COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2017/2466

of 18 December 2017

amending Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

In order to ensure the sufficient and uninterrupted supply of certain goods insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported into the Union at reduced or zero duty rates.

(2)

For those reasons, it is necessary to open, with effect from 1 January 2018, tariff quotas at zero duty rates for an appropriate volume as regards 12 new products. In the case of five additional products, the quota volumes should be increased, as an increase is in the interests of economic operators of the Union.

(3)	In the case of one additional product, the quota volume should be decreased, as the production capacity of the Union producers has been increased.

(4)	In the case of five products, the quota period and the quota volume should be adapted, as they had been opened for a period of 6 months only.

(5)	In the case of another product, its description should be amended.

(6)	In the case of 12 other products, the autonomous tariff quotas of the Union should be closed with effect from 1 January 2018, as it is not in the Union's interest to maintain those quotas as from that date.

(7)	Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

In order to avoid any interruption of the application of the quota scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the Communication from the Commission concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2), the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the quotas for the products concerned have to apply from 1 January 2018. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1388/2013 is amended as follows:

(1)	the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2872, 09.2874, 09.2878, 09.2880, 09.2886, 09.2876, 09.2888, 09.2866, 09.2906, 09.2909, 09.2910 and 09.2932 set out in Annex I to this Regulation are inserted into the table according to the order of the CN codes indicated in the second column;

(2)	in the table, the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2828, 09.2929, 09.2704, 09.2842, 09.2844, 09.2671, 09.2846, 09.2723, 09.2848, 09.2870, 09.2662, 09.2850 and 09.2868 are replaced by the corresponding rows set out in Annex II to this Regulation;

(3)	in the table, the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2703, 09.2691, 09.2692, 09.2680, 09.2977, 09.2693, 09.2712, 09.2714, 09.2666, 09.2687, 09.2689 and 09.2669 are deleted;

(4)	endnote (*) containing the text ‘A newly introduced measure or a measure with amended conditions.’ is deleted.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2017/2467

of 21 December 2017

amending Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)	The Union production of 67 products that are not listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 (1) is not sufficient to cover the needs of the Union industry. It is therefore in the interest of the Union to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff (‘CCT’) duties on those products.

(2)

It is necessary to modify the conditions for the suspension of autonomous CCT duties for 49 products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in order to take into account technical product developments and economic trends on the market. Certain product classifications have been amended in order to allow industry to fully benefit from the suspensions in force. Moreover, the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be updated in order to align or clarify texts in some cases. The modified conditions relate to changes in the product description, classification, duty rates or end-use requirements.

(3)	The end dates for the mandatory review provided for in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be revised for 188 suspensions.

(4)	It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous CCT duties for 92 products listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. Suspensions for those products should therefore be deleted from that Annex.

(5)	In the interests of clarity, the entries for the suspensions that are modified or newly introduced by this Regulation should be marked with an asterisk, whereas the asterisk should be removed from the entries for the suspensions that are not modified by this Regulation.

(6)	Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

In order to avoid any interruption of the application of the autonomous suspension scheme and to comply with the guidelines set out in the Communication from the Commission concerning autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas (2), the changes provided for in this Regulation regarding the suspensions for the products concerned have to apply from 1 January 2018. This Regulation should therefore enter into force as a matter of urgency,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 is amended as follows:

(1)	in the table, the rows for the products for which the CN and TARIC codes are set out in Annex I to this Regulation are deleted;

(2)	all asterisks in the table and endnote (*), containing the text ‘A newly introduced measure or a measure with amended conditions.’, are deleted;

(3)	the rows for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation are inserted into the table according to the order of the CN codes indicated in the first column of that table.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2018.

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Whereas:

(1)	Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 lays down rules for the placing on the market and use of novel foods in the Union.

(2)	Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, the Commission has to adopt implementing acts laying down administrative and scientific data requirements for applications referred to in Article 10(1) of that Regulation.

(3)	Without prejudice to Articles 5 and 10 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, the Commission should verify whether the application falls within the scope of that Regulation and its validity.

(4)

Applications referred to in Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 should contain sufficient information and scientific documentation to allow the Commission to verify their validity and enable the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) to conduct comprehensive risk assessments of the novel foods.

(5)	The applications should include detailed descriptions of the safety evaluation strategy, the raw data, information on the relevance of the test material used in the toxicological studies, and detection and characterisation test methods for the engineered nanomaterials.

(6)

Experience has shown that in certain cases a novel food intended for a particular group of the population may also reasonably be expected to be consumed by other groups of the population and that risk management measures may be necessary to mitigate potential health risks to those other population groups. Therefore, sufficient information should be provided in the application to enable the risks to those population groups to be assessed.

(7)

Where the applicant submits an application to add, remove or change the conditions of use, the specifications, additional specific labelling requirements or post-market monitoring requirements of an authorised novel food, it may not be necessary for the applicant to provide all the data required for the risk assessment, where the applicant provides verifiable justification.

(8)

In order to ensure that toxicological tests are performed to a certain standard, they should be carried out in accordance with the rules set out in Directive 2004/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Where those tests are carried out outside the territory of the Union, they should follow the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (3).

(9)	The opinion of the Authority should provide sufficient information to ascertain whether the proposed use of the novel food is safe for consumers.

(10)	In order to benefit from data protection, as laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, requests for protection of proprietary data should be justified and all data concerned should be kept in a separate part of the application.

(11)	Pursuant to Article 35 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, it is necessary to lay down transitional measures for the entry into force of that Regulation.

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

Description/Definition:

The Ice Structuring Protein (ISP) preparation is a light-brown liquid produced by submerged fermentation of a genetically-modified strain of food-grade baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in which a synthetic gene for the ISP has been inserted into the yeast's genome. The protein is expressed and secreted into the growth medium where it is separated from the yeast cells by micro-filtration and concentrated by ultra-filtration. As a result, the yeast cells are not transferred into the ISP preparation as such or under an altered form. The ISP preparation consists of native ISP, glycosylated ISP and proteins and peptides from the yeast and sugars as well as acids and salts commonly found in food. The concentrate is stabilised with 10 mM citric acid buffer.

Yeast beta-glucans

Description/Definition:

Beta-glucans are complex, high molecular mass (100–200 kDa) polysaccharides, found in the cell wall of many yeasts and cereals.

The chemical name for ‘yeast beta-glucans’ is (1-3),(1-6)-β-D-glucans.

Beta-glucans consist of a backbone of β-1-3-linked glucose residues that are branched by β-1-6-linkages, to which chitin and mannoproteins are linked by β-1-4-bonds.

Beta-glucans are isolated from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The tertiary structure of the glucan cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae consists of chains of β-1,3-linked glucose residues, branched by β-1,6-linkages, forming a backbone to which are linked chitin via β-1,4- bonds, β-1,6-glucans and some mannoproteins.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2330

of 14 December 2017

concerning the authorisation of Iron(II) carbonate, Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate, Iron(II) sulphate monohydrate, Iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate, Iron(II) fumarate, Iron(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate, Iron(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates and Iron(II) chelate of glycine hydrate as feed additives for all animal species and of Iron dextran as feed additive for piglets and amending Regulations (EC) No 1334/2003 and (EC) No 479/2006

(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 iron compounds Ferric chloride hexahydrate, Ferric oxide, Ferrous carbonate, Ferrous chelate of amino acids hydrate, Ferrous chelate of glycine hydrate, Ferrous fumarate, Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate and Ferrous sulphate monohydrate were authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003 (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 479/2006 (4) in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. Those substances 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 Ferric chloride hexahydrate, Ferric oxide, Ferrous carbonate, Ferrous chelate of amino acids hydrate, Ferrous chelate of glycine hydrate, Ferrous fumarate, Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate and Ferrous sulphate monohydrate as feed additives for all animal species. Additionally, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for Iron dextran as feed additive for piglets. 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)

Due to scientific considerations, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) recommended in its opinions of 19 June 2013 (5), 30 January 2014 (6), 5 March 2014 (7), 28 April 2014 (8) and 27 January 2016 (9) to rename Ferric as Iron(III) and Ferrous as Iron(II), in order to avoid potential misunderstandings. The Authority also recommended splitting Iron(II) chelate of amino acids into the following two groups, in view of its chemical characteristics: Iron(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate and Iron(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates.

(5)

The Authority concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, Iron(II) carbonate, Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate, Iron(II) sulphate monohydrate, Iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate, Iron(II) fumarate, Iron(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate, Iron(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates and Iron(II) chelate of glycine hydrate do not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety and the environment. Considering the capacities to be respiratory, eye and skin irritants due to the presence of Nickel in each iron (II) and iron (III) compound, appropriate protective measures should be taken with respect to the handling of the additives concerned and premixtures containing them, in order to avoid that safety concerns for the users would arise.

(6)

In its opinions of 24 January 2017 (10), the Authority concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, Iron dextran does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety and the environment, and that no safety concerns for users would arise provided that appropriate protective measures are taken.

(7)

The Authority further concluded that Iron(II) carbonate, Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate, Iron(II) sulphate monohydrate, Iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate, Iron(II) fumarate, Iron(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate, Iron(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates, Iron(II) chelate of glycine hydrate and Iron dextran are effective sources of iron; however, the bioavailability of Iron(II) carbonate varies significantly and is considered to be lower than that for Iron(II) sulphate. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the reports on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(8)

The assessment of Iron(II) carbonate, Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate, Iron(II) sulphate monohydrate, Iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate, Iron(II) fumarate, Iron(II) chelate of amino acids hydrate, Iron(II) chelate of protein hydrolysates and Iron(II) chelate of glycine hydrate as feed additives for all animal species and of Iron dextran for piglets shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied, except for water for drinking. Accordingly, the use of these substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation and their use via water for drinking should be prohibited.

(9)

As a result of the granting new authorisations for ‘Ferric chloride hexahydrate’, ‘Ferrous carbonate’, ‘Ferrous chelate of amino acids hydrate’, ‘Ferrous fumarate’, ‘Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate’, ‘Ferrous sulphate monohydrate’ and ‘Ferrous chelate of glycine, hydrate’ by this Regulation and of the denial of the authorisation for ‘Ferric oxide’, the entries of these substances in Regulations (EC) No 479/2006 and (EC) No 1334/2003 should be deleted.

(10)

As the Authority could not conclude in its opinions of 24 May 2016 (11) on the safety of ferric oxide for the target species, the additive and feed containing it should be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible. For practical reasons, however, a limited transitional period should be allowed for the withdrawal from the market of the products concerned in order to enable operators to comply properly with the withdrawal obligation.

(11)

Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for Ferric chloride hexahydrate, Ferrous carbonate, Ferrous chelate of amino acids hydrate, Ferrous chelate of glycine hydrate, Ferrous fumarate, Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate and Ferrous sulphate monohydrate as authorised by Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003 and Regulation (EC) No 479/2006, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

(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:
