COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/1513
of 10 October 2018
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 certain substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR), category 1A or 1B
(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(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down criteria for the classification of chemical substances in hazard classes, including the hazard classes carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity and reproductive toxicity, category 1A or 1B. Substances classified in any of those three hazard classes are referred to collectively in this Regulation as ‘CMR substances’. |
|
(2) |
Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 lays down restrictions on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of certain dangerous substances, mixtures and articles. The Commission has developed criteria for the identification of articles that contain CMR substances and could be used by consumers, in relation to which it would be appropriate to add a new restriction to Annex XVII using the simplified procedure referred to in Article 68(2) of that Regulation. According to the criteria developed by the Commission, clothing, other textiles and footwear are considered a priority case (3). |
|
(3) |
Certain CMR substances are present in clothing and related accessories, other textiles and footwear, either as impurities from the production process or because they have been added intentionally to give them specific properties. |
|
(4) |
Information from public authorities and stakeholders' reports indicate the potential for consumers to be exposed to CMR substances present in clothing and related accessories, other textiles or footwear through contact with the skin or through inhalation. These products are widely available for use by consumers, including in a private capacity or when using a product within the context of a service provided to the general public (for example bedlinen in a hospital or upholstery in a public library). Therefore, in order to minimise such consumer exposure, the placing on the market of CMR substances in clothing and related accessories (including, inter alia, sportswear and bags), or footwear for use by consumers should be prohibited where the CMR substances are present in concentrations above a certain level. For the same reason, this restriction should also cover the situation where CMR substances are present in those concentrations in other textiles that come into contact with human skin to an extent that is similar to clothing (for example, bedlinen, blankets, upholstery or reusable nappies). |
|
(5) |
The Commission has consulted stakeholders on the substances and articles that should fall within the scope of the new restriction under Article 68(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (4) and discussed specific aspects of the restriction (including the concentration limits and availability of testing methods) with them in a technical workshop (5). |
|
(6) |
The substances to be restricted each have different properties and are used in different processes in the clothing and related accessories, textile and footwear industries. Therefore, maximum concentration limits should be specified, either for individual substances or for groups of substances, taking into account the technical feasibility of achieving those limits and the availability of appropriate analytical methods. Formaldehyde is used in jackets and coats, and in upholstery, to confer structural and flame retardant properties respectively. Due to the lack of information on suitable alternatives, a less stringent concentration should apply, for a limited period, to formaldehyde in jackets, coats or upholstery in order to allow operators to adapt to the restriction. |
|
(7) |
Clothing, related accessories and footwear, or parts of clothing, related accessories and footwear, that are made entirely out of natural leather, fur or hide should not be covered by the new restriction to be adopted by this Regulation because different chemical substances and processes are used in their production. For the same reason, non-textile fasteners and decorative attachments should not be covered by the new restriction. |
|
(8) |
Wall-to-wall carpets and textile floor coverings for indoor use, rugs and runners should for the time being be exempted from the new restriction due to potential regulatory overlap and because other substances may be relevant for them. The Commission should review the exemption as well as the appropriateness of a separate restriction. |
|
(9) |
Personal protective equipment within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and medical devices within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) should be exempted from the new restriction because of the need for such equipment and devices to fulfil specific requirements in terms of safety and functionality. |
|
(10) |
The European Chemical Agency's Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement, referred to in Article 76(1)(f) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, was consulted during the process for developing the restriction and its recommendations have been taken into account. |
|
(11) |
Operators should be allowed sufficient time to take appropriate measures to comply with the restriction adopted by virtue of this Regulation. The new restriction should therefore only apply from a specified date that is later than the date on which this Regulation enters into force. |
|
(12) |
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(13) |
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) 2018/1514
of 10 October 2018
amending Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for abamectin, acibenzolar-S-methyl, clopyralid, emamectin, fenhexamid, fenpyrazamine, fluazifop-P, isofetamid, Pasteuria nishizawae Pn1, talc E553B and tebuconazole in or on certain products
(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(1) and Article 14(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For abamectin, acibenzolar-S-methyl, fenhexamid, fluazifop-P, isofetamid and tebuconazole, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For clopyralid, emamectin and fenpyrazamine, MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to that Regulation. For Pasteuria nishizawae Pn1 and talc E553B, no specific MRLs were set nor were those substance included in Annex IV to that Regulation, so the default value of 0,01 mg/kg laid down in Article 18(1)(b) thereof applies. |
|
(2) |
In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance abamectin on citrus fruits, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs. |
|
(3) |
As regards acibenzolar-S-methyl, such an application was submitted for aubergines and cucurbits. As regards clopyralid, such an application was submitted for spring onions and leeks. As regards emamectin, such an application was submitted for leafy brassica, beans (with pods) and peas (with pods). As regards fenhexamid, such an application was submitted for plums, blueberries, cranberries, currants, gooseberries and beans (with pods). As regards fenpyrazamine, such an application was submitted for lettuces, salad plants, spinaches and similar leaves. As regards fluazifop-P, such an application was submitted for tomatoes. As regards isofetamid, such an application was submitted for tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, okra and cucurbits (with edible peel). As regards tebuconazole, such an application was submitted for olives, rice, ‘herbs and edible flowers’ and herbal infusions from flowers, leaves and herbs. |
|
(4) |
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, those applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission. |
|
(5) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). The Authority forwarded those opinions to the applicants, the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public. |
|
(6) |
As regards all applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. The Authority took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain them, nor the short-term exposure due to high consumption of the relevant products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake or the acute reference dose is exceeded. |
|
(7) |
As regards abamectin, the applicant also submitted validated analytical methods for crop matrices with high acid and water content. As regards tebuconazole, the applicant also submitted validated analytical methods for all crop matrices. The relevant footnotes should therefore be deleted from Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(8) |
In the context of the approval of the active substance Pasteuria nishizawae Pn1, an MRL application was included in the summary dossier in accordance with Article 8(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Such application was evaluated by the Member State concerned in accordance with Article 11(2) of that Regulation. The Authority assessed the application and delivered a conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance, where it recommended the inclusion of Pasteuria nishizawae Pn1 in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. (4). |
|
(9) |
Talc E553B is approved as basic substance by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/691 (5). The conditions of use of that substance are not expected to lead to the presence of residues in food or feed commodities that may pose a risk to the consumer. It is therefore appropriate to include that substance in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(10) |
Based on the reasoned opinions and the conclusions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(11) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(12) |
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
Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/1515
of 10 October 2018
amending Annexes III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for diphenylamine and oxadixyl in or on certain products
(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a), Article 18(1)(b) and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For diphenylamine and oxadixyl, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(2) |
The active substance diphenylamine was not approved by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 578/2012 (2). The active substance oxadixyl was not included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 (3). All existing authorisations for plant protection products containing these active substances have been revoked. It is therefore appropriate to delete the existing MRLs set out for these substances in Annex III in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 in conjunction with Article 14(1)(a) thereof. |
|
(3) |
For diphenylamine temporary MRLs were set by Regulation (EU) No 772/2013 (4) for apples and pears until 2 September 2015, to address an unavoidable cross-contamination that affected untreated apples and pears and which was due to the presence of residues of diphenylamine in storage facilities. Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/67 (5) extended the validity of those MRLs until 22 January 2018 to provide the necessary time for business operators to completely remove the residues of diphenylamine in storage facilities. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and food business operators submitted recent monitoring data showing that residues of diphenylamine no longer occur at levels above the relevant limit of determination (LOD). |
|
(4) |
For oxadixyl temporary MRLs were set by Regulation (EU) No 592/2012 (6) for parsley, celeries and the group of lettuces and salad plants until 31 December 2014, to address an unavoidable cross-contamination that affected untreated crops and which was due to the presence of residues of oxadixyl in soil. Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/46 (7) extended the validity of those MRLs until 19 January 2018 in view of the persistence of that active substance in soil. The Authority and food business operators submitted recent monitoring data showing that residues of oxadixyl no longer occur at levels above the relevant LOD. |
|
(5) |
In view of the non-approval of the active substance diphenylamine and the non-inclusion of the active substance oxadixyl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the MRLs for these substances should be set at the LOD in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For the active substances for which all MRLs should be reduced to the relevant LOD, default values should be listed in Annex V in accordance with Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(6) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account. |
|
(7) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(8) |
In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. |
|
(9) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |
|
(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:
Article 1
Annexes III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as it stood before being amended by this Regulation shall continue to apply to products which were produced in the Union or imported into the Union before 1 May 2019.
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.
It shall apply from 1 May 2019.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2018/1516
of 10 October 2018
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for penoxsulam, triflumizole and triflumuron in or on certain products
(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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
For penoxsulam, triflumizole and triflunuron, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(2) |
For penoxsulam, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) submitted a reasoned opinion on the review of the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (2). It recommended keeping the existing MRLs. Those MRLs should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing levels |
|
(3) |
For triflumizole, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (3). It proposed to change the residue definition and concluded that concerning the MRLs of tomato, aubergines/eggplant, cucumber, gherkin, courgettes some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. The Authority concluded that concerning the MRLs for cherries, table grapes, wine grapes, papaya and hops no or insufficient information was available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. The MRLs for these products should be set at the specific limit of determination. |

For triflumuron, the Authority submitted a reasoned opinion on the existing MRLs in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 (4). It concluded that concerning the MRLs for apricots and plums some information was not available and that further consideration by risk managers was required. As there is no risk for consumers, the MRLs for those products should be set in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 at the existing level or the level identified by the Authority. These MRLs will be reviewed; the review will take into account the information available within two years from the publication of this Regulation. |
|
(5) |
As regards products on which the use of the plant protection product concerned is not authorised, and for which no import tolerances or Codex maximum residue limits exist, MRLs should be set at the specific limit of determination or the default MRL should apply, as provided for in Article 18(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(6) |
The Commission consulted the European Union reference laboratories for residues of pesticides as regards the need to adapt certain limits of determination. As regards all the three substances, those laboratories concluded that for certain commodities technical development requires the setting of specific limits of determination. |
|
(7) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
|
(8) |
Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their comments have been taken into account. |
|
(9) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(10) |
In order to allow for the normal marketing, processing and consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have been produced before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that a high level of consumer protection is maintained. |
|
(11) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the modification of the MRLs. |
|
(12) |
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
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2018/581 of 16 April 2018 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain goods of a kind to be incorporated in or used for aircraft (1), and in particular Article 1(1) and (2) and Article 2(1) and (2) thereof,

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2018/1519
of 9 October 2018
amending Implementing Decision 2014/150/EU on the organisation of a temporary experiment providing for certain derogations for the marketing of populations of the plant species wheat, barley, oats and maize pursuant to Council Directive 66/402/EEC
(notified under document C(2018) 5470)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 13a thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Implementing Decision 2014/150/EU (2) sets out the organisation, until 31 December 2018, of a temporary experiment to which any Member State may participate, for the purpose of assessing whether the production, with a view to marketing, and the marketing, under certain conditions, of seed from populations in the meaning of Article 2 of that Decision and belonging to the species Avena spp., Hordeum spp., Triticum spp. and, Zea mays L, may constitute an improved alternative to the exclusion of the marketing of seed not complying with the requirements of Article 2(1)(E), (F) and (G) of Directive 66/402/EEC concerning varietal aspects of seeds of certain species, and with the requirements of Article 3(1) of that Directive concerning the placing on the market with official certification as ‘certified seed’, ‘certified seed, first generation’ or ‘certified seed, second generation’. |
|
(2) |
The assessment has not yet been finalised as on a number of aspects of the experiment more information needs to be collected during a longer period of time. It is therefore necessary to extend the duration of the temporary experiment. |
|
(3) |
Six Member States have so far participated in that temporary experiment. In view of the extension of the duration of that experiment, it is appropriate to allow new Member States to start participating, at the latest on 31 December 2019. |
|
(4) |
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
Implementing Decision 2014/150/EU is amended as follows:
|
(a) |
in Article 3(1) the terms ‘January 2017’ are replaced by the terms ‘31 December 2019’; |
|
(b) |
in Article 19 the terms ‘31 December 2018’ are replaced by the terms ‘28 February 2021’. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2018/1521
of 10 October 2018
amending Decision 2009/11/EC authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in Spain
(notified under document C(2018) 6507)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 20(p) and (t) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that, for the classification of pig carcasses, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means of grading methods authorised by the Commission and only statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcass may be authorised. The authorisation of grading methods should be subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. That tolerance is defined in Part A of Annex V to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1182 (2). |
|
(2) |
By Commission Decision 2009/11/EC (3), the use of eight methods for grading pig carcasses in Spain was authorised. |
|
(3) |
Spain has requested the Commission to authorise one new method for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which this method is based, the results of its dissection trial and the equation used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 11(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1182. |
|
(4) |
Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled. This grading method should therefore be authorised in Spain. |
|
(5) |
Decision 2009/11/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2009/11/EC is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
Article 1 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 1 The use of the following methods is authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*1) in Spain:
The manual method ZP with a ruler, referred to in point (g) of the first paragraph, shall only be authorised for abattoirs:
(*1) Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 671).’" |
|
(2) |
The Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision. |
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

(3) Commission Decision 2009/11/EC of 19 December 2008 authorising methods for grading pig carcases in Spain (OJ L 6, 10.1.2009, p. 79).
ANNEX
In the Annex to Decision 2009/11/EC the following Part 9 is added:
‘Part 9
gmSCAN
|
1. |
The rules provided for in this part shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘gmSCAN’. |
|
2. |
The gmSCAN uses magnetic induction to determine the dielectric properties of the carcasses without contact. The measurement system is formed by a number of transmitter coils that generate a variable and low intensity magnetic field. The receiver coils converts the signal from the perturbation of magnetic field caused by the carcass into a complex electric signal, related to the dielectric parameters of the muscle and fat tissue of the carcass. |
|
3. |
The lean meat content of a carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:
Ŷ = 55,14067 + 1 598,66166 × (Q1/CW) – 579,58575 × (Q2/CW) + 970,83879 × (Q3/CW) – 0,18993 × CW where:
This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 60 and 120 kilograms (warm weight).’ |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2018/1522
of 11 October 2018
laying down a common format for national air pollution control programmes under Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants
(notified under document C(2018) 6549)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (1), and in particular Article 6(10) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The national air pollution control programme is the principal governance tool under Directive (EU) 2016/2284 supporting Member States to plan their national policies and measures with a view to complying with the national emission reduction commitments laid down in that Directive for 2020 and 2030, thereby enhancing predictability for stakeholders while also supporting a shift of investments to clean and efficient technologies. It contributes to achieving the air quality objectives pursuant to Article 1(2) of that Directive, as well as to ensuring coherence with plans and programmes set in other relevant policy areas, including climate, energy, agriculture, industry and transport. |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Article 6(5) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 the public, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Directive 2003/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and the competent authorities with responsibilities in the field of air pollution, quality and management are to be consulted on the draft national air pollution control programmes and on any significant updates prior to their finalisation. |
|
(3) |
The national air pollution control programmes should also contribute to the successful implementation of air quality plans established under Article 23 of Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. (3) To that effect, Member States should take account of the need to reduce emissions, in particular of nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter, in zones and agglomerations affected by excessive air pollutant concentrations and/or in those zones and agglomerations that contribute significantly to air pollution in other zones and agglomerations, including in neighbouring countries. |
|
(4) |
As pointed out in the Commission's ‘Second Report on the State of the Energy Union’ (4), Member States should develop their national energy and climate plans, whenever possible, in parallel with their national air pollution control programmes to ensure synergies and reduce implementation costs, since these plans rely to a large extent on similar measures and actions. |
|
(5) |
To increase consistency with the reporting of policies and measures under Union climate and energy policies, the common format for the national air pollution control programme should be aligned where there are commonalities with reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Commission Implementing Regulation No (EU) 749/2014 (6). |
|
(6) |
In order to achieve the ammonia reduction commitments provided for in Directive (EU) 2016/2284 additional national policies and measures should be set out. Therefore national air pollution control programmes should also include proportionate measures applicable to the agricultural sector. |
|
(7) |
Laying down a common format for the national air pollution programme should facilitate the examination of the programmes that the Commission should carry out according to the third subparagraph of Article 10(1) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284, and should provide for better comparability of the programmes among Member States. |
|
(8) |
Member States may provide, in their national air pollution control programme, beyond the mandatory content, additional relevant information on their envisaged policies and measures aimed at addressing the most harmful pollutants with respect to sensitive human population groups. They may also, in accordance with Article 1(2) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 provide for measures aimed at further reducing emissions in order to achieve levels of air quality in line with the air quality guidelines published by the World Health Organization and the Union's biodiversity and ecosystem objectives. |
|
(9) |
Although, pursuant to Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284, emissions from international maritime traffic or aircraft emissions beyond the landing and take-off cycle are not taken into account for the purpose of complying with the emission reduction commitments, Member States may also outline in their national air pollution control programmes envisaged policies and measures aimed at reducing emissions of those sources. |
|
(10) |
Member States discussed and commented on a draft common format in the meetings of the Ambient Air Quality Expert Group on 4 April 2017, on 28 November 2017 and on 9 April 2018 (7). |
|
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Ambient Air Quality Committee established by Article 29 of Directive 2008/50/EC, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Subject matter
The common format for the national air pollution control programme as referred to in Article 6(10) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 is laid down in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
Format
Member States shall use the common format laid down in the Annex when reporting their national air pollution control programme to the Commission in accordance with Article 10(1) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284.
Article 3
Entry into force
This Decision 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) 2018/1524
of 11 October 2018
establishing a monitoring methodology and the arrangements for reporting by Member States in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies
(notified under document C(2018) 6560)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (1), and in particular Article 8(2) and Article 8(6) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Directive (EU) 2016/2102 establishes common accessibility requirements in order to ensure that websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies are made more accessible by making them perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. |
|
(2) |
In order to help public sector bodies meet the accessibility requirements, the monitoring should also raise awareness and encourage learning in Member States. For that reason, and in order to enhance transparency, the overall results of the monitoring activities should be made publicly available in an accessible format. |
|
(3) |
In order to extract meaningful and comparable data, a structured presentation of the results of the monitoring activities where different clusters of public services and levels of administration are identified is necessary. |
|
(4) |
In order to facilitate the sampling of the websites and mobile applications to be monitored, Member States should be allowed to take measures to maintain up-to-date lists of the websites and mobile applications that belong to the scope of Directive (EU) 2016/2102. |
|
(5) |
In order to enhance the social impact of monitoring, a risk-based approach may be followed when selecting the sample by considering, among others, the influence of specific websites and mobile applications, the notifications received in the feedback mechanism, previous monitoring results as well as input from the enforcement body and contribution from national stakeholders. |
|
(6) |
As the technology for automated monitoring of mobile applications is foreseen to gradually improve, Member States should consider applying the simplified monitoring method, established in this Decision for websites, also to mobile applications, taking into account the effectiveness and affordability of the available tools. |
|
(7) |
The standards and technical specifications referred to in Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 should form the basis of the methodology for monitoring. |
|
(8) |
In order to promote innovation, to avoid imposing barriers on the market and to ensure that the monitoring methodology is technology neutral, it should not define the specific tests to be applied for measuring the accessibility of websites and mobile applications. Instead, the monitoring methodology should be limited to establishing the requirements for the methods to verify compliance and to detect non-compliance with the accessibility requirements provided for in Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102. |
|
(9) |
If the provisions included in the legislation of the Member State exceed the requirements in the standards and technical specifications referred to in Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, in order to enhance comparability of the monitoring, Member States should monitor and report in a way that provides distinguishable results regarding the compliance with the requirements in the standards and technical specifications referred to in Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102. |
|
(10) |
Comparability of the monitoring results should be ensured through the use of the monitoring methodology and reporting laid down in this Decision. In order to foster the sharing of best practices and to promote transparency, Member States should make public how they monitor, as well as make publicly available a mapping, in the form of a correlation table, demonstrating how the monitoring and the tests applied cover the requirements referred to in the standards and technical specifications provided for in Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102. |
