COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 755/2012
of 16 August 2012
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 as regards the eligibility of specific costs of environmental actions under operational programmes of producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 103h in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishes a common organisation of agricultural markets which includes the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. Pursuant to Article 103c(3) of that Regulation, Member States are required to provide that operational programmes in the fruit and vegetables sector include two or more environmental actions or that at least 10 % of the expenditure under the operational programmes covers environmental actions. That Regulation also provides that support for environmental actions has to cover additional costs and income foregone resulting from the action. |
|
(2) |
In accordance with Article 60(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), Annex IX to that Implementing Regulation sets out the list of actions or expenditure not eligible for support under operational programmes. However, it indicates that specific costs for environmental measures, including costs generated by environmental management of packaging are, as an exception, eligible. |
|
(3) |
Experience in applying environmental actions related to management of packaging shows that there are uncertainties about the net environmental benefits resulting from those actions and/or the fact that they effectively result in additional costs and income foregone being borne by the producer organisations and, thus, about the justification for the public support provided. Moreover, both the management and the control of those actions have proved to be complex, in particular, in respect of the calculation of the support that can be granted. Based on that experience and in order to encourage the implementation of more cost-effective environmental actions and to reduce the costs related to the management of the Union regime, it is appropriate to abandon support to environmental actions related to management of packaging. |
|
(4) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
Article 60(4) is amended as follows:
|
|
(2) |
in the first paragraph of point 1 of Annex IX, the fourth indent is replaced by the following:
|
Article 2
Transitional provisions
1. Environmental actions related to management of packaging that are included in an operational programme approved before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may remain eligible for support until the end of the operational programme, provided that they comply with the rules applicable prior to the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
2. Where appropriate, Member States shall amend their national framework referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 103f(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in order to adapt it to the changes provided for in Article 1 of this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 56(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, the amendments made to the national framework pursuant to the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall not be subject to the procedure set out in the second subparagraph of Article 103f(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
Article 3
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 756/2012
of 20 August 2012
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 430/2010 of 20 May 2010 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) removed the obligation to provide an exit summary declaration for goods which are supplied for incorporation as parts of or accessories in vessels and aircraft, motor fuels, lubricants and gas necessary for the operation of vessels or aircraft, foodstuffs, and other items to be consumed or sold on board. Annex 30a to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be adapted accordingly. |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Annex 30a to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, information about the consignee is mandatory in an exit summary declaration. However, where the goods are carried under a negotiable bill of lading that is ‘to order blank endorsed’, the consignee is unknown. In that case a specific code should be used to show that the consignee particulars are unknown. |
|
(3) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade (4) has been replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 113/2010 of 9 February 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries, as regards trade coverage, definition of the data, compilation of statistics on trade by business characteristics and by invoicing currency, and specific goods or movements (5). It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. |
|
(4) |
Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (6) lays down conditions for exemption from payment of the VAT due upon importation. One of the conditions is that at the time of importation, the importer must have provided to the competent authorities of the Member State of importation certain information. It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes 37 and 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to provide a harmonised solution for indicating that information in the customs declaration. The obligation to provide the information required by Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC should be stated in the description of Box 44 in Annex 37. |
|
(5) |
Since a Community transit operation may take place in Andorra and San Marino, a reference to those countries should be added to the reference to the EFTA countries in Annex 37 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, in order to reflect the fact that the guarantee or guarantee waiver may be not valid in one or more EFTA countries, nor in Andorra or in San Marino. |
|
(6) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries (7) has been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on Community statistics relating to external trade with non-member countries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 (8). The reference to Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be updated. |
|
(7) |
In 2010 the eighth version of the Incoterms rules (‘Incoterms 2010’) has been established. The Incoterms codes as amended by the Incoterms 2010 should therefore be set out in Annex 38 in order to update the delivery terms. |
|
(8) |
Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 contains a list of packaging codes based upon the list of Coded representations of packaging type names used in international trade set out in Annexes V and VI to Recommendation No 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Due to the revision of the code list following a technological development, it is appropriate to replace the list in Annex 38 by the latest version resulting from Revision 8.1 of Recommendation No 21. |
|
(9) |
Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC (9) provides that excise goods may be moved under a duty suspension arrangement within the customs territory of the Community, including where the goods are moved via a third country or a third territory from the place of importation to any of the destinations referred to in Article 17(1)(a) of that Directive. The respective codes in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be adapted to reflect the cases where no excise duties are paid upon importation. |
|
(10) |
Council Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 of 28 March 1983 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (10) has been replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 of 16 November 2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (11). Some references and descriptions of codes in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be adapted. |
|
(11) |
Since Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down implementing rules of Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit and vegetable sector (12) has been replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (13), it is necessary to update the reference to Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 in Annex 38 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. |
|
(12) |
It is necessary to adapt the list of goods involving a higher risk of fraud set out in Annex 44c to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to the Combined Nomenclature 2012 laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (14). |
|
(13) |
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(14) |
Since Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 applies from 1 January 2012, the amendments to Annex 44c to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should apply from the same date. |
|
(15) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
Annex 30a is amended as set out in Annex I to this Regulation; |
|
(2) |
Annex 37 is amended as set out in Annex II to this Regulation; |
|
(3) |
Annex 38 is amended as set out in Annex III to this Regulation; |
|
(4) |
Annex 44c is amended as set out in Annex IV to this Regulation. |

It shall apply from 1 January 2013, except Annex IV.
Annex IV shall apply from 1 January 2012.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 757/2012
of 20 August 2012
suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Review Group,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2). |
|
(2) |
A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 of 17 August 2011 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3). |
|
(3) |
On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not suspended. The introduction of the following species should therefore be suspended:
|
|
(4) |
The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the suspension of the introduction into the Union of the following species should no longer be required:
|
|
(5) |
The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to introduction into the Union pursuant to this Regulation have all been consulted. |
|
(6) |
The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended should therefore be amended and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject to the provisions of Article 71 of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006, the introduction into the Union of specimens of the species of wild fauna and flora listed in the Annex to this Regulation is suspended.
Article 2
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 is repealed.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references 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 DECISION
of 16 August 2012
establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for printed paper
(notified under document C(2012) 5364)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/481/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the EU Ecolabel (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Under Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, the EU Ecolabel may be awarded to those products with a reduced environmental impact during their entire life cycle. |
|
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 provides that specific EU Ecolabel criteria are to be established according to product groups. |
|
(3) |
Since the chemicals used in the printed paper products may hinder recyclability of printed paper products, and may be hazardous for the environment and for human health, it is appropriate to establish EU Ecolabel criteria for the product group ‘printed paper’. |
|
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The product group ‘printed paper’ shall comprise any printed paper product that consist of at least 90 % by weight of paper, paperboard or paper-based substrates, except for books, catalogues, pads, booklets or forms that shall consist of at least 80 % by weight of paper or paperboard or paper-based substrates. Inserts, covers and any printed paper part of the final printed paper shall be considered to form part of the printed paper product.
2. Fixed inserts to the printed paper product (not intended to be removed) shall fulfil the requirements of the Annex to this Decision. Inserts that are not fixed to the printed paper (such as flyers, removable stickers) but sold or provided with it, shall fulfil the requirements of the Annex to this Decision only if the EU Ecolabel is intended to be placed on them.
3. The product group ‘printed paper’ shall not include the following:
|
(a) |
printed tissue papers; |
|
(b) |
printed paper products used for packaging and wrapping; |
|
(c) |
folders, envelopes, ring binders. |
Article 2
For the purpose of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:
|
(1) |
‘Books’ means yarn-bound and/or glue-bound printed paper products with hard or soft covers, such as school books, fiction or non-fiction books, notebooks, exercise books, spiral-bound notebook, reports, calendars with covers, handbooks and paperbacks. ‘Books’ do not include journals, brochures, magazines, catalogues published on a regular basis and annual reports. |
|
(2) |
‘Consumables’ means chemical products used during the printing, coating and finishing processes and capable of being consumed, destroyed, dissipated, wasted, or spent. Consumables include products such as printing inks and dyes, toners, overprinting varnishes, varnishes, adhesives, washing agents and damping solutions. |
|
(3) |
‘Folder’ means a folding case or cover for loose papers. Folders include products such as indices dividers, document wallets, square cut folders, suspension files, cardboard boxes and 3-flap folders. |
|
(4) |
‘Halogenated organic solvent’ means an organic solvent which contains at least one atom of bromine, chlorine, fluorine or iodine per molecule. |
|
(5) |
An ‘insert’ means an extra leaf or section, printed independently from the printed paper product which is either placed within the pages of a printed paper product and may be removed (loose insert) or bound into the pages of the printed paper product and thus form an integral part thereof (fixed insert). Inserts include multipage advertisements, booklets, brochures, reply cards, or other promotional materials. |
|
(6) |
‘Newspapers’ means a publication issued daily or weekly containing news and printed on newsprint paper grade that is made from pulp and/or recovered paper, the weight of which ranges between 40 and 65 g/m2. |
|
(7) |
‘Non-paper components’ means all the parts of a printed paper product that do not consist of paper, paperboard or paper based substrates. |
|

Criteria 1, 3, 8, 9 and 10 apply to the final printed paper product.
Criterion 2 applies both to the non-paper components of the printed paper product and to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components.
Criteria 4, 5, 6 and 7 apply to the printing, coating and finishing processes of the paper components only.
These criteria apply to all such processes undertaken at the site or sites where the printed paper product is manufactured. If there are printing, coatings and finishing processes exclusively used for ecolabelled products, criteria 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall apply only to those processes.
The ecological criteria do not cover the transport of raw materials, consumables and final products.
Assessment and verification requirements
The specific assessment and verification requirements are indicated within each criterion.
All printing on the printed paper product shall fulfil the criteria. Parts of the product that are printed by a sub-contractor shall therefore also fulfil the printing requirements. The application shall include a list of all the printing houses and subcontractors involved in the production of the printed paper, and their geographic locations.
The applicant shall provide a list of chemical products used in the printing house for the production of the printed paper products. This requirement applies to all consumables used during the printing, coating and finishing processes. The list provided by the applicant shall include the amount, function and supplier of any chemical product used, together with the Safety Data Sheet, designed in accordance with Commission Directive 2001/58/EC (1).
Where the applicant is required to provide declarations, documentation, analyses, test reports, or other evidence to show compliance with the criteria, it is understood that those may originate from the applicant and/or his supplier(s) and/or their supplier(s), as appropriate.
Where appropriate, test methods other than those indicated for each criterion may be used if their equivalence is accepted by the competent body assessing the application.
Where possible, the testing should be performed by laboratories that meet the general requirements of EN ISO 17025 or equivalent.
Where appropriate, competent bodies may require supporting documentation and may carry out independent verifications.
