GUIDELINES FOR FILLING IN THE APPLICATION FORM

Important information

This form must be filled in in the language or one of the languages accepted by the court to be seised. Please note that the form is available in all official languages of the European Union; this may help you fill in the form in the required language.

If the defendant lodges an opposition to your claim, proceedings will continue before the competent courts in accordance with the rules of ordinary civil procedure. If you do not wish to continue proceedings in that event, you should also fill in Appendix 2 to this form. This appendix should reach the court before the European order for payment is issued.

If the application concerns a claim against a consumer relating to a consumer contract, it must be lodged with the competent court of the Member State in which the consumer is domiciled. In other cases, the application must be lodged with the court having jurisdiction in accordance with the rules of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 (*). Information on the rules of jurisdiction can be found at the European e-Justice Portal https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_jurisdiction-85-en.do

Please make sure you duly sign and date the form on the last page.

Guidelines

At the start of each section you will find specific codes that should be inserted, as appropriate, in the relevant boxes.

1. Court When deciding which court to choose, you need to consider the grounds for the court’s jurisdiction.

2. Parties and their representatives This field must identify the parties and their representatives (e.g. lawyer of, guardian of), if any, in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. The box [Identification code] should refer, where applicable, to the special number which solicitors have in certain Member States for the purposes of electronic communication with the court (see Art. 7(6), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006), to the registration number for companies or organisations or to any applicable identification number for natural persons. The box [Other details] may contain any other information that helps to identify the person (e.g. date of birth, position of the named person in the company or organisation concerned). If there are more than four parties and/or representatives, please use field [11].

3. Grounds for the court's jurisdiction See ‘Important information’ above.

4. Cross-border nature of the case For you to be allowed to use this European order for payment procedure, at least two of the boxes in this field must refer to different States.

5. Bank details (optional) In field [5.1], you may inform the court by what means you intend to pay the court fees. Please note that not all methods of payment in this field are necessarily available at the court to which you are making this application. You should verify which method of payment will be accepted by the court. You can do this by contacting the court concerned or by consulting the website of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters (http://ec.europa.eu/civiljustice/). If you choose to pay by credit card or to allow the court to collect the fees from your bank account, you should give the necessary credit card/bank account details in Appendix 1 to this form.

In field [5.2], you may indicate by what means you wish to receive payment from the defendant. If you wish to be paid by bank transfer, please give the necessary bank details.

6. Principal This field must contain a description of the principal and the circumstances forming the basis of the claim in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. You need to use an identification number (‘ID’) for each claim, numbering them from 1 through 4. Each claim must be specified on the line of the box following the ID number, by filling in the relevant numbers of codes 1, 2 and 3. If you need more space, please use field [11]. The box [Date (or period)] refers, for instance, to the date of the contract or harmful event or to the period of the rent.

7. Interest If interest is sought, this should be specified for each claim in accordance with the codes indicated on the form. The code must contain both the relevant number (first row of the codes) and the letter (second row of the codes). For instance, if the interest rate has been agreed by contract and covers annual periods, the code is 02A. If it is for the court to decide the amount of interest the last box [to] should be left blank, and code 06E should be used. Code 01 refers to an interest rate laid down by statute. Code 02 refers to an interest rate agreed by the parties. If you use Code 03 (capitalisation of interest), the amount indicated should be the basis for the remainder of the term to be covered. Capitalisation of interest refers to the situation where the accrued interest is added to the principal and is taken into account for the purpose of calculating further interest. Please note that in commercial transactions as referred to in Directive 2000/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (**), the statutory interest rate is the sum of the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent main refinancing operation carried out before the first calendar day of the half-year in question (‘the reference rate’), plus at least seven percentage points. For a Member State which is not participating in the third stage of economic and monetary union, the reference rate referred to above is the equivalent rate set at national level (e.g. by the national central bank). In both cases the reference rate in force on the first calendar day of the half-year in question will apply for the following six months (see Article 3(1)(d) of Directive 2000/35/EC). The ‘base rate (ECB)’ refers to the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its main refinancing operations.

8. Contractual penalties (if applicable)

9. Costs (if applicable) If reimbursement of costs is sought, these must be described using the codes indicated on the form. The box [specification] must be used only for code 02, i.e. when reimbursement of costs other than court fees is demanded. These other costs could include, for instance, fees of a claimant’s representative or prelitigation costs. If you request reimbursement of the court fees but you do not know the exact amount, you must fill in the box [Code] (01) but you may leave the box [Amount] blank and it will be filled in by the court. Costs should be stated in the same currency as the principal.

10. Evidence available in support of the claim This field must specify the evidence available in support of each claim using the codes indicated on the form. The box [Description of evidence] will contain, for instance, the title, name, date, and/or reference number of the document concerned, the amount mentioned on the document concerned, and/or the name of the witness or expert.

Text of image

11. Additional statements and further information (if necessary) You may use this field if you need more space for any of the fields above or, if necessary, to provide additional information useful to the court. For instance, if there are several defendants each being liable for a portion of the claim, you should indicate here the amount individually owed by each defendant or if you request joint liability of two or more defendants.

Appendix 1 Here you must indicate the details of your credit card or bank account if you choose to pay the court fees by credit card or if you allow the court to collect the fees from your bank account. Please note that not all methods of payment in this field are necessarily available at the court to which you are making this application. Please note that the information given in Appendix 1 will not be sent to the defendant.

Appendix 2 Here you must inform the court what should happen if you do not wish to continue proceedings in the event of the defendant opposing the claim. Please use the appropriate code. One of the options is that proceedings continue in the European Small Claims Procedure (***). That procedure applies, however, only if your claim does not exceed EUR 5 000. You can find further conditions for this procedure in the European e-Justice Portal at: https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_small_claims-42-en.do If you choose this procedure, please indicate also what should happen if the procedure cannot be applied. Please tick the appropriate box. If you send this information to the court after having sent the application form, please make sure you fill in the case number given by the court. Please note that the information given in Appendix 2 will not be sent to the defendant.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2017/1261

of 12 July 2017

amending Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 as regards an alternative method for processing certain rendered fats

(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 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (1), and in particular Article 20(11)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2) lays down rules implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 including procedures for adoption of an alternative processing method.

(2)

Following an application of the competent authority of Finland for the authorisation of an alternative method for use or disposal of animal by-products or derived products, as referred to in Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a Scientific Opinion on the use of a continuous multi-step catalytic hydro-treatment for the processing of rendered animal fat (Category 1) (3). This method may be used for the production of renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, renewable propane and renewable gasoline. This method has been assessed by EFSA as a safe alternative method for processing of Category 1 rendered fats and the products may be declared as the end point in the manufacturing chain.

(3)	Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

Derived products from the processing of Category 1 and 2 materials are to be permanently marked to ensure traceability and to prevent their entry into the food and feed chain. Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out requirements for the marking of those derived products. However, in accordance with point 3(e) of Chapter V of Annex VIII to that Regulation, marking is not required for renewable fuels referred to in point J of Section 2 of Chapter IV of Annex IV thereto.

(5)

Since the multi-step catalytic hydro-treatment for the processing of rendered animal fat (Category 1) reduces the risks to animal and public health as efficiently as the method set out in point J of Section 2 of Chapter IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, it should also be excluded from the marking requirements by adding reference to this method to point 3(e) of Chapter V to Annex VIII to that Regulation.

(6)	Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)	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:

Article 1

In Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, the following point (k) is added:

‘(k)	renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, renewable propane and renewable gasoline which fulfil the specific requirements for products from the multi-step catalytic hydro-treatment for the production of renewable fuels set out in point 2(f) of Section 3 of Chapter IV of Annex IV.’

Article 2

Annexes IV and VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 are amended in accordance with the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 3

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

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2017/1262

of 12 July 2017

amending Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 as regards the use of manure of farmed animals as a fuel in combustion plants

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2), lays down rules implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 including parameters for the disposal of animal by-products as well as for safe treatment, transformation or processing of animal by-products into derived products.

(2)	In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, combustion as defined in point 41 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 is one of the processes to dispose of animal by-products, including manure.

(3)	Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 provides for the rules for approval of combustion plants using animal by-products as a fuel. Its paragraph 8 should be amended accordingly to address the use of manure of any farmed animals as a fuel.

(4)

Manure of farmed animals may present a sustainable source of fuel for combustion, provided the combustion process complies with specific requirements to efficiently reduce adverse effects of its use as a fuel on animal and public health and the environment. Commission Regulation (EU) No 592/2014 (3) introduced requirements for the use of poultry manure as a fuel in combustion plants. It sets out general requirements for any plant using animal by-products or derived products as fuel and specific requirements for the type of fuel and the type of combustion plant. Manure of farmed animals of species other than poultry may now also be used as a fuel in combustion plants with a total rated thermal input not exceeding 50 MW, under the same conditions as set out for the combustion of poultry manure, including the emission limits and monitoring requirements.

(5)

Operators of combustion plants using manure of farmed animals as fuel should take the necessary hygiene measures to prevent spread of possible pathogens. In this respect, such plants should comply with the general requirements for the use of animal by-products and derived products as a fuel as laid down in Chapter IV of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 and specific requirements for particular types of plants and fuels that may be used for combustion to be provided for by this Regulation.

(6)

The combustion of manure of herbivores, due to its composition, produces higher emissions of particulate matter than the combustion of poultry manure. To address that problem, this Regulation should provide for more flexible emission limit values of particulate matter for very small combustion plants, in order to allow disposal of the manure which could not otherwise be disposed of as fuel for combustion.

(7)

Similarly, this Regulation should allow the competent authorities to grant existing combustion plants a transitional period to comply with requirements on controlled temperature rising of the gas, provided that those emissions do not present risks to public and animal health or the environment. The animal by-products legislation does not prevent Member States from applying the relevant calculation rules for emission limit values, set out in the environmental legislation, when manure of farmed animals is combusted together with other fuels or waste.

(8)	Annex XVI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 provides for specific requirements for official controls. Following the introduction of requirements for the combustion of manure of farmed animals as a fuel by this Regulation, those specific requirements should also apply with respect to that process.

(9)	Annexes III and XVI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should be amended accordingly.

(10)	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) 2017/1263

of 12 July 2017

updating the list of invasive alien species of Union concern established by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (1), and in particular Article 4(1) and (2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141 (2) establishes a list of invasive alien species of Union concern (‘the Union list’), which is to be kept updated as appropriate, in accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014.

(2)

The Commission has concluded, on the basis of the available evidence and the risk assessments carried out pursuant to Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014, that all criteria set out in Article 4(3) of that Regulation are met for the following invasive alien species: Alopochen aegyptiacus Linnaeus, 1766; Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.; Asclepias syriaca L.; Elodea nuttallii (Planch.) St. John; Gunnera tinctoria (Molina) Mirbel; Heracleum mantegazzianum Sommier & Levier; Impatiens glandulifera Royle; Microstegium vimineum (Trin.) A. Camus; Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michaux; Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray, 1834; Ondatra zibethicus Linnaeus, 1766; Pennisetum setaceum (Forssk.) Chiov.

(3)	The Commission has concluded that for all those invasive alien species all elements set out in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 have been duly considered.

(4)

Some Member States envisage applying to the Commission for authorizing the continuation of farming Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray, 1834 under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 for alleged compelling public interests of a social or economic nature. Against this background, the inclusion of this species on the Union list should be subject to a transition period to allow completing the procedure of Article 9 of that Regulation before the listing of this species takes effect.

(5)

Since the date of adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141, the CN codes laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3) have been updated, with the most recent amendments having been laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1821 (4). Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Invasive Alien Species,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1141 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 IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2017/1265

of 11 July 2017

amending the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU concerning animal health control measures relating to African swine fever in certain Member States

(notified under document C(2017) 4686)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Implementing Decision demarcates and lists certain areas of those Members States in Parts I to IV thereof, differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Estonia, Lithuania and Poland.

(2)

In June 2017, two outbreaks of African swine fever in domestic pigs occurred in the county of Parnu in Estonia and in the municipality of Varena in Lithuania, in areas currently listed in Part II of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. The occurrence of these outbreaks constitutes an increase in the level of risk that needs to be taken into account.

(3)

In June 2017, one cases of African swine fever in wild boar was observed in the gmina of Sokółka in Poland in an area currently listed in Part I of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. The occurrence of this case constitutes an increase in the level of risk that needs to be taken into account.

(4)

The evolution of the current epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the affected domestic and feral pig populations in the Union should be taken into account in the assessment of the animal health risk posed by the new disease situation in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland. In order to focus the animal health control measures provided for in Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU, and to prevent the further spread of African swine fever, while preventing any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union, and avoiding unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision should be amended to take into account of the changes in the epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland. Accordingly, the areas affected by the new outbreaks in Estonia and Lithuania should now be listed in Part III, instead of in Part II of that Annex and the relevant area of Poland should now be listed in Part II, instead of Part I, of that Annex.

(5)	The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	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:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
