, provided that those CXLs are acceptable with regard to consumer safety. Nor should it apply in cases where MRLs have been specifically set as import tolerances.

(8)

As regards products for which neither relevant authorisations nor import tolerances were reported at Union level nor Codex MRLs were available, the Authority concluded that further consideration by risk managers was required. Taking into account the current scientific and technical knowledge, MRLs for those products should be set at the specific limit of determination or at the default MRL in accordance with Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

(9)

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.

(10)

Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)

A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs.

(12)

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.

(13)

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.

(14)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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 19 August 2014.

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, however, apply from 19 August 2014.

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