(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

(2)

The zinc compounds Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate were authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1334/2003 (3) and (EC) No 479/2006 (4) in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. These products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3)

In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate as feed additives for all animal species. Additionally, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for Zinc chloride anhydrous as feed additive for all animal species. The applicants requested that those additives be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. The applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(4)

The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 1 February 2012 (5), 8 March 2012 (6), 23 May 2012 (7), 15 November 2012 (8), 12 September 2013 (9) and 12 March 2015 (10) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate do not have an adverse effect on animal and human health and that no safety concerns for users would arise provided that appropriate protective measures are taken.

(5)

With respect to the impacts on the environment, in particular the drainage and run-off of zinc to surface water, the Authority recommended in its opinion of 8 April 2014 (11) to decrease significantly the maximum contents of zinc in complete feed for several target species. However, in order not to risk not meeting the physiological needs of animals also in special life periods or any other negative impacts on animal health, the decrease of zinc contents recommended by the Authority should not be introduced in one step. With the objective of further reductions, feed business operators and research institutes should be encouraged to collect new scientific data about the physiological needs of the different animal species.

(6)

The Authority further concluded that Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate are effective sources of zinc. Considering the chemical characteristics of Zinc chelate of amino acids, the Authority recommends its splitting into the following two groups: Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of protein hydrolysates. Moreover, for Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate two different forms have been assessed, a solid and a liquid one. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(7)

The assessment of Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate, Zinc chelate of protein hydrolysates, Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (solid) and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (liquid) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of these substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(8)

As a result of the granting authorisation for ‘Zinc acetate dihydrate’, ‘Zinc oxide’, ‘Zinc sulphate heptahydrate’, ‘Zinc sulphate monohydrate’, ‘Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate’ and ‘Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate’ by this Regulation, the entries on these substances in Regulations (EC) No 479/2006 and (EC) No 1334/2003 are obsolete and should therefore be deleted.

(9)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 (12) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 (13) and (EU) No 636/2013 (14) authorised several zinc compounds as nutritional feed additives. In order to take into account the conclusions of the Authority in its opinion of 8 April 2014, which were also the scientific basis for the provisions concerning the total zinc content in compound feed for the additives authorised by this Regulation and which are mainly referring to the environmental impact of feed supplementation with zinc, it is appropriate to align the maximum contents of zinc in Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013 with the provisions of this Regulation as regards the zinc content in compound feed. Regulations (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)

Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate and the zinc compounds authorised by Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1096

of 6 July 2016

amending Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 as regards the requirements for placing on the market of consignments of certain fish species intended for the Member States or parts thereof with national measures for salmonid alphavirus (SAV) approved by Decision 2010/221/EU

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43 and Article 61(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 (2) lays down conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import of aquaculture animals in Member States or parts thereof which are subject to national measures approved by Commission Decision 2010/221/EU (3).

(2)

Decision 2010/221/EU, allows the Member States listed in Annex I or II thereto to impose requirements for the placing on the market and the import of fish species susceptible to salmonid alphavirus (SAV) into areas regarded as free of that disease or covered by an approved surveillance programme. Consignments of fish of species susceptible to SAV intended for farming, relaying areas, put and take fisheries, open ornamental facilities and restocking, introduced into such Member States or parts thereof, should originate from areas with an equivalent health status and be accompanied by an animal health certificate certifying compliance with those requirements.

(3)	In order to ensure that those requirements are complied with, it is appropriate to include a reference to SAV in in the model health certificate set out in Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008.

(4)

Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 lists species susceptible to diseases for which national measures are approved under Decision 2010/221/EU. The Aquatic Animal Health Code (Aquatic Code) and the Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals (Aquatic Manual) adopted by the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE) currently list Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) as species susceptible to SAV. In the interest of legal clarity with regard to the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008, a reference to SAV and to the fish species susceptible to that virus should be included in Part C of Annex II to that Regulation.

(5)	Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	It is appropriate to allow Member States and the industry sufficient time to take the measures necessary to comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2016/1098

of 4 July 2016

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors regarding the revision of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 209(2), in conjunction with Article 218 (9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 100 of the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States of the other part (‘ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’) states that Annexes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV and VI thereto may be revised, reviewed and/or amended by the ACP-EU Council of Ministers on the basis of a recommendation from the ACP-EU Development Finance Cooperation Committee.

DRAFT

DECISION No 2016/… OF THE ACP-EU COMMITTEE OF AMBASSADORS

regarding the revision of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement

THE ACP-EU COMMITTEE OF AMBASSADORS,

Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States of the other part (1) (‘ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 100 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Article 100 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement states that Annexes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV and VI thereto may be revised, reviewed and/or amended by the ACP-EU Council of Ministers on the basis of a recommendation from the ACP-EU Development Finance Cooperation Committee.

(2)	Article 15(4) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement states that the ACP-EU Council of Ministers may delegate powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors.

(3)

Article 2 of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement relates to the Centre for the Development of Enterprise (‘CDE’). Under point (a) of Article 2(6) of that Annex III, the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors is appointed as the supervisory authority of the CDE with, amongst other things, the responsibility to lay down the statutes of the CDE, which were adopted by Decision No 8/2005 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors (2) (‘CDE Statutes’). Under point (a) of Article 2(7) of Annex III the CDE Executive Board is made, amongst other things, responsible for adopting the CDE's financial regulation and staff regulation.

(4)	Article 1 of the CDE Statutes defines the principle of the legal personality of the CDE.

(5)	Articles 9 and 10 of the CDE Statutes define the CDE Executive Board's mandate and composition.

(6)

At its 39th session held on 19 and 20 June 2014 in Nairobi, Kenya, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers agreed, in a Joint Declaration, to proceed with the orderly closing of the CDE and to the amendment of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and for this purpose, to grant a delegation of powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to take the matter forward with a view to adopting the necessary decisions, including the relevant amendment to that Annex III.

(7)	That Joint Declaration of the ACP-EU Council of Ministers established the ACP-EU Joint Working Group to ensure that the CDE is closed under the best possible conditions.

(8)	The ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors, in its Decision No 4/2014 (3) authorised the CDE Executive Board to take all appropriate measures to prepare for the closure of the CDE. Subsequently, the CDE Executive Board signed a contract with a Curator until 31 December 2016.

(9)	In accordance with Article 2(3) of Decision No 4/2014, the closure plan envisages the finalisation of the winding-up by 31 December 2016 (‘closure phase’). With the CDE Executive Board's approval of the definitive closure plan on 29-30 June 2015, the CDE entered into its closure phase.

(10)

The closure phase should be followed by a ‘passive phase’ in which the CDE will solely exist for the purposes of its liquidation. The passive phase, to be managed by a Curator, may comprise administrative tasks, amongst other things, keeping the archives of the CDE, replying to any administrative formality, or managing residual litigations that could not have been settled during the closure phase. The passive phase should start on the day after the closure phase, namely on 1 January 2017. The passive phase should end after a period of four years, or when the CDE has settled all its liabilities and realised all its assets, whichever happens earlier.

(11)

Under Article 26(1) of the CDE Financial Regulation, adopted by Decision No 5/2004 of the ACP-EC Committee of Ambassadors (4), the CDE's accounts should be closed at the end of the financial year in order to draw-up the CDE's financial statements. Therefore, the statutory audit of the year 2016 related to the closure phase should be finalised at the latest by 30 June 2017.

(12)	The amendments to Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement concern the deletion of the references to the CDE. This Decision constitutes the new legal framework of the CDE as from the start of the passive phase, namely as of 1 January 2017.

(13)	Pursuant to Article 95(1) of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, the Agreement will expire in 2020. The governance structures applicable to the CDE's functioning in the passive phase should therefore be determined also for the period after 29 February 2020,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In order to reflect the cessation of activities of the CDE by 31 December 2016, Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement is amended as follows:

(1)	the title of Annex III is replaced by the following: ‘Institutional Support’.

(2)

Article 1 is replaced by the following:

‘Cooperation shall support the institutional mechanism to promote agriculture and rural development. In this context, cooperation shall help to strengthen and reinforce the role of the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) in ACP institutional capacity development, particularly information management, in order to improve access to technologies for increasing agricultural productivity, commercialisation, food security and rural development.’.

(3)	Article 2 is deleted.

(4)	Article 3 is renumbered as Article 2.

Article 2

1. Before the end of the closure phase, namely 31 December 2016, the European Commission shall contract a Curator to ensure the implementation of the passive phase as from 1 January 2017 for a period of four years, or until the CDE has settled all its liabilities and realised all its assets, whichever happens earlier.

2. The Curator shall be responsible for the implementation of the passive phase. The Curator shall provide annual reports to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors on the progress made on the implementation of the passive phase.

Article 3

1. The CDE Statutes, the CDE Financial Regulation and the CDE Staff Regulation shall remain in force until the end of the closure phase.

This Decision constitutes the new legal framework of the CDE as from 1 January 2017.

2. As from 1 January 2017 the legal personality of the CDE, as defined in Article 1 of the CDE Statutes, shall be maintained solely for the purposes of the liquidation of the CDE.

3. During the passive phase, the CDE Executive Board, as established in Articles 9 and 10 of the CDE Statutes, will continue to exist until the date of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors decision on the discharge proposal pursuant to Article 4 of Decision No 4/2014.

As from the passive phase, the tasks of the CDE Executive Board shall be limited to the approval of the closure report, adoption of the accounts related to the closure phase and the transmission of a discharge proposal to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors for decision. From 1 January 2017, it shall hold no more than one meeting per year. This does not exclude the possibility for the CDE Executive Board to decide by written procedure.

Unless decided otherwise by the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors, the discharge is deemed to be approved three months following the date of the transmission of the discharge proposal, or by 31 December 2017, whichever is the earlier.

4. The costs related to the passive phase shall be financed under the 11th European Development Fund.

5. The entitlements of the CDE in respect of third parties and entitlement of third parties in respect of the CDE shall be subject to a limitation period of three years as from 1 January 2017.

Article 4

The assignment of the ACP-EU Joint Working Group on the closure of the CDE, as established by the Joint Declaration of the ACP-EU Council of Ministers of 19-20 June 2014, shall end with the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors decision on the discharge proposal pursuant to Article 4 of Decision No 4/2014.

Article 5

This Decision shall enter into force upon its adoption, with the exception of Article 1 which shall enter into force on 1 January 2017.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1100

of 5 July 2016

amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Costa Rica, Germany, Lithuania, Namibia and Spain

(notified under document C(2016) 4134)

(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 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 third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides that Member States, third countries or regions thereof (‘countries or regions’) are to be classified according to their bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status into one of three categories: negligible BSE risk, controlled BSE risk and undetermined BSE risk.

(2)	The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC (2) lists the BSE status of countries or regions according to their BSE risk.

(3)	The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of OIE Member Countries and zones by their BSE risk, according to the provisions of its Terrestrial Animal Health Code (Terrestrial Code (3)).

(4)

On 27 May 2016, the OIE World Assembly of Delegates adopted Resolution No 20 titled ‘Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Member Countries’ (4). In addition to the countries previously recognised as having a negligible BSE risk status, that Resolution recognised Costa Rica, Germany, Lithuania, Namibia and Spain as having a negligible BSE risk.

(5)	The list of countries or regions in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to recognise the negligible BSE risk status of these countries.

(6)	The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

amending Annexes I and II to Decision 2004/558/EC as regards the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-free status of the Federal States of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and the Regierungsbezirke Arnsberg, Detmold and Münster in Germany

(notified under document C(2016) 4135)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Article 9(2) and (3) and Article 10(2) and (3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules for trade within the Union in bovine animals. Article 9 of that Directive provides that a Member State which has a compulsory national control programme for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis may submit its programme to the Commission for approval. Article 9 of Directive 64/432/EEC also provides for the definition of the additional guarantees which may be required in intra-Union trade.

(2)

Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EEC provides that where a Member State considers that its territory or part thereof is free of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission. That Article also provides for the definition of the additional guarantees which may be required in intra-Union trade.

(3)

Commission Decision 2004/558/EC (2) approves the programmes for the control and eradication of infection with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV1) presented by the Member States listed in Annex I thereto for the regions listed in that Annex and for which additional guarantees apply in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 64/432/EEC. In addition, Annex II to Decision 2004/558/EC lists the regions of the Member States that are considered free of BHV1 and for which additional guarantees apply in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EEC.

(4)	The Federal States of Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein of Germany are currently listed in Annex I to Decision 2004/558/EC.

(5)

Germany has submitted to the Commission supporting documentation for the Federal States of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and the Regierungsbezirke Arnsberg, Detmold and Münster in the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia to be considered free of BHV1 and for the additional guarantees provided for by Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EEC to apply to them.

(6)

Following the evaluation of the supporting documentation submitted by Germany, the Federal States of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and the Regierungsbezirke Arnsberg, Detmold and Münster in the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia should no longer be listed in Annex I to Decision 2004/558/EC, but instead should be listed in Annex II thereto and the application of the additional guarantees provided for by Article 10 of Directive 64/432/EEC should be extended to cover them. Annexes I and II to Decision 2004/558/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)	Decision 2004/558/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
