COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/916
of 12 March 2021
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) as regards the predetermined list of job groups used in the application form
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 September 2018 establishing a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and amending Regulations (EU) No 1077/2011, (EU) No 515/2014, (EU) 2016/399, (EU) 2016/1624 and (EU) 2017/2226 (1), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 establishes the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (‘ETIAS’) for third-country nationals exempt from the requirement to be in the possession of a visa for the purposes of entering and staying in the territory of the Member States. |
(2) |
As part of the ETIAS application form to be completed by each applicant, applicants will be required to provide personal data related to their current occupation. To do so, applicants should choose their current occupation based on a predetermined list of job groups. |
(3) |
A predetermined list of job groups should thus be laid down. The list should use the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) adopted by the International Labour Organisation. In order to ensure that data on applicants’ occupations is sufficiently specific, applicants should be required to select job groups to at least level 2 (sub-major group) of the Standard, but also to levels 3 (minor group) or 4 (unit group), where available. |
(4) |
In order to ensure that the form is as user-friendly as possible, the electronic form should ensure only relevant options are displayed and actively assist the applicant in finding his or her relevant job group by filtering options on the basis of past selections made. |
(5) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark did not take part in the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 and is not bound by it or subject to its application. However, given that Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark notified on 21 December 2018, in accordance with Article 4 of that Protocol, its decision to implement Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 in its national law. |
(6) |
This Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC (2); Ireland is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application. |
(7) |
As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the [latters’] association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (3), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (4). |
(8) |
As regards Switzerland, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A, of Decision 1999/437/EC, read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (6). |
(9) |
As regards Liechtenstein, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A, of Decision 1999/437/EC, read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (8). |
(10) |
As regards Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania and Croatia, this Regulation constitutes an act building upon, or otherwise relating to, the Schengen acquis within, respectively, the meaning of Article 3(1) of the 2003 Act of Accession, Article 4(1) of the 2005 Act of Accession and Article 4(1) of the 2011 Act of Accession. |
(11) |
The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) and delivered an opinion on 4 September 2020, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Current occupation in the application form
1. Pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240, for completion of the current occupation field in the application form, the applicant shall choose one of the following options:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/917
of 7 June 2021
approving the low-risk active substances Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009, of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1) and in particular Article 13(2) in conjunction with Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Abiopep Plant Health S.L. submitted to Spain on 27 November 2017 an application for the approval of the active substances Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, Spain, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority‘) on 15 February 2018 of the admissibility of the application. |
(3) |
On 22 July 2019, the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the Authority, assessing whether these active substances can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. |
(4) |
The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. |
(5) |
On 22 October 2019, the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion (2) on whether the active substances Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Authority made its conclusion available to the public. |
(6) |
On 25 January 2021, the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed a review report and a draft Regulation regarding Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2. |
(7) |
The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report. |
(8) |
It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substances, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2. |
(9) |
The Commission further considers that Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 are low-risk active substances pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 are not substances of concern and they fulfil the conditions set out in point 5.2 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Taking into account the assessment by the rapporteur Member State and the Authority, as regards the intended uses in permanent greenhouses (soil-bound and hydroponics), Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 are microorganisms which are expected to have a low risk for humans, animals and the environment. Pepino mosaic virus infection and its replication are known to be very specific to some plants (Solanaceae family) and have not been reported to occur in other organisms. No critical areas of concern were identified, and the two strains are unlikely to have a potential of toxicity, infectivity and pathogenicity. For these reasons, only general mitigation measures should be taken for operators and workers. |
(10) |
It is therefore appropriate to approve Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 as low-risk substances. |
(11) |
In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to include certain conditions. |
(12) |
In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should be amended accordingly. |
(13) |
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
Approval of the active substances
The active substances Pepino Mosaic Virus, EU strain, mild isolate Abp1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, CH2 strain, mild isolate Abp2 are approved subject to the conditions laid down in Annex I.
Article 2
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
Entry into force
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.

COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2021/918
of 3 June 2021
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors as regards the amendment of Decision No 3/2016 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors on the Centre for the Development of Enterprise
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 209(2), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 15(4) of the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (2) (the ‘ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’) states that the ACP-EU Council of Ministers may delegate powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors. |
(2) |
At its 39th session held on 19 and 20 June 2014 in Nairobi, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers agreed, in a Joint Declaration, to proceed with the orderly closing of the Centre for the Development of Enterprise (CDE). For that purpose, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers decided to grant a delegation of powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to take the matter forward with a view to adopting the necessary decisions. |
(3) |
On 12 July 2016, the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors adopted Decision No 3/2016 (3) amending Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement to introduce the necessary changes, establish the new legal framework of the CDE as from 1 January 2017, and maintain the legal personality of the CDE, solely for the purposes of its liquidation, as from that date. |
(4) |
Pursuant to Article 2(1) of Decision No 3/2016, a Curator is to ensure the implementation of the passive phase, in which the CDE is to solely exist for the purposes of its liquidation, as from 1 January 2017 for a period of four years or until the CDE has settled all its liabilities and realised all its assets, whichever happens earlier. |
(5) |
By 31 December 2020, the CDE had not settled all its liabilities and realised all its assets. It is therefore necessary to amend Decision No 3/2016 to ensure the proper implementation of the passive phase under the Curator’s management and to end that phase. In order to ensure continuity of the passive phase, the amendment of Decision No 3/2016 should apply as of 1 January 2021. |
(6) |
The ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors is to adopt the amendment to Decision No 3/2016 at one of its meetings, or by written procedure. |
(7) |
It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the ACP- EU Committee of Ambassadors, as the envisaged act will be binding on the Union, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be adopted on the Union’s behalf within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors regarding the CDE is:
— |
to replace Article 2(1) of Decision No 3/2016 of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors by the following: ‘1. The European Commission shall contract a Curator to ensure the implementation of the passive phase as from 1 January 2017 until the CDE has settled all its liabilities and realised all its assets.’; |
— |
that the decision of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors amending Decision No 3/2016 of that Committee applies as of 1 January 2021. |
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
After its adoption, the Decision of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
