COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 347/2014

of 4 April 2014

amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 as regards the increase in the maximum total sulphur dioxide content where the climate conditions make this necessary

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 91 point (c) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (2) sets out the maximum permissible total sulphur dioxide content of wine. Point A(4) of Annex I B thereof provides that the Commission may decide that Member States concerned may authorise an increase of a maximum of 50 milligrams per litre in the maximum total sulphur dioxide levels of less than 300 milligrams per litre, where climate conditions make this necessary.

(2)

On 15 January 2014, the competent German authorities sent an official request to increase the maximum permissible total sulphur dioxide content of wine of less than 300 milligrams per litre by a maximum of 50 milligrams per litre for wine produced from grapes harvested in 2013 in the wine-growing areas of the demarcated areas of the protected designation of origin ‘Mosel’ and of the protected geographical indications ‘Landwein der Mosel’, ‘Landwein der Ruwer’, ‘Landwein der Saar’ and ‘Saarländischer Landwein’.

(3)

The technical note provided by the competent German authorities explains that climate conditions have affected the sanitary quality of grapes harvested in 2013 in the above-mentioned areas. In particular, following a late harvest, several grapes were rotten and a higher quantities of pyruvate, acetaldehyde and alpha-ketoglutaric acid were produced during the fermentation. These substances bind to sulphur dioxide and reduce its preservative action. Therefore, the total quantities of sulphur dioxide needed to ensure the proper vinification and proper preservation are higher in wine produced from those grapes. This is why the temporary authorisation referred in point A(4) of Annex I B to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is the only available option to allow the grapes affected by these unfavourable weather conditions to be used to produce wine suitable for placing on the market.

(4)	Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Appendix 1 of Annex I B to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 3 April 2014

amending Decision 2009/821/EC as regards the lists of border inspection posts and veterinary units in Traces

(notified under document C(2014) 2094)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2014/187/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) and (5) thereof,

Having regard to 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 (3), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Decision 2009/821/EC (4) lays down a list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC. That list is set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(2)	Following communication from Spain and Portugal, the entries for the border inspection posts at Madrid and Tenerife Sur airports in Spain and at Porto airport and at Ponta Delgada port and airport in Portugal should be amended in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(3)

Council Decision 2011/408/EU (5) lays down simplified rules and procedures for the application of sanitary controls for fishery products, bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods and to by-products thereof and products derived from these by-products originating from Greenland or introduced into Greenland from third countries and thereafter imported from Greenland into the Union. Article 5 of that Decision details the requirements for veterinary checks on these products in border inspection posts and that the list of border inspection posts approved in Greenland shall be included in the list of border inspection posts in the Member States approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC.

(4)

The Commission audit service (formerly referred to as Commission inspection service), the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO), has carried out an audit to two proposed border inspection posts in Greenland, following which it made some recommendations to that country. These recommendations were satisfactorily addressed by Greenland with an action plan and the two proposed border inspection posts should be added to the list in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(5)

As the simplified rules and procedures for import controls are only applicable for certain products, a footnote determining fishery products, bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods and to by-products thereof and products derived from these by-products should be added to the special remarks in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(6)

An audit of the FVO was carried out at border inspection posts in Italy in November 2011, following which a number of recommendations were made to that Member State. These recommendations were satisfactorily addressed by Italy with an action plan and with the amendment of the approval categories of the border inspection posts at the ports of Livorno-Pisa, Trieste and Venezia, which should therefore be amended accordingly in the list in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC for that Member State.

(7)	The Netherlands have communicated that a new inspection centre has been added to the border inspection post at the port of Rotterdam. The list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should be amended accordingly.

(8)	Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC lays down the list of central units, regional units and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).

(9)

In accordance with European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (6), Mayotte has ceased to be an overseas country or territory and became an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, with effect from 1 January 2014. The entries for local units for France in Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)	Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Decision 2009/821/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 3 April 2014

on the identification of ICT technical specifications eligible for referencing in public procurement

(notified under document C(2014) 2120)

(2014/188/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 13(1) thereof,

After consulting the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation,

Whereas:

(1)

Standardisation plays an important role in supporting the Europe 2020 strategy, as set out in the Communication from the Commission entitled ‘Europe 2020: a strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ (2). Several flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy underline the importance of voluntary standardisation in product or services markets to assure the compatibility and interoperability between products and services, foster technological development and support innovation.

(2)

In the digital society standardisation deliverables become indispensable to ensure the interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks. The Communication from the Commission entitled ‘A strategic vision for European standards: moving forward to enhance and accelerate the sustainable growth of the European economy by 2020’ (3) recognises the specificity of ICT standardisation where ICT solutions, applications and services are often developed by global ICT Fora and Consortia that have emerged as leading ICT standards development organisations.

(3)

Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 aims at modernising and improving the European standardisation framework. It establishes a system whereby the Commission may decide to identify the most relevant and most widely accepted ICT technical specifications issued by organisations that are not European, international or national standardisation organisations. The possibility to use the full range of ICT technical specifications when procuring hardware, software and information technology services will enable interoperability, will help avoid lock-in for public administrations and will encourage competition in the supply of interoperable ICT solutions.

(4)

The ICT technical specifications that may be eligible for referencing in public procurement must comply with the requirements set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. Compliance with those requirements guarantees the public authorities that the ICT technical specifications are established in accordance with the principles of openness, fairness, objectivity and non-discrimination that are recognised by the World Trade organisation (WTO) in the field of standardisation.

(5)	The decision to identify the ICT specifications is to be adopted after consultation of the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation set up by Commission Decision 2011/C 349/04 (4) complemented by other forms of consultation of sectoral experts.

(6)

On 17 October 2013, the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation evaluated a first set of six ICT technical specifications: internet Protocol version 6 (‘IPv6’), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3 (‘LDAPv3’), Domain Name System Security Extensions (‘DNSSEC’), DomainKeys Identified Mail Signatures (‘DKIM’), ECMAScript-402 Internationalisation Specification (‘ECMA-402’) and Extensible Markup Language version 1.0 (‘W3C XML’). The platform gave a positive advice concerning the identification of those specifications. The six technical specifications were subsequently submitted to a broad public consultation that confirmed the advice of the Platform.

(7)

‘IPv6’ specification issued by the internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) comprises a set of technical specifications to be applied to a broad range of equipment and services through different sets of ‘Requests for Comments’ (RFCs). Depending on the context and the application, public procurers would need to select those RFCs that are needed for each product or service without hampering interoperability. ‘IPv6’ expands the number of available IP addresses thereby allowing the increasing number of operating systems, web servers, search engines and multimedia sites to interact successfully. ‘IPv6’ is based on advanced technological developments and supports the continuing growth of the internet, enabling new internet scenarios such as internet of Things.

(8)

‘LDAPv3’ is an internet Protocol issued by internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for accessing distributed directory services that act in accordance with X.500 data and service models. ‘LDAPv3’ is specified in a series of IETF Standard Track ‘Requests For Comments’ (RFCs) set out in detail in RFC 4510-to-4519 and is able to ensure a high availability with a replication of LDAP servers. Most products for directory services with relevance to the market support ‘LDAPv3’. This is a stable technology that has the potential to increase interoperability and constitutes a de-facto standard for authentication, authorisation and user-/address-directories for ICT systems that can provide better accessibility and continuity especially for public services to be delivered by the public administration.

(9)

‘DNSSEC’ was issued by internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and is a security extension of the Domain Name System (DNS) that provides data origin authentication and data integrity protection to the Domain Name System (DNS) itself. The ‘DNSSEC’ identification comprises the set of documents that form the core of the DNS security extensions that are needed to support public procurement of the ‘DNSSEC’ block. With ‘DNSSEC’ the DNS is better suited for the exchange of security service parameters that are coupled to domain names. This enhances the trust in the DNS (a critical and fundamental internet service) as a whole and thereby allows its use for certificate storage, distribution and verification infrastructure of applications.

(10)

‘DKIM’ is an ICT technical specification developed by internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that permits a person, role or organisation that owns the signing domain to claim some responsibility for a message by associating the domain with the message. DKIM separates the question of the identity of the signer of the message from the purported author of the message. Assertion of responsibility is validated through a cryptographic signature and by querying the signer's domain directly to retrieve the appropriate public key. ‘DKIM’ is implemented across several market sectors, i.e. the financial and banking sector, e-mail providers, social networks or internet commerce providers. If used by public authorities, ‘DKIM’ would establish a basic level of trust in the origin of communications so that interoperability between sending and receiving organisations improves.

(11)

‘ECMA-402’ developed by Ecma International is a general multipurpose programming language described by several specifications that adapt to the linguistic and cultural conventions used by different human languages and countries. The range of ECMAScript is a widely used programming language on the Web, also in Europe. Its usage is very broad, covering web-client based applications like web-browsers, or server-based applications like electronic banking, e-mail severs or even computer games and is also an important programming language used for the World Wide Web. The internationalisation features offered by ECMA-402 are a particularly relevant enhancement of ECMAScript for the multi-linguistic European environment. ECMAScript specifications and standards effectively contribute to an improved interoperability and are very commonly included in national lists of interoperability standards and specifications for public procurement purposes.

(12)

‘W3C XML’, issued by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), is a package of related data structuring specifications that promote widely-scalable sharing of information and computational resources. XML version 1.0 is one of the most widely-used formats for sharing structured information today and many other data format specifications are built on extensions of XML. Its pervasive use as both a person-to-person format and a computer-to-computer format for communicating information makes it an inextricable element of most internet usage. Procurers would need to select the specifications that match the requirements for which they need to procure. The widespread penetration of XML in the world's data stores and networks will ensure that it will be a key format for global ICT interoperability among applications, services and products for decades to come,
