COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 690/2014

of 23 June 2014

amending Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2011/137/CFSP of 28 February 2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (1),

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 (2) gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2011/137/CFSP.

(2)

On 19 March 2014, the United Nations (UN) Security Council adopted Resolution 2146 (2014) (UNSCR 2146 (2014)) prohibiting the loading, transport or discharge of crude oil illicitly exported from Libya on vessels flying the flag of a Member State designated by the Sanctions Committee (‘designated vessels’), in the absence of direction from the Government of Libya focal point.

(3)

UNSCR 2146 (2014) also requires measures to be taken to prevent designated vessels from entering ports and the provision of bunkering or ship supply services, or other servicing, to designated vessels, if the designation by the Sanctions Committee has so specified.

(4)

Furthermore, UNSCR 2146 (2014) prohibits transactions with respect to crude oil illicitly exported from Libya aboard designated vessels, if the designation by the Sanctions Committee has so specified. However, since UNSCR 2146 (2014) allows for the entry into ports of designated vessels in certain cases, port fees, including with regard to crude oil aboard such vessels, may be accepted in those cases.

(5)

For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to amend the list of designated vessels to which those measures apply pursuant to amendments of Annex V to Decision 2011/137/CFSP and on the basis of determinations made by the Sanctions Committee under paragraphs 11 and 12 of UNSCR 2146 (2014).

(6)

On 23 June 2014, Decision 2011/137/CFSP was amended by Council Decision 2014/380/CFSP (3) to give effect to those measures.

(7)

Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 is amended as follows:

(1)

in Article 1, the following points are added:

‘(h)

“designated vessels” means vessels designated by the Sanctions Committee as referred to in paragraph 11 of UNSCR 2146 (2014), as listed in Annex V to this Regulation;

(i)

“the Government of Libya focal point” means the focal point appointed by the Government of Libya as notified to the Sanctions Committee in accordance with paragraph 3 of UNSCR 2146 (2014).’;

(2)

the following Article is inserted:

‘Article 10b

1.   It shall be prohibited to load, transport or discharge crude oil from Libya on designated vessels flying the flag of a Member State unless authorised by the competent authority of that Member State after consultation with the Government of Libya focal point.

2.   It shall be prohibited to accept or provide access to ports in the territory of the Union to designated vessels, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified.

3.   The measure laid down in paragraph 2 shall not apply where the entry to a port in the territory of the Union is necessary for an inspection, in the case of an emergency or where the vessel is returning to Libya.

4.   The provision by nationals of Member States or from territories of Member States of bunkering or ship supply services, or any other servicing of vessels, to designated vessels, including the provision of fuel or supplies, shall, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified, be prohibited.

5.   The competent authorities of the Member States identified in Annex IV may grant exemptions to the measure imposed by paragraph 4 where necessary for humanitarian or safety purposes, or where the vessel is returning to Libya. Any such authorisation must be notified to the Sanctions Committee and the Commission in writing.

6.   Financial transactions with respect to crude oil aboard designated vessels, including the sale of the crude oil or the use of the crude oil as credit, as well as taking out insurance with respect to the transport of the crude oil shall, if the Sanctions Committee has so specified, be prohibited. Such prohibition does not apply to the acceptance of port fees in the cases referred to paragraph 3.’;

(3)

Article 15 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 15

The Commission shall be empowered to:

(a)

amend Annex IV on the basis of information supplied by Member States;

(b)

amend Annex V pursuant to amendments of Annex V to Decision 2011/137/CFSP and on the basis of determinations made by the Sanctions Committee under paragraphs 11 and 12 of UNSCR 2146 (2014).’;

(4)

Annex V is added as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

ANNEX

Persons referred to in Article 1

1.   FRANÇOIS YANGOUVONDA BOZIZÉ

LAST NAME: BOZIZÉ

FIRST NAME: François Yangouvonda.

ALIAS: Bozizé Yangouvonda

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 14 October 1946/Mouila, Gabon

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Son of Martine Kofio

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the Central African Republic (CAR): Since the coup d'état on 24 March 2013, Bozizé provided financial and material support to militiamen who are working to destabilise the ongoing transition and to bring him back to power. François Bozizé, in liaison with his supporters, encouraged the attack of 5 December 2013 on Bangui. The situation in the CAR deteriorated rapidly after the 5 December 2013 attack in Bangui by anti-balaka forces that left over 700 people dead. Since then, he has continued trying to run destabilization operations and to federate the anti-balaka militias, in order to maintain tensions in the capital of the CAR. Bozizé tried to reorganise many elements from the Central African Armed Forces who dispersed into the countryside after the coup d'état. Forces loyal to Bozizé have become involved in reprisal attacks against the CAR's Muslim population. Bozizé called on his militia to pursue the atrocities against the current regime and the Islamists.

2.   NOURREDINE ADAM

LAST NAME: ADAM

FIRST NAME: Nourredine

ALIAS: Nourredine Adam; Nureldine Adam; Nourreldine Adam; Nourreddine Adam

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 1970/Ndele, CAR

Alternate dates of birth: 1969, 1971

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION:

 

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the CAR: Noureddine is one of the original leaders of the Séléka. He has been identified as both a General and the President of one of the armed rebel groups of the Séléka, the Central PJCC, a group formally known as the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace and whose acronym is also acknowledged as CPJP. As former head of the ‘Fundamental’ splinter group of the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace (CPJP/F), he was the military coordinator of the ex-Séléka during offensives in the former rebellion in the Central African Republic between early December 2012 and March 2013. Without Noureddine's involvement, the Séléka would likely have been unable to wrest power from former CAR President François Bozizé. Since the appointment as interim president of Catherine Samba-Panza on 20 January 2014, he was one of the main architects of the ex-Séléka's tactical withdrawal in Sibut with the aim of implementing his plan to create a Muslim stronghold in the north of the country. He had clearly urged his forces to resist the injunctions of the transitional government and of the military leaders of the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic (MISCA). Noureddine actively directs ex-Séléka, the former Séléka forces that were dissolved by Djotodia in September 2013, and directs operations against Christian neighbourhoods and continues to provide significant support and direction to the ex-Séléka operating in the CAR.

Involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that violate international human rights law or international humanitarian law, as applicable: After the Séléka took control of Bangui on 24 March 2013, Nourredine Adam was appointed Minister for Security, then Director-General of the ‘Extraordinary Committee for the Defence of Democratic Achievements’ (Comité extraordinaire de défense des acquis démocratiques — CEDAD, a now-defunct CAR intelligence service). Nourredine Adam used the CEDAD as his personal political police, carrying out many arbitrary arrests, acts of torture and summary executions. In addition, Noureddine was one of the key figures behind the bloody operation in Boy Rabe. In August 2013, Séléka forces stormed Boy Rabe, a CAR neighbourhood regarded as a bastion of François Bozizé supporters and his ethnic group. Under the pretext of looking for arms caches, Séléka troops reportedly killed scores of civilians and went on a rampage of looting. When these raids spread to other quarters, thousands of residents invaded the international airport, which was perceived as a safe place because of the presence of French troops, and occupied its runway.

Providing support for armed groups or criminal networks through illegal exploitation of natural resources: In early 2013, Nourredine Adam played an important role in the ex-Séléka's financing networks. He travelled to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to collect funds for the former rebellion. He also operated as a facilitator for a Chadian diamond-trafficking ring operating between the Central African Republic and Chad.

3.   LEVY YAKETE

LAST NAME: YAKETE

FIRST NAME: Levy

ALIAS: Levi Yakite; Levy Yakite

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 14 August 1964/Bangui, CAR

Alternate date of birth: 1965

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Son of Pierre Yakété and Joséphine Yamazon.

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the CAR: On 17 December 2013, Yakete became the political coordinator of the newly formed People's Resistance Movement for Reforming of the Central African Republic anti-balaka rebel group. He has been directly involved in decisions of a rebel group that has been involved in acts that have undermined peace, stability and security in the CAR, in particular on and since 5 December 2013. In addition, this group has been explicitly singled out by UNSC Resolutions 2127, 2134 and 2149 for such acts. Yakete has been accused of ordering the arrest of people connected to the Séléka, calling for attacks on people who do not support President Bozizé, and recruiting young militiamen to attack those hostile to the regime with machetes. Having remained in the entourage of François Bozizé after March 2013, he joined the Front for the Return to Constitutional Order in the CAR (Front pour le Retour à l'Ordre Constitutionnel en CentrAfrique — FROCCA), which aimed to return the deposed president to power by whatever means necessary. In late summer 2013, he travelled to Cameroon and Benin, where he attempted to recruit people to fight against the Séléka. In September 2013, he tried to regain control over operations led by pro-Bozizé fighters in towns and villages near to Bossangoa. Yakete is also suspected of promoting the distribution of machetes to young unemployed Christians to facilitate their attacks on Muslims.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 692/2014

of 23 June 2014

concerning restrictions on the import into the Union of goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol, in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2014/386/CFSP (1) concerning restrictions on goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol, in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol,

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

At its meeting of 20-21 March 2014, the European Council strongly condemned the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (‘Crimea’) and the city of Sevastopol (‘Sevastopol’) to the Russian Federation and emphasised that it will not recognise the annexation. The European Council asked the Commission to evaluate the legal consequences of that annexation and to propose economic, trade and financial restrictions regarding Crimea for rapid implementation.

(2)

In its Resolution of 27 March 2014, the United Nations General Assembly affirmed its commitment to the sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, underscoring the invalidity of the referendum held in Crimea on 16 March, and called upon all States not to recognise any alterations in the status of Crimea and of Sevastopol.

(3)

On 23 June 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/386/CFSP concerning restrictions on goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol and on the provision, directly or indirectly, of financing or financial assistance, as well as insurance and reinsurance, related to the import of such goods, in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. In order to minimise the effect of such restrictive measures on economic operators, exceptions and transitional periods should be provided for in respect of trade in goods and related services for which transactions are required by a trade contract or ancillary contract, subject to a notification procedure.

(4)

These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring their uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement them.

(5)

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, it should enter into force on the day following that of its publication,

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 694/2014

of 17 December 2013

supplementing Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards determining types of alternative investment fund managers

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010 (1), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

It is important that regulatory technical standards determining types of AIFMs supplement the rules in Directive 2011/61/EU so that certain requirements of the Directive are applied to AIFMs in a uniform manner.

(2)

It is desirable to distinguish whether an AIFM is managing AIFs of the open-ended or closed-ended type or both in order to apply correctly the rules on liquidity management and the valuation procedures of Directive 2011/61/EU to AIFMs.

(3)

The distinguishing factor in determining whether an AIFM is managing AIFs of the open-ended or closed-ended type should be the fact that an open-ended AIF repurchases or redeems its shares or units with its investors, at the request of any of its shareholders or unitholders, prior to the commencement of its liquidation phase or wind-down and does so according to the procedures and frequency set out in its rules or instruments of incorporation, prospectus or offering documents. A decrease in the capital of the AIF in connection with distributions according to the rules or instruments of incorporation of the AIF, its prospectus or offering documents, including one that has been authorised by a resolution of the shareholders or unitholders passed in accordance with those rules or instruments of incorporation, prospectus or offering documents of the AIF, should not be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether or not the AIF is of the open-ended type.

(4)

The repurchases or redemptions which should be relevant for determining whether an AIFM is managing AIFs of the open-ended or closed-ended type should only be the ones made out of the assets of the AIF. Therefore, whether an AIF's shares or units can be negotiated on the secondary market and are not repurchased or redeemed by the AIF should not be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether or not the AIF is of the open-ended type.

(5)

An AIFM that manages one or more open-ended AIFs and one or more closed-ended AIFs at the same time should apply to each AIF the specific rules relating to the relevant type of AIF.

(6)

Any change in the redemption policy of an AIF implying that the AIF may be considered no longer as being an AIF of the open-ended type or an AIF of the closed-ended type, should lead the AIFM to cease to apply the rules relating to the old redemption policy of the AIF it manages and to apply the rules relating to the new redemption policy of such AIF.

(7)

For the purposes of Article 61(3) and (4) of Directive 2011/61/EU account should be taken of the legal structures under which closed-ended AIFs were established before 22 July 2013. When the Directive was adopted no harmonised definition existed in the Union regarding the legal structure of closed-ended AIFs, which varied between Member States. This reality is reflected in the text of the Directive, which qualifies as closed-ended AIFs certain existing legal structures that have no redemption rights exercisable during the period of 5 years from the date of the initial investment. Article 61(3) and (4) of Directive 2011/61/EU provides for transitional periods during which existing AIFMs, in so far as they manage closed-ended AIFs that are in an advanced or final stage of their investment cycle, as evidenced by their expiring date or by their impossibility to make any additional investment after 22 July 2013, can continue to manage such AIFs without authorisation or without having to comply with a significant part of the Directive. Consequently, in order to preserve the scope of those provisions as intended in light of this objective and the above mentioned background, it should be also considered to be an AIFM of a closed-ended AIF for the purposes of Article 61(3) and (4) of Directive 2011/61/EU, each AIFM in so far it manages AIFs whose shares or units are repurchased or redeemed after an initial period of at least 5 years during which redemption rights are not exercisable.

(8)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to the Commission.

(9)

ESMA has conducted open public consultations in relation to the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Types of AIFMs

1.   An AIFM may be either or both of the following:

an AIFM of open-ended AIF(s);

an AIFM of closed-ended AIF(s).

2.   An AIFM of an open-ended AIF shall be considered to be an AIFM which manages an AIF the shares or units of which are, at the request of any of its shareholders or unitholders, repurchased or redeemed prior to the commencement of its liquidation phase or wind-down, directly or indirectly, out of the assets of the AIF and in accordance with the procedures and frequency set out in its rules or instruments of incorporation, prospectus or offering documents.

A decrease in the capital of the AIF in connection with distributions according to the rules or instruments of incorporation of the AIF, its prospectus or offering documents, including one that has been authorised by a resolution of the shareholders or unitholders passed in accordance with those rules or instruments of incorporation, prospectus or offering documents, shall not be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether or not the AIF is of the open-ended type.

Whether an AIF's shares or units can be negotiated on the secondary market and are not repurchased or redeemed by the AIF shall not be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether or not the AIF is of the open-ended type.

3.   An AIFM of a closed-ended AIF shall be an AIFM which manages an AIF other than of the type described in paragraph 2.

4.   Where a change in the redemption policy of the AIF has the effect of changing the type of AIF(s) an AIFM manages, the rules relevant to the new type of AIF shall be applied to that AIF by the AIFM.

5.   For the purposes of Article 61(3) and (4) of Directive 2011/61/EU, an AIFM in so far as it manages AIFs whose shares or units are, at the request of any of its shareholders or unitholders, repurchased or redeemed prior to the commencement of its liquidation phase or wind-down, directly or indirectly, out of the assets of the AIFs after an initial period of at least 5 years during which redemption rights are not exercisable shall also be considered to be an AIFM of a closed-ended AIF.

Article 2

Entry into force

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 IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/78/EU

of 17 June 2014

amending Annexes I, II, III, IV and V to Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular points (c) and (d) of the second paragraph of Article 14 thereof,

After consulting the Member States concerned,

Whereas:

(1)

In view of increased international trade and in order to protect plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gory and Anthonomus eugenii Cano to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.

(2)

In order to protect the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to delete the harmful organisms Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Citrus greening bacterium and Diaphorina citri Kuway from Section I of Part A of Annex II of Directive 2000/29/EC and to add them to Section I of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.

(3)

The presence of the harmful organisms Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al. and Trioza erytreae Del Guercio poses an unacceptable risk to the production and the trade of plants, plant products and other objects. Therefore, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to move those harmful organisms, from Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC to Annex I thereto. Information submitted by Portugal shows that those harmful organisms are now known to occur within the Union. Consequently, they should be added to Section II of Part A of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.

(4)

It is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved to delete the harmful organism Monilinia fructicola (Winter) Honey from Section I of Part A of Annex I and Ciborinia camelliae Kohn from Section I of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC since those harmful organisms have spread and are established within a large part of the Union, and no measures are feasible to eradicate them or contain their further spread.

(5)

It is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved to delete the organism Citrus vein enation woody gall from Section II of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC given its observed low impact.

(6)

Certain plants, plant products and other objects are likely to host the following harmful organisms Agrilus anxius Gory, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, Amauromyza maculosa (Malloch), Anthonomus eugenii Cano, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (non-European populations), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al., Citrus greening bacterium, Diaphorina citri Kuway, Ditylenchus dipsaci (Kühn) Filipjev, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), Liriomyza sativae(Blanchard), Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Spodoptera eridania (Cramer), Spodoptera frugiperda Smith, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) and Trioza erytreae Del Guercio which are listed or are to be listed in Part A of Annexes I or II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Developments in scientific and technical knowledge, show that the special requirements set out in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC are inadequate to reduce to an acceptable level, the phytosanitary risk caused by the introduction of those plants, plant products and other objects into the Union, and their movement within the Union. Therefore it is necessary to amend those special requirements and to add additional special requirements. In the case of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al. the special requirements set out in Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should also be amended to align them with Union rules on internal movement against this harmful organism.

(7)

As regards certain plants, plant products and other objects not listed in Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC, developments in scientific and technical knowledge, show that their introduction into the Union, and their movement within the Union may pose an unacceptable phytosanitary risk due to their likelihood to host the harmful organisms referred to in recital 6. Therefore it is necessary that those plants, plant products and other objects should be listed in Part A of Annex IV.

(8)

In addition, the plants, plant products or other objects referred to in recital 6 should be subject to plant health inspections before being introduced, or moved within, the Union. Therefore, those plants, plant products and other objects should be listed in Parts A and B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC.

(9)

Frequent interceptions at import of Manihot esculenta Crantz, of Limnophila L. and Eryngium L., and of Capsicum L. have shown that the leaves of Manihot esculenta Crantz, the leafy vegetables of Limnophila L. and Eryngium L., and the fruits of Capsicum L. are likely to host harmful organisms listed in Annexes I and II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Therefore those plants should be subject to a plant health inspection before being introduced into the Union and their introduction should only be permitted if they are accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate. Consequently, they should be listed in Section I of Part B of Annex V.

(10)

Taking into account the revised FAO International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 ‘Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade’ it is considered that the current approach in Directive 2000/29/EC to impose different requirements, depending on whether the wood packaging material is actually in use or not, should be abandoned, since this approach is not anymore technically justified. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(11)

Similarly, wood used to wedge or support all types of cargo should be considered a type of wood packaging material, in line with the definitions in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15, since there is no technical justification anymore for regulating it separately from other types of wood packaging material. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly

(12)

It is considered that the formulation of the phytosanitary requirements based on a heat treatment of wood and isolated bark need to be amended to clarify that the requested heating time refers to continuous minutes, and that the requested temperature needs to be achieved throughout the entire profile of the wood or isolated bark in order to reach successful elimination of wood-infesting harmful organisms. Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(13)

The CN codes for coniferous wood need to be updated in Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC, to cover coniferous wood of a thickness not exceeding 6 mm, which according to a recent pest risk analysis also poses a risk for the introduction of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Bührer) Nickle et al..

(14)

The names of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith, Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. and citrus greening bacterium should be amended in line with the revised scientific denomination of those organism. Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith should be referred to as Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al.. Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten ex Farw. should be referred to as Solanum lycopersicum L.. The Citrus greening bacterium should be referred to as Candidatus Liberibacter spp., causal agent of Huanglongbing disease of citrus/citrus greening.

(15)

Council Directive 2007/33/EC (2) establishes measures to be taken against European populations of potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens and Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens) in order to determine their distribution, to prevent their spread and to control them. The current provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC concerning potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens and Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber) Behrens) should be updated to align with the requirements of Directive 2007/33/EC. Annexes IV and V to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

By Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (3), certain zones are recognised as protected zones in respect of various harmful organisms. Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 has been amended to take account of the latest developments with regard to the protected zones within the Union and the following harmful organisms: Citrus tristeza virus (European strains), Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. It is therefore necessary to amend Annexes I to V to Directive 2000/29/EC accordingly, to ensure that the requirements concerning protected zones with regard to the respective harmful organisms are consistent.

(17)

Moreover, several areas within the Union which have been recognised as protected zones with regard to certain harmful organisms, no longer fulfil the requirements because those harmful organisms are now established there. Those areas are the following: the autonomous communities of Castilla la Mancha, Murcia, Navarra and La Rioja, and the Comarca of the Community of Calatayud (Aragon) and the province of Guipuzcoa (Basque Country) (Spain), Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the province of Sondrio (Lombardy) (Italy), the communes of Ohrady, Topoľníky and Trhová Hradská (Slovakia) with regard to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.; the Regional Unit of Argolida and Chania (Greece), Corsica (France) and Algarve (Portugal) with regard to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains). Part B of Annex II, Part B of Annex III and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(18)

In order to protect the production and trade of plants, plant products and other objects, it is technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved, to add the harmful organisms Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu and Thaumatopoea processionea L. to Part B of Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC.

(19)

From information provided by Ireland, Portugal and the United Kingdom it appears that the territories of these countries are free from Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, and that those territories fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annex I and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. Similarly, Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended to introduce requirements for the movement of certain plants, plant products and other objects into the protected zones.

(20)

From information provided by Ireland and the United Kingdom it appears that the territory of Ireland and part of the territory of the United Kingdom are free from Thaumatopoea processionea L., and that those areas fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annex I and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. Similarly, Part B of Annex IV and Part A of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended to introduce requirements for the movement of certain plants, plant products and other objects into the protected zones.

(21)

From a recent pest risk analysis carried out by France it emerges that Ips amitinus Eichhof does not pose an unacceptable phytosanitary risk in Corsica (France). Therefore Corsica should be removed from the list of protected zones with regard to this harmful organism. Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(22)

From information provided by the United Kingdom it appears that Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr is not present in the Isle of Man, and that the Isle of Man fulfils the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(23)

A recent pest risk analysis shows that the current requirements for introduction into, and movement within, certain protected zones of plants, plant products and other objects with regard to Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr are inadequate to reduce the phytosanitary risk in question to acceptable levels. Those requirements should be updated. Part B of Annex II, Part B of Annex IV, Section II of Part A of Annex V and Section II of Part B of Annex V to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(24)

From information provided by France and Italy, it appears that Picardie (département de l'Aisne) and Ile de France (communes de Citry, Nanteuil-sur-Marne et Saâcy-sur-Marne) and Apulia are free from Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO, and they fulfil the conditions set out in point (h) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC for the establishment of a protected zone with respect to that harmful organism. Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(25)

From information provided by Switzerland it appears that Switzerland (except the Canton of Ticino and the Misox Valley) is free from Grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. It is therefore appropriate to include Switzerland (except the Canton of Ticino and the Misox Valley) as an area wherefrom plants of Vitis L. may be introduced into protected zones in respect of the organism. Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly.

(26)

Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(27)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2014/81/EU

of 23 June 2014

amending Appendix C of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of toys, as regards bisphenol A

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the safety of toys (1), and in particular Article 46(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2009/48/EC establishes general requirements for substances which are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (2). Such substances may not be used in toys, in components of toys or in micro-structurally distinct parts of toys, except if inaccessible to children, permitted by a Commission decision or contained in individual concentrations equal to or smaller than the relevant concentrations established for the classification of mixtures containing them as CMRs. To further protect children's health, specific limit values for such substances can be set out, when appropriate, for toys intended for use by children under three years old or other toys intended to be placed in the mouth.

(2)

The substance bisphenol A is a high volume chemical that is widely used in the production of a large variety of consumer products. Bisphenol A is used as a monomer in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate plastics are used, amongst others, in the manufacture of toys. Moreover, bisphenol A has been found in certain toys.

(3)

Council Directive 88/378/EEC of 3 May 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning the safety of toys (3) governed the essential safety requirements for chemical properties of toys until 19 July 2013. European standard EN 71-9:2005+A1:2007 provides a migration limit of 0,1 mg/l for bisphenol A. European standards EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005 provide the relevant test methods. The limits and methods for bisphenol A set out in EN 71-9:2005+A1:2007, EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005 are used by the toy industry as a reference to ensure that there is no unsafe exposure from bisphenol A in toys. Yet, those standards do not constitute harmonised standards.

(4)

Bisphenol A is classified under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as toxic for reproduction category 2. In the absence of any specific requirements, bisphenol A can be contained in toys in concentrations equal to or smaller than the relevant concentration established for the classification of mixtures containing it as CMRs, namely 5 % as from 20 July 2013 and 3 % as from 1 June 2015 respectively. It cannot be excluded that that concentration may lead to increased exposure of small children to bisphenol A, compared to the migration limit of 0,1 mg/l for bisphenol A set by European standards EN 71-9:2005+A1:2007, EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005.

(5)

Bisphenol A was comprehensively evaluated in 2003 and 2008 under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances (4). The final risk assessment report, entitled ‘Updated European Union Risk Assessment Report 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol (bisphenol-A)’, found, among other things, that bisphenol A has endocrine modulating activity in a number of in vitro and in vivo screening assays and concluded that further research was needed to resolve the uncertainties surrounding the potential for bisphenol A to produce adverse effects on development at low doses. Nevertheless, a high level of protection of children against risks caused by chemical substances in toys, in the light of the particular needs of children, who are a vulnerable group of consumers, warrants incorporating the migration limit of 0,1 mg/l for bisphenol A into Directive 2009/48/EC.

(6)

The effects of bisphenol A are under evaluation in scientific fora including the European Food Safety Authority. The migration limit laid down by this Directive should be reviewed if relevant new scientific information becomes available in the future.

(7)

Directive 2009/48/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Toy Safety Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Appendix C of Annex II to Directive 2009/48/EC is replaced by the following:

COUNCIL DECISION 2014/380/CFSP

of 23 June 2014

amending Decision 2011/137/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 28 February 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/137/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (1).

(2)

On 19 March 2014, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2146 (2014) (UNSCR 2146 (2014)), authorising UN Member States to inspect on the high seas vessels designated by the Committee established pursuant to paragraph 24 of UNSCR 1970 (2011) (‘the Committee’).

(3)

UNSCR 2146 (2014) provides that flag States of designated vessels shall, if the designation by the Committee has so specified, take the necessary measures to direct such vessels not to load, transport, or discharge crude oil illicitly exported from Libya aboard the vessels, in the absence of direction from the Government of Libya focal point.

(4)

Furthermore, UNSCR 2146 (2014) provides that UN Member States shall, if the designation by the Committee has so specified, take the necessary measures to prohibit designated vessels from entering their ports, unless such entry is necessary for the purpose of an inspection, in the case of emergency or in the case of return to Libya.

(5)

In addition, UNSCR 2146 (2014) provides that if the designation by the Committee has so specified, the provision of bunkering services, such as provision of fuel or supplies, or other servicing of vessels, to designated vessels should be prohibited, unless the provision of such services is necessary for humanitarian purposes, or in the case of return to Libya.

(6)

UNSCR 2146 (2014) also provides that if the designation by the Committee has so specified, financial transactions with respect to crude oil illicitly exported from Libya aboard designated vessels should not be engaged in.

(7)

In accordance with Decision 2011/137/CFSP, the Council has carried out a complete review of the lists of persons and entities set out in Annexes II and IV to that Decision.

(8)

The identifying information in relation to one entity on the list of persons and entities set out in Annex IV to Decision 2011/137/CFSP should be updated.

(9)

There are no longer grounds for keeping two entities on the list of persons and entities set out in Annex IV to Decision 2011/137/CFSP.

(10)

Decision 2011/137/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

2.   Member States should, before undertaking an inspection as referred to in paragraph 1, first seek the consent of the vessel's flag State.

3.   Member States undertaking an inspection as referred to in paragraph 1 shall submit promptly a report on the inspection to the Committee containing relevant details, including efforts made to seek the consent of the vessel's flag State.

4.   Member States undertaking inspections as referred to in paragraph 1 shall ensure that such inspections are carried out by warships and ships owned or operated by a State and used only on government non-commercial service.

5.   Paragraph 1 shall not affect the rights, obligations or responsibilities of Member States under international law, including rights or obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, including the general principle of exclusive jurisdiction of a flag State over its vessels on the high seas, with respect to non-designated vessels and in any other situation than that referred to in that paragraph.

6.   Annex V includes the vessels referred to in paragraph 1 designated by the Committee in accordance with paragraph 11 of UNSCR 2146 (2014).

Article 4c

1.   A Member State that is a flag State of a designated vessel shall, if the designation by the Committee has so specified, direct the vessel not to load, transport, or discharge crude oil illicitly exported from Libya aboard the vessel, in the absence of direction from the Government of Libya focal point, as referred to in paragraph 3 of UNSCR 2146 (2014).

2.   Member States shall, if the designation by the Committee has so specified, deny entry into their ports of designated vessels, unless such entry is required for the purpose of an inspection, or in the case of emergency or in the case of return to Libya.

ANNEX

Persons referred to in Article 1

1.   FRANÇOIS YANGOUVONDA BOZIZÉ

LAST NAME: BOZIZÉ

FIRST NAME: François Yangouvonda.

ALIAS: Bozize Yangouvonda

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 14 October 1946/Mouila, Gabon

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Son of Martine Kofio

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the Central African Republic (CAR): Since the coup d'état on 24 March 2013, Bozizé provided financial and material support to militiamen who are working to destabilise the ongoing transition and to bring him back to power. François Bozizé, in liaison with his supporters, encouraged the attack of 5 December 2013 on Bangui. The situation in CAR deteriorated rapidly after the 5 December 2013 attack in Bangui by anti-balaka forces that left over 700 people dead. Since then, he has continued trying to run destabilisation operations and to federate the anti-balaka militias, in order to maintain tensions in the capital of CAR. Bozizé tried to reorganise many elements from the Central African Armed Forces who dispersed into the countryside after the coup d'état. Forces loyal to Bozizé have become involved in reprisal attacks against CAR's Muslim population. Bozizé called on his militia to pursue the atrocities against the current regime and the Islamists.

2.   NOURREDINE ADAM

LAST NAME: ADAM

FIRST NAME: Nourredine

ALIAS: Nourredine Adam; Nureldine Adam; Nourreldine Adam; Nourreddine Adam

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 1970/Ndele, CAR

Alternate dates of birth: 1969, 1971

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION:

 

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of CAR: Noureddine is one of the original leaders of the Séléka. He has been identified as both a General and the President of one of the armed rebel groups of the Séléka, the Central PJCC, a group formally known as the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace and whose acronym is also acknowledged as CPJP. As former head of the ‘Fundamental’ splinter group of the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace (CPJP/F), he was the military coordinator of the ex-Séléka during offensives in the former rebellion in the Central African Republic between early December 2012 and March 2013. Without Noureddine's involvement, the Séléka would likely have been unable to wrest power from former CAR President François Bozizé. Since the appointment as interim president of Catherine Samba-Panza on 20 January 2014, he was one of the main architects of the ex-Séléka's tactical withdrawal in Sibut with the aim of implementing his plan to create a Muslim stronghold in the north of the country. He had clearly urged his forces to resist the injunctions of the transitional government and of the military leaders of the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic (MISCA). Noureddine actively directs ex-Séléka, the former Séléka forces that were dissolved by Djotodia in September 2013, and directs operations against Christian neighbourhoods and continues to provide significant support and direction to the ex-Séléka operating in CAR.

Involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that violate international human rights law or international humanitarian law, as applicable: After the Séléka took control of Bangui on 24 March 2013, Nourredine Adam was appointed Minister for Security, then Director General of the ‘Extraordinary Committee for the Defence of Democratic Achievements’ (Comité extraordinaire de défense des acquis démocratiquesCEDAD, a now-defunct CAR intelligence service). Nourredine Adam used the CEDAD as his personal political police, carrying out many arbitrary arrests, acts of torture and summary executions. In addition, Noureddine was one of the key figures behind the bloody operation in Boy Rabe. In August 2013, Séléka forces stormed Boy Rabe, a CAR neighbourhood regarded as a bastion of François Bozizé supporters and his ethnic group. Under the pretext of looking for arms caches, Séléka troops reportedly killed scores of civilians and went on a rampage of looting. When these raids spread to other quarters, thousands of residents invaded the international airport, which was perceived as a safe place because of the presence of French troops, and occupied its runway.

Providing support for armed groups or criminal networks through illegal exploitation of natural resources: In early 2013, Nourredine Adam played an important role in the ex-Séléka's financing networks. He travelled to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to collect funds for the former rebellion. He also operated as a facilitator for a Chadian diamond-trafficking ring operating between the Central African Republic and Chad.

3.   LEVY YAKETE

LAST NAME: YAKETE

FIRST NAME: Levy

ALIAS: Levi Yakite; Levy Yakite

DATE OF BIRTH/PLACE OF BIRTH: 14 August 1964/Bangui, CAR

Alternate date of birth: 1965

PASSPORT/IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Son of Pierre Yakété and Joséphine Yamazon.

DESIGNATION/JUSTIFICATION: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of CAR: On 17 December 2013, Yakete became the political coordinator of the newly formed People's Resistance Movement for Reforming of the Central African Republic anti-balaka rebel group. He has been directly involved in decisions of a rebel group that has been involved in acts that have undermined peace, stability and security in the CAR, in particular on and since 5 December 2013. In addition, this group has been explicitly singled out by UNSC Resolutions 2127, 2134 and 2149 for such acts. Yakete has been accused of ordering the arrest of people connected to the Séléka, calling for attacks on people who do not support President Bozizé, and recruiting young militiamen to attack those hostile to the regime with machetes. Having remained in the entourage of François Bozizé after March 2013, he joined the Front for the Return to Constitutional Order in CAR (Front pour le Retour à l'Ordre Constitutionnel en CentrAfrique — FROCCA), which aimed to return the deposed president to power by whatever means necessary. In late summer 2013, he travelled to Cameroon and Benin, where he attempted to recruit people to fight against the Séléka. In September 2013, he tried to regain control over operations led by pro-Bozizé fighters in towns and villages near to Bossangoa. Yakete is also suspected of promoting the distribution of machetes to young unemployed Christians to facilitate their attacks on Muslims.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 6 March 2014, the Heads of State or Government of the Union's Member States strongly condemned the unprovoked violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Russian Federation.

(2)

On 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/145/CFSP (1) concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

(3)

At its meeting on 20-21 March 2014, the European Council strongly condemned the illegal annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (‘Crimea’) and the city of Sevastopol (‘Sevastopol’) to the Russian Federation and emphasised that it will not recognise it. The European Council considered that certain economic, trade and financial restrictions regarding Crimea should be proposed for rapid implementation.

(4)

On 27 March 2014, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 68/262 on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, affirming its commitment to the sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders, underscoring the invalidity of the referendum held in Crimea on 16 March, and calling upon all States not to recognise any alterations to the status of Crimea and Sevastopol.

(5)

In these circumstances, the Council considers that the import into the European Union of goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol should be prohibited, with the exception of goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol having been granted a certificate of origin by the Government of Ukraine.

(6)

In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Decision are effective, it should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.

(7)

Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1.   The import into the Union of goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol shall be prohibited.

2.   It shall be prohibited to provide, directly or indirectly, financing or financial assistance, as well as insurance and reinsurance, related to the import of goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol.

Article 2

The prohibitions set out in Article 1 shall not apply to goods originating in Crimea or Sevastopol which have been made available for examination to, and have been controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and which have been granted a certificate of origin by the Government of Ukraine.

Article 3

The prohibitions set out in Article 1 shall be without prejudice to the execution until 26 September 2014 of contracts concluded before 25 June 2014 or ancillary contracts necessary for the execution of such contracts, to be concluded and executed not later than 26 September 2014.

Article 4

It shall be prohibited to participate, knowingly and intentionally, in activities the object or effect of which is to circumvent the prohibitions laid down in Article 1.

Article 5

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

This Decision shall apply until 23 June 2015.

This Decision shall be kept under constant review. It shall be renewed, or amended as appropriate, if the Council deems that its objectives have not been met.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 16 June 2014

setting up the list of regions and areas eligible for funding from the European Regional Development Fund under the cross-border and transnational components of the European territorial cooperation goal for the period 2014 to 2020

(notified under document number C(2014) 3898)

(2014/388/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on specific provisions for the support from the European Regional Development Fund to the European territorial cooperation goal (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) and the first subparagraph of Article 3(3) thereof,

After consulting the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) supports the ‘European territorial cooperation goal’ in certain regions corresponding to level 3 of the common classification of territorial units for statistics (hereinafter referred to as ‘NUTS level 3’) for cross-border cooperation, in all regions corresponding to level 2 of the common classification of territorial units for statistics (hereinafter referred to as ‘NUTS level 2’) for transnational cooperation, which was established by Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 31/2011 (4). It is therefore necessary to set out these lists of eligible regions.

(2)

Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, the list of eligible regions for cross-border cooperation is also to specify those NUTS level 3 regions of the Union taken into account for the ERDF allocation for cross-border cooperation at all internal borders, and those external borders covered by the external financial instruments of the Union, such as the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 232/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and the Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 231/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

(3)

Pursuant to the fifth subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, at the request of the Member State or Member States concerned, this list may also cover NUTS level 3 regions in outermost regions along maritime borders separated by more than 150 km as cross-border areas.

(4)

Pursuant to Article 3(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, the Commission decision setting out the lists of cross-border and transnational areas is also to mention, for information purposes, the regions of third countries or territories, as referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 3 of that Regulation.

(5)

It is therefore necessary to establish the lists of cross-border and transnational areas eligible for funding from the ERDF, broken down by cooperation programme,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The regions and areas eligible for funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the cross-border component of the European territorial cooperation goal shall be those listed in Annex I.

Article 2

The NUTS level 3 regions of the Union which have been taken into account for the ERDF allocation for cross-border cooperation, but which are not part of any cross-border area listed in Annex I, and which will be covered by the external financial instruments of the Union, such as the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 232/2014 and the Pre- Accession Assistance (IPA II) within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 231/2014, shall be those listed in Annex II.

Article 3

The regions and areas eligible for funding from the ERDF under the transnational component of the European territorial cooperation goal shall be those listed in Annex III.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 23 June 2014

on additional historical aviation emissions and additional aviation allowances to take into consideration the accession of Croatia to the European Union

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2014/389/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia (1), and in particular Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Point (i) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia concerning the inclusion of all flights between two aerodromes situated in the Croatian territory, and all flights between an aerodrome situated in the Croatian territory and an aerodrome situated in a country outside the EEA area (hereinafter referred to as ‘additional aviation activities’) sets out that, by way of derogation from Article 3c(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the period referred to in Article 13(1) of that Directive and beginning on 1 January 2013 shall start on 1 January 2014 for the additional aviation activities.

(2)

Pursuant to point (ii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia, by way of derogation from Article 3c(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC, the Commission shall decide, following the procedure referred to in that same provision, on the historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities within a period of six months from the date of accession.

(3)

The total quantity of allowances to be allocated to aircraft operators is defined as a percentage of historical aviation emissions. Point (s) of Article 3 of Directive 2003/87/EC defines historical aviation emissions as the mean average of the annual emissions in the calendar years 2004, 2005 and 2006 from aircraft performing an aviation activity listed in Annex I to that Directive. Article 3c(2) of that Directive provides that the total quantity of allowances to be allocated to aircraft operators should be calculated on the basis of that historical average.

(4)

The Commission has been assisted by Eurocontrol, in accordance with Article 18b of Directive 2003/87/EC, in the calculation of historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities. The best available data for the calculation of the historic emissions was considered to be the comprehensive air traffic data contained in Eurocontrol's databases from the Central Route Charges Office and the Central Flow Management Unit. Those provide the actual route length for each individual flight. Emissions were then calculated on a flight-by-flight basis using the Abatement of Nuisances Caused by Air Transport 3 methodology and the Calculation of Emissions by Selective Equivalence methodology. That approach to calculating historic emissions was further enhanced through use of actual fuel consumption information provided voluntarily by a representative number of aircraft operators in order to validate the results.

(5)

The annual emissions of additional aviation activities in the calendar year 2004 from aircraft performing an aviation activity set out in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC is considered to be 114 024 tonnes of CO2. The annual emissions in the calendar year 2005 from such aircraft is considered to be 126 827 tonnes of CO2, and the annual emissions in the calendar year 2006 from such aircraft is considered to be 127 120 tonnes of CO2. The historical aviation emissions are 122 657 tonnes of CO2.

(6)

Pursuant to point (viii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia, by way of derogation from point (d) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, for the additional aviation activities, the number of allowances to be allocated free of charge shall be calculated by multiplying the benchmark referred to in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of that Directive by the sum of the tonne-kilometre data included in the applications submitted to the Commission in accordance with point(vi) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia.

(7)

The Commission has analysed the applications related to the additional aviation activities submitted by Croatia in accordance with point (vi) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia and the calculations of the historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities provided by Eurocontrol and concludes that the benchmark specified in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC should not be subject to a uniform correction factor as provided for in point (viii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia.

(8)

Pursuant to point (iii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia, by way of derogation from Article 3d(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC, from 1 January 2014, the percentage of the allowances to be auctioned for the additional aviation activities shall be the proportion of the allowances remaining after having deducted the number of allowances to be allocated free of charge under point (d) of Article 3e(3) of that Directive and the number of allowances to be set aside in a special reserve under Article 3f of that Directive.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Decision have been considered within the Climate Change Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The additional historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities are 122 657 tonnes of CO2.

Article 2

The Union-wide total number of allowances for the additional aviation activities relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 116 524.

Article 3

Calculations relating to the number of allowances to be allocated for additional aviation activities in accordance with the benchmark referred to in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC shall be rounded down to the nearest allowance.

Article 4

The Union-wide total number of allowances to be allocated free of charge for additional aviation activities relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 41 584.

Article 5

The additional Union-wide total number of allowances to be set aside in the special reserve is 3 495.

Article 6

The additional Union-wide number of aviation allowances to be auctioned relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 71 445.

Article 7

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

Done at Brussels, 23 June 2014.
