COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/26
of 13 January 2016
amending Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as regards nonylphenol ethoxylates
(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 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 68(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 2 August 2013, the Kingdom of Sweden submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) a dossier (‘the Annex XV dossier’) pursuant to Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, in order to initiate the restriction procedure set out in Articles 69 to 73 of that Regulation. Initially, the Annex XV dossier indicated that exposure to nonylphenol (‘NP’) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (‘NPE’) posed a risk to the environment, specifically to aquatic species living in surface water. In order to limit such risk the dossier proposed to prohibit the placing on the market of textile articles that can be washed in water, if they contained NP or NPE in concentrations equal to or higher than 100 mg/kg (0,01 % by weight). The Annex XV dossier demonstrated that action on a Union-wide basis is necessary. |
|
(2) |
During public consultation on the Annex XV dossier, Sweden recommended removing NP from the scope of the restriction proposal as it is not used intentionally in textile processing. The exclusion of NP was considered justified by the Agency's Committees for Risk Assessment (‘RAC’) and Socio-Economic Analysis (‘SEAC’) when evaluated in terms of the effectiveness, practicality and monitorability of the restriction. Therefore, only NPE should be subject to the proposed restriction. |
|
(3) |
In the Annex XV dossier NPE are defined as branched and linear ethoxylates of nonylphenol which cover substances defined by CAS or EC numbers and UVCB substances, polymers and homologues. The substances in that group are identified by the molecular formula (C2H4O)nC15H24O. |
|
(4) |
Several market surveys, referred to in the Annex XV dossier, identified the presence of NPE in textile articles, at different concentrations. The placing on the market and use of NPE, as substances or in mixtures, for the purpose of textiles and leather processing are already restricted by entry 46 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. However, during reasonably foreseeable conditions of washing textile articles in water, release of NPE into the aquatic environment poses risks to aquatic species. |
|
(5) |
For reason of coherence with Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the proposed restriction on textile articles should cover products which consist of at least 80 % of textile fibres by weight and other products that contain a part that consists of at least 80 % textile fibres by weight. Furthermore, for reason of clarity it is convenient to indicate that textile articles cover unfinished, semi-finished and finished goods, including products such as clothing (e.g. for people, toys and animals), accessories, interior textiles, fibres, yarn, fabrics and knitted panels. |
|
(6) |
On 3 June 2014, RAC adopted by consensus an opinion on the restriction suggested in the Annex XV dossier, confirming that there is a risk due to exposure to degradation products of NPE. RAC further advised that a restriction is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the risks posed by NPE in textile articles, both in terms of effectiveness and practicability. |
|
(7) |
On 9 September 2014, SEAC adopted by consensus an opinion on the restriction suggested in the Annex XV dossier, indicating that the proposed restriction on NPE is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the risks identified in terms of the proportionality of socioeconomic benefits to socioeconomic costs. |
|
(8) |
In accordance with the Annex XV dossier and as confirmed by RAC and SEAC, the limit of 0,01 % by weight is the lowest concentration that is commensurate with the intentional treatment of textiles with NPE. Comments received during the public consultation confirmed that a limit lower than 0,01 % by weight would present considerable enforcement difficulties because textiles can become contaminated with NPE at such low concentrations due to incidental exposure during the production process. Furthermore, reducing the limit of 0,01 % by a factor of five (to 0,002 % by weight) would only lower emissions by a factor of about 1,25, which would reduce NPE surface water concentrations by an additional 5 % compared to the limit of 0,01 % by weight. |
|
(9) |
The Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement was consulted and its recommendations were taken into account. |
|
(10) |
On 1 October 2014 the Agency submitted to the Commission the opinions of RAC and SEAC based on which the Commission concluded that the presence of NPE in textile articles poses an unacceptable risk to the environment which needs to be addressed on a Union-wide basis. The socioeconomic impact of this restriction, including the availability of alternatives, has been taken into account. |
|
(11) |
It is assumed that second-hand textiles will usually have been washed several times prior to any supply or making available to a third party and will therefore contain negligible amounts of NPE, if any. Accordingly, the placing on the market of second-hand textile articles should be exempted from the restriction. Similarly, recycled textiles may be assumed to contain negligible amounts of NPE, if any, and accordingly the restriction should not apply to new textile articles, where those have been produced using exclusively recycled textiles without the use of NPE. |
|
(12) |
Stakeholders should be allowed sufficient time to take appropriate compliance measures, in particular to ensure adequate communication within the complex global supply chain. The new restriction should therefore only apply from a later date. |
|
(13) |
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(14) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/27
of 13 January 2016
amending Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specific cases to exports thereof. |
|
(2) |
According to Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 and Chapter B of Annex III to that Regulation, Member States submit to the Commission, each year, information on the monitoring of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies on their territories, and the Commission presents a summary of this information to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed. |
|
(3) |
Following an agreement between the European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, the preparation and publication of the Union annual summary report on the monitoring and testing of ruminants for the presence of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies will be transferred from the Commission to the European Food Safety Authority. Chapter B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended so as to reflect these new modalities. |
|
(4) |
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 prohibits the feeding to certain farmed animals of processed animal proteins, in particular those derived from non-ruminants. |
|
(5) |
In addition, according to point (b)(ii) of Chapter II of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, fishmeal and compound feed containing fishmeal may be used for feeding non-ruminant farmed animals, including aquaculture animals. |
|
(6) |
Point 3 of Section A of Chapter III of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides that bulk processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants, and bulk compound feed containing such protein, shall be transported in vehicles and containers which are not used for the transport of feed intended for non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals. Since fishmeal and compound feed containing fishmeal are authorised to be used in feed for all non-ruminant farmed animals, this provision should not apply to fishmeal or to compound feed containing fishmeal. Point 3 of Section A of Chapter III of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended in order to exclude fishmeal. |
|
(7) |
Section E of Chapter V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides that the export of processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants, and of products containing such protein, is to be authorised only if they are destined for uses not prohibited by that Regulation and if a written agreement is concluded, prior to the export, between the competent authority of the exporting Member State, or the Commission, and the competent authority of the importing third country, which contains an undertaking from the importing third country to respect the intended use and not to re-export the processed animal protein, or the products containing such protein, for uses prohibited by Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. |
|
(8) |
This requirement was originally intended to control the spread of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) at a time when BSE was epidemic in the Union and when the European continent was the main part of the world affected by the epidemic. However, the BSE situation in the Union has since then significantly improved. In 2013, 7 cases of BSE were reported in the Union and in 2014, there were 11 reported cases, compared to 2 166 reported cases in 2001 and 2 124 reported cases in 2002. This improvement of the BSE situation in the Union is reflected in the fact that 20 Union Member States are now recognised as having a negligible BSE risk status in accordance with Commission Decision 2007/453/EC (2) as amended. |
|
(9) |
The requirement laid down in Section E of Chapter V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 providing the obligation to conclude a written agreement with the third country of destination as a prerequisite for exporting non-ruminant processed animal protein, and products containing such protein, and the prohibition that these products are used in third countries to feed farmed animals, except for aquaculture animals, should therefore be deleted. |
|
(10) |
Section D of Chapter IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down conditions for the production and use of non-ruminant processed animal-protein destined to be used for feeding aquaculture animals and compound feed containing such protein, which require a complete separation between ruminant and non-ruminant materials at each stage of the production chain, and require regular sampling and analysis to verify the absence of cross-contamination. Those conditions should also be required for non-ruminant processed animal protein, and compound feed containing such protein, intended for export, so as to ensure that exported processed animal protein and compound feed containing such protein provide the same level of safety as those used on the Union territory. |
|
(11) |
As petfood and fishmeal are produced in processing plants dedicated exclusively to the production of products derived from aquatic animals, except sea mammals, respectively to the production of petfood, the requirement providing that exports are permitted only from establishments, in which the requirements of Section D of Chapter IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 are met, should not apply to petfood or to fishmeal. |
|
(12) |
Section E of Chapter V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(13) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |

Whereas:
|
