COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 August 2014
granting the Hellenic Republic a derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2014) 5902)
(2014/536/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 2003/54/EC (1), and in particular Article 44(1) and Article 48 thereof,
Having regard to the applications by the Hellenic Republic of 17 January 2012 and of 5 December 2003,
After informing the Member States of this application,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1)
On 17 January 2012, the Greek Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change (‘YPEKA’) submitted an application (the ‘application’) to the Commission, pursuant to Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC for a derogation from Chapters III and VIII of Directive 2009/72/EC for certain Greek islands that are not interconnected to the electricity system of mainland Greece (the non-interconnected islands or ‘NIIs’).
(2)
On 12 September 2012, the Commission requested the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy (‘RAE’) to comment on the application. RAE responded to this request on 16 November 2012 (the ‘RAE opinion’).
(3)
RAE made further submissions to substantiate the application on 17 December 2013, 23 December 2013, 4 February 2014, 28 February 2014 and 17 March 2014.
(4)
On 14 March 2014 (with an addendum sent on 20 March 2014), the Commission informed the Member States of the application in accordance with Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC, with a request to submit observations, if necessary, by 25 March 2014. No observations were submitted.
(5)
With its application YPEKA renewed the request submitted by the Ministry of Development on 5 December 2003 in accordance with Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (the ‘initial application’) for a derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2003/54/EC. Although preliminary steps were taken to investigate the initial application, the derogation pursuant to Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC was neither granted nor refused.
2. THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY YPEKA
2.1. SCOPE OF THE REQUESTED DEROGATION
(6)
The application requests derogation from Chapters III and VIII of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(7)
Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC refers to the authorisation procedure and tendering for new capacity. Chapter VIII refers to third party access, market opening and direct lines.
2.2. CURRENT ORGANISATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THE NIIs
(8)
The Greek energy markets are primarily governed by Greek Law 4001/2011 which transposes Directive 2009/72/EC. Law 4001/2011 has entered into force on 22 August 2011.
(9)
DEDDIE SA (‘DEDDIE’) is the Greek distribution system operator, which is 100 % owned by, but legally and functionally unbundled from, the Public Power Corporation (‘PPC’), the incumbent Greek electricity producer and supplier. The network assets operated by DEDDIE are owned by PPC.
(10)
Pursuant to Article 127 of Law 4001/2011, DEDDIE is responsible for developing, operating and maintaining the Greek electricity distribution system, which includes the electricity distribution system on the NIIs.
(11)
In addition, DEDDIE is responsible for operating the electricity systems on the NIIs. These tasks include: (i) the preparation of a generation development plan for micro isolated systems, including a programme to interconnect them with other NIIs (ii) ensuring that the necessary sites are available to install new production capacity, to extend existing capacity or delivery components and to expand the Greek electricity distribution system to non-interconnected islands and micro isolated systems (iii) entering into contracts with licence holders governing deliveries of electricity to and from the system, the provision of ancillary services to the distribution systems of NIIs and the remuneration of the producers of electricity, of charges to customers and suppliers for the electricity delivered to them and of other credits and debits on the special accounts, such as those for remunerating public service obligations.
(12)
Article 137(1) of Law 4001/2011 stipulates that all electricity consumers shall be classified as eligible customers, with the exception of consumers established in micro isolated networks, subject to Article 139 of the same law.
(13)
Pursuant to Article 133(3) of Law 4001/2011:
‘With the exception of cases in which electricity is produced using renewable energy sources or by high-efficiency cogeneration or hybrid plants and in the case of auto producers, if a derogation has been granted in accordance with the provisions of Article 139, a generation licence shall only be granted to PPC SA in accordance with certain licensing regulations. PPC SA shall be responsible for the uninterrupted supply to micro isolated systems for which it obtains a licence and for safeguarding the long-term financial operation of the electricity systems on those islands.’
(14)
Pursuant to Article 134 Law 4001/2011:
‘Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 139 of the present law, supply licences for micro isolated networks shall be granted solely to PPC SA in accordance with the requirements of the Licensing Regulations. PPC SA must supply non-eligible customers with electricity on request.’
(15)
According to Article 139 of Law 4001/2011 derogations from the provisions of Law 4001/2011 may be granted in accordance with the provisions of Article 44 of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(16)
The Ministerial Decision no PD5/EL/B/F IB/12924 adopted pursuant to Article 28 of Greek Law 3426/2005, establishes that the supply of electricity to consumers in NIIs by any electricity producer constitutes a public service obligation (‘the NII PSO’) in the general economic interest. On the grounds of social cohesion, electricity suppliers in the NII must supply electricity at a price equal, per category of consumer, to those on the Greek interconnected system.
(17)
Article 52 of Greek Law 4001/2011 stipulates that customers on non-interconnected islands are entitled to special services both in terms of price and in terms of quality and security of supply as well as transparency of contractual terms and conditions. Providers of the NII PSO receive, in return for discharging the PSO, a financial compensation calculated on the basis of a methodology established by RAE Decision 24/2014/EC (3). This methodology is based on the difference between the full production costs on the non-interconnected islands (variable and fixed) and the full market price suppliers are facing in the interconnected system (system marginal costs plus all other mechanisms in the Greek interconnected system). The NII PSO compensation is calculated on a monthly basis and per autonomous island system, and is subject to control by RAE. The NII PSO compensation is raised through a levy on all customers, including those on the NIIs (4). The NII PSO mechanism is administered by LAGIE, the Greek state-owned market operator. Ministerial Decision D5-EL/B/F1/oik.27547 of December 2011 (5), based on the provisions of Article 55(3) of Law 4001/2011, established that the NII PSO is to be offered by all suppliers, therefore all suppliers are eligible for NII PSO compensation.
(18)
Secondary legislation regulates more in detail the supply and production of electricity on the NII. In particular, by its decision No 39/2014 of 28 January 2014, RAE adopted the Code of Management of Electric Power Systems on the Non-Interconnected Islands (the ‘NII Code’) which regulates many issues with respect to the operation of the isolated systems on the NIIs, including market opening, market settlement and electricity production. The NII Code entered into force on the day of its publication, i.e. 17 February 2014.
2.3. SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEMS FOR THE OPERATION OF ISOLATED SYSTEMS
(19)
The application highlights the following problems for the operation of the Greek isolated electricity systems:
(a)
the large variation in electricity demand in micro isolated systems, accentuated by:(i) the tourism aspect of the economic development of the islands; and (ii) the increased penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (‘RES’).
Those factors negatively affect both the load factor of thermal or conventional generation capacity and the possibility to recover costs from investments in such generation capacity;
(b)
the large variation in weather conditions on the islands which affects demand and causes malfunctions of the generation systems, and as a result requires extensive reserves.
(20)
The application highlights the following problems for the development of conventional generation on the Greek small isolated electricity systems:
(a)
the difficulties or even impossibility to find suitable sites for new conventional generating stations in the micro isolated systems, primarily due to public resistance;
(b)
the small size of the NIIs that gives rise to large reversals in the long-term development planning of thermal production due to unforeseeable investments by electricity consumers (such as large tourist complexes or craft facilities) which requires expediency and flexibility in the response to electricity demand;
(c)
electricity demand in the NII isolated systems is expected to increase by 2 % per year until 2017. Although the authorisations have been granted to PPC for the installation of the additional required capacity and its installation has already been scheduled (which is expected to cover the demand of all NIIs, along with the necessary reserve margins, by 2017), it has not always been possible to comply with the time schedule;
(d)
the small load size, large variations in load and increased RES penetration in most micro isolated systems limits the available technological solutions for conventional generation, restricting the choice to small generating installations fuelled with heavy oil of low content in sulphur or with light oil;
(e)
the procedures for the procurement of new power generation are time consuming. Two and a half to three years pass from the time authorisation is granted until the power generators enter into service;
(f)
the development of plans to construct interconnectors between the Greek interconnected system and the micro isolated systems on the NIIs undermines the interest for investing in conventional generation capacity on the NIIs. Interconnection projects with the Cyclades and Crete are scheduled.
(21)
As a result, resort has to be taken on a regular basis to emergency solutions, such as the rental of mobile diesel-fuelled power generators or gas turbines. The need for case-by-case authorisation for emergency generation needs is undesirable as it gives rise to the uneconomical renting of equipment instead of purchasing. The application provides several examples where unforeseen events gave rise to the longer term use of mobile power generators.
(22)
The application highlights the following problems for the market opening on the isolated electricity systems on the NIIs:
(a)
in order to allow for market opening, specific infrastructure will need to be developed and installed in the isolated systems on the NIIs. This infrastructure entails the installation of control centres to manage: (i) the daily scheduling of generation; and (ii) the market settlement in each isolated system by repartitioning the production cost in each isolated system to the suppliers active therein.
The necessary infrastructure is costly and the cost is borne by consumers;
(b)
due to the NII PSO, electricity retail prices are the same for each consumer category throughout the Greek territory. The higher production cost in the NIIs, as compared to the production cost in the interconnected system, must therefore be recovered from suppliers active in the NIIs by repartitioning the respective part of the PSO compensation as a function of the electricity sales to their customers.
It is claimed that the large variation in the values of the average annual variable production cost per NII would render the settlement mechanism for the market complicated.
(23)
Consequently, YPEKA takes the view that developing the necessary infrastructure for the operation and supervision of the electricity market in conjunction with market opening on the isolated systems on the NIIs entails costs that outweigh the benefits that may accrue to consumers from market opening.
(24)
The application does not contain a date by which the requested derogation would expire.
3. THE RAE OPINION
3.1. SCOPE OF THE DEROGATION
3.1.1. Derogation from Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC
(25)
RAE takes the view that the derogation from Chapter III, in accordance with Article 44(1), should not concern the installation of new power capacity that can be developed in an isolated system, but only the refurbishing, upgrading or expanding of the existing production capacity. Existing generation capacity consists of the power plants that already operate or are under construction on the NIIs. Any new power plant that will be installed on those islands is considered new generation capacity.
(26)
RAE notes that independent power producers (‘IPPs’) (i.e. other than PPC) have demonstrated a strong interest for developing RES and cogeneration power plants in all micro isolated systems during the last two decades. Consequently, third-party access to the power systems of all NIIs concerning RES and combined heat and power (‘CHP’) development should not be restricted.
(27)
RAE states that it does not oppose granting a derogation for the activation of new conventional power plants, provided certain conditions are met. However, Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC does not provide for the possibility of derogation for new capacity.
(28)
RAE deems that capacity expansion of existing conventional plants concerns mainly a short-term lack of capacity in the NIIs arising from unexpected damages on existing capacity or delayed installation of new capacity, especially during high-demand periods (e.g. summer peaks). These expansions are subject to an open tendering procedure according to Article 8 of Directive 2009/72/EC. Such a procedure is time-consuming and not suited to the urgent nature of emergency situations.
(29)
RAE accepts that PPC, should cover any such emergency situations. Taking into account that PPC is able to move mobile conventional units from islands in which there is a capacity surplus to those with a capacity deficit, this solution might also be the most economical one.
(30)
RAE stresses that any derogation must allow specifying the appropriate licensing procedure for emergency case situations, and, specifically, which of the criteria mentioned in Article 7 of Directive 2009/72/EC must be examined by the competent licensing authorities.
(31)
RAE deems that derogation should be granted with a limited duration such as a maximum of 10 years.
3.1.2. Derogation from Chapter VIII of the Directive
(32)
According to RAE, the supply of electricity in the NIIs is connected in practical terms to the NII PSO and the NII PSO compensation because (i) the cost of electricity generation in the NIIs is significantly higher than that in the mainland and (ii) the Greek State requires a uniform pricing, per customer category, throughout its territory.
(33)
The NII Code foresees the installation of certain metering and recording equipment on the NIIs for hourly measuring, energy management and control centres, monitoring and related IT systems. RAE maintains that this infrastructure is indispensable for:
(a)
ensuring that the PSO costs are transparent, non-discriminatory and can be verified;
(b)
the proper operation and sound management of the electrical systems themselves so as to achieve the most economical operation mode and, therefore, a larger reduction of NII PSO charges for electricity consumers;
(c)
accomplishing a higher RES and cogeneration penetration, including RES technologies with complex and special requirements for their management, such as RES with storage, solar-thermal plants, etc.;
(d)
guaranteeing the necessary transparency in the management of the isolated systems, thereby ensuring non-discriminatory treatment of all market participants, in particular producers.
(34)
RAE consequently argues that, regardless as to whether one or more suppliers are licensed to be active within a micro isolated system, this infrastructure must be installed in the isolated systems on the NIIs.
(35)
The estimated cost for installing this infrastructure is not expected to exceed EURO 20 to 30 million for all NIIs, including Crete and Rhodes. RAE deems this amount reasonable, especially when considering the expected benefits i.e. securing transparency and verification of the NII PSO as well as the sound and controlled operation of the isolated electricity systems.
(36)
Contrary to YPEKA, RAE takes the view that licensing more than one supplier to be active in a given isolated system on the NIIs will not entail substantial additional cost of the infrastructure required as the same infrastructure is in any event already necessary for the daily scheduling of NII located generation units, market settlement and for providing for the NII PSO.
(37)
Furthermore, RAE deems that additional significant benefits for NII consumers exist in allowing more than a single supplier to be active.
(38)
Consequently, RAE takes the view that the permanent exclusion of alternative suppliers in NII markets is not warranted. The installation of the necessary infrastructure as described above is expected to be completed in a time period of three to five years. RAE would not oppose a possible derogation strictly for this time-period, without any further extension.
(39)
RAE further notes that in case the status of any isolated system on the NIIs changes so that it no longer falls into the category of small or micro isolated systems, the derogation should automatically cease to apply. This could arise where the isolated systems on the NIIs are interconnected with the Greek interconnected system.
4. ASSESSMENT
4.1. LEGAL BASIS OF THE APPLICATION
(40)
Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC provides for the possibility to derogate from certain provisions of the Directive, where the derogation applies to small isolated systems and micro isolated systems.
(41)
According to Article 2(26) of Directive 2009/72/EC, a small isolated system is any system with consumption of less than 3 000 GWh in the year 1996, where less than 5 % of annual consumption is obtained through interconnection with other systems.'
(42)
According to Article 2(27) of Directive 2009/72/EC a micro isolated system is any system with consumption less than 500 GWh in the year 1996, where there is no connection with other systems.
(43)
The isolated systems identified in the application consist of one and, occasionally, several NIIs (see columns 1 and 2 of the Table). Even if an isolated system consists of several NIIs that are interconnected between them, the electricity system constituted by those interconnected NIIs is isolated, in the sense that it is not connected to any other electricity system.
(44)
The application claims that 31 of the 32 isolated systems are micro isolated systems, the largest of which is Rhodes. The micro isolated systems for which the application has been made represented 5,24 % of the total sales of electricity in Greece in 2010. The isolated system of Crete is considered a small isolated system. Crete represented in 2010 3,01 % of Greek electricity demand.

(45)
The table above contains the isolated systems as identified in the application and provides certain information on each of them. From this information it can be derived that all isolated systems, except Crete, had in 1996 an electricity demand that qualifies them as micro isolated systems within the meaning of Article 2(27) of Directive 2009/72/EC. With regard to Crete it needs to be mentioned in addition that, as Crete was and still is not interconnected to any other electricity system, the percentage share of demand satisfied through interconnectors was and still is zero, i.e. lower than 5 %. Crete is thus a small isolated system within the meaning of Article 2(26) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(46)
The RAE opinion did not comment on the isolated systems identified in the application.
(47)
The Commission thus concludes that isolated systems as identified in column 1 of above table are all micro isolated systems within the meaning of Article 2(27) of Directive 2009/72/EC, except for Crete, which is a small isolated system within the meaning of Article 2(26) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
4.2. SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEMS FOR THE OPERATION OF CONVENTIONAL POWER PLANTS IN THE MICRO ISOLATED SYSTEMS
(48)
The Commission considers that substantial problems for the operation of conventional power plants in the micro isolated systems exist. This is due in particular to the following elements:
(a)
The size of the load that needs to be served on the islands does not allow for larger, more efficient and cost effective conventional power plants to be installed, also because in order for an isolated system to be able to operate within acceptable safety margins, it cannot rely on a single power plant.
The annual peak on none of the micro isolated systems surpassed 188,5 MW in 2013. The average and median peak load, with 20,8 and 4,2 MW respectively, are much smaller.
None of the conventional plants currently installed on the micro isolated systems have a capacity larger than 27 MW. The average and median plant size are, with 3,9 and 1,1 MW respectively, much smaller.
The small size of the load to be served, the strong variation in demand, further affected by the increasing penetration of RES, reduces also the choice of technologies of the conventional powers plants that can be employed within the micro isolated systems.
All conventional generation capacity on the NII isolated systems is fuelled by diesel or fuel-oil.
(b)
The annual load factors in all micro isolated systems are low. The load factor did not surpass 0,54 in 2012 in any of the micro isolated systems. The average and median peak load of both 0,38 are even smaller. In view of the priority access of RES and the fact that the load factors used here reflect the entire electricity system of the micro isolated system, the load factor for conventional power plants on NIIs is even lower.
The annual load factor in the Greek interconnected system is normally about 50 % for all units and 65 % for thermal units (6).
The annual load factor is indicative of the actual use that is made of power plants during a given year and hence their ability to earn revenue.
The increasing penetration of RES will reduce the load to be served by conventional power plants further.
(c)
Several projects exist that aim to interconnect the NIIs, in particular the Cyclades and Crete, with the main Greek interconnected system. As explained above, conventional power plants on the NIIs are not as efficient as the power plants installed in the interconnected system and are therefore unlikely to be economically viable once the NIIs on which it is located is interconnected.
The possibility that an isolated system will be interconnected is thus a serious disincentive for investing in conventional capacity on the NIIs.
(d)
The relatively small load to be served means that relatively small reversals in demand are likely to affect the generation capacity required within a given isolated system. The lack of interconnection capacity means that all changes in demand by necessity must be matched by generation capacity located within the micro isolated system.
This factor increases the need for expediency and flexibility in responding to longer term demand reversals.
This need for flexibility is further enhanced by the perceived difficulties to find suitable sites for conventional power plants on the NIIs and the duration of licensing and permitting procedures.
(e)
The ratio of maximum over minimum annual demand in 2012 (7) in all micro isolated systems is at least 3,35 but is higher, often much higher, for a given micro isolated system. Indeed, the average and median ratio of maximum over minimum demand are 6,27 and 5,98.
The ratio of maximum over minimum demand in 2010 in the Greek interconnected system is about 3.
The higher ratio of maximum over minimum demand reflects the degree of flexibility and reserves that, even within a given year, need to be available within the generation capacity installed in an isolated system.
It is noteworthy in this regard that in 2012 on about 60 % of the micro isolated systems use is made of mobile power generators.
(49)
The Commission therefore concludes that substantial problems exist for the operation of conventional power plants within the NII isolated systems as identified in the table above.
4.3. ASSESSMENT OF THE DEROGATION REQUESTED FROM CHAPTER III
4.3.1. The derogation from the provisions in Chapter III cannot apply to new capacity
(50)
Pursuant to Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC derogations from the provision of Chapter III can only be granted as far as refurbishing, upgrading and expanding existing capacity is concerned.
(51)
Consequently, derogation from the provisions in Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC cannot be granted for new capacity.
(52)
Instead, given that the isolated systems on the NIIs are distribution networks, should the authorisation procedure for new capacity fail to provide for the satisfactory authorisation of new capacity for the isolated systems on the NIIs, the Greek authorities may consider using the provisions of Article 7(3) of Directive 2009/72/EC also for new small conventional capacity. Such new small conventional capacity may for instance include temporary generation capacity that may be made available on a long term basis without permanent attribution to a specific location.
4.3.2. The derogation from the provisions of Chapter III cannot apply to Crete
(53)
As stated above, all NIIs are micro isolated systems, with the exception of Crete, which is a small isolated system.
(54)
Consequently, derogation from the provisions in Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC cannot be granted for Crete.
4.3.3. The derogation from the provisions in Chapter III does not cover RES and CHP plants
(55)
The application does not explicitly mention that the requested derogation regards conventional plants only.
(56)
Article 133(3) of Law 4001/2011 however expressly excludes electricity produced by using renewable energy sources, by high-efficiency cogeneration or hybrid plants and in the case of auto producers from the scope of exclusive production licence that may be awarded to PPC. The same follows from Article 225 of the NII Code.
(57)
Moreover, the provided justification relates to substantial problems with the operation of conventional power plants only. In fact, it is reasoned that those power plants are confronted with substantial problems as a result, inter alia, of the increase in RES penetration.
(58)
Consequently, even if the application should seek to request derogation from the provisions of Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC for generation plants other than conventional power plants, the derogation cannot be granted, as no grounds justifying it were provided.
4.3.4. The derogation for the authorisation of refurbishing, upgrading and expanding existing capacity can be granted
(59)
In view of the above-mentioned substantial problems for the operation of conventional power plants within the small isolated systems, derogation can be granted for the authorisation of existing conventional capacity to the extent that this concerns the refurbishing, upgrading and expanding of existing conventional capacity. Such authorisation can be directly granted to PPC.
(60)
For the purpose of this derogation:
(a)
existing conventional generation capacity comprises projects for the construction of conventional generation capacity for which a license by RAE has already been granted and has not been cancelled on the date this Decision takes effect;
(b)
the full demolishment of the main generation capacity on an existing site and its replacement by a new electricity generation installation is considered as construction of new capacity;
(c)
the placement of temporary generation capacity within the perimeter of the existing capacity constitutes expanding existing capacity.
(61)
However, there are no grounds for a derogation from the criteria and conditions, such as those laid down in Article 7(2) of Directive 2009/72/EC, under which an authorisation is granted to PPC.
(62)
Moreover, in case the derogation is granted directly to PPC, it is important that the terms stipulate the obligations as regards the time by which the authorised conventional power plant must be fully operational and include provisions ensuring full and effective compliance with such obligations. Upon expiry, on RAE's sole discretion, such direct authorisation can be prolonged but only if it expired for reasons fully beyond the control of PPC. Upon expiry, RAE should organise an authorisation procedure in full compliance with Article 7(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC, thus including the participation of third parties.
4.3.5. The derogation cannot cover tendering for new capacity
(63)
By definition, tendering within the meaning of Article 8 of Directive 2009/72/EC concerns the capacity that remains to be constructed and authorised and, hence, constitutes new capacity.
(64)
For the reasons already set out above, derogation for new capacity should not be granted pursuant to Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
4.4. ASSESSMENT OF THE REQUESTED DEROGATION FROM CHAPTER VIII
4.4.1. The derogation from the provisions of Chapter VIII does not cover Article 32 on third party access
(65)
The application concerns the derogation from Chapter VIII of Directive 2009/72/EC and, hence, may be deemed to include a request for derogation from the provisions of Article 32 regarding third party access (‘TPA’).
(66)
The application does not specify whether the requested derogation also covers Article 32 of Directive 2009/72/EC nor does it provide any grounds justifying such a derogation. Instead, Law 4001/2011 and the NII code oblige DEDDIE to provide non-discriminatory third party access to the distribution system as operated by DEDDIE (e.g. Article 127 of Law 4001/2011). Consequently, such a derogation cannot be granted.
4.4.2. Derogation from Article 33 on market opening and reciprocity
4.4.2.1. No grounds for permanent derogation from Article 33 of Directive 2009/72/EC
(67)
The application essentially argues that PPC should remain the sole supplier licensed to supply customers on the NII on the grounds that developing the necessary infrastructure for the operation and supervision of the electricity market in micro isolated systems together with those necessary for market opening for third party suppliers entails operating costs to the NII operator that outweigh the benefits that may accrue to consumers from market opening.
(68)
As becomes apparent from the RAE opinion, the infrastructure installed on the NIIs seeks to ensure that the NII PSO can be administered, in compliance with existing law, in a transparent, verifiable and non-discriminatory manner. Moreover, the infrastructure is required for operating the NII isolated systems from a technical and economical point of view. Consequently, as the infrastructure is necessary in any event to meet those requirements, regardless as to the number of suppliers that are licensed on the NIIs, market opening does not increase the cost of the infrastructure.
(69)
Even if similar infrastructure is required, market opening is not intrinsically connected to the technical operation of the isolated systems on the NIIs or the NII PSO as there is no causal link between the technical and economical operation of these isolated systems and the operation of the NII PSO in accordance with the relevant legal requirements on the one hand and the question as to whether one or several suppliers are licenced to supply NII electricity consumers on the other hand.
(70)
It is correct that the higher production costs in the NIIs as compared to the production costs in the interconnected system must be recovered from suppliers active in the NIIs by repartitioning the respective part of the NII PSO compensation as a function of the electricity sales to their customers. However, establishing the production costs on the NIIs is in any way required to determine the financial compensation for the NII PSO, regardless as to the number of suppliers active on the NIIs.
(71)
The sole additional requirement for market opening is the repartitioning to each supplier of the respective parts of the NII PSO compensation as a function of the electricity sales of their customers. Even the related customer data, in particular metering data, are required regardless as to whether one of more than one supplier is licensed to supply NII based customers.
(72)
Consequently, granting the NII PSO compensation to suppliers merely entails the ability to attribute customers' metering data to a particular licenced supplier, which is primarily an administrative process based on information entirely or to a very large extent collected regardless as to whether market opening on the NIIs exists or not. Secondly, this ability is a precondition for the proper operation of any electricity supply market. Such costs can therefore not be accepted as providing grounds for derogation for market opening, as they are not specific to the operation of the isolated systems on the NIIs and connected to a substantial problem in the operation thereof.
(73)
It is important to note that drawing up registers to attribute metering information to suppliers is part of the infrastructure to be put in place. Whereas putting in place the full envisaged infrastructure will facilitate the optimal operation of isolated electricity systems, the full realisation of the related investments is not a necessary condition for market opening to take place.
(74)
The fact that a large variation in the values of the average annual variable production cost per NII may exist is immaterial. Indeed, even if substantiated, such variation concerns the cost of producing electricity within the NII isolated systems. Establishing this amount is already required for administrating the NII PSO in accordance with the legal requirements and, moreover, is not affected in any way by the number of suppliers licenced to supply NII based customers. Moreover, in view of the fact that the administration of the NII PSO is already based on a monthly system for each isolated system separately, it is difficult to conceive that large annual variations per NII can give rise to material problems.
(75)
It follows from the above that the number of suppliers licensed to supply customers on the NIIs is neither intrinsically linked to the technical and economic operation of the isolated systems nor to the operation of the NII PSO in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.
(76)
It can moreover be noted that market opening has benefits that outweigh the costs, should those exist, of market opening. As RAE notes, alternative suppliers in the NIIs could provide additional significant benefits to the NII based customers by combining the provision of other services with that of electricity supply.
(77)
Consequently, the request for derogation on a permanent basis from Article 33 should not be granted.
4.4.2.2. Limitation in duration for an isolated system from Article 33 of Directive 2009/72/EC
(78)
In view of the above, it must be recognised that market opening requires setting up practical arrangements to enable the NII isolated systems to be operated fully in line with the NII Code. Practical problems related to market opening may entail either the unavailability of the registers required to attribute meters and metering data to suppliers or the fact that the optimal infrastructure configuration is not yet in place On this basis, granting a derogation from Article 33 of Directive 2009/72/EC that is limited in time can be envisaged.
(79)
In assessing the duration of such a derogation from Chapter VIII, the following two considerations are relevant:
(a)
as already pointed out, the most important element required for enabling market opening on the NIIs is the availability of a register on the NIIs allowing the attribution of metering data to a given supplier. Article 327(4) of the NII Code stipulates that the register required for this purpose is finalised at the latest 2 years after the entry into force of the NII Code. The availability of the register is a necessary condition for market opening in practical terms;
(b)
the full completion of the investment programme for the infrastructure to be installed on the NIIs would certainly facilitate the practical operation of market opening on the NIIs. However, this is however not a necessary requirement. Article 237(7) of the NII Code lays down a schedule by which all the current NIIs are supposed to be equipped with the additional infrastructure to be installed on the NIIs at the latest 5 years following the entry into force of the NII Code.
(80)
Consequently, a derogation from market opening should be granted for at least 2 years after the entry into force of the NII Code, i.e. until 17 February 2016, in order for the registers, that are a necessary requirement for market opening, to be established. As the full infrastructure has to be installed at the latest 5 years after the entry into force of the NII code, the validity of the derogation should in any event be limited to 5 years after the entry into force of the NII code, i.e. until 17 February 2019 for any of the NII isolated system. However, as the derogation can only be justified where substantial and material problems remain for market opening that are directly attributable to the non-completion of the infrastructure investment programme on the NIIs, it should be verified regularly whether such problems persist on a given NII isolated system. Such verification should use as a benchmark an investment plan by DEDDIE, approved by the competent Greek authorities, for the installation of the required infrastructure on the NIIs. This plan should therefore be finalized and approved by 17 February 2015.
(81)
In order not to delay market opening unnecessarily, the infrastructure investment plan of DEDDIE should be approved by RAE and should prioritise the isolated systems of Crete and Rhodes, as those are the most populous NIIs.
(82)
From 17 February 2016, and thereafter on an annual basis until 17 February 2019, DEDDIE should draw-up a report, which should be approved by RAE, specifying on what grounds market opening has not yet occurred in a given NII isolated system. This report should be published and notified to the Commission.
4.4.3. The derogation from the provision of Chapter VIII does not cover Article 34
(83)
The application concerns derogation from Chapter VIII of Directive 2009/72/EC and, hence, may be deemed to include a request for derogation from Article 34 regarding direct lines within the meaning of Article 2(15) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(84)
The application does not specify whether the requested derogation also covers Article 34 of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(85)
Consequently, even if the application is meant to request derogation from Article 34 of Directive 2009/72/EC, such a derogation should not be granted as no grounds justifying it were provided.
4.4.4. Interconnectors — application of the derogation from Chapters III and VIII
(86)
The present derogation concerns micro isolated systems that are precisely characterised by the fact that they are not or, in the case of small isolated systems, only to a very limited degree, interconnected with other electricity systems.
(87)
However:
(a)
according to the recently approved Ten-Year Development Plan of the Greek transmission system operator, the Independent Power Transmission Operator, or ‘ADMIE’) S.A], ADMIE, the interconnection of the Cyclades islands is expected to be completed by 2018 in three phases, with certain Cyclades islands being interconnected with the Greek interconnected system well before this date;
(b)
moreover, the interconnection of Crete is expected to be completed by 2020. The relevant parts of the project for the first three years have been included in the 2013 approved Ten-Year Development Plan of ADMIE. The final plan must be included in the Ten–Year Development Plan that will be approved in 2014.
(88)
It is necessary to explicitly provide that the present derogation for a given isolated system ceases automatically as soon as an interconnection between a given isolated system and the Greek interconnected system has become fully operational.
(89)
DEDDIE, even if legally and functionally unbundled, is 100 % owned by PPC. Contrary to a distribution system operator within the meaning of Directive 2009/72/EC, DEDDIE also has extensive tasks in the operation of the NII isolated systems and the operation of generation on the NIIs, including the conventional generation capacity owned by PPC and, hence, its economic remuneration. As set out above, interconnection affects the economic viability of the conventional power plants currently installed within the isolated systems on the NIIs.
(90)
Derogations should only be granted if they are proportional and do not go beyond what is strictly necessary. It is therefore necessary to provide clear incentives and transparency as regards decisions whether to interconnect the NII isolated systems.
(91)
Article 108 of Law 4001/2011 provides that:
‘ADMIE SA shall submit a ten-year Greek electricity transmission system development plan to the RAE by 31 March each year […] The ten-year Greek electricity transmission system development plan shall in particular: […] (c) provide a technical and financial cost-benefit study for important transmission works […], especially for […] connectors between islands and the transmission system, including a timeframe, estimated cash flow and financing requirements for all investment projects’
.
(92)
In order to ensure that clear incentives and transparency as regards decisions whether to interconnect the NII isolated systems exist, the Greek authorities should ensure that:
(a)
when authorising or tendering for existing or new capacity for a given isolated system on a NII, ADMIE, DEDDIE and RAE systematically consider the alternative of interconnecting the isolated system of which the given NII is part. Such authorisation for existing or new capacity should be refused if constructing an interconnector is more cost effective. Costs should comprise all costs to supply electricity to end-customers within the isolated system, including NII PSO compensation;
(b)
the cost-benefit study for important transmission works by ADMIE as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011 only considers efficient costs of investing and operating the interconnection. In particular, it should not consider revenues lost by or depreciation in value of the conventional generation assets already installed on the NIIs;
(c)
RAE publishes in conjunction with ADMIE's ten-year investment plan as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011, the overall costs, including the NII PSO compensation, of supplying electricity customers in each of the NII isolated systems. Unless the construction of an interconnector is integrated in ADMIE's ten-year investment plan as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011 as approved by RAE, RAE will, upon its own initiative or upon simple request by a third party, organise a tender as provided for in Article 22(7)(b) of Directive 2009/72/EC for the construction of an interconnector connecting one or several NII isolated systems. An interconnector should be constructed if its construction lowers the overall costs, including the NII PSO compensation, of supplying electricity to customers located on the NIIs;
(d)
RAE sets a clear deadline for the completion of the construction of an interconnector. If the interconnector is not constructed or not within the time frame set by RAE, damages should be sought for the non-realized costs savings.
4.5. DURATION
(93)
It is necessary to review the facts on which the present derogation is based, in particular after the plans for interconnecting certain isolated systems are due to be completed and the deadlines for installing the infrastructure as provided for in Article 237 of the NII Code have expired.
(94)
Consequently, any derogation shall be valid until 1 January 2021.
4.6. RETROACTIVE EFFECT
(95)
As stated above, the application of 17 January 2012 renewed the initial application that was submitted in 2003.
(96)
Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC, repealed by Directive 2009/72/EC, also contained provisions allowing Member States to apply for derogations from certain provisions of that Directive in case of substantial problems with the operation of small and micro isolated systems. Pursuant to article 48 of Directive 2009/72/EC references to the repealed Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC shall be construed as references to Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(97)
The definitions of small isolated system and micro isolated system employed in Article 2(26) and (27) of Directive 2003/54/EC are identical to those used in Article 2(26) and (27) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
(98)
Both these definitions refer to the demand for electricity in isolated systems in 1996, which did not change. Moreover, Crete was not interconnected to the Greek interconnected system neither in 2003 nor in 2012, or at the moment at which the present derogation decision takes effect
(99)
Consequently, all micro and small isolated electricity systems that qualify as micro or small isolated system in the application, qualified as such when the initial application was made and when the present derogation decision takes effect.
(100)
Consequently, no legal or factual changes have occurred with regard to the small and micro isolated systems that may qualify for derogation under Directive 2003/54/EC and Directive 2009/72/EC.
(101)
Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC allowed granting derogation from its Chapter III, which contains provisions, as those of Chapter III of Directive 2009/72/EC regarding authorisation procedures for new capacity and tendering for new capacity.
(102)
Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC allowed granting derogation from its Chapter VII which contains provisions, as those of Chapter VIII of Directive 2009/72/EC, concerning third party access, market opening and direct lines.
(103)
Had the Commission granted derogation in response to the initial application, it could have done so on the same terms as under the present derogation under Directive 2009/72/EC.
(104)
Moreover, no change in the factual circumstances has occurred since 2003. Indeed, the geographical situation of the NIIs, the economic factors governing the operation of the electrical systems within NII isolated systems and the nature of the substantial problems that exit with the operation of conventional power plants within the NII isolated systems have not materially changed since 2003.
(105)
The initial application has been pending since 2003. The non-action of the Commission should not be to the detriment of the Hellenic Republic. The Hellenic Republic has complied with its obligations under Article 26(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC and Article 44(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC and submitted a duly justified request for derogation under those Articles for the isolated systems on the NIIs.
(106)
It is therefore appropriate that the present derogation decision takes effects from the date of notification of the initial application, i.e. from 5 December 2003,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
This decision applies to small and micro isolated systems as identified in the Table.
For the purpose of this Decision, Crete is a small isolated system whereas all other isolated systems are micro isolated systems.
Article 2
1. A derogation is granted from the provisions of Article 33 of Directive 2009/72/EC for small and micro isolated systems.
2. This derogation shall be valid until 17 February 2016 or the full installation of the infrastructure as provided for in Article 237(7) of the NII Code, whatever comes later. In any event, this derogation shall cease to apply on 17 February 2019.
3. The Greek authorities shall by 17 February 2015 draw up a plan for the infrastructure investments as provided for in Article 237(7) of the NII Code, specifying, separately for each NII isolated system, by which date the infrastructure shall be fully installed. This plan shall prioritise Crete and Rhodes.
4. From 17 February 2016, and thereafter on an annual basis until 17 February 2019, the Greek authorities shall draw-up a report specifying, for each NII isolated system: (a) whether market opening has occurred; (b) the status of the infrastructure investments with relation to the relevant plan (c) the substantial and material problems that persist for market opening; and (d) whether those problems can be directly attributed to the non-completion of the infrastructure investment as provided for in Article 237(7) of the NII Code.
Article 3
1. A derogation is granted from the provisions of Article 7(1) of Directive 2009/72/EC according to which authorisations for refurbishing, upgrading and expanding existing conventional capacity within micro isolated systems can be granted directly to PPC.
2. For the purpose of this derogation:
(a)
existing conventional generation capacity shall include projects for refurbishing, upgrading and expanding conventional generation capacity for which a valid license issued by RAE exists on the date of notification of this Decision;
(b)
the full demolishment of the main generation capacity on an existing site and its replacement by a new electricity generation installation shall not constitute existing capacity but construction of new capacity;
(c)
the placement of temporary conventional generation capacity within the perimeter of existing capacity shall constitute expanding existing capacity.
3. Upon expiry of the authorisation granted in accordance with the first paragraph, such authorisation can be prolonged, on RAE's sole discretion, provided the delays are due to reasons entirely beyond the control of PPC.
4. This derogation shall no longer apply to authorisations granted pursuant to the first paragraph that have expired or cancelled.
5. All other provisions of Article 7 Directive 2009/72/EC continue to apply in full.
6. This derogation is valid until 1 January 2021.
Article 4
1. The derogations provided for in this Decision shall no longer apply to small and micro isolated systems once they are interconnected with the interconnected system.
2. The Greek authorities:
(a)
when authorising or tendering for new capacity within a given NII isolated system, shall systematically consider the alternative of interconnecting the isolated system of which the given NII is part. An authorisation for new capacity shall be refused if constructing an interconnector is more cost effective. Costs shall comprise all costs to supply electricity to end-customers within the isolated system, including NII PSO compensation;
(b)
shall ensure that the cost-benefit study for important transmission works by ADMIE as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011 shall only consider efficient costs of investing and operating the projected interconnection. It shall not consider revenues lost by or depreciation in value of the conventional generation assets already installed on the NIIs;
(c)
shall publish, in conjunction with ADMIE's ten-year investment plan as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011, the overall costs, including the NII PSO compensation, of supplying electricity customers in each of the NII isolated systems. Unless the construction of an interconnector is integrated in ADMIE's ten-year investment plan as provided for in Article 108 of Law 4001/2011 as approved by RAE, the Greek Authorities shall, upon their own initiative or upon simple request by a third party, organise a tender as provided for in Article 22(7)(b) of Directive 2009/72/EC for the construction of an interconnector connecting one or several NII isolated systems. An interconnector shall be constructed if its construction lowers the overall costs, including the NII PSO compensation, of supplying electricity to customers located on the NIIs;
(d)
shall set a clear deadline for the completion of the construction of an interconnector. If the interconnector is not constructed or is not constructed within the set time frame, the Greek Authorities shall seek damages for the non-realised costs savings.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 991/2014
of 19 September 2014
amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for fosetyl 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 16(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
For fosetyl, maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2)
The residue definition for monitoring applicable to fosetyl comprises the parent compound fosetyl, the degradation product phosphorous acid and their salts. Salts of phosphorous acid are named phosphonates.
(3)
The Commission received information from Member States and business operators showing the presence of phosphonates in or on certain products leading to higher residues than the MRL of 2 mg/kg laid down in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for those products, corresponding to the limit of determination.
(4)
The Commission collected monitoring data in 2014 to investigate the presence of phosphonates in food. Those data were generated by food business operators and showed that phosphonates are present at levels that vary depending on the source and product, but frequently exceed the MRL set at the limit of determination of 2 mg/kg. Further data analysis indicated that the vast majority of non-compliant samples contain residues of phosphorous acid and its salts in excess of the limit of determination while residues of fosetyl and its salts remain below the limit of determination.
(5)
Although phosphonates have not been included in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) by virtue of Article 14 of that Regulation, they could be contained in fertilisers authorised at national level, notably certain fertiliser products applied to the leaves of plants (foliar fertilisers). Given the lack of relevant authorisations for plant protection products containing fosetyl both in the Union and in third countries that are important exporters of the concerned food products into the Union, the scarcity of detectable residues for fosetyl and its salts, and the use of phosphonates as ingredient in foliar fertiliser products, it can be reasonably assumed that residues are a consequence of the application of foliar fertiliser products containing phosphonates.
(6)
The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, to give an opinion on public health risks of phosphonate residues in or on certain products. Given the urgency the Authority issued a statement, referring to several remaining uncertainties, rather than a reasoned opinion (3). It forwarded that statement to the Commission and the Member States and made it available to the public.
(7)
The Authority concluded in its statement that the proposed temporary MRLs are expected to sufficiently protect consumers. The lifetime exposure to phosphonate residues via consumption of all food products that may contain them did not show that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) is exceeded. The Authority did not perform an acute consumer exposure assessment due to the low acute toxicity of phosphonate. The Authority pointed out that its statement is affected by uncertainties and proposed to change the residue definition.
(8)
To avoid significant market disruptions in the trade of the concerned products and as there is no risk for consumers identified from the current scientific data, it is appropriate to set temporary MRLs for fosetyl, based on the available monitoring data and on the statement of the Authority. Those temporary MRLs should apply only until measures to prevent the occurrence of phosphonate residues in relevant crops in future growing seasons take effect.
(9)
Based on the statement of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modification to the MRL fulfils the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(10)
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 June 2014
amending Decision 2012/481/EU establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for printed paper
(notified under document C(2014) 3590)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/345/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 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-Labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Decision 2012/481/EU (2) excludes board substrates above 400 g/m2 from the scope, as that Decision requires that printed paper products are printed only on paper bearing the EU Ecolabel as established in Commission Decision 2011/333/EU (3) or in Commission Decision 2012/448/EU (4). However, certain product categories, such as pads, notebooks, exercise books, spiral-bound notebooks and calendars with covers, included in the scope of Decision 2012/481/EU, entail the use of paperboard substrates which exceed 400 g/m2. Therefore, the implementation of the criteria for certain products has been impossible.
(2)
The scope of Commission Decision 2014/256/EU (5) includes stationery paper products that consist of at least 70 % by weight of paper, paperboard or paper-based substrates and establishes requirements for board substrates with a basis weight higher than 400 g/m2.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 66/2010.
(4)
Decision 2012/481/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2012/481/EU is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 1, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘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, 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)
in paragraph 3 of Article 1, point (c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c)
folders, envelopes, ring binders and stationery paper products.’;
(3)
in Article 2, point (1) is replaced by the following:
‘(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, reports, handbooks and paperbacks. “Books” do not include journals, brochures, magazines, catalogues published on a regular basis and annual reports.’;
(4)
in Article 2, point (9) is replaced by the following:
‘(9)
A “printed paper product” means the product resulting from the processing of a printing material. The processing consists of printing onto paper. In addition to printing, the processing may include finishing, for example folding, stamping and cutting or assembling, using glue, binding, yarn-binding. Printed paper products include newspapers, advertising materials and news-sheets, journals, catalogues, books, leaflets, brochures, posters, business cards and labels.’;
(5)
Criterion 3 in Annex to Decision 2012/481/EU is amended:
‘Criterion 3 — Recyclability
The printed paper product shall be recyclable. The printed paper shall be de-inkable and the non-paper components of the printed paper product shall be easily removable to ensure that those components will not hinder the recycling process.
(a)
Wet strength agents may be used only if the recyclability of the finished product can be proved.
(b)
Adhesives may be used only if their removability can be proved.
(c)
Coating varnishes and lamination, including polyethene and/or polyethene/polypropylene, may be used only for covers of books, magazines and catalogues.
(d)
The de-inkability shall be proved.
Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide the test result of the recyclability for wet strength agents and removability for adhesives. The reference test methods are PTS method PTS-RH 021/97 (for wet strength agents), INGEDE Method 12 (for non-soluble adhesive removability), or equivalent test methods. The de-inkability shall be proven by using the “Deinking Scorecard” (6) of the European Recovered Paper Council or equivalent test methods. Testing shall be performed on three types of paper: uncoated, coated and surface-sized paper. If a type of printing ink is only sold for one or two specific types of paper, it is sufficient to test the paper type(s) in question. The applicant shall provide a declaration that coated and laminated printed paper products are in compliance with point 3(c). Where a part of a printed paper product is easily removable (for instance a plastic cover), the recyclability test may be made without this component. The easiness of removal of the non-paper components shall be proven via a declaration of the paper collecting company, the recycling company or an equivalent organisation. Test methods shown by a competent and independent third party as giving equivalent results may also be used.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 301/2014
of 25 March 2014
amending Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as regards chromium VI compounds
(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(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 19 January 2012, the Kingdom of Denmark submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (hereinafter ‘Agency’) a dossier pursuant to Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, in order to initiate the restrictions process in accordance with Articles 69 to 73 of that Regulation (hereinafter ‘Annex XV dossier’). In that dossier, it was demonstrated that exposure to chromium VI, when contained in leather articles or leather parts of articles coming into contact with the skin, poses a risk to human health. Chromium VI compounds can induce new cases of sensitisation and elicit allergic response. The dossier demonstrates that action on a Union-wide basis is necessary.
(2)
Chromium VI compounds can be formed in leather through the oxidation of chromium III compounds, which are added in some tanning processes to cross-link the collagen subunits in order to increase leather’s dimensional stability, as well as its resistance to mechanical action and heat. According to the Annex XV dossier, the mechanisms of and conditions under which chromium VI is formed are known and most tanneries in the Union have already developed and widely implemented measures in order to control and minimise its formation.
(3)
On 28 November 2012 the Committee for Risk Assessment (hereinafter ‘RAC’) adopted by consensus the opinion on the restriction proposed in the Annex XV dossier. According to the RAC opinion, the restriction is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks posed by chromium VI compounds in leather, both in terms of effectiveness and practicability. However, in its opinion RAC proposed to modify the restriction by deleting the notion of direct and prolonged contact with the skin, originally included in the Annex XV dossier.
(4)
The proposed restriction focuses on the risk of induction of skin sensitisation related to direct or indirect skin contact with leather articles or leather parts of articles containing chromium VI. In already sensitised people, such contacts may also elicit allergic response at lower concentrations than those needed for the induction of sensitisation.
(5)
The proposed restriction should cover leather articles and articles containing leather parts used by consumers or workers, that under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use come into contact with the skin.
(6)
The EN ISO 17075 standard method is the only internationally recognised analytical method currently available to detect chromium VI in leather, including leather in articles. The determination limit of the EN ISO 17075 standard method is 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of chromium VI content in the total dry weight of the leather. Fixing such threshold for the restriction of the placing on the market of leather articles or articles containing leather parts is therefore justified for monitorability and enforceability purposes.
(7)
According to the RAC opinion, the threshold of 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of chromium VI content in the total dry weight of the leather corresponds to exposures higher than the Lowest-Observed Adverse Effect Level for elicitation. According to the opinion of RAC, that threshold is expected to be 80 % effective in reducing the occurrence of new chromium VI-related allergic dermatitis cases due to chromium VI in leather articles.
(8)
The effectiveness of the restriction on the number of cases of chromium allergy can be determined by monitoring cases of chromium VI-related allergic dermatitis. Should the prevalence of the allergy not decrease, or should an analytical method to detect lower content of chromium VI become available and be recognised as reliable, this restriction should be reviewed.
(9)
On 6 March 2013 the Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (hereinafter ‘SEAC’) adopted by consensus the opinion on the restriction proposed in the Annex XV dossier. According to the SEAC opinion, the restriction, as modified by RAC, is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks in terms of the proportionality of its socioeconomic benefits to its socioeconomic costs.
(10)
The Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement was consulted during the restrictions process.
(11)
On 8 April 2013 the Agency submitted to the Commission the opinions of RAC and SEAC based on which the Commission concluded that an unacceptable risk to human health arose where chromium VI compounds were present in leather articles and articles containing leather parts, coming into contact with the skin, which needs to be addressed on a Union-wide basis. The socioeconomic impacts of this restriction, including the availability of alternatives, have been taken into account.
(12)
The restriction on the placing on the market of second-hand articles would impose a disproportionate burden on the consumers re-selling these articles. Furthermore, due to the nature of those transactions, such restriction would be difficult to enforce. Therefore, this restriction should not apply to leather articles or articles containing leather parts which were in end-use in the Union before this Regulation applies.
(13)
It is appropriate to provide for a period of 12 months after the entry into force of this Regulation for the stakeholders concerned to take measures to comply with this Regulation, including addressing articles that are already in the supply chain, including in stocks.
(14)
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15)
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.
It shall apply from 1 May 2015.

ANNEX
In Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the following paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 are added to column 2 of entry 47:
‘5.
Leather articles coming into contact with the skin shall not be placed on the market where they contain chromium VI in concentrations equal to or greater than 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of the total dry weight of the leather.
6.
Articles containing leather parts coming into contact with the skin shall not be placed on the market where any of those leather parts contains chromium VI in concentrations equal to or greater than 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of the total dry weight of that leather part.
7.
Paragraphs 5 and 6 shall not apply to the placing on the market of second-hand articles which were in end-use in the Union before 1 May 2015.’ |

(2) The analytical method to be used for the determination of the fatty matter content is that printed in Annex I (method A) to Commission Directive 84/4/EEC (OJ L 15, 18.1.1984, p. 28).
(3) The procedure to be followed for the determination of the fatty matter content is as follows:
—
the sample has to be crushed so that 90 % or more can pass through a sieve with an aperture of 500 micrometres and 100 % can pass through a sieve with an aperture of 1 000 micrometres,
—
the analytical method to be used afterwards is that which is printed in Annex I (method A) to Directive 84/4/EEC.
(4) The dry matter content of starch is determined by the method laid down in Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 687/2008 (OJ L 192, 19.7.2008, p. 20). The purity of starch is determined using the Ewers modified polarimetric method, as published in Annex III, part L of Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (O.J. L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1).
(5) The export refund payable for starch shall be adjusted by using the following formula:
1.
Potato starch: ((actual % dry matter)/80) × export refund.
2.
All other types of starch: ((actual % dry matter)/87) × export refund.
When completing customs formalities, the applicant shall state on the declaration provided for this purpose the dry matter content of the product.
(6) The export refund is payable for products having a dry matter content of at least 78 %. The export refund provided for products having a dry matter content of less than 78 % shall be adjusted by using the following formula:
((actual dry matter content)/78) × export refund.
The dry matter content is determined by method 2 laid down in Annex II to Commission Directive 79/796/EEC (OJ L 239, 22.9.1979, p. 24), or by any other suitable analysis method offering at least the same guarantees.
(7) Covered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 (OJ L 147, 30.6.1995, p. 51).

(2014/668/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 February 2014
concerning the placing on the market for essential use of biocidal products containing copper
(notified under document C(2014) 718)
(Only the Dutch, English, Polish and Spanish texts are authentic)
(2014/85/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 of 7 September 2000 on the first phase of the programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on biocidal products (2), copper was notified for use, inter alia, in product-types 2, 5 and 11, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (3).
(2)
No complete dossier was submitted in support of the inclusion of copper in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC within any of the relevant deadlines. Pursuant to Commission Decision 2012/78/EU of 9 February 2012 concerning the non-inclusion of certain substances in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (4) read in combination with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, copper shall no longer be placed on the market for use in product-types 2, 5 or 11 as of 1 February 2013.
(3)
Pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland have submitted separate applications to the Commission for permission to allow the placing on the market of biocidal products containing copper for the uses indicated by ‘Yes’ in the Annex to this Decision.
(4)
The Commission made the applications publicly available by electronic means. Comments were received and were made publicly available.
(5)
It follows from the applications that transmission of Legionella has been associated, in particular, with use of water such as drinking water, bathing water, showering water and water in cooling towers. Furthermore, it follows that Legionella can be fatal, especially in vulnerable groups such as hospital patients. According to the applications, selection of a suitable system for Legionella control is complex and depends on a number of parameters such as system design, age, complexity and water chemistry.
(6)
It also follows from some of the applications, that biocidal products containing copper are used to prevent growth of organisms in the main water inlet for offshore oil and gas platforms, where that use is essential to avoid blocking the inlet of water used for, inter alia, processing, drinking water and bathing water production, and firefighting, since blocking that inlet could be fatal for the health and safety of the staff at the installation.
(7)
Some comments received during the public consultation have pointed to the existence of alternative methods for water system disinfection. However, the Member States having submitted the applications have argued that, in their territories, it is necessary to have an adequate range of technical and economic feasible alternatives available to control Legionella, and, where relevant, to reduce the risk of blocking the main water inlet for offshore installations. This has been confirmed in some of the public consultations by users of the products in question, such as hospitals.
(8)
It therefore appears likely that not allowing use for Legionella control, or where relevant for preventing growth of organisms in the water inlet for offshore oil and gas platforms, in those Member States would currently pose a serious risk for public health. The requested derogations for essential use are therefore currently necessary.
(9)
However, unless a complete application for approval of copper for use in the relevant product-types is submitted without undue delay, users of biocidal products containing copper should implement alternative methods for Legionella control or organism growth prevention. It is therefore appropriate to require that, in such a case, users in those Member States are actively informed in due time to allow them to ensure that those alternative methods are effective before the biocidal products containing copper have to be withdrawn from the market,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. Subject to the conditions provided for by Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland may allow the placing on the market of biocidal products containing copper (EC No 231-159-6; CAS No 7440-50-8) for the uses indicated in the Annex to this Decision.
2. If dossiers for the approval of copper for the product-types relevant to those uses have been submitted and validated as complete by the evaluating Member State by 31 December 2014 at the latest, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland may continue allowing that placing on the market until the deadlines provided for in Article 89 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for cases where a substance is or is not approved.
3. In other cases than those provided for in paragraph 2, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland may continue allowing that placing on the market until 31 December 2017 provided that those Member States ensure, as of 1 January 2015, that users are actively informed about the immediate need to effectively implement alternative methods for the relevant purposes.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Poland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

REGULATION (EU) No 469/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 16 April 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 on the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (ECB/1999/4)
(ECB/2014/18)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 132(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 34.3 and 19.1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The European Central Bank (ECB) has applied Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 of the European Central Bank (ECB/1999/4) (2) to impose sanctions in its various fields of competence, including in particular the implementation of the monetary policy of the Union, the operation of payment systems and the collection of statistical information.
(2)
Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 (3) entitles the ECB to impose on the credit institutions it supervises administrative pecuniary penalties when these institutions breach a requirement under directly applicable Union law and sanctions in case of a breach of ECB regulations or decisions.
(3)
The ECB has adopted Regulation (EU) No YYY/2014 (ECB/2014/17) (4) to further specify the procedures governing the exercise by the ECB, national competent authorities and national designated authorities of their supervisory tasks under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. Regulation (EU) No YYY/2014 (ECB/2014/17) contains provisions on the procedure for the imposition of administrative penalties by the ECB and national competent authorities in the supervisory field.
(4)
In order to establish a consistent regime for the imposition of sanctions by the ECB in the exercise of its supervisory tasks under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 and Regulation (EU) No YYY/2014 (ECB/2014/17), the ECB has adopted Recommendation ECB/2014/19 (5).
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 should be clarified to the effect that it only applies to the imposition of sanctions by the ECB in the exercise of its non-supervisory central bank tasks, while Regulation (EU) No YYY/2014 (ECB/2014/17) applies to the imposition of administrative penalties by the ECB in the exercise of its supervisory tasks.
(6)
When further specifying the procedural rules applying to the initiation and conduct of the infringement procedure laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2532/98, the ECB should take into account the degree of severity of the envisaged sanction.
(7)
Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments
Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 is amended as follows:
(1)
a new Article 1a is inserted after Article 1:
‘Article 1a
Scope
This Regulation shall only apply to sanctions that may be imposed by the ECB in the exercise of its non-supervisory central bank tasks. It shall not apply to any administrative penalties that may be imposed by the ECB in the exercise of its supervisory tasks.’;
(2)
a new Article 1b is inserted after Article 1a:
‘Article 1b
Independent investigating unit
1. For the purposes of deciding whether to initiate an infringement procedure pursuant to Article 2 and exercise the powers laid down in Article 3, the ECB shall establish an internal independent investigating unit (hereinafter “investigating unit”) composed of investigating officers who shall perform their investigative functions independently from the Executive Board and the Governing Council, and shall not take part in the deliberations of the Executive Board and Governing Council.
2. Where the ECB considers that there is a reason to suspect that one or more infringements are being or have been committed, the matter shall be referred to the Executive Board.
3. Where the Executive Board considers that the applicable sanction could exceed the threshold provided for in Article 10(1), the simplified procedure set out in Article 10 shall not apply and the Executive Board shall refer the matter to the investigating unit. The investigating unit shall take a decision on whether or not to initiate an infringement procedure.
4. Any reference to the ECB in Articles 2 to 4, Article 5(1) to (3) and Article 6 shall be read as a reference to the investigating unit of the ECB or, where the simplified procedure under Article 10 applies, to the Executive Board.
5. The provisions of this Article shall be without prejudice to the competence of the competent national central bank to initiate an infringement procedure and conduct an inquiry in accordance with this Regulation.’;
(3)
in Article 2, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘1. No more than one infringement procedure shall be initiated against the same undertaking based on the same facts. For this purpose, no decision on whether or not to initiate an infringement procedure shall be taken by the ECB or by the competent national central bank until they have informed and consulted with one another.’;
(4)
in Article 2, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. Either the ECB or the competent national central bank, as the case may be, shall, upon request, be entitled to assist and cooperate with the other in carrying out the infringement procedure, in particular by transmitting any information that may be deemed relevant.’;
(5)
a new Article 7a is inserted after Article 7:
‘Article 7a
Submission of a proposal to the Executive Board
1. If the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, considers, after completion of the infringement procedure, that a sanction should be imposed on the undertaking concerned, it shall submit a proposal to the Executive Board determining that the undertaking concerned has committed an infringement and specifying the amount of the sanction to be imposed.
2. The investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, shall base its proposal only on facts and objections on which the undertaking concerned has had the opportunity to comment.
3. If the Executive Board considers that the file submitted by the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, is incomplete, it may return the file, together with a reasoned request for additional information, to the investigating unit or the competent national central bank.
4. If the Executive Board, on the basis of a complete file, agrees with the proposal of the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, to impose a sanction on the undertaking concerned, it shall adopt a decision in accordance with the proposal submitted by the investigating unit or competent national central bank.
5. If the Executive Board, on the basis of a complete file, considers that the facts described in the proposal of the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, do not appear to constitute sufficient evidence of an infringement, the Executive Board may adopt a decision closing the case.
6. If the Executive Board, on the basis of a complete file, agrees that the undertaking concerned has committed an infringement, as determined in the proposal of the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, but disagrees with the proposed sanction, it shall adopt a decision specifying the sanction that it considers appropriate.
7. If the Executive Board, on the basis of a complete file, does not agree with the proposal of the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, but concludes that a different infringement has been committed by the undertaking concerned, or that there is a different factual basis for the proposal of the investigating unit or the competent national central bank, as relevant, it shall inform the undertaking concerned in writing of its findings and of the objections raised against the undertaking concerned.
8. The Executive Board shall adopt a decision determining whether or not the undertaking concerned has committed an infringement and specifying the sanction to be imposed, if any. Decisions adopted by the Executive Board shall be based only on facts and objections on which the undertaking concerned has had the opportunity to comment.’.
Article 2
Final provisions
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the Member States in accordance with the Treaties.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 484/2014
of 12 May 2014
laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the hypothetical capital of a central counterparty according to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of 4 July 2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 50a(4) and the third subparagraph of Article 50c(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) institutions established in the Union are currently reporting their compliance with the own funds requirements on a quarterly basis. In order to minimise inconsistencies between the reference dates set for institutions and the dates set for central counterparties (CCPs) for the calculation and reporting of the information related to the hypothetical capital, the reference dates set for CCPs should cover at least the reference dates already set for institutions. However, a higher frequency of reporting of the information related to the hypothetical capital would also accommodate the fact that clearing members established in third countries can have different reporting dates. Furthermore, there might be large variations in own funds requirements and for them to have an updated view of those requirements, clearing members and their competent authorities might want to monitor those exposures more frequently than quarterly.
(2)
In normal situations, the reporting dates for CCPs should not be delayed by more than one week with respect to the date of calculation. A week provides CCPs with sufficient time in order to perform all the internal controls and complete the necessary approval process before reporting the required data. If a CCP develops a fully automated system the reporting date can be close to the calculation date. Currently, however, CCPs might not have the capability to complete the entire process within this time and might therefore need to develop their internal processes and infrastructures in order to be able to do so. Against this background, a transitional provision should be introduced to give CCPs sufficient time to develop the necessary internal processes and infrastructures and, at the same time, to start reporting the information related to the hypothetical capital to their clearing members.
(3)
Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 the losses following the default of a clearing member would, in the first instance, be covered by the initial margin and by the default fund contribution of the defaulting member itself. Where those prove to be insufficient, the losses are covered by the pre-funded financial resources that are contributed by CCPs to their respective default waterfalls and by the pre-funded default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members. During this period, the frequency of reporting should be increased in order to keep the other non-defaulting clearing members and the competent authorities updated on all the information related to the hypothetical capital needed to calculate the clearing members' own fund requirements. CCPs should have the technical capabilities and the internal processes in place in order to compute and deliver the information related to the hypothetical capital under those stress situations.
(4)
Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, a CCP has to replenish its pre-funded own financial resources in the default waterfall within one month. For this reason, the frequencies of calculation and reporting in these situations should be higher than the norm. Daily reporting of the information related to hypothetical capital could be less meaningful because it might take time to establish the total size of the losses following the clearing member's default. Given that they may face a broad range of different scenarios, competent authorities should also have the option to request a higher frequency in periods of stress based on an assessment of the situation that should take into account the degree of actual or foreseen depletion of the pre-funded financial resources available to the CCP (both those contributed by the CCP itself and those contributed by clearing members). The higher frequency should apply until those resources are restored to levels required by the relevant legislation.
(5)
The high frequency of reporting in periods of stress can be very demanding given the newly introduced reporting requirement. This may pose challenges as regards the technical implementation for at least some CCPs. To mitigate this, it is appropriate to have a later date of application for the requirements of higher frequency of reporting. That will allow CCPs to improve their internal processes and upgrade their systems.
(6)
The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they deal with the calculation and reporting of the hypothetical capital of a CCP. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by persons subject to those obligations, it is desirable to include all the relevant implementing technical standards required by Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 in a single Regulation.
(7)
This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority to the Commission.
(8)
The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Frequency and dates of the calculation required by Article 50a(3) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012
1. The frequency of the calculation specified in Article 50a(3) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall be monthly except where the discretion provided for in Article 3(1) of this Regulation is exercised, in which case the frequency shall be either weekly or daily.
2. Where the frequency of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 is monthly, the CCP shall apply both of the following:
(a)
the reference days for that calculation shall be as follows:
January 31, February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year), March 31, April 30, May 31, June 30, July 31, August 31, September 30, October 31, November 30, December 31;
(b)
the day on which the CCP shall undertake that calculation (day of calculation) shall be respectively:
February 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, June 1, July 1, August 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, December 1, January 1.
3. Where the frequency referred to in paragraph 1 is weekly or daily, the day of the first calculation shall fall on the day following the day of the request of the competent authority. The first reference day shall be the day of the request of the competent authority. For the subsequent calculations the reference day shall be the day before the day of calculation. In case of weekly calculation, the time span between the days of calculation shall be 5 working days.
4. Where the day of calculation is a public holiday, Saturday or Sunday, the calculation shall be carried out on the following working day.
Article 2
Frequency, dates and uniform format of the reporting required by Articles 50c(2) and 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012
1. The frequency of the reporting required by Article 50c(2) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 and, where applicable, by the third subparagraph of Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall be monthly, except where the discretion provided for in Article 3(1) of this Regulation is exercised, in which case the frequency shall be either weekly or daily.
2. Where the frequency of the reporting in accordance with paragraph 1 is monthly, the reporting date shall fall within five working days from the day of calculation set in Article 1, or earlier where possible.
3. Where the frequency of the reporting referred to in paragraph 1 is daily or weekly, the reporting date shall be the day following the day of calculation.
4. Where the reporting date is a public holiday, Saturday or Sunday, the reporting date shall be the following working day.
5. CCPs shall report the information referred to in paragraph 1 using the template set out in Annex I (Information related to hypothetical capital) completed in accordance with the instructions set out in Annex II (Instructions for reporting of information related to hypothetical capital).
Article 3
Conditions for higher frequencies of calculation and reporting in accordance with Article 50a(3) and Article 50c(2) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012
1. Competent authorities of an institution acting as a clearing member may require any CCP in which that institution acts as a clearing member to undertake the calculation referred to in Article 1(1) and the reporting referred to in Article 2(1) with either a daily or a weekly frequency in either of the following situations:
(a)
where, following the default of one clearing member, a CCP is obliged to use any portion of the pre-funded financial resources that it contributed to the default waterfall in accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012;
(b)
where, following the default of one clearing member a CCP is obliged to make use of the default fund contributions of non-defaulting clearing members in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
2. Competent authorities shall base the choice between daily and weekly frequency as provided for in paragraph 1 on the degree of actual or foreseen depletion of the pre-funded financial resources.
3. Where competent authorities require a higher frequency of calculation and reporting from a CCP in accordance with point (a) of paragraph 1, the higher frequency shall apply until the pre-funded financial resources that were contributed by the CCP to the default waterfall are restored at the levels set in Article 35 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 153/2013 (4).
4. Where competent authorities require a higher frequency of calculation and reporting from a CCP in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 1, the higher frequency shall apply until the default fund contributions of the non-defaulting members of the CCP are restored to the levels set out in Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.
Article 4
Transitional provision
By way of derogation from Article 2(2), during the period from the date of application of this Regulation until 31 December 2014, CCPs shall report the information referred to in that paragraph at the latest by fifteen working days after the reference day, or earlier where possible.
Article 5
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the uniform formats and date for the disclosure of the values used to identify global systemically important institutions according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 441(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In order to help ensure global consistency in disclosure and transparency in the process of identification of global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs), those institutions are required to publicly disclose indicator values used in that process.
(2)
The disclosure templates used by institutions identified as G-SIIs in accordance with Article 131 of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) should take into account international standards, particularly those issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
(3)
In order to ensure consistency and comparability of the collected information, the reporting reference date should be set to coincide with an institution's financial year-end figures of the previous year or any other date agreed with its relevant authority.
(4)
With a view to facilitating public access to the disclosed information, and seeing that data from all Member States are needed to perform the identification process, the European Banking Authority (EBA) should collect each institution's information and publish it on its website.
(5)
This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the EBA to the Commission.
(6)
The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Uniform format
G-SIIs shall fill out the template set out in the Annex to this Regulation in electronic format as published on the website of the European Banking Authority (EBA). By using that template, G-SIIs shall publicly disclose the values of the indicators used for determining the score of the institutions in accordance with the identification methodology referred to in Article 131 of Directive 2013/36/EU.
G-SIIs shall not be bound to disclose publicly the ancillary data and ancillary indicators.
Article 2
Date of disclosure
G-SIIs shall publicly disclose the financial year-end information referred to in Article 1 no later than four months after each financial year-end.
Relevant authorities may allow institutions whose financial year-end is 30 June to report indicator values based on their position at 31 December. In any case, the information shall be disclosed no later than 31 July.
Article 3
Disclosure location
Institutions may publicly disclose the values of the indicators specified in the template set out in the Annex to this Regulation in the medium they determine to disclose the information required by Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in accordance with Article 434 of that Regulation.
Where the disclosures of the values of the indicators are not included in the medium referred to in the first paragraph, the G-SII shall provide a direct reference to the completed disclosures on the institution's website or to the medium in which they are made available.
Without undue delay, following the disclosure of that information by the G-SIIs, relevant authorities shall send those completed templates to EBA for centralisation purposes on its website.
Article 4
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 IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 12 March 2014
concerning certain protective measures relating to African swine fever in Poland
(notified under document C(2014) 1657)
(Only the Polish text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/134/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2)
In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3)
Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.
(4)
Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.
(5)
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.
(6)
Accordingly, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(7)
Commission Implementing Decision 2014/100/EU (4) should be confirmed following consultation of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Poland shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 30 April 2014.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 17 February 2014
authorising Member States to sign, ratify or accede to the Cape Town Agreement of 2012 on the Implementation of the Provisions of the Torremolinos Protocol of 1993 relating to the Torremolinos International Convention for the Safety of Fishing Vessels, 1977
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/195/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 100(2) thereof, in conjunction with Article 218(5), Article 218(6)(a)(v) and the first subparagraph of Article 218(8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1)
It is necessary that action by the Union in the sector of maritime transport aim to improve maritime safety.
(2)
The Torremolinos Protocol relating to the Torremolinos International Convention for the Safety of Fishing Vessels, 1977 (the ‘Torremolinos Protocol’) was adopted on 2 April 1993.
(3)
Council Directive 97/70/EC (1) lays down safety standards, based on the Torremolinos Protocol, for fishing vessels of 24 metres in length and over while taking, as far as necessary, full account of regional and local circumstances.
(4)
The Torremolinos Protocol has not entered into force because the necessary minimum requirements in terms of ratification have not been achieved.
(5)
In order to establish, by common accord and under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the highest practicable standards for the safety of fishing vessels that can be implemented by all the States concerned, the Cape Town Agreement of 2012 on the Implementation of the Provisions of the Torremolinos Protocol of 1993 relating to the Torremolinos International Convention for the Safety of Fishing Vessels, 1977 (‘the Agreement’) was adopted on 11 October 2012. The Agreement is open for signature from 11 February 2013 to 10 February 2014, and thereafter remains open for accession.
(6)
The provisions of the Agreement fall under the exclusive competence of the Union concerning the safety regime of fishing vessels of 24 metres in length and over.
(7)
The Union cannot become a party to the Agreement, as only states can be parties thereto.
(8)
It is in the interests of maritime safety and fair competition that the Agreement be ratified or acceded to by Member States having fishing vessels flying their flag which fall within the scope of application of the Agreement, and which operate in their internal waters or territorial sea, or which land catch in their port, to ensure the entry into force of the provisions of the Torremolinos Protocol. Furthermore, the entry into force of the Agreement will allow the subsequent updating, through submissions to the IMO, of a number of provisions in the Torremolinos Protocol which have become obsolete following the adoption of Directive 97/70/EC.
(9)
In accordance with Article 2(1) of the Treaty, the Council should therefore authorise Member States having fishing vessels flying their flag which fall within the scope of application of the Agreement, and which operate in their internal waters or territorial sea, or which land catch in their port, to sign and ratify the Agreement or accede to it in the interests of the Union. However, in order to safeguard the current safety levels provided for in Directive 97/70/EC, Member States should, when signing the Agreement and depositing their instruments of ratification or accession, issue a declaration to the effect that the exemptions provided for in Regulations 1(6) and 3(3) of Chapter 1 of the Annex to the Agreement, in relation to annual surveys and a common fishing zone or exclusive economic zone respectively are not to apply. Furthermore, that declaration should state that third country fishing vessels of 24 meters in length and over operating in the territorial or internal waters of Member States, or landing catch at their ports, are subject to the safety standards laid down in Directive 97/70/EC and that the exemptions provided for in Regulation 3(3) of Chapter 1 of the Annex to the Agreement will not be accepted in relation to such third country fishing vessels,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States are hereby authorised to sign, sign and ratify, or accede to, as appropriate, the Cape Town Agreement of 2012 on the Implementation of the Provisions of the Torremolinos Protocol of 1993 relating to the Torremolinos International Convention for the Safety of Fishing Vessels, 1977.
Article 2
Member States shall endeavour to take the necessary steps to deposit their instruments of ratification of, or accession to, the Agreement with the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation within a reasonable time and, if possible, no later than two years from the date of entry into force of this Decision.
When a Member State signs, ratifies or accedes to the Agreement, it shall also deposit the Declaration set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Under that regional arrangement, the exemptions provided for in Regulation 1(6) of Chapter I of the Annex to the Cape Town Agreement in relation to annual surveys and in Regulation 3(3) of Chapter I of the Annex thereto concerning a common fishing zone or exclusive economic zone shall not apply to the fishing vessels of the Member State, and to third country fishing vessels of 24 meters in length and over while operating in the depositing Member State's common fishing zone, exclusive economic zone, or landing catch at its ports. Exemptions issued under Regulation 3(3) of Chapter I of the Annex to the Cape Town Agreement, concerning a common fishing zone or an exclusive economic zone, to fishing vessels falling within the scope of application of Regulation 1 of Chapter I of the Annex to the Cape Town Agreement, shall not be accepted.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 11 February 2014

DECLARATION
concerning the competence of the European Union with regard to matters governed by the Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime
Article 17(3) of the Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition provides that the instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval of a regional economic integration organisation is to contain a declaration specifying the matters governed by the Protocol in respect of which competence has been transferred to the organisation by its Member States which are Parties to the Protocol.
The European Union has exclusive competence over commercial policy. It also has shared competence over rules for the achievement of the internal market, and exclusive competence as regards provisions of the Protocol which may affect or alter the scope of common rules adopted by the Union. The Union has adopted rules as regards in particular the fight against illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, regulating standards and procedures on commercial policy of the Member States concerning in particular record keeping, marking of firearms, deactivation of firearms, requirements for exports, import and transit licensing authorisation systems, strengthening of controls at export points and brokering activities.
The Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition shall apply, with regard to the competences transferred to the Union, to the territories in which the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union is applied and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
The scope and the exercise of such Union competence are, by their nature, subject to continuous development, and the Union will complete or amend this declaration, if necessary, in accordance with Article 17(3) of the Protocol.

as regards a Union financial contribution towards a coordinated control plan with a view to establishing the prevalence of fraudulent practices in the marketing of certain foods
(notified under document C(2014) 1912)
(2014/176/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular, Article 66 thereof,

(1)
Commission Recommendation 2014/180/EU (2) provides for a second round of coordinated controls to be carried out by the Member States with a view to establishing the continued occurrence of fraudulent practices in the marketing of certain foods.
(2)
In order to facilitate the smooth and fast implementation of this plan, the Union should financially support the Member States which perform the official controls provided for in the Commission Recommendation.
(3)
Based on calculations following the first round of testing, the cost for carrying out DNA tests to determine the presence of horse meat in foods marketed and/or labelled as containing beef is estimated at EUR 120 per test.

The Centre Wallon de Recherches agronomiques (CRA-W), Gembloux, Belgium has currently EURL status for tests that are most relevant for this coordinated control plan. For the purpose of harmonising the test method during this coordinated control plan, the Commission requested the assistance of this centre. This task is an additional task, not included in the existing work programme this centre performs as an EURL. The cost of this additional task is estimated at maximum EUR 20 000 and should be compensated by the Commission at a rate of 100 %.
(5)
In accordance with Article 84 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (the Financial Regulation) and Article 94 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (4), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision setting out the essential elements of the action involving expenditure from the budget and adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated by the institution. Eligibility criteria should be established.
(6)
The financial contribution from the Union should be granted subject to the condition that the tests and analyses have been carried out and that the competent authorities supply all the necessary information within the time limits laid down in this Decision. For reasons of administrative efficiency, all expenditure submitted for a financial contribution by the Union should be expressed in euro.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/75/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for mercury in cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) for back-lighting liquid crystal displays, not exceeding 5 mg per lamp, used in industrial monitoring and control instruments placed on the market before 22 July 2017
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, (1) and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of mercury in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2)
Many industrial monitoring and control instruments (IMCIs) are equipped with back-lighting liquid crystal displays that require the use of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) with 5 mg mercury. The total negative environmental, health and consumer safety impacts caused by substitution of mercury containing CCFLs in industrial monitoring and control instruments are likely to outweigh the total environmental, health and consumer safety benefits thereof.
(3)
To enable the repair and prolong the service life of products, an exemption from the restriction of mercury in CCFLs for back-lighting liquid crystal displays in IMCIs should be granted. In accordance with the repair-as-produced principle, the exemption should apply to all products placed on the market before 22 July 2017, which is the compliance date for IMCIs, and the validity period of the exemption should be 7 years from that date. It is unlikely that the exemption will have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4)
Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 666/2014
of 12 March 2014
establishing substantive requirements for a Union inventory system and taking into account changes in the global warming potentials and internationally agreed inventory guidelines pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change and repealing Decision No 280/2004/EC (1), and in particular Article 6(2) and Article 7(6)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions is necessary to enable the assessment of the actual progress towards meeting the Union's and the Member States' commitments relating to the limitation or reduction of all greenhouse gas emissions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) approved by Council Decision 94/69/EC (2), its Kyoto Protocol approved by Council Decision 2002/358/EC (3) and the set of Union legal acts, adopted in 2009, collectively referred to as the ‘Climate and Energy Package’.
(2)
Decision 19/CMP.1 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol lays down the guidelines for national systems the Parties should apply. The rules on the Union inventory system should therefore be specified in order to fulfil the obligations pursuant to that Decision, ensuring the timeliness, transparency, accuracy, consistency, comparability and completeness of reporting of greenhouse gas emissions to the UNFCCC Secretariat.
(3)
To ensure the quality of the Union inventory system, it is necessary to establish further rules on the Union greenhouse gas inventory quality assurance and quality control programme.
(4)
In order to ensure completeness of the Union's inventory in accordance with the guidelines for preparing the national greenhouse gas inventories it is necessary to provide for the methodologies and the data to be used by the Commission when, in consultation and close cooperation with the Member State concerned, preparing estimates for data missing from a Member State inventory pursuant to Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013.
(5)
In order to ensure the timely and effective implementation of Union's obligations under the Kyoto Protocol of the UNFCCC it is necessary to set the timescales for cooperation and coordination during the annual reporting process and the UNFCCC review between Member States and the Union.
(6)
Account should be taken of changes in the global warming potential values and internationally agreed guidelines for national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks in accordance with relevant decisions adopted by the bodies of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol.
(7)
In order to ensure consistency with the implementation of monitoring and reporting requirements under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2015,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject matter
1. The Union greenhouse gas inventory is the sum of Member States' greenhouse gas emissions from sources and removals by sinks for the territory of the European Union in accordance with Article 52 of the Treaty on European Union and is established on the basis of the Member States' greenhouse gas inventories, as reported pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013, for the complete time series of inventory years.
2. This Regulation lays down rules on the requirements for a Union inventory system, further specifying rules on the preparation and administration of the Union greenhouse gas inventory including rules on cooperation with the Member States during the annual reporting process and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) inventory review.
3. This Regulation also lays down rules with regard to the global warming potential values and the internationally agreed inventory guidelines to be used by the Member States and the Commission in the determination and reporting of the greenhouse gas inventory.
Article 2
Union greenhouse gas inventory
1. In preparing and administering the Union greenhouse gas inventory, the Commission shall strive to ensure:
(a)
the completeness of the Union greenhouse gas inventory by applying the procedure set out in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013;
(b)
that the Union greenhouse gas inventory provides a transparent aggregation of Member States' greenhouse gas emissions and removals by sinks and reflects in a transparent manner the contribution of Member States' emissions and removals by sinks to the Union greenhouse gas inventory;
(c)
that the total of the Union's greenhouse gas emissions and removals by sinks for a reporting year is equal to the sum of Member States' greenhouse gas emissions and removals by sinks reported pursuant to paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 for that same year;
(d)
that the Union greenhouse gas inventory includes a consistent time series of emissions and removals by sinks for all reported years.
2. The Commission and the Member States shall strive to increase the comparability of Member States' greenhouse gas inventories.
Article 3
Union greenhouse gas inventory quality assurance and quality control programme
1. The Union quality assurance and quality control programme referred to in Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 shall complement the quality assurance and quality control programmes implemented by the Member States.
2. Member States shall ensure the quality of activity data, emission factors and other parameters used for their national greenhouse gas inventory including by applying Articles 6 and 7.
3. Member States shall provide to the Commission and to the European Environment Agency all relevant information from their archives set up and managed in accordance with paragraph 16(a) of Annex to Decision 19/CMP.1 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, if required during the UNFCCC review of the Union greenhouse gas inventory.
Article 4
Gap filling
1. The Commission estimates for data missing from a Member State's greenhouse gas inventory as referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 shall be based on the following methodologies and data:
(a)
where a Member State has submitted in the previous reporting year a consistent time series of estimates for the relevant source category that has not been subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol and any of the following occurs:
(i)
that Member State has submitted an approximated greenhouse gas inventory for the year X – 1 pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 that includes the missing estimate, on the data from that approximated greenhouse gas inventory;
(ii)
that Member State has not submitted an approximated greenhouse gas inventory for the year X – 1 under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013, but the Union has estimated approximated greenhouse gas emissions for the year X – 1 for the Member States in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013, on the data from that Union approximated greenhouse gas inventory;
(iii)
the use of the data from the approximated greenhouse gas inventory is not possible or may lead to a highly inaccurate estimation, for missing estimates in the energy sector, on the data obtained in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4);
(iv)
the use of the data from the approximated greenhouse gas inventory is not possible or may lead to a highly inaccurate estimation, for missing estimates in non-energy sectors, on estimation based on the technical guidance on methodologies for adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol without application of the conservativeness factor defined in that guidance.
(b)
where an estimate for the relevant source category was subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol in previous years and the Member State concerned has not submitted a revised estimate, on the basic adjustment method used by the expert review team as set out in the technical guidance on methodologies for adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol without application of the conservativeness factor defined in that guidance;
(c)
where an estimate for the relevant category was subject to technical corrections under point (c) of Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 in previous years and the Member State concerned has not submitted a revised estimate, on the method used by the technical expert review team to calculate the technical correction;
(d)
where a consistent time series of reported estimates for the relevant source category is not available and the estimate of the source category has not been subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol, on the technical guidance for adjustments, without application of the conservativeness factor defined in that guidance.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 527/2014
of 12 March 2014
supplementing Directive (EU) No 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the classes of instruments that adequately reflect the credit quality of an institution as a going concern and are appropriate to be used for the purposes of variable remuneration
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive (EU) No 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (1), and in particular Article 94(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Variable remuneration awarded in instruments should promote sound and effective risk management and should not encourage risk-taking that exceeds the level of tolerated risk of the institution. Therefore classes of instruments which can be used for the purposes of variable remuneration should align the interests of staff with the interests of shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders by providing incentives for staff to act in the long-term interest of the institution and not to take excessive risks.
(2)
In order to ensure that there is a strong link to the credit quality of an institution as a going concern, instruments used for the purposes of variable remuneration should contain appropriate trigger events for write down or conversion which reduce the value of the instruments in situations where the credit quality of the institution as a going concern has deteriorated. The trigger events used for remuneration purposes should not change the level of subordination of the instruments and therefore should not lead to a disqualification of Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 instruments as own funds instruments.
(3)
While the conditions which apply to Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments are specified in Articles 52 and 63 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the other instruments referred to in point (l)(ii) of Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU which can be fully converted to Common Equity Tier 1 instruments or written down are not subject to specific conditions pursuant to that Regulation as they are not classified as own funds instruments for prudential purposes. Specific requirements should therefore be set for different classes of instruments to ensure that they are appropriate to be used for the purposes of variable remuneration, taking account of the different nature of the instruments. The use of instruments for the purposes of variable remuneration should not in itself prevent instruments from qualifying as own funds of an institution as long as the conditions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 are met. Nor should such use in itself be understood as providing an incentive to redeem the instrument, as after deferral and retention periods staff members are, in general, able to receive liquid funds by other means than redemption.
(4)
Other Instruments comprise non-cash debt instruments or debt-linked instruments that do not qualify as own funds. Other Instruments are not limited to financial instruments as defined in point 50 of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, but can also include further non-cash instruments, which could be included in agreements between the institution and staff members. To ensure that these instruments reflect the credit quality of an institution as a going concern, appropriate requirements should ensure that the circumstances in which such instruments are written down or converted extend beyond recovery or resolution situations.
(5)
When instruments used for the purposes of variable remuneration are called, redeemed, repurchased or converted, in general such transactions should not increase the value of the remuneration awarded by paying out amounts that are higher than the value of the instrument or by converting into instruments which have a higher value than the instrument initially awarded. This is to ensure that remuneration is not paid through vehicles or methods that facilitate non-compliance with Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU.
(6)
When awarding variable remuneration and when instruments used for variable remuneration are redeemed, called, repurchased or converted, those transactions should be based on values that have been established in accordance with the applicable accounting standard. A valuation of the instruments should therefore be required in all these situations in order to ensure that the requirements of Directive 2013/36/EU regarding remuneration are not circumvented, in particular as regards the ratio between variable and fixed components of remuneration and the alignment with risk taking.
(7)
Article 54 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 sets out the write-down and conversion mechanisms for Additional Tier 1 instruments. Additionally, point (l)(ii) of Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU requires that Other Instruments can be fully converted into Common Equity Tier 1 instruments or written down. As the economic outcome of a conversion or write-down of Other Instruments is the same as for Additional Tier 1 instruments, write-down or conversion mechanisms for Other Instruments should take into account the mechanisms that apply to Additional Tier 1 instruments, with adaptations to take account of the fact that Other Instruments do not qualify as own fund instruments from a prudential perspective. Tier 2 instruments are not subject to regulatory requirements regarding write-down and conversion under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. To ensure that the value of all such instruments, when used for variable remuneration, is reduced when the credit quality of the institution deteriorates, the situations in which a write-down or conversion of the instrument is necessary should be specified. The write down, write up and conversion mechanisms for Tier 2 and Other Instruments should be specified to ensure consistent application.
(8)
Distributions arising from instruments can take various forms. They can be variable or fixed and can be paid periodically or at the final maturity of an instrument. In line with guidelines on remuneration policies and practices issued by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (3), in order to promote sound and effective risk management no distributions should be paid to staff during deferral periods. Staff members should only receive distributions in respect of periods which follow the vesting of the instrument. Therefore only instruments with distributions which are paid periodically to the owner of the instrument are appropriate for use as variable remuneration; zero coupon bonds or instruments which retain earnings should not count towards the substantial portion of remuneration which must consist of a balance of the instruments referred to in point (l) of Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU. This is because staff would benefit during the deferral period from increasing values, which can be understood as equivalent to receiving distributions.
(9)
Very high distributions can reduce the long-term incentive for prudent risk-taking as they effectively increase the variable part of the remuneration. In particular distributions should not be paid out at intervals of longer than one year, as this would lead to distributions effectively accumulating during deferral periods and being paid out once the variable remuneration vests. Accumulation of distributions would circumvent point (g) of Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU regarding the ratio between variable and fixed components of remuneration and the principle in point (m) of that Article that remuneration payable under deferral arrangements vests no faster than on a pro rata basis. Therefore distributions made after the instrument has vested should not exceed market rates. This should be ensured by requiring instruments used for variable remuneration, or the instruments to which they are linked, to be issued mainly to other investors, or by requiring such instruments to be subject to a cap on distributions.
(10)
Deferral and retention requirements which apply to awards of variable remuneration pursuant to Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU have to be met at all relevant times, including when instruments used for variable remuneration are called, redeemed, repurchased or converted. In such situations instruments should therefore be exchanged with Additional Tier 1, Tier 2 and Other Instruments which reflect the credit quality of the institution as a going concern, have features equivalent to those of the instrument initially awarded, and are of the same value, taking into account any amounts which have been written down. Where instruments other than Additional Tier 1 instruments have a fixed maturity date minimum requirements should be set for the remaining maturity of such instruments when they are awarded in order to ensure that they are consistent with requirements regarding the deferral and retention periods for variable remuneration.
(11)
Directive 2013/36/EU does not limit the classes of instruments that can be used for variable remuneration to a specific class of financial instruments. It should be possible to use synthetic instruments or contracts between staff members and institutions which are linked to Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments which can be fully converted or written down. This allows for the introduction of specific conditions in the terms of such instruments which apply only to instruments awarded to staff, without the need to impose such conditions on other investors.
(12)
In a group context issuances may be managed centrally within a parent undertaking. Institutions within such a group may not, therefore, always issue instruments which are appropriate to be used for the purpose of variable remuneration. Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 enables Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments issued through an entity within the scope of consolidation to form part of an institution's own funds subject to certain conditions. Therefore it should also be possible to use such instruments for the purpose of variable remuneration, provided that there is a clear link between the credit quality of the institution using these instruments for the purpose of variable remuneration and the credit quality of the issuer of the instrument. Such a link can usually be assumed to be the case between a parent undertaking and a subsidiary. Instruments other than Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments which are not issued directly by an institution should also be capable of being used for variable remuneration, subject to equivalent conditions. Instruments which are linked to reference instruments issued by parent undertakings in third countries and which are equivalent to Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 instruments should be eligible to be used for the purposes of variable remuneration if the trigger event refers to the institution using such a synthetic instrument.
(13)
This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the European Commission.
(14)
EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Classes of instruments that adequately reflect the credit quality of an institution as a going concern and are appropriate to be used for the purposes of variable remuneration
1. The following shall be the classes of instruments that satisfy the conditions laid down in point (l)(ii) of Article 94(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU:
(a)
classes of Additional Tier 1 instruments where those classes fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 and Article 2, and comply with Article 5(9) and point (c) of Article 5(13);
(b)
classes of Tier 2 instruments where those classes fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 and Article 3, and comply with Article 5;
(c)
classes of instruments which can be fully converted to Common Equity Tier 1 instruments or written down and which are neither Additional Tier 1 instruments nor Tier 2 instruments (‘Other Instruments’) in the cases referred to in Article 4 where those classes fulfil the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 and comply with Article 5.
2. The classes of instruments referred to in paragraph 1 shall fulfil the following conditions:
(a)
instruments shall not be secured or subject to a guarantee that enhances the seniority of the claims of the holder;
(b)
where the provisions governing an instrument allow its conversion, that instrument shall only be used for the purposes of awarding variable remuneration where the rate or range of conversion is set at a level that ensures that the value of the instrument into which the instrument initially awarded is converted is not higher than the value of the instrument initially awarded at the time it was awarded as variable remuneration;
(c)
the provisions governing convertible instruments which are used for the sole purpose of variable remuneration shall ensure that the value of the instrument into which the instrument initially awarded is converted is not higher than the value, at the time of that conversion, of the instrument initially awarded;
(d)
the provisions governing the instrument shall provide that any distributions are paid on at least an annual basis and are paid to the holder of the instrument;
(e)
instruments shall be priced at their value at the time the instrument is awarded, in accordance with the applicable accounting standard. The valuation shall take into account the credit quality of the institution and shall be subject to independent review;
(f)
the provisions governing the instruments issued for the sole purpose of variable remuneration shall require a valuation to be carried out in accordance with the applicable accounting standard in the event that the instrument is redeemed, called, repurchased or converted.
Article 2
Conditions for classes of Additional Tier 1 instruments
Classes of Additional Tier 1 instruments shall comply with the following conditions:
(a)
the provisions governing the instrument shall specify a trigger event for the purpose of point (n) of Article 52(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013;
(b)
the trigger event referred to in point (a) occurs when the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of the institution issuing the instrument, referred to in point (a) of Article 92(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, falls below either of the following:
(i)
7 %;
(ii)
a level higher than 7 %, where determined by the institution and specified in the provisions governing the instrument;
(c)
one of the following requirements is met:
(i)
the instruments are issued for the sole purpose of being awarded as variable remuneration and the provisions governing the instrument ensure that any distributions are paid at a rate which is consistent with market rates for similar instruments issued by the institution or by institutions of comparable nature, scale, complexity and credit quality and which in any case is, at the time the remuneration is awarded, no higher than 8 percentage points above the annual average rate of change for the Union published by the Commission (Eurostat) in its Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices published pursuant to Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 (5). Where the instruments are awarded to staff members who perform the predominant part of their professional activities outside the Union and the instruments are denominated in a currency issued by a third country, institutions may use a similar independently-calculated index of consumer prices produced in respect of that third country;
(ii)
at the time of the award of the instruments as variable remuneration, at least 60 % of the instruments in issuance were issued other than as an award of variable remuneration and are not held by the following or by any undertaking that has close links with the following:

The provisions governing Additional Tier 1 instruments shall comply with the procedures laid down in paragraph 9 and point (c) of paragraph 13 in respect of amounts to be written down, written up or converted.
2. Where the provisions governing Tier 2 and Other Instruments require the instruments to be converted into Common Equity Tier 1 instruments upon the occurrence of a trigger event, those provisions shall specify either of the following:
(a)
the rate of that conversion and a limit on the permitted amount of conversion;
(b)
a range within which the instruments will convert into Common Equity Tier 1 instruments.

4. Any distributions payable after a write-down shall be based on the reduced amount of the principal.
5. Write-down or conversion of the instruments shall, under the applicable accounting framework, generate items that qualify as Common Equity Tier 1 items.
6. Where the institution has established that the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio has fallen below the level that activates conversion or write-down of the instrument the management body or any other relevant body of the institution shall be required to determine without delay that a trigger event has occurred and there shall be an irrevocable obligation to write-down or convert the instrument.
7. The aggregate amount of instruments that is required to be written down or converted upon the occurrence of a trigger event shall be no less than the lower of the following:

(a)
inform the staff members who have been awarded the instruments as variable remuneration and the persons who continue to hold such instruments;
(b)
write down the principal amount of the instruments, or convert the instruments into Common Equity Tier 1 instruments as soon as possible and within a maximum period of one month in accordance with the requirements laid down in this Article.
9. Where Additional Tier 1 instruments, Tier 2 instruments and Other Instruments include an identical trigger level, the principal amount shall be written down or converted on a pro rata basis to all holders of such instruments which are used for the purposes of variable remuneration.
10. The amount of the instrument to be written down or converted shall be subject to independent review. That review shall be completed as soon as possible and shall not create impediments for the institution to write-down or convert the instrument.
11. An institution issuing instruments that convert to Common Equity Tier 1 on the occurrence of a trigger event shall be required to ensure that its authorised share capital is at all times sufficient to convert all such convertible instruments into shares if a trigger event occurs. The institution shall be required to maintain at all times the necessary prior authorisation to issue the Common Equity Tier 1 instruments into which such instruments would convert upon the occurrence of a trigger event.
12. An institution issuing instruments that convert to Common Equity Tier 1 on the occurrence of a trigger event shall be required to ensure that there are no procedural impediments to that conversion by virtue of its incorporation or statutes or contractual arrangements.
13. In order for the write-down of an instrument to be considered temporary, all of the following conditions shall be met:
(a)

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1091/2014
of 16 October 2014
approving tralopyril as a new active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 90(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The United Kingdom has received on 17 July 2007 an application, in accordance with Article 11(1) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), for the inclusion of the active substance tralopyril in its Annex I for use in product-type 21, antifouling products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(2)
Tralopyril was not on the market on 14 May 2000 as an active substance of a biocidal product.
(3)
The United Kingdom submitted the assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 1 September 2009 in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(4)
The opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 8 April 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.
(5)
It appears from that opinion that biocidal products used for product-type 21 and containing tralopyril may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC provided that certain specifications and conditions relating to its use are satisfied.
(6)
It is therefore appropriate to approve tralopyril for use in biocidal products for product-type 21 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.
(7)
Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8)
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements laid down.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Tralopyril shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
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.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 6 January 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 640/2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for electric motors
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

COUNCIL DECISION 2014/162/EU
of 11 March 2014
amending Decision 2004/162/EC with regard to its implementation in Mayotte from 1 January 2014
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Decision 2004/162/EC (2) authorises the French authorities to apply exemptions or reductions to dock dues in respect of products produced locally in the French outermost regions and listed in the Annex to that Decision. Those exemptions or reductions constitute specific measures designed to offset the specific constraints faced by the outermost regions which increase production costs for local companies and make it difficult for their products to compete with the same products imported from metropolitan France and other Member States. Mayotte’s situation is the same as that of the other French outermost regions.
(2)
In accordance with European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (3), with effect from 1 January 2014 Mayotte became an outermost region within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Union law should therefore be applicable to Mayotte from that date.
(3)
The French authorities have requested that Decision 2004/162/EC be applicable to Mayotte with effect from 1 January 2014, and have submitted a list of the products to which they wish to apply differentiated taxation, on the basis of whether the products are produced locally or not.
(4)
This Decision should authorise the French authorities to apply differentiated taxation to the products for which they have proven: firstly, that local production exists; secondly, that a significant importation of goods (including from metropolitan France and other Member States) could jeopardise the continuation of local production; and thirdly, that additional costs exist which increase the cost price of local production in comparison to products produced elsewhere, compromising the competitiveness of products produced locally. The authorised tax differential should not exceed the proven additional costs. Applying those principles and taking into account the specific structural social and economic situation of Mayotte as a new outermost region, which is compounded by exactly the same special constraints which justified the derogation in Decision 2004/162/EC for the other French outermost regions in accordance with Article 349 TFEU, the proposed specific measures for Mayotte are justified, without going beyond what is necessary and without creating an unjustified advantage for local production in this new outermost region.
(5)
The products in respect of which the French authorities have provided those three types of proof are listed in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to Decision 2004/162/EC. The products concerned listed in Part A of that Annex (authorised tax differential of 10 percentage points) are pepper (products 0904 11 and 0904 12 (4)), vanilla (0905), chocolate (1806), certain plastic products (3925 10 10, 3925 90 80, 3926 90 90 and 3926 90 97), bricks (6901 and 6902) and dental prostheses (9021 21 90).
(6)
The products concerned listed in Part B of the Annex to Decision 2004/162/EC (authorised tax differential of 20 percentage points) are fish (products 0301, 0302, 0303, 0304 and 0305), certain wood articles (4407, 4409, 4414, 4418, 4419, 4420 and 4421), certain paperboard and paper articles (4819 and 4821), certain products from the press and publishing sector (4902, 4909, 4910 and 4911), certain flat glass products (7003 and 7005), certain iron articles (7210, 7301, 7312, 7314, 9406 00 31 and 9406 00 38), certain aluminium articles (7606, 7610 10 and 8310) and certain seats (9401 69, 9401 90 30 and 9403 40).
(7)
The products concerned listed in Part C of the Annex to Decision 2004/162/EC (authorised tax differential of 30 percentage points) are milk and dairy products (0401, 0403 and 0406), certain meat-based processed products (1601 and 1602), certain bakery products (1901 and 1905), ice-creams (2105), mineral water and sodas (2201 and 2202), beer (2203), ylang-ylang (3301 29 11 and 3301 29 31), soaps and detergents (3401 and 3402) and foam mattresses (9404 29 90).
(8)
Decision 2004/162/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9)
In light of the urgent need for Mayotte to be able, as a new outermost region, to benefit from the derogations introduced by this Decision as early as possible, an exception should be made to the eight-week period laid down by Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on the European Union and the TFEU.
(10)
Since Mayotte became an outermost region on 1 January 2014, and in order to avoid any legal uncertainty, it is necessary that this Decision applies from 1 January 2014,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2004/162/EC is amended as follows:
(1)
the first subparagraph of Article 1(1) is replaced by the following:
‘By way of derogation from Articles 28, 30 and 110 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the French authorities shall be authorised, until 1 July 2014, to apply exemptions or reductions to the dock dues tax in respect of the products listed in the Annex which are produced locally in Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion as outermost regions within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU.’;
(2)
the Annex is amended as follows:
(a)
the following point is added to Part A:
‘5.
- Mayotte as outermost region
0904 11, 0904 12, 0905, 1806, 3925 10 00, 3925 90 80, 3926 90 90, 3926 90 97, 6901, 6902, 9021 21 90.’;

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 563/2014
of 23 May 2014
approving the basic substance chitosan hydrochloride 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 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 19 December 2011 an application from CHIPRO for the approval of chitosan hydrochloride as basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3).
(2)
The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical report on the substance concerned on 24 May 2013 (2). The Commission presented the review report and this draft regulation on the approval of chitosan hydrochloride to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 20 March 2014.
(3)
The documentation provided by the applicant and the results of examinations carried out by the Authority (3) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) show that Chitosan hydrochloride fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water. Consequently, it is to be considered as a basic substance.
(4)
It has appeared from the examinations made that chitosan hydrochloride may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. 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 for the approval which are detailed in Annex I of this Regulation.
(5)
In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Approval of a basic substance
The substance chitosan hydrochloride as specified in Annex I is approved as basic substance subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Part C of Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1341/2014
of 15 December 2014
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)
It is in the interest of the Union to suspend totally the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on 135 products which are currently not listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 (1). Those products should, therefore, be inserted into that Annex.
(2)
It is no longer in the interest of the Union to maintain the suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on 52 of the products that are currently listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013. Those products should, therefore, be deleted from that Annex.
(3)
It is necessary to modify the product descriptions of 29 suspensions included in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 in order to take account of technical product developments, economic trends on the market or to carry out linguistic adaptations. Moreover, following upcoming changes in the Combined Nomenclature as of 1 January 2015, TARIC codes for 95 additional products should be amended. In addition, for one product, multiple classification is considered no longer necessary. The suspensions in respect of which modifications are necessary should be deleted from the list of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be reinserted into that list.
(4)
Tariff suspensions should be reviewed regularly with the possibility of deletion at the request of a party concerned. Where it is justified by the Union's interest, a tariff suspension is prolonged and a new review date is set.
(5)
For 184 products it is necessary, in the interest of the Union, to amend the date for their mandatory review in order to allow duty free imports beyond that date. Those products have been reviewed and have been given revised dates for their next mandatory review. Therefore, they should be deleted from the list of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be reinserted into that list.
(6)
It is necessary, in the interest of the Union, to shorten the period of mandatory review for four products. The suspensions relating to those products should therefore be deleted from the list of suspensions in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013, and the modified suspensions should be reinserted into that list. With a view to adequately ensuring the continuous applicability of the suspension (without any intermission), the suspension relating to products with TARIC codes ex 8501320050 and ex 8501330055 should apply from 1 January 2014.
(7)
In the interest of clarity, the modified entries should be marked with an asterisk.
(8)
In order to allow an appropriate statistical monitoring, Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should be completed with supplementary units for some of the new products for which suspensions are granted. For reasons of consistency, the supplementary units assigned to the products deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should also be deleted from Annex II to that Regulation.
(9)
Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10)
Since the amendments pursuant to this Regulation should take effect from 1 January 2015, this Regulation should apply from that date and enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 1387/2013 is amended as follows:
(1)
the table in Annex I is amended as follows:
(a)
between the title and the table, the following note is inserted:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 11 March 2014
setting the Union-wide performance targets for the air traffic management network and alert thresholds for the second reference period 2015-19
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/132/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 requires a performance scheme for air navigation services and network services to be set up. In particular, it requires the Commission to adopt Union-wide performance targets for the key performance areas of safety, the environment, capacity and cost efficiency. Additional rules regarding these targets have been set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013 (2).
(2)
The Union-wide performance targets for the second reference period, which covers the calendar years 2015 to 2019 inclusive, should now be set.
(3)
On 29 July 2010 the Commission designated a Performance Review Body, in accordance with Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 and Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 (3), to assist it in implementing the performance scheme, and in particular in setting Union-wide performance targets.
(4)
To facilitate the adoption of Union-wide performance targets for the second reference period, the Performance Review Body, supported by the Commission, consulted all the stakeholders listed in Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 on the approach to be used for setting the Union-wide performance targets, the processes by which to set them and the indicative ranges within which they should fall. This stakeholder consultation lasted from 25 January 2013 to 3 July 2013. The Sectoral Dialogue Committee set up under Commission Decision 98/500/EC (4) was involved and all European professional staff representative bodies of the civil aviation sector had the opportunity to provide their comments.
(5)
Taking account of the stakeholder consultations, the Performance Review Body proposed the Union-wide performance targets in a report presented to the Commission on 27 September 2013. The report set out the assumptions and the rationale underlying the proposed targets and the composition of the groups of air navigation service providers or functional airspace blocks having a similar operational and economic environment.
(6)
The Union-wide performance targets set out in this Decision comply with Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013. They have been prepared with the assistance of the Performance Review Body. Account has been taken of the stakeholder consultations and the input received from the Network Manager established by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 677/2011 (6), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and national supervisory authorities. The targets are based on the information available to the Commission and the Performance Review Body up to 17 December 2013.
(7)
The Union-wide performance targets are based on data for the Member States, Norway and Switzerland.
(8)
The Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of safety set out in this Decision have been prepared in collaboration with EASA. When adopting acceptable means of compliance and guidance material in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013, EASA is to further clarify the definitions of the categories of the Risk Analysis Tool (RAT) to ensure a harmonised application of the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety, in particular in respect to the definition for category C (ability to provide safe but degraded ATM services). EASA was also consulted on the Union-wide performance targets for the other key performance areas with a view to ensuring consistency with the overriding safety objectives.
(9)
The Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of environment are to be set against the baseline of the performance levels achieved in 2012, as calculated by the Performance Review Body, namely 3,17 % for the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory and 5,15 % for the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the last filed flight plan trajectory.
(10)
For each year in the reference period, the Union-wide performance target for the key performance area of capacity, measured as the average en route air traffic flow management (ATFM) delay, should match the Union-wide performance target for 2014, taking into account the traffic forecast for the second reference period.
(11)
The Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of cost-efficiency for each year of the reference period should be expressed in real terms using 2009 values (EUR2009) to allow, inter alia, for comparisons with the level of performance achieved in the previous reference period.
(12)
The expected improvement in cost-efficiency for the second reference period should be measured against determined costs for 2014 of EUR 6,242 million (7) in EUR2009. On the basis of the most recent traffic assumptions for 2014 (8), the baseline value for the determined unit cost should be EUR 58,09 in EUR2009. Thus, the cost-efficiency target should provide for a reduction in determined unit costs by 3,3 % per year over the second reference period. The baseline value of EUR 58,09 in EUR2009 is higher than the Union-wide performance target of EUR 53,92 in EUR2009 set for 2014, because the projected traffic volume for 2014 is lower than originally assumed in Commission Decision 2011/121/EU (9).
(13)
The traffic assumptions for the second reference period have been taken from the low case scenario of STATFOR’s most recent forecast, published on 30 September 2013, which indicates an average annual growth in traffic of 1,2 %. The long forecasting period until the end of 2019 involves a degree of uncertainty, however. Therefore, in the context of the report by the Commission to the Single Sky Committee referred to in Article 18(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013, the Commission should, by 2016, review these traffic assumptions in light of the most recent available forecast from STATFOR. On the basis of that review, the Commission may decide, if appropriate, to revise the Union-wide performance targets for the calendar years 2017 to 2019 in accordance with point (a) of Article 17(1) of that Regulation.
(14)
Reference determined costs for the second reference period are forecasted to reduce on average by 2,1 % per year.
(15)
In addition to the Union-wide performance targets, alert thresholds should be set beyond which the alert mechanisms referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013 may be activated.
(16)
In accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013, local targets need not necessarily be equal to the Union-wide performance targets. They should be consistent with and adequately contributing to these Union-wide performance targets. The performance plan, which according to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013 has to be drawn up at functional airspace block level, should reflect this consistency and its adequate contribution.
(17)
This Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication, with a view to facilitating the preparation of the performance plans in accordance with Chapter II of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 390/2013.
(18)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

ANNEX
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Technical scope
1.1.1. This specification concerns data about the following subsystems of the Union rail system:
(a)
the infrastructure structural subsystem,
(b)
the energy structural subsystem, and
(c)
the trackside control-command and signalling subsystem.
1.1.2. These subsystems are included in the list of subsystems in Annex II (1) to Directive 2008/57/EC.
1.2. Geographical scope
The geographical scope of this specification is the European Union rail system as determined by Directive 2008/57/EC. It excludes the cases referred to in Article 1(3) of Directive 2008/57/EC.
2. PURPOSE
2.1. General
The main purpose of the register of infrastructure provided for in article 35 of Directive 2008/57/EC (RINF) is to provide transparency on the characteristics of the network. The information provided by the RINF is used for planning purposes in designing new trains, for assisting the assessment of compatibility of trains with routes before the start of operation and for use as a reference database. Therefore the RINF supports the processes described hereafter.
2.2. Designing Rolling Stock subsystems
Parameters from the RINF shall be used to identify infrastructure characteristics for the intended use of the rolling stock.
2.3. Ensuring technical compatibility for fixed installations
2.3.1. The notified body checks the conformity of the subsystems with the applicable TSI(s). Verification of interfaces for technical compatibility with the network into which a subsystem is incorporated may be ensured by consulting the RINF.
2.3.2. The body designated by each Member State checks the conformity of the subsystems when national rules apply and the RINF may be consulted to verify the interfaces for technical compatibility in these cases.
2.4. Monitoring progress of interoperability of the European Union railway network
Transparency about the progress of interoperability shall be ensured to monitor regularly the development of a European Union interoperable network.
2.5. Ascertaining route compatibility for proposed train service
2.5.1. Compatibility with the route for the proposed train service is checked before the railway undertaking procures access to the network from the infrastructure manager. The railway undertaking must be sure that the route intended to be used is capable of supporting its train.
2.5.2. The railway undertaking chooses vehicles considering any restrictions on the authorisation for placing in service and a possible route for the train intended to run:
(a)
all vehicles in the train must comply with the requirements applicable on the routes over which the train will run and
(b)
the train as a combination of vehicles must comply with the technical constraints of the route concerned.
3. COMMON FEATURES
The features set out in this Annex are common to all registers of infrastructure of the Member States.

(c)
‘running track’ means any track used for train service movements; passing loops and meeting loops on plain line or track connections only required for train operation are not published;
(d)
‘siding’ means any track within an operational point, which is not used for operational routing of a train.
3.2. Railway network structure for the RINF
3.2.1. For the purpose of the RINF, each Member State shall subdivide its railway network into sections of line and operational points.
3.2.2. Items to be published for ‘section of line’ related to infrastructure, energy and track-side control-command and signalling subsystems shall be assigned to the infrastructure element ‘running track’.

of 3 June 2014
approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Pagnotta del Dittaino (PDO)]
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,

ANNEX I
In the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’, the following amendment is approved:
1.1. Method of production
—
Bronte, Iride and Sant'Agata have been included in the group of varieties that should make up 70 % of the flour used. This amendment is required on account of the inevitable process of change in the wheat cultivated as varieties certified by the competent bodies in Sicily and beyond and that are adapted to the Sicilian environment and particularly suitable for bread-making and the general farming environment are more available to farmers and to the sector. The amendment is therefore aimed at encouraging farmers to source certified seed among the most widespread varieties locally.
—
Flour from all the durum wheat varieties listed in the national register may now be used, within the limit of 30 % of the total flour. This amendment is based on the producers' request to also use other varieties resulting from scientific research and suitable for bread-making for the production of ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’. Furthermore, widening the range of varieties is also necessary to overcome the difficulties of using certain varieties that are difficult to find because they are no longer cultivated.
—
As regards the description of the characteristics of the durum wheat and of the various flours, the mathematical symbol for the chemical parameters for durum wheat and flour has been changed from to ≥ and from to ≤ as appropriate. This amendment takes into account the results of analyses of the ingredients used to produce the pagnotta but does not affect the characteristics of the ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ as the wheat and flour included have qualities that are very close to the current limits.
—
Variation of the yellow index value from 17b minolta to ≥ 14 b minolta. Studies carried out in the context of ‘Experimentation at national level’ into durum wheat varieties demonstrate that in Sicily average yellow index values stand at 16 (value for whole wheat flour), which is much lower than the initial estimates. The value 14 is the level with which all the varieties used to produce ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ comply.
—
It has been decided to remove some chemical parameters with regard to which flour must be used to produce the ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ so as to facilitate matters for the producers and limit the costs of chemical analyses. Specifically, the parameters for gluten, the yellow index, absorption, rising times, stability and the degree of softening have been removed. Some of these parameters (absorption, rising times, stability and the degree of softening) require specific equipment which entails significant costs and requires the availability of laboratories equipped with qualified staff, while the parameters for gluten and the yellow index are directly related to the protein content, therefore determining them is superfluous.
—
As regards the falling number (F.N.), the current specification stipulates a value below 480 seconds. The amendment inserts a range of between 480 to 800 seconds so as to ensure balanced amylase activity and in all events above 480. This amendment excludes the use of flour with values below the limit established and for which specific studies have discovered defects in the crumb (glutinosity) and in the sponginess (irregularities).
—
A range has been introduced with regard to the quantity of salt. The quantity of salt required does in fact vary depending on the quantity of water in the dough and the type of salt used.
—
The rising and baking times have been changed to optimise the production process depending on the size of the pagnotta.
—
Greater flexibility has been introduced into the time allocated to each individual production phase so as to facilitate the production process.
1.2. Other: Updated legal references
The legal references have been updated.

CONSOLIDATED SINGLE DOCUMENT
Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1)
‘PAGNOTTA DEL DITTAINO’
EC No: IT-PDO-0105-01186 — 11.12.2013
PGI () PDO (X)
1. Name
‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’
2. Member state or third country
Italy
3. Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff
3.1. Type of product
Class 2.4. Bread, pastry, cakes, confectionery, biscuits and other baker's wares
3.2. Description of the product to which the name in (1) applies
‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ is released for consumption in the traditional form of a round loaf weighing between 500 and 1 100 g or as a sliced, half loaf. The crust is between 3 and 4 mm thick and medium hard. The crumb is pale yellow, elastic, fine-grained, compact and uniform. The bread has a moisture content of no more than 38 % and maintains its organoleptic properties, such as its aroma, taste and freshness, for up to five days from the date of production.
3.3. Raw materials (for processed products only)
‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO is bread produced using a particular method, employing natural leaven and durum-wheat flour of the varieties Simeto, Duilio, Arcangelo, Mongibello, Ciccio, Colosseo, Bronte, Iride and San'Agata grown in the area referred to in point 4 below, which must account for at least 70 % of the total flour used. The remaining 30 % must be of durum wheat of the varieties Amedeo, Appulo, Cannizzo, Cappelli, Creso, Latino, Norba, Pietrafitta, Quadrato, Radioso, Rusticano, Tresor, Vendetta or of other hard wheat varieties listed in the national variety register, grown in the production area.
The durum wheat used to make the flour must be grown from certified seed and meet the following minimum quality requirements: weight ≥ 78 kg/hl; protein (N tot. × 5,70) ≥ 12 % of dry matter; moisture content ≤ 12,5 %; gluten ≥ 8 % of dry matter; yellow index ≥ 14 b minolta.
3.4. Feed (for products of animal origin only)
—
3.5. Specific steps in production that must take place in the identified geographical area
Cultivation and harvest of the grain and production of ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO must take place within the production area referred to in point 4.
3.6. Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.
In order to preserve the product's quality characteristics, ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ must be packed immediately, within the defined geographical area, in micropore plastic film or in a modified atmosphere to ensure compliance with health and hygiene requirements while allowing the product to breathe.
3.7. Specific rules concerning labelling
The label must show the ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ denomination logo and the EU logo.
It is forbidden to add any description that is not expressly provided for. However, references to brand names may be used, on condition that they have no laudatory purport and are not such as to mislead the consumer. The PDO logo is rectangular and shows at bottom left two ears of durum wheat at right angles to each other, framing two loaves, one of which is whole and the other, placed above it, is a half loaf. Above, in the centre of a rectangular box, in a single horizontal line, are the words ‘PAGNOTTA DEL DITTAINO DOP’ (‘PAGNOTTA DEL DITTAINO PDO’).
4. Concise definition of the geographical area
‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO is produced in an area comprising the municipalities of Agira, Aidone, Assoro, Calascibetta, Enna, Gagliano Castelferrato, Leonforte, Nicosia, Nissoria, Piazza Armerina, Regalbuto, Sperlinga, Valguarnera Caropepe and Villarosa in the Province of Enna and the municipalities of Castel di Iudica, Raddusa and Ramacca in the Province of Catania.
5. Link with the geographical area
5.1. Specificity of the geographical area
The grain used for the production of ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ is grown in an area with a typically Mediterranean climate. Rainfall varies considerably over the year and is concentrated in autumn and winter, with annual averages of around 500 mm. Average monthly temperatures are highest in July and August and lowest in January and February, but temperatures only rarely fall low enough to damage crops (0 oC). The soils in which the durum wheat is grown are fairly loamy.
5.2. Specificity of the product
‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO differs from other products of the same type, among other things, in the consistency of its crust and its light yellow, fine, compact and uniform crumb. Another characteristic of ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO is its capacity to maintain its organoleptic properties, such as its aroma, taste and freshness, for five days.
In times gone by, the harvested grain used to be stored in special pits or storehouses and, naturally, protected from water. The cereal was not treated to protect against fungal infestations or against insect parasites. The grain would be taken to local mills for grinding as needed.
Today, durum wheat harvested in the defined area is just pre-cleaned to separate the grain from the straw and to remove impurities and foreign bodies and is then placed in silos and stored without the use of pesticides or chemical products. Only physical treatments are permitted at the mill (cooling with cold air and turning the grain).
These treatments prevent overheating of the grain, something that creates ideal conditions for the growth of mould, the formation of mycotoxins and the hatching of the eggs of insect parasites and that can even cause the germination of caryopses.
The natural leaven is derived from a starter that is renewed as necessary. This involves taking one part of starter and mixing it with two parts of flour and one part of water. After kneading, this produces four pieces of rising dough. One of these will serve as a renovated starter and the other three are added to the bread mixture as a natural leaven after being left to ripen for at least five hours.
5.3. Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)
The special properties of ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ described in point 5.2 stem directly from the morphological characteristics, soil and climate of the production area referred to in point 4. Those properties are without any doubt due to and therefore closely linked to the durum wheat used as the main raw material in the production process, which, due to the soil and climate of the production area, has excellent quality and health characteristics (free from mycotoxins) and confers on ‘Pagnotta del Dittaino’ PDO its unique organoleptic properties.
Durum wheat, as historical sources relate, was always used in the area for bread-making, unlike in other parts of Italy where common wheat flour was and continues to be used, giving a product that conserved its principal organoleptic properties for a week.
This was the result of the use not only of durum wheat flour but also of ‘criscenti’ (natural leaven). The fermentation of the sourdough is based on a dynamic equilibrium between lactic bacteria and yeasts. The principal microbial species found are Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis (Lactobacillus brevis ssp. lindneri), Candida milleri and Saccharomyces exiguus.
Much of the evidence provided in ancient texts was gathered in the durum-wheat production area and has come, over time, to constitute a store of knowledge and traditions relating to cereal production and, in particular, bread-making.
Durum-wheat production in the areas of the interior of Sicily, including municipalities in the Provinces of Enna and Catania, is an important activity, not only because of the size of the area devoted to it but also because it involves land traditionally used for the dry cultivation of durum wheat. In those municipalities, because of both soil conditions and the climate, the only crop that has been able over the years to guarantee local farmers employment and a fair income is durum wheat.
Evidence of the important role played by durum wheat in the Sicilian diet is provided by Pliny the Elder in his ‘De Naturalis Historia’. While in other regions of Italy, flour was obtained from acorns, chestnuts or from other cereals, such as barley and rye, in Sicily farmers learned to make bread from wheat flour. According to Sonnino, people in the Sicilian countryside survived, despite serious shortages, by living on bread made from wheat flour.

REGULATION (EU) No 254/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 26 February 2014
on a multiannual consumer programme for the years 2014-20 and repealing Decision No 1926/2006/EC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 169 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1)
The Commission Communication of 3 March 2010 entitled ‘Europe 2020 — A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ (‘Europe 2020’) calls for citizens to be empowered to play a full part in the internal market, which requires the strengthening of their ability and confidence to buy goods and services cross-border, in particular online.
(2)
The Union contributes to ensuring a high level of consumer protection and to placing consumers at the heart of the internal market by supporting and complementing Member States’ policies in seeking to ensure that citizens can fully reap the benefits of the internal market and that, in so doing, their safety and legal and economic interests are properly protected by means of concrete actions.
(3)
The multiannual Consumer Programme for the years 2014-20 (‘the Programme’) should help ensure a high level of protection for consumers and fully support the ambitions of Europe 2020 as regards growth and competitiveness by integrating specific concerns identified in Europe 2020 on the digital agenda for Europe in order to ensure that digitalisation actually leads to increased consumer welfare, on sustainable growth by moving towards more sustainable patterns of consumption, on social inclusion by taking into account the specific situation of vulnerable consumers and the needs of an ageing population, and on smart regulation, inter alia, through consumer market monitoring to help design smart and targeted regulations.
(4)
The Commission Communication of 22 May 2012 entitled ‘A European Consumer Agenda — Boosting confidence and growth’ (the ‘Consumer Agenda’) sets out a strategic framework for Union consumer policy in the years to come by supporting consumer interests in all Union policies. The aim of the Consumer Agenda is to create a strategy in which political action will efficiently and effectively support consumers throughout their lives by ensuring the safety of the products and services made available to them, by informing and educating them, by supporting bodies that represent them, by strengthening their rights, by giving them access to justice and redress and by ensuring that consumer legislation is enforced.
(5)
The recent economic downturn has exposed a number of shortcomings and inconsistencies in the internal market, which have had adverse implications for consumers’ and citizens’ confidence. Whilst it is necessary to acknowledge the budgetary constraints under which the Union is currently operating, the Union should nevertheless provide adequate financial means to enable the targets of the Programme to be reached and should therefore support Europe 2020.
(6)
The elimination of remaining unjustified and disproportionate barriers to the proper functioning of the internal market and improving citizens’ trust and confidence in the system, in particular when buying cross-border, are essential for the completion of the internal market. The Union should aim to create the right conditions to empower consumers by providing them with sufficient tools, knowledge and competence to make considered and informed decisions and by raising consumer awareness.
(7)
This Regulation takes into account the economic, social and technical environment and the concomitant emerging challenges. In particular, actions funded under the Programme will seek to address issues linked to globalisation, digitalisation, the growing level of complexity of decisions that consumers have to make, the need to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption, population ageing, social exclusion and the issue of vulnerable consumers. Integrating consumer interests into all Union policies, in accordance with Article 12 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), is a high priority. Coordination with other Union policies and programmes is a key part of ensuring that consumer interests are taken fully into account in other policies. In order to promote synergies and avoid duplication, other Union funds and programmes should provide for financial support for the integration of consumer interests in their respective fields.
(8)
The Programme should ensure a high level of protection for all consumers, devoting particular attention to vulnerable consumers, in order to take into account their specific needs and strengthen their capabilities, as called for in the Resolution of the European Parliament of 22 May 2012 on a strategy for strengthening the rights of vulnerable consumers (4). In particular, the Programme should ensure that vulnerable consumers have access to information on goods and services, in order to have equal opportunities to make free and informed choices, especially since vulnerable consumers may have difficulties in accessing and comprehending consumer information, and therefore risk being misled.
(9)
The Programme should in particular take into account children, including by working with stakeholders to ensure their commitment to responsible advertising towards minors, in particular to combating misleading online advertising.
(10)
Actions should be laid down in the Programme, providing a Union framework for their funding. In accordance with Article 54 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), this Regulation is to provide the legal basis for those actions and for the implementation of the Programme. This Regulation builds on and continues the actions funded under Decision No 1926/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).
(11)
It is important to improve consumer protection. To achieve that general objective, specific objectives should be set as regards safety, consumer information and education and support for consumer organisations at Union level, rights and redress as well as enforcement in respect of consumer rights. The value and impact of the measures taken under the Programme should regularly be monitored and evaluated to facilitate smarter policy design in the interest of consumers. In order to evaluate consumer policy and particularly the precise impact of the measures taken, indicators should be developed, the value of which should however be considered in a wider context.
(12)
It is important to enhance consumer confidence. In order to achieve that objective, it is necessary to strengthen the scope for action, particularly through appropriate financial support to Union-level consumer organisations and European consumer centres, taking into account their major role in providing information and assistance to consumers about their rights, supporting consumers in consumer disputes, in particular with regard to access to appropriate dispute resolution mechanisms, and promoting consumer interests in the proper functioning of the internal market. Those organisations and centres should have the capacity to enhance consumer protection and confidence by taking action on the ground and tailoring aid, information and education to the individual.
(13)
It is necessary to provide for the eligible actions by which those objectives are to be achieved.
(14)
It is necessary to define the categories of potential beneficiaries eligible for grants.
(15)
A financial reference amount for the Programme, within the meaning of point 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (7), is included in this Regulation, without the budgetary powers of the European Parliament and the Council, as set out in the TFEU, being thereby affected.
(16)
In the spirit of the principles of sound financial management, transparency and flexibility in the implementation of the Programme, the continuation of the executive agency should be permissible if all the requirements set by Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 (8) are met.
(17)
Expenditure of Union and Member States’ funds in the area of consumer safety, education, rights and enforcement should be better coordinated in order to ensure complementarity, better efficiency and visibility, as well as to achieve better budgetary synergies.
(18)
The Agreement on the European Economic Area provides for cooperation in the field of consumer protection between the Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and the countries of the European Free Trade Association participating in the European Economic Area, on the other. Provision should also be made to open the Programme to participation by other countries, in particular the neighbouring countries of the Union and countries which are applying for, are candidates for or are acceding to, membership of the Union.
(19)
In the context of the implementation of the Programme, and given the globalisation of the production chain and the increasing interdependence of markets, cooperation with third countries not participating in the Programme should be encouraged, taking into account any relevant agreements between those countries and the Union.
(20)
The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the adaptation of the indicators set out in Annex II in order to take into account changes in the legislative framework in the area of consumer protection, and in respect of amending Annex I by removing specific actions concerned in order to take into account the results of an evaluation report by the Commission. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure the simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(21)
In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in respect of the adoption of annual work programmes. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9). Given that the Programme does not set out criteria for the safety of products but aims at providing financial support to tools for the implementation of product safety policy, and given the relatively small amount concerned, it is appropriate that the advisory procedure apply.
(22)
The financial interests of the Union should be protected through proportionate measures throughout the expenditure cycle, including the prevention, detection and investigation of irregularities, the recovery of funds lost, unduly paid or incorrectly used and, where appropriate, administrative and financial penalties in accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012.
(23)
Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States due to the cross-border nature of the issues involved, but can rather, by reason of the greater potential of Union action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(24)
Decision No 1926/2006/EC should be repealed.
(25)
It is appropriate to ensure a smooth transition without interruption between the programme of Community action in the field of consumer policy (2007-13), established by Decision No 1926/2006/EC, and this Programme, in particular regarding the continuation of multiannual measures and the evaluation of the previous programme’s successes and areas that need more attention. Furthermore, it is appropriate to align the duration of this Programme with that of the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-20 laid down in Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (10). Therefore, this Programme should apply as from 1 January 2014. As of 1 January 2021, the technical and administrative assistance appropriations should cover, if necessary, the expenditure related to the management of actions not completed by the end of 2020,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Multiannual consumer programme
This Regulation establishes a multiannual consumer programme for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 (the ‘Programme’).
Article 2
General objective
The general objective of the Programme is to ensure a high level of consumer protection, to empower consumers and to place the consumer at the heart of the internal market, within the framework of an overall strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The Programme will do so by contributing to protecting the health, safety and the legal and economic interests of consumers, as well as to promoting their right to information, education and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests, and supporting the integration of consumer interests into other policy areas. The Programme shall complement, support and monitor the policies of Member States.
Article 3
Specific objectives and indicators
1. The general objective referred to in Article 2 shall be pursued through the following specific objectives:
(a)

This objective will be measured in particular through the activity and effectiveness of the EU rapid alert system for dangerous consumer products (RAPEX).
(b)
Objective II — Consumer information and education, and support to consumer organisations: to improve consumers’ education, information and awareness of their rights, to develop the evidence base for consumer policy and to provide support to consumer organisations, including taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable consumers.
(c)
Objective III — Rights and redress: to develop and reinforce consumer rights in particular through smart regulatory action and improving access to simple, efficient, expedient and low-cost redress including alternative dispute resolution.
This objective will be measured in particular through the recourse to alternative dispute resolution to solve cross-border disputes and through the activity of a Union-wide online dispute resolution system, and by the percentage of consumers taking action in response to a problem encountered.
(d)
Objective IV — Enforcement: to support enforcement of consumer rights by strengthening cooperation between national enforcement bodies and by supporting consumers with advice.
This objective will be measured in particular through the level of information flow and the effectiveness of the cooperation within the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network, the activity of the European Consumer Centres and how well known they are to consumers.
High-quality consumer information and participation is a cross-sectoral priority and, therefore, shall be expressly provided for, whenever possible, in all sectoral objectives and actions financed under the Programme.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2014/101/EU
of 30 October 2014
amending Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 20(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The quality and comparability of the methods used for the monitoring of type parameters generated under Member States responsibility to perform water ecological monitoring pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC should be ensured.
(2)
Section 1.3.6 of Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC requires that methods used for the monitoring of type parameters conform to the international standards listed therein or such other national or international standards which will ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality and comparability. The international standards listed in Annex V were those available at the time of adoption of that Directive.
(3)
Since the publication of Directive 2000/60/EC, a number of new standards have been published by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), some of them jointly with the International Standards Organisation, addressing biological sampling of phytoplankton, macrophytes and phytobenthos, benthic invertebrates, fish and hydromorphological characteristics. Those standards should be added to Section 1.3.6 of Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC.
(4)
As a result of the continued process of development of new standards and update of existing ones, some of the standards listed in Section 1.3.6 of Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC are no longer published by CEN Member Bodies and should therefore be removed.
(5)
Two standards (EN ISO 8689-1:1999 and EN ISO 8689-2:1999 9) listed in Section 1.3.6 of Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC addressed biological classification and not monitoring; they have been taken into account subsequently when developing protocols for setting class boundaries under the Common Implementation Strategy related to the Directive and can now be removed.
(6)
Directive 2000/60/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 21(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 20 May 2016 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 218/2014
of 7 March 2014
amending Annexes to Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005
(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 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 17(1) and points 3 and 10 of Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. In accordance with Annex II to that Regulation food business operators operating slaughterhouses are to request, receive, check and act upon food chain information in respect of all animals, other than wild game, sent or intended to be sent to the slaughterhouse. Such information includes the status of the holding of provenance.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 216/2014 of 7 March 2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat (3) grants derogation from testing provisions to holdings which apply controlled housing conditions. Such information should therefore be included in the food chain information to be provided to the slaughterhouse, in order to enable the Member States to apply the appropriate Trichinella testing regime.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down conditions under which meat from animals having undergone emergency slaughter outside a slaughterhouse, is fit for human consumption. As emergency slaughter meat which has successfully passed meat inspection does not constitute a risk to public health, the requirement for a special health mark and the restriction to the national market for the emergency slaughter meat should be deleted from that Regulation and the requirement for a special health mark for the emergency slaughter meat also from Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. In particular, Annex I to that Regulation lays down rules for ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, including visual inspection, and for specific hazards in fresh meat.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 provides that official auxiliaries may assist the official veterinarian with official controls subject to certain restrictions. In relation to ante-mortem inspection and checks concerning the welfare of animals, official auxiliaries should be allowed to help the official veterinarian with the preselection of animals with abnormalities.
(6)
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 3 October 2011 a Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (4), which concluded that the currently required palpations and incisions in post-mortem inspection involve a risk of cross contamination. To prevent that cross contamination, those palpations and incisions should not be required anymore for normal animals, but only when abnormalities are identified. In that opinion EFSA identifies that the pathogens causing endocarditis in pigs are not relevant for public health. Since the routine incision of the heart is not necessary for safety reasons, it should not be required anymore.
(7)
In the same opinion EFSA identifies Salmonella as a high risk for public health related to the consumption of pigmeat, and recommends to prevent contamination of pig carcases with Salmonella.
(8)
In Chapter IX of Section IV of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004, provisions are laid down on the tasks of the official veterinarian for specific hazards. Salmonella should also be subject of specific task of the official veterinarian, in particular in case of non-compliance with specific Union legislation. In particular supervision of the existing process hygiene criterion for Salmonella on carcases laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 15 November 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs (5) and enforcement of action by the food business operator in case of non-compliance with specific Union legislation, should be integrated in pigmeat inspection. The supervision also provides a cost-efficient tool to provide the information on the mandatory monitoring of Salmonella in the pigmeat production chain in accordance with Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC (6).
(9)
In Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down implementing measures for certain products under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and for the organisation of official controls under Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, derogating from Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (7), specific requirements are laid down for optional visual post-mortem inspection of pigs. The amendments proposed in the present Regulation of the standard post-mortem inspection requirements in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 make the requirements for optional visual inspection of pigs laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 irrelevant for pigs and consequently those requirements should be amended.
(10)
The requirements provided for in the Regulation involve an adaptation of current practices both for food business operators and competent authorities. It is therefore appropriate to allow a delayed application of this Regulation.
(11)
Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 2074/2005 should be therefore amended accordingly.
(12)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004
Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 is amended as follows:
(1)
point 3(a) of Section III of Annex II is replaced by the following:
‘(a)

2.
When the epidemiological or other data from the holding of provenance of the animals, the food chain information or the findings of ante-mortem inspection and/or post-mortem visual detection of relevant abnormalities indicate possible risks to public health, animal health or animal welfare, the carcases and offal of pigs are to undergo additional post-mortem procedures using incision and palpation. Depending on the identified risks these procedures may include:
(a)
incision and examination of the submaxillary lymph nodes (Lnn. mandibulares);
(b)
palpation of the lungs and the bronchial and mediastinal lymph nodes (Lnn. bifucationes, eparteriales and mediastinales). The trachea and the main branches of the bronchi must be opened lengthwise and the lungs must be incised in their posterior third, perpendicular to their main axes; those incisions are not necessary where the lungs are excluded from human consumption;
(c)
incision of the heart lengthwise so as to open the ventricles and cut through the interventricular septum;
(d)
palpation of the liver and its lymph nodes;
(e)

COUNCIL DECISION 2014/145/CFSP
of 17 March 2014
concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 6 March 2014, the Heads of State or Government of the Union's Member States strongly condemned the unprovoked violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Russian Federation and called on the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its armed forces to the areas of their permanent stationing, in accordance with the relevant agreements. They called on the Russian Federation to enable immediate access for international monitors. The Heads of State or Government considered that the decision by the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to hold a referendum on the future status of the territory is contrary to the Ukrainian Constitution and therefore illegal.
(2)
The Heads of State or Government decided to take actions, including those envisaged by the Council on 3 March 2014, notably to suspend bilateral talks with the Russian Federation on visa matters as well as talks with the Russian Federation on a new comprehensive Agreement which would replace the existing Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.
(3)
The Heads of State or Government underlined that the solution to the crisis should be found through negotiations between the Governments of Ukraine and of the Russian Federation, including through potential multilateral mechanisms, and that in the absence of results within a limited timeframe the Union will decide on additional measures, such as travel bans, asset freezes and the cancellation of the EU-Russia summit.
(4)
In the current circumstances, travel restrictions and an asset freeze should be imposed against persons responsible for actions which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, including actions on the future status of any part of the territory which are contrary to the Ukrainian Constitution, and persons, entities or bodies associated with them.
(5)
Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into, or transit through, their territories of the natural persons responsible for actions which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, and of natural persons associated with them, as listed in the Annex.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not oblige a Member State to refuse its own nationals entry into its territory.
3. Paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the cases where a Member State is bound by an obligation of international law, namely:
(a)
as a host country to an international intergovernmental organisation;
(b)
as a host country to an international conference convened by, or under the auspices of the United Nations;
(c)
under a multilateral agreement conferring privileges and immunities; or
(d)
under the 1929 Treaty of Conciliation (Lateran pact) concluded by the Holy See (State of the Vatican City) and Italy.
4. Paragraph 3 shall be considered as also applying in cases where a Member State is host country to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
5. The Council shall be duly informed in all cases where a Member State grants an exemption pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4.
6. Member States may grant exemptions from the measures imposed under paragraph 1 where travel is justified on the grounds of urgent humanitarian need, or on grounds of attending intergovernmental meetings, and those promoted or hosted by the Union, or hosted by a Member State holding the Chairmanship in office of the OSCE, where a political dialogue is conducted that directly promotes the policy objectives of the restrictive measures, including support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
7. A Member State wishing to grant exemptions referred to in paragraph 6 shall notify the Council in writing. The exemption shall be deemed to be granted unless one or more of the Council members raises an objection in writing within two working days of receiving notification of the proposed exemption.

8. Where, pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 6 and 7, a Member State authorises the entry into, or transit through its territory of persons listed in the Annex, the authorisation shall be limited to the purpose for which it is given to the person concerned therewith.
Article 2
1.

6. Paragraph 2 shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:
(a)
interest or other earnings on those accounts;
(b)
payments due under contracts, agreements or obligations that were concluded or arose prior to the date on which those accounts became subject to the measures provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2; or
(c)

provided that any such interest, other earnings and payments remain subject to the measures provided for in paragraph 1.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 14 January 2014
amending Decision 2010/221/EU as regards national measures for preventing the introduction of certain aquatic animal diseases into parts of Ireland, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom
(notified under document C(2014) 26)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/12/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Decision 2010/221/EU (2) allows certain Member States to apply placing on the market and import restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases into their territory, provided that they have demonstrated that their territory, or certain demarcated areas of their territory, are free of such diseases. In addition, Member States which have an approved eradication programme may apply the same restrictions until 31 December 2013.
(2)
Decision 2010/221/EU provides that the Member States and parts thereof listed in Annex I thereto are to be regarded as free from the diseases listed in that Annex. In addition, Decision 2010/221/EU approved the eradication programmes adopted by certain Member States in respect of the areas and the diseases listed in Annex II thereto. That Decision also approved the surveillance programmes regarding ostreid herpes virus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar) adopted by certain Member States in respect of the areas set out in Annex III thereto.
(3)
Certain continental parts of the territory of Finland and all the continental parts of the territory of Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as territories with an approved eradication programme as regards bacterial kidney disease (BKD).
(4)
The coastal parts of the territory of Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as having an approved eradication programme as regards infectious pancreas necrosis virus (IPN).
(5)
Finland has reported to the Commission that progress has been made in the eradication programme for BKD. Since 2012 no new BKD outbreaks have been detected in the area subject to the BKD eradication programme. Two farms, however, remain under restrictions since they are still in the process of cleaning and final testing to confirm their disease-free status with regard to BKD. In view of that, Finland has requested the extension of the period during which it may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU on consignments of certain aquaculture animals introduced into areas of its territory subject to an eradication programme with regard to BKD, in order to be able to finalise the approved eradication programme.
(6)
Sweden has reported to the Commission that during the last 3 years of surveillance in the areas subjected to the approved eradication programme only one farm has tested positive as regards BKD. That farm has since been emptied and cleaning and disinfection are currently being carried out. In view of that situation, Sweden reported that the BKD status of the area of its territory listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU will be evaluated in 2014. Consequently, Sweden has requested the extension of the period during which it may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU on consignments of certain aquaculture animals introduced into the areas of its territory subject to an eradication programme with regard to BKD, in order to be able to finalise the approved eradication programme.
(7)
On the basis of the information provided by Finland and Sweden, it is appropriate to extend the period during which those Member States may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU. However, taking into account that eradication has not yet been completely achieved despite the fact that the national eradication programmes have been implemented for a considerable period, the appropriateness of the national measures needs to be re-evaluated. The possibility to apply those restrictions should therefore be extended by 2 more years, in order to allow for such re-evaluation.
(8)
As regards IPN, both Finland and Sweden have asked for an evaluation of the further approach and scope of the surveillance and eradication programmes for that disease. At current situation the definition of IPN has been interpreted to include all genogroups of IPN-virus. Only strains of IPN-virus genogroup 5 are known to cause mortality and clinical disease in farmed salmonids in Europe, and other genogroups should therefore not be included in those eradication programmes. A decision on this issue can, however, only be made on the basis of a comprehensive scientific evaluation. Until such evaluation is completed, it is appropriate to prolong the ongoing IPN eradication programmes. The possibility to apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be extended by 2 more years also for this purpose.
(9)
Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU currently lists nine compartments in the territory of Ireland with an approved surveillance programme as regards ostreid herpesvirus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar).
(10)
Ireland has notified to the Commission the detection of OsHV-1 μvar in three of those compartments, namely compartment 8, Dunmanus Bay, compartment 9, Kinsale Bay and Ballylongford Bay of compartment 6. Consequently, the compartments 8 and 9 should be deleted from the list in Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU and the geographical demarcation of compartment 6 in that list should be amended.
(11)
The United Kingdom has notified to the Commission a declaration of freedom from OsHV-1 μvar for the entire coast of the United Kingdom including Guernsey, except for Whitstable Bay in Kent, Blackwater estuary in Essex and Poole Harbour in Dorset. Larne Lough in Northern Ireland is also included in that declaration. That declaration complies with the requirements for a declaration of freedom of disease laid down in Directive 2006/88/EC. Accordingly, the territory of the United Kingdom except Whitstable Bay, Kent, Blackwater estuary, Essex, and Poole Harbour in Dorset, Dundrum Bay, Killough Bay, Lough Foyle, Carlingford Lough and Strangford Lough Bay in Northern Ireland should be declared free of ostreid herpes virus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar).
(12)
Article 3(2) of the current Decision 2010/221/EU limits the authorisation to apply certain national measures in accordance with Article 43 of Directive 2006/88/EC in time until 31 December 2013. In order to avoid any disruption in the application of these measures, the proposed amendments should apply from 1 January 2014.
(13)
Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2010/221/EU is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 3(2), the date ‘31 December 2013’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2015’;
(2)

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 266/2014
of 14 March 2014
on the division between deliveries and direct sales of national milk quotas fixed for 2013/2014 in Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007
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 69(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has repealed and replaced Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as from 1 January 2014. However, Article 230(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that, as regards the system of milk production limitation, Section III of Chapter III of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as well as Article 55, Article 85 thereof and Annexes IX and X thereto continue to apply until 31 March 2015.
(2)
Article 67(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that producers may have one or two individual quotas, one for deliveries and the other for direct sales and quantities may be converted from one quota to the other only by the competent authority of the Member State, at the duly justified request of the producer.
(3)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 341/2013 (3) sets out the division between deliveries and direct sales for the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 for all Member States.
(4)
In accordance with Article 25(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 (4), Member States have notified to the Commission the quantities which have been definitively converted at the request of the producers between individual quotas for deliveries and for direct sales.
(5)
The total national quotas for all Member States fixed in point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 were increased with 1 %, effective from 1 April 2013, except for Italy whose quota was already increased with 5 %, effective from 1 April 2009. Member States, except Italy, have notified the Commission of the division between deliveries and direct sales of the additional quota.
(6)
It is therefore appropriate to establish the division between deliveries and direct sales of the national quotas applicable for the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014 fixed in point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(7)
Pursuant to Article 69(1) in conjunction with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the Commission had to act in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of that Regulation, The corresponding procedure under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 is the examination procedure referred to in Article 229(2) of that Regulation.
(8)
Given the fact that the division between direct sales and deliveries is used as a reference basis for controls pursuant to Articles 19 to 22 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 and for the establishment of the annual questionnaire set out in Annex I to that Regulation, it is appropriate to determine a date of expiry of this Regulation after the last possible date for those controls.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The division, applicable for the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014, between deliveries and direct sales of the national quotas fixed in Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 30 September 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

concerning the authorisation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens (holder of the authorisation DSM Nutritional products Ltd)
(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.
(2)
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of a canthaxanthin. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3)
That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4)
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of canthaxanthin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to stabilise the reproductive performance of breeder hens. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5)
The assessment of the preparation of canthaxanthin shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Authorisation
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

COUNCIL DECISION No 376/2014/EU
of 12 June 2014
authorising Portugal to apply a reduced rate of excise duty in the autonomous region of Madeira on locally produced and consumed rum and liqueurs and in the autonomous region of the Azores on locally produced and consumed liqueurs and eaux-de-vie
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Decision 2009/831/EC (1), adopted on the basis of Article 299(2) of the EC Treaty (now Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)), authorised Portugal to apply a reduced rate of excise duty in the autonomous region of Madeira on locally produced and consumed rum and liqueurs and in the autonomous region of the Azores on locally produced and consumed liqueurs and eaux-de-vie which may be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty set by Council Directive 92/84/EEC (2), but not more than 75 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol.
(2)
On 30 July 2013, the Portuguese authorities asked the Commission to submit a proposal for a Council Decision extending Decision 2009/831/EC, under the same conditions, until 31 December 2020. This request was modified on 19 November 2013, when Portugal requested an extension of Decision 2009/831/EC for six months, until 30 June 2014, to coincide with the current regional aid guidelines that would be followed by a new extension covering the period from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2020.
(3)
The granting of the new authorisation is justified in order to avoid endangering the development of those outermost regions. Faced with difficulties in exporting outside the regions, the regional markets are the only possible outlets to sell those products.
(4)
In the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira, raw materials of agricultural origin are more expensive than under normal conditions of production, due to the small size, fragmented nature and low mechanisation of agricultural holdings. In the case of Madeira, in addition, output from the processing of sugar cane is lower than in other outermost regions, due to the topography, climate, soil and artisanal production. The transport to the islands of certain raw and packaging materials not produced locally leads to additional cost, as compared to the transport of only the finished product. In the case of the Azores, the insularity is twofold, since the islands are widely spread. Transport and the installation of equipment in those remote and insular regions further increase the additional costs. The same applies to certain necessary travels and shipments to the mainland. Additional costs are also required for the storage of finished products as local consumption does not absorb output as it materialises, but stretches throughout the year. The small size of the regional market increases per unit costs in various ways, notably through the unfavourable relationship between fixed costs and output, both as regards equipment and costs necessary to meet environmental norms. Moreover, rum producers in Madeira have to treat waste from the processing of sugar cane, whereas producers in other regions can recycle those products. Finally, the producers concerned also bear extra costs generally borne by the local economies, in particular increased labour and energy costs.
(5)
The detailed calculations provided in the reports referred to in Article 4 of Decision 2009/831/EC confirm that the reduction of 75 % of the rate of excise duty does not offset completely the competitive disadvantage which distilled alcoholic beverages produced in Madeira and the Azores face as a result of higher production and marketing costs. Therefore, a reduction of the rate of excise duty should continue to be authorised at the level requested.
(6)
A careful examination of the situation confirms that it is necessary to grant Portugal's request in order to ensure that the alcohol industry is maintained in the outermost regions concerned.
(7)
Since the tax advantage does not go beyond what is necessary to offset additional costs, and since the volumes at stake remain modest and the tax advantage limited to consumption in the regions concerned, the measure does not undermine the integrity and coherence of the Union legal order.
(8)
The submission of a mid-term report should be required, so that the Commission can assess whether the conditions justifying the granting of such derogation continue to be fulfilled.
(9)
This Decision is without prejudice to the possible application of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 110 TFEU, Portugal is hereby authorised to apply a rate of excise duty lower than the full rate on alcohol laid down in Article 3 of Directive 92/84/EEC in the autonomous region of Madeira on locally produced and consumed rum and liqueurs, and in the autonomous region of the Azores on locally produced and consumed liqueurs and eaux-de-vie.
Article 2
The derogation referred to in Article 1 shall be confined:
1.
in Madeira
(a)
to rum as defined in category 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), having the geographical indication ‘Rum da Madeira’ referred to in category 1 of Annex III to that Regulation;
(b)
to liqueurs and ‘crème de’ as defined in categories 32 and 33 respectively of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 produced from regional fruit or plants;
2.
in the Azores
(a)
to liqueurs and ‘crème de’ as defined in categories 32 and 33 respectively of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 produced from regional fruit or raw materials;
(b)
to eaux-de-vie made from wine or grape marc having the characteristics and qualities defined in categories 4 and 6 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008.
Article 3
The reduced rate of excise duty applicable to the products referred to in Article 1 may be lower than the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol set by Directive 92/84/EEC, but may not be more than 75 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol.
Article 4
By 30 September 2017 at the latest, Portugal shall send the Commission a report to enable it to assess whether the reasons which justified the granting of the reduced rate still exist.
Article 5
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2020.
Article 6
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
Done at Luxembourg, 12 June 2014.

amending Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 as regards the import duty applicable to Basmati rice
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 point (a) of Article 183 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to the Agreement between the European Union and India (2) with respect to rice, approved by Council Decision 2004/617/EC (3), the duty applicable to imports of husked rice of certain Basmati varieties originating in India is fixed at zero.
(2)
Pursuant to the Agreement between the European Union and Pakistan (4) with respect to rice, approved by Council Decision 2004/618/EC (5), the duty applicable to imports of husked rice of certain Basmati varieties originating in Pakistan is fixed at zero.
(3)
To implement those agreements, Article 138 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (6) provided that the husked Basmati rice varieties covered by those agreements had to qualify for a zero rate of import duty under the conditions fixed by the Commission. Those conditions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 (7).
(4)
Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, which repeals and replaces Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, does not contain a provision similar to Article 138 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

(5)
In order to continue to comply with the Agreement between the Union and India and the Agreement between the Union and Pakistan, it should be provided in Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 that the husked Basmati rice varieties covered by those agreements should qualify for a zero rate of import duty under the conditions fixed in that Regulation.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 860/2014
of 5 August 2014
concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2)
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.
(3)
Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.
(4)
It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
Article 2
Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of 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.

Classification
(CN code)
Reasons
(1)
(2)
(3)
A product consisting of a luminous disc (so-called ‘luminous frisbee’) and a hand-operated launch system with retractable string, made of plastics. The disc contains battery powered LEDs.
The luminous disc is to be released in the air by tugging the string. It may be propelled up to a distance of 20 m before landing on the ground.
It is presented for use as a flying propeller toy.
See image (1)
9503 00 95
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9503 and 9503 00 95.
It follows from the objective characteristics of the product that it is intended to be used as a flying propeller toy and not as an outdoor game article or equipment associated with the exertion of a physical activity. It is not comparable to a ‘frisbee’, within the meaning of the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature, subheading 9506 99 90, that is used in throwing and catching games. Classification under heading 9506 as articles or equipment for outdoor games is therefore excluded.
The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9503 00 95 as other toys of plastics.

(4) for the inclusion of the active substance valifenalate in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2006/586/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3)
For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 19 February 2008. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (5) additional information was requested from the applicant on 18 July 2011. The evaluation of the additional data by Hungary was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in April 2012.
(4)
The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance valifenalate (6) on 31 May 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 13 December 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for valifenalate.
(5)
It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing valifenalate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve valifenalate.
(6)
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, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7)
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8)
Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing valifenalate. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9)
The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10)
In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (8) should be amended accordingly.
(11)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Approval of active substance
The active substance valifenalate, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing valifenalate as an active substance by 31 December 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing valifenalate as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 June 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a)
in the case of a product containing valifenalate as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or
(b)
in the case of a product containing valifenalate as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 759/2014
of 10 July 2014
concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2)
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.
(3)
Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.
(4)
It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.
(5)
The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
Article 2
Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of 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.

Reasons
(1)
(2)
(3)
A non-self-propelled machine (so-called ‘beach rake machine’) for cleaning sand beaches with dimensions of approximately 4 × 2,3 × 2,3 m.
It is used for sifting and cleaning sand of impurities, such as glass, plastic, cigarette butts, straws, cans, stones, sea grass, seaweed, small pieces of wood.
The machine levels the sand surface by means of a mouldboard deflector plate. The sand is then sifted through hundreds of stainless steel spring-loaded tines. Finally, the impurities are separated from the sand and carried on a conveyor into a hopper.
8479 10 00
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8479 and 8479 10 00.
As the machine only sorts or separates rubbish from the sand and not the sand itself, classification under heading 8474 as machinery for sorting or separating mineral substances is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8474, first paragraph, point (I)).
As the machine is used for the maintenance (cleaning) of beaches, it is considered to be machinery for public works, building or the like (see also the HSEN to heading 8479, group (II), sub-group (A), fifth paragraph). The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8479 10 00 as machinery for public works, building or the like. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/22/EU
of 13 February 2014
amending Annex IV to Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards infectious salmon anaemia (ISA)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 61(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2006/88/EC lays down, inter alia, certain animal health rules applicable to aquaculture animals and products thereof, including specific provisions concerning the exotic and non-exotic diseases and species susceptible thereto, listed in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive.
(2)
Section B of Part I of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC sets out the criteria to be fulfilled in order for a disease to be listed as a non-exotic disease in Part II of that Annex. Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is currently included in that list.
(3)
In May 2013 the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) amended Chapter 10.5. of the Aquatic Animal Health Code (OIE Aquatic Code) as regards ISA. According to the revised OIE Aquatic Code (16th Edition 2013), ISA is defined as an infection with genotype HPR-deleted or genotype HPR0 (non-deleted highly polymorphic region) of the genus Isavirus (ISAV) of the family Orthomyxoviridae. Furthermore, both genotypes are now notifiable in accordance with Article 1.3.1. and 10.5.1 of the OIE Aquatic Code. Before that revision no distinction was made between the two genotypes of ISAV.
(4)
Only infections with genotype HPR-deleted of the genus ISAV fulfil the criteria set out in Section B of Part I of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC. Consequently, only infections with genotype HPR-deleted of the genus ISAV should be listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC. For the purpose of Directive 2006/88/EC, infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) should therefore be defined as an infection with genotype HPR-deleted of the genus ISAV.
(5)
Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 15 November 2014 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
They shall apply those provisions from 16 November 2014 at latest.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 June 2014
establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the EU Ecolabel for bed mattresses
(notified under document C(2014) 4083)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/391/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 products which have 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)
Commission Decision 2009/598/EC (2) has established the ecological criteria and the related assessment and verification requirements for bed mattresses, which are valid until 30 June 2014.
(4)
In order to better reflect the state of the art of the market for this product group and take into account the innovation of the last years, it is considered appropriate to modify the scope of the product group and to establish a revised set of ecological criteria.
(5)
The revised criteria, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements should be valid for four years from the date of adoption of this Decision, taking into account the innovation cycle for this product group. These criteria aim at using of materials produced in a more sustainable way (considering a life cycle analysis approach), limiting the use of hazardous compounds, the levels of hazardous residues and the contribution of mattresses to indoor air pollution and promoting a durable and high-quality product that is easy to repair and disassembly.
(6)
Decision 2009/598/EC should therefore be replaced by this Decision.
(7)
A transitional period should be allowed for producers whose products have been awarded the EU Ecolabel for bed mattresses on the basis of the criteria set out in Decision 2009/598/EC, so that they have sufficient time to adapt their products to comply with the revised criteria and requirements.
(8)
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:

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall perform a test chamber analysis in accordance with the standard EN ISO 16000-9. The analysis of formaldehyde and other aldehydes shall comply with the standard ISO 16000-3; the analysis of VOCs and SVOCs shall comply with the standard ISO 16000-6. Testing following the standard CEN/TS 16516 shall be considered equivalent to those of the ISO 16000 series of standards.
Test results shall be calculated for an area specific ventilation rate ‘q’ = 0,5 m3/m2h, corresponding to a loading factor ‘L’ of 1 m2/m3 and an air change rate ‘n’ of 0,5 per hour. In all these cases, the total surface of all surfaces (upside, downside and edges) of the mattress determine the area used for calculation of the loading factor. The test shall be performed on an entire mattress. Should this not be possible for any reason, any of the following alternative procedures of testing may be applied:
1.
Performing the test on a representative sample of the mattress (i.e. one half, one quarter or one eighth); cut edges shall be closed airtight by appropriate means. In order to provide a conservative estimation of the concentration values expected from the entire mattress, concentrations registered with the sample shall be scaled-up by volume (i.e. emissions shall be multiplied by a factor 2, 4 or 8);
2.
Performing the test for each separate element forming part of the mattress. In order to provide a conservative estimation of the concentration values expected from the entire mattress, contributions registered with single components shall be combined using this formula CM = Σ ωi·Ci; where:
—
‘CM’ (μg·m–3) is the overall contribution from the entire mattress;
—
‘Ci’ (μg·m–3·kgi –1) is the contribution per unit of mass given by each element ‘i’ forming part of the mattress;
—
‘ωi’ (kgi) is the weight of the element ‘i’ in the entire mattress.
The emissions of all elements of the mattress shall be summed up without taking into account any adsorption or barrier effects (worst-case approach).
Criterion 12. Technical performance
12.1. Quality
The mattress shall be designed in a way that a quality product meeting the needs of the consumer is placed on the market.
Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide a report describing the approach followed and the actions taken in order to ensure the quality of the product, the fulfilment of specific functional characteristics and the respect of thermo-hygrometric wellness requirements. The following aspects should be taken into consideration: research and development, selection of materials, internal testing and verification procedures for demonstrating the fulfilment of functional characteristics and the respect of thermo-hygrometric wellness requirements.
12.2. Durability
Mattresses shall present the following functional characteristics:
—
Loss of height 15 %
—
Loss of firmness 20 %
Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide a test report describing the results obtained following the test method EN 1957. The losses of height and firmness refer to the difference between the measurements made initially (at 100 cycles) and after the completion (30 000 cycles) of the durability test.
12.3. Warranty
A list of recommendations on how to use, maintain and dispose the mattress shall be reported in the warranty documentation. The warranty for the mattress shall be valid for a period of at least 10 years. This prescription shall not be required for cot mattresses.
Assessment and verification: the applicant shall provide documentation attesting the implementation of the warranty scheme.
Criterion 13. Design for disassembly and recovery of materials
The manufacturer shall demonstrate that the mattress can be dismantled for the following purposes:
—
undertaking repairs and replacements of worn-out parts,
—
upgrading older or obsolete parts,
—
separating parts and materials for the potential recycle of them.
Assessment and verification: a report shall be submitted with the application detailing the dismantling of the mattress and the possible disposal of each part. For instance, the following actions could facilitate the dismantling of the mattress: preferring sewing to the application of glue; using removable covers; using single and recyclable materials for each homogeneous part.
Criterion 14. Information appearing on the EU Ecolabel
The EU Ecolabel can be applied both on the packaging and on the product. If the optional label with text box is used, it shall contain the following text:
—

(1)
In order to ensure efficient cooperation between competent authorities of home and host Member States information exchange should be two-way, within the respective supervisory competences of those authorities. It is therefore necessary to specify which information concerning institutions, and where relevant, concerning the functioning of their branches, should be provided by the competent authorities of the home Member State to the competent authorities of the host Member State, as well as which information regarding branches needs to be provided by competent authorities of host Member States to the competent authorities of the home Member State.
(2)
Exchange of information between competent authorities of home and host Member States should be seen in a wider context of supervision of cross-border banking groups and, were relevant, information could be provided at the consolidated level. In particular, if an institution has an ultimate parent undertaking in the Member State where it has its head office, and the competent authority concerned is also the consolidating supervisor, possibilities should be made available to provide information at the consolidated level rather than at the level of an institution operating through a branch. However, in this case the competent authority should notify competent authorities of host Member States that the information is provided at the consolidated level.
(3)
Information exchange between competent authorities of home and host Member States is not limited to the types of information specified in Article 50 of Directive 2013/36/EU, and therefore to the types of information specified in this Regulation. In particular, Articles 35, 36, 39, 43 and 52 of Directive 2013/36/EU set out a separate provision for exchange of information regarding on-the-spot verification of branches, notifications of the exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services, and measures, including precautionary ones, taken by competent authorities in relation to branches and their parent undertakings. This Regulation should therefore not specify exchange of information requirements in those areas.
(4)
It is necessary to laid down requirements for the information to be exchanged between competent authorities of home and host Member States in order to harmonise regulatory and supervisory practices across the Union. This information should cover all the areas specified in Article 50 of Directive 2013/36/EU, namely management and ownership, including business lines such as those referred to in Article 317 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), liquidity and findings pertaining to liquidity supervision, solvency, deposit guarantee, large exposures, systemic risk, administrative and accounting procedures, and internal control mechanisms. In order to facilitate the monitoring of institutions, the competent authorities of host and home Member States should keep each other informed about situations of non-compliance with national or Union law as well as about supervisory measures and sanctions imposed on institutions. Furthermore, additional information regarding leverage and preparation for emergency situations should be included into the scope of information to be exchanged between competent authorities of home and host Member States so that the latter are able to monitor institutions in an efficient way.
(5)
Where a liquidity stress affects or is expected to affect an institution, the competent authorities of host Member States need to have a clear understanding of the situation in order to be able to take precautionary measures under the conditions set out in Article 43 of Directive 2013/36/EU. This Regulation should therefore provide clear rules on what types of information have to be exchanged between authorities when a liquidity stress occurs. It is also necessary to specify the information to be exchanged so that authorities should be prepared well in advance for emergency situations such as those referred to in Article 114(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU.
(6)
Given the differences in the size, complexity and significance of branches operating in host Member States, it is important to apply the principle of proportionality in the exchange of information. To this end, a more extensive range of information should be exchanged between home and host competent authorities where the competent authorities in host Member States are responsible for branches identified as significant in accordance with Article 51 of Directive 2013/36/EU.
(7)
To ensure that the relevant information is exchanged within reasonable limits while avoiding situations where the competent authorities of a home Member State are obliged to forward any information about an institution, regardless of its nature and importance, to all competent authorities of host Member States, in specific cases, only information that is relevant to a particular branch should be transmitted exclusively to the competent authorities in charge of supervising this branch. For similar purposes, in a number of specific areas, only information revealing situations of non-compliance should be exchanged between competent authorities of home and host Member States, meaning that no information should be exchanged where the institution is in conformity with national and Union law.
(8)
This Regulation should also address exchange of information in relation to the carrying out of activities in a host Member State by way of the provision of cross-border services. Given the nature of cross-border services, competent authorities of host Member States are confronted with a lack of information regarding operations being conducted in their jurisdictions, and therefore it is essential to specify in detail what information needs to be exchanged for the purposes of safeguarding financial stability and monitoring conditions of authorisations, in particular monitoring whether the institution provides services in accordance with the notifications provided.This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission.
(9)
EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 83/2014
of 29 January 2014
amending Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 8(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (2) lays down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations which replaced Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (3), excluding Subpart Q concerning flight and duty time limitations and rest requirements.
(2)
In accordance with Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, implementing rules related to flight and duty times and rest requirements should initially include all substantive provisions of Subpart Q of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91, taking into account the latest scientific and technical evidence.
(3)
This Regulation constitutes an implementing measure referred to in Articles 8(5) and 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, therefore Subpart Q of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 should be deleted in accordance with Article 69(3) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. However, Subpart Q of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 should continue to apply until the transitional periods foreseen in this Regulation have expired and for the types of operations for which no implementing measures have been established.
(4)
This Regulation is without prejudice to the limits and minimum standards already established by Council Directive 2000/79/EC (4), in particular the provisions on working time and days free of duty, which should always be respected for mobile staff in civil aviation. The provisions of this Regulation and other provisions approved pursuant to this Regulation are not intended to justify any reductions in existing levels of protections for that mobile staff. The provisions of this Regulation do not preclude and should be without prejudice to more protective national social legislation and collective labour agreements concerning working conditions and health and safety at work.
(5)
Member States may derogate or deviate from this Regulation or the related certification specifications respectively, by applying provisions of a level of safety which is at least equivalent to the provisions of this Regulation, in order to better address particular national considerations or operational practices. Any derogations or deviations from this Regulation should be notified and treated in accordance with Articles 14 and 22 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, which ensure transparent and non-discriminatory decisions based on objective criteria.
(6)
The European Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) prepared draft implementing rules and submitted them as an opinion (5) to the Commission in accordance with Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
(7)
Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 should therefore be amended to include flight and duty time limitations and rest requirements.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 2, the following point (6) is added:
‘(6)
“air taxi operation” means, for the purpose of flight time and duty time limitations, a non-scheduled on demand commercial air transport operation with an aeroplane with a maximum operational passenger seating configuration (“MOPSC”) of 19 or less.’;
(2)
Article 8 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 8
Flight time limitations
1. CAT operations with aeroplanes shall be subject to Subpart FTL of Annex III.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, air taxi, emergency medical service and single pilot CAT operations by aeroplanes shall be subject to Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 and Subpart Q of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 and to related national exemptions based on safety risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities.
3. CAT operations with helicopters shall comply with national requirements.’;
(3)
the following Article 9a is inserted:
‘Article 9a
The Agency shall conduct a continuous review of the effectiveness of the provisions concerning flight and duty time limitations and rest requirements contained in Annexes II and III. No later than 18 February 2019 the Agency shall produce a first report on the results of this review.
That review shall involve scientific expertise and shall be based on operational data gathered, with the assistance of Member States, on a long-term basis after the date of application of this Regulation.
The review referred to in paragraph 1 shall assess the impact on aircrew alertness of at least the following:
—
duties of more than 13 hours at the most favourable time of the day,
—
duties of more than 10 hours at less favourable time of the day,
—
duties of more than 11 hours for crew members in an unknown state of acclimatisation,
—

disruptive schedules.’;
(4)
Annex II is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;
(5)
Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex II 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.
It shall apply from 18 February 2016.
By way of derogation from the second paragraph, Member States may choose not to apply the provisions of point ORO.FTL.205(e) of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 and continue to apply the existing national provisions concerning in-flight rest until 17 February 2017.
When a Member State applies the provisions of the third paragraph, it shall notify the Commission and the Agency and it shall describe the reasons for the derogation, its duration as well as the programme for implementation containing the envisaged actions and the related timing.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2014/184/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1) and in particular Article 30(5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
I. FACTS
(1)
On 1 October 2013, Österreichische Post AG (hereinafter referred to as ‘Austrian Post’) transmitted to the Commission, by e-mail, a request pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC. In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(5) of that Directive, the Commission informed the Austrian authorities thereof by letter of 18 October 2013. The Commission requested additional information from the Austrian authorities by e-mail of 5 December 2013, and from the applicant by emails of 4 November 2013, 28 November 2013, 10 January 2014 and 13 January 2014. Additional information was received from the Austrian authorities by e-mail of 18 December 2013, and from the applicant by e-mails of 8 November 2013, 2 December 2013 and 14 January 2014 respectively.
(2)
The request concerns certain postal services as well as certain services other than postal services, both provided by Austrian Post in the territory of Austria. The services concerned are described as follows in the request:

(i)
philately — special postage stamps;
(j)
financial services.
II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
(3)
Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC provides that contracts intended to enable the performance of one of the activities to which Directive 2004/17/EC applies shall not be subject to that Directive if, in the Member State in which it is carried out, the activity is directly exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted. Direct exposure to competition is assessed on the basis of objective criteria, taking account of the specific characteristics of the sector concerned. Access is deemed to be unrestricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the relevant Union legislation opening a given sector or a part of it. That legislation is listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, which, for the postal sector, refers to Directive 97/67/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).
(4)
Austria has implemented and applied Directive 97/67/EC as amended by Directive 2002/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and Directive 2008/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). None of the services concerned by the present request were reserved at the time of the request. As Austria has reached the level of market opening provided for under the legislation listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3) of that Directive.
(5)
Direct exposure to competition in a particular market should be evaluated on the basis of various criteria, none of which are, per se, decisive. In respect of the markets concerned by this Decision, the market share of the main players on a given market constitutes one criterion which should be taken into account. Another criterion could be the degree of concentration in those markets. As the conditions vary for the different activities that are concerned by this Decision, the examination of the competitive situation should take into account the different situations in different markets.
(6)
Although a narrower or a broader market definition might be envisaged in certain cases, the precise definition of the relevant market can be left open for the purposes of this Decision to the extent that the result of the analysis remains the same whether it is based on a narrow or a broad definition.
(7)
This Decision is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition. In particular, the criteria and the methodology used to assess direct exposure to competition under Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC are not necessarily identical to those used to perform an assessment under Articles 101 or 102 of the Treaty or Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (5).
III. ASSESSMENT
(8)
It should be kept in mind that the aim of this Decision is to establish whether the services concerned by the request are exposed to such a level of competition (in markets to which access is not restricted within the meaning of Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC) which will ensure that, also in the absence of the discipline brought about by the detailed procurement rules set out in Directive 2004/17/EC, procurement for the pursuit of the activities concerned will be carried out in a transparent, non-discriminatory manner based on criteria allowing purchasers to identify the solution which overall is the economically most advantageous one.
(9)
In this context, it should be recalled that the product markets defined are generally characterised by the presence of several operators. However, according to the available information, out of those operators, only the Austrian Post is a contracting entity within the meaning of Directive 2004/17/EC. The procurement of Austrian Post's competitors, for the purpose of carrying out the activities concerned by this Decision is not subject to the provisions of Directive 2004/17/EC. Consequently, for the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, the market analysis will not focus on the general degree of competition in a given market, but will assess whether or not the activities of Austrian Post are exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted.
(10)
In its practice (6), the Commission has taken the view that the markets for mail delivery services and any segments thereof are national in scope. This segmentation is mainly based on the fact that such services are provided at national level. The applicant's position is in line with that Commission practice.
(11)
Given that, in the case of mail delivery services, there are no indications of a wider or smaller geographical scope of the market, for the purposes of evaluating whether the conditions laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are fulfilled, and without prejudice to competition law, the relevant geographic market is considered to be the territory of Austria.
(12)
As regards other services than postal services, which are subject to this request, the applicant considers that the markets are national in scope. As the services concerned by the request are domestic services, for the purposes of this Decision, and without prejudice to competition law, the relevant geographic market is considered to be the territory of Austria.
(13)
The Commission has held in its previous practice that the market for mail delivery services can be segmented as follows:
(a)
domestic and cross-border mail (7);
(b)
inbound cross-border mail services and outbound cross border mail services (8);
(c)
business mail and mail for private consumers (9);
(d)
addressed and unaddressed mail (10).
Postal services for addressed letters B2X on a national level (‘domestic’ and ‘inbound’)
(14)
According to the request, the product market for postal services for addressed letters B2X is made up mainly of transactional mail and advertising mail. Transactional mail is defined as communication between companies or between companies and individuals, related to ongoing contracts/provisions of goods and services. Examples of transactional mail include invoices sent by utilities, payment forms, monthly account statements sent by banks, etc. In Austria 74 % of all transactional mail is made of invoices or financial statements (11). Invoices can be transmitted to their recipients electronically (e-invoicing) or by postal delivery.
(15)
The applicant argues that the delivery mode of business mail is technologically neutral meaning that both modes of delivery — electronic and postal — belong to the same relevant market. This assertion is not in line with the Commission precedents.
(16)
Having due regard to the current legal and factual situation in Austria, the Austrian authorities were invited (12) to express their views with regard to the substitution between electronic and postal delivery and more precisely on the definition of the relevant product market. The Austrian authorities could not provide additional information (13) to support the applicant's assertions.
(17)
It should be noted that according to Union competition rules, substitutability should be analysed, inter alia, on the basis of product characteristics, prices and intended use.
(18)
The applicant argues that internet and broadband penetration is very high in Austria which allows for substitution of postal delivery by electronic means of communication. However, in order to be able to send and/or to receive for instance an electronic invoice which allows for an automated processing, some additional infrastructure may be required, particularly in the case of B2B e-invoices. Such infrastructure may imply the use of an external service provider or of a special internal application (14), the use of an electronic signature, etc. Furthermore, according to information available to the Commission, the use of e-invoicing could be associated with a range of value added services (e.g. it allows for automated processing, allows for financing of the payment by third parties — the so-called supply chain financing, etc.) and benefits (e.g. reduced cost both for sender and for the receiver, reduce processing and payment time, reduced archiving costs, allows for payment of discounts if e-invoicing is used instead of paper invoices, etc.). In view of the above, it appears that the characteristics and intended use of paper-based invoices and of e-invoices differ significantly.
(19)
As regards e-invoicing, the Commission notes that, starting January 2014, the e-invoicing became mandatory de jure at federal level in business to government relations. In this case, the substitutability issue is not relevant as the senders do not have the possibility to choose postal delivery. In addition, other similar situations may be found, where e-invoices are made mandatory de facto following a large customer's or a large supplier's request (15).
(20)
The applicant performed a hypothetical monopolist test analysis using survey data collected from 451 Austrian firms. The survey included a set of indirect questions aimed at eliciting the preferences for paper and electronic mail using conjoint analysis techniques. The results would imply that a [… %] (16) increase in postage price would decrease demand for sending letters by [… %]. Although those results would imply that both paper and electronic mail belong to the same relevant market, there are some technical aspects of the design of the survey that cast doubts on the validity of the results. For instance, the set of characteristics to define the products is chosen in a way that could induce some bias in favour of electronic means of communication. The controversial assumptions do not seem to be used in the relevant economic literature applying the conjoint analysis technique and it is not possible to measure their impact on the estimated decrease of [… %].
(21)
The applicant also provided graphs (17) of the evolution of quantities and prices (18) that suggested much smaller sensitivity of quantities to prices than the one reported in the survey analysis. In order to clarify this apparent contradiction, the applicant was asked to provide the real data used to produce the graphs and to quantify the sensitivity of demand. The sensitivity of demand calculated by the applicant using the real data ranged between [… %] and [… %], depending on the technique used. Nevertheless, the applicant did not use the standard econometric analysis (19) to produce those results. The preliminary results of a separate analysis conducted by our services using the same data set and standard econometric techniques for demand estimation in the economics literature suggest that the sensitivity of quantities to price changes could be as low as [… %].
(22)
Therefore, there is not robust and conclusive evidence that electronic and postal delivery are actual substitutes.
(23)
Customers, both business and private customers, who cannot or who are not willing to switch to electronic communication will remain as a segmented, captured market that will presumably only be served by the applicant. Austrian Post currently holds a large majority of the market for paper mail (20). The fixed costs of entry and operation of the network required to deliver the service can be seen as a barrier to entry and to competition. This position of Austrian Post is not likely to be contested in a future shrinking market situation, where potential entrants could expect, as compared to current market conditions, to have even more difficulties in making a profit given the amount of fixed costs to recover. In that virtually monopolistic situation, it cannot be assumed that the national incumbent would have strong incentives or constraints that would force it to behave competitively in the procurement of its inputs.
(24)
Austrian Post would be able to pass the cost increases on to the customers (21) who, given their intrinsic preference for postal delivery, would have no other choice than assuming the price increase. For the same reason, the clearly dominant position of Austrian Post does not guarantee that potential cost decreases will be passed on to customers.
(25)
The applicant's assertion that electronic and postal delivery belong to the same relevant market, therefore cannot be accepted.
(26)
While a main effect of the increasing use of electronic means of communication is the reduction of the overall size of the letters market, it cannot be concluded that electronic communication introduced direct competition within the market of postal delivery.
(27)
Further distinction could be also envisaged on the basis of the type of consignees: within the B2X segment, a distinction between deliveries to businesses (B2B) and to customers (B2C) since B2C delivery requires a denser network than B2B deliveries.
(28)
Nevertheless, it appears that in both scenarios (if B2B and B2C are considered two separate markets or only one market B2X) the result of the assessment of the competitive situation would be the same.
(29)
The applicant considers that the postal services for addressed letters B2X domestic and inbound (22) are part of the same market. Since the result of the assessment would be the same, whether we consider them separately or in the same market, no distinction will be made for the purpose of this Decision and the precise definition of the relevant market will be left open in this respect.
(30)
Based on the information above, for the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, it can be considered that the relevant product market is the market for postal services for addressed letters B2X, while the precise definition of the relevant market can be left open.
(31)
According to the information available (23), Austrian Post has a very strong position in that market with an estimated market share of [… %].
(32)
The Commission notes that the postal market has been fully liberalised from January 2011, in line with Directive 2008/6/EC, and that the liberalisation has until now resulted in competitors gaining an aggregate estimated market share of just [… %] even in the most readily competitive segment (B2X addressed letter services).
(33)
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the category of services in question is directly exposed to competition in Austria. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Postal services for addressed letters C2X on a national level (‘domestic’ and ‘inbound’)
(34)
In the case of postal services for addressed letters C2X the applicant also argues that both modes of delivery, electronic and postal, belong to the same market. That assertion is not in line with the Commission precedents.
(35)
The Austrian authorities were invited (24) to express their views with regard to the substitution between electronic and postal delivery in case of addressed letters C2X, and more precisely on the definition of the relevant product market. The Austrian authorities could not provide additional information (25) to support the applicant's assertions.
(36)
The applicant argues that internet and broadband penetration is very high in Austria and this implies the substitutability of postal delivery by the electronic means of communication. However, according to a recent study (26), almost 30 % of the population in Austria never used internet, around 55 % of the population does not use internet banking and 75 % does not fill in administrative forms online.
(37)
No further empirical evidence was provided by the applicant to support its assertions, and to demonstrate the substitutability.
(38)
Having due regard to the above, it cannot be concluded that electronic and postal delivery for addressed letters C2X belong to the same relevant market.
(39)
For the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, it can be considered that the relevant product market is postal services for addressed letters C2X.
(40)
According to available information (27), Austrian Post market share was around [… %].
(41)
The market has been fully liberalised from January 2011, in line with Directive 2008/6/EC. The Commission notes that the liberalisation has until now only resulted in competitors gaining an aggregate estimated market share of just [… %].
(42)
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the category of services in question is directly exposed to competition in Austria. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Cross-border postal services for addressed (‘outbound’) B2X and C2X letters
(43)
The applicant argues that also for this market the delivery mode of cross-border mail is technologically neutral and that electronic and postal delivery services belong to the same relevant market. That assertion cannot be accepted essentially for the same reasons as described in relation to postal services for domestic and inbound addressed letters B2X and C2X.
(44)
Previous Commission decisions (28) make a distinction between inbound cross-border mail services and outbound cross-border mail services.
(45)
As explained in recital 29, for the purposes of this Decision, the inbound mail services were considered as part of the domestic market for postal services for addressed mail for B2X and C2X respectively. Only outbound postal services will therefore be considered the relevant market.
(46)
Competition for cross-border letter post is very different for private persons and for companies. Private persons generally have no real choice but to send international mail with their national universal service provider. The volumes sent by private persons are generally too low to offer incentives for new entrants into the market.
(47)
It is noted that the competitive situation depends also on the size/population of each city due to the fact that cross-border service providers do not maintain a nationwide access network but generally collect the mail directly at the customer's premises.
(48)
Previous Commission practice (29) made a distinction between the cross-border postal services for addressed B2X letters market and the cross-border postal services for addressed C2X letters market.
(49)
There is no evidence that the situation is different in Austria, therefore, for the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, two separate product markets will be considered, namely the cross-border postal services for outbound B2X addressed letters and the cross-border postal services for outbound C2X addressed letters.
(50)
Austrian Post could not provide detailed information (30) on its relevant shares in each market, nor the market shares of its main competitors. In the absence of information on the degree of competition in each of those markets, it is not possible to conclude that the conditions for granting an exemption under Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC to cross-border postal services for outbound B2X addressed letters and to cross-border postal services for outbound C2X addressed letters in Austria are met. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Postal service for addressed advertising letters on a national and international level
(51)
Addressed advertising mail is defined as mail consisting solely of advertising, marketing or publicity material and comprising an identical message. That type of advertising mail, which can be addressed to companies or to private persons, has to have the customer's name and address on, and the customer's agreement to receive such information.
(52)
The applicant states that, the market for addressed advertising mail, could be included in the market for B2X postal services for addressed letters, but did not provide any empirical evidence thereof. The applicant's assertion is not in line with Commission Decision 2007/564/EC (31).
(53)
For the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, it can be considered that the relevant product market is postal service for addressed advertising letters.
(54)
According to the applicant (32), its share of the market for addressed advertising letters is of [… %].
(55)
The postal market for addressed advertising letters has been fully liberalised from January 2011. The Commission notes that the liberalisation has until now resulted in competitors gaining a total aggregated estimated market share of just [… %].
(56)
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the category of services in question is directly exposed to competition in Austria. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Postal services for non-addressed advertising letters, both national and internationally
(57)
Unaddressed advertising mail is characterised by the absence of a particular destination address. It is unsolicited advertising mail, which fulfils certain criteria such as: uniform weight, format, contents and layout for distribution to a group of recipients.
(58)
The applicant defines the relevant product market for unaddressed advertising as including advertisement in other media such as advertisement in daily newspapers as well as weekly regional newspapers. The starting point was the fact that in 2009 the Austrian Cartel Court accepted (33) that both direct advertisement and unaddressed advertisement can be considered part of the same relevant market for freely distributed newspapers. However, the Court recognised the substitutability only for large clients (e.g. large retailers), and made several distinctions in respect of the relevant geographical market (depending on the type of advertising campaign used: local, regional and national).
(59)
The applicant extended that conclusion to all newspapers and implied that the delivery of free/unaddressed mail competes with advertisement in all newspapers. The applicant performed a hypothetical monopolist test analysis using survey data collected from 248 subjects. The results of the test were given due consideration. However, the applicant's far reaching interpretation of the Austria Cartel Court ruling is not in line with Commission precedents (34), according to which different media types (electronic, television, radio or print) are complementary to each other rather than interchangeable with each other.
(60)
The Austrian authorities were invited (35) to express their views with regard to the proposed market definition for unaddressed advertising market, having due regard to the abovementioned Cartel Court ruling and the current legal and factual situation in Austria. The Austrian authorities could not provide additional information (36) to support the applicant's assertions.
(61)
Consequently, the information currently available to the Commission is not conclusive enough to support the market definition proposed by the applicant.
(62)
Therefore, for the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, the relevant product market is defined as postal services for non-addressed advertising letters.
(63)
According to the applicant (37), its market share for non-addressed advertising letters is of [… %]. The applicant could not provide market shares of its individual main competitors. However, according to the available information, most of the competitors do not have national coverage.
(64)
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the category of services in question is directly exposed to competition in Austria. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Postal services for standard delivery of addressed and unaddressed newspapers
(65)
Decision 2007/564/EC made a distinction between early delivery of newspapers and standard delivery.
(66)
The applicant is not active in the early delivery of newspapers (38), but is active in the standard delivery of newspapers.
(67)
For the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, the relevant product market is postal services for standard delivery for addressed and unaddressed newspapers.
(68)
Austrian Post has a share of [… %] of that market (39). The main competitors are the national or regional networks organised by the publishers, which deliver addressed and unaddressed newspapers to households. However, those competitors altogether have a cumulated market share of only [… %].
(69)
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the category of services in question is directly exposed to competition in Austria. Consequently, Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
Management Services for mailrooms
Mailroom Services (‘mailroom management’)
(70)
Mailroom management offers customers a solution for the processing of mail within an organisation. Depending on the relevant demand, customised solutions are elaborated that include the outsourcing of individual activities or even the entire processing of mail.
(71)
The market for mailroom services includes all services that provide support with regard to the internal mail processing within a company. Those internal processes are often outsourced to third parties in order to increase efficiency, and those third parties often combine them with additional activities in order to use the capacity of persons performing that activity to the best possible extent. This is why various office services such as scanning, copying and phone services are provided in addition to the mail processing services.
(72)
Mailroom services can be provided in the form of staff leasing or service contracts. Therefore the market comprises the performance of activities in the form of service contracts as well as staff leasing. The applicant provides those services in the form of service contracts.
(73)
Using market definition for mailroom management services based on the preceding paragraphs, which is without prejudice to competition law, the Austrian Post had, according to the request (40), a market share of [… %] in 2010, [… %] in 2011 and [… %] in 2012.
(74)
The cumulated market share of the first two competitors was [… %] in 2010 and 2011 and [… %] in 2012. At that level they are able to bring a significant competitive pressure on Austrian Post.
(75)
The factors listed in the above two recitals shall therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure of the Austrian Post to competition.
Printing services
(76)
Printing services are defined as printing, inserting into envelopes, logistics and processing of materials needed for recurring business processes (invoices, reminders, mailings, reading protocols and wage slips).
(77)
In order to increase cost efficiency, such internal processes are often outsourced by companies to third parties.
(78)
There is a market for electronic and digital printing processes where the customer transmits the printing data electronically, and all further services for printing, folding, inserting into envelopes, etc. are provided by the service provider. In this way, the customer does not need to purchase the machines required for such services.
(79)
Using market definition for printing services based on the preceding paragraphs, which is without prejudice to competition law, the Austrian Post had, according to the request (41), a market share of [… %] in 2010 and 2011 and [… %] in 2012.
(80)
The relevant Austrian market is highly fragmented. A large number of businesses are active in this market. However, only one competitor holds a market share of more than [… %].
(81)
The factors listed in the above two recitals shall therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure of the Austrian Post to competition.
Value-added services linked with electronic media and provided entirely by such media
Sale of addresses, data and comparison services (‘address trading’)
(82)
The applicant provides a range of address data services to companies which wish to have improved quality data on the stock of addresses of its customers.
(83)
Using market definition for address trading based on the preceding paragraphs, which is without prejudice to competition law, Austrian Post had, according to the available information (42), a market share of [… %] in 2010, [… %] in 2011 and [… %] in 2012. The largest competitor had a market share of [… %] which has been steadily increasing from 2010.
(84)
The factors listed above shall therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure of the Austrian Post to competition.
Electronic mail
(85)
Austrian Post is active on the electronic communication market, where it provides services such as: dispatch module (fully automated, safe delivery of written documents to individual persons); e-invoicing; e-wage slip (wage slips produced directly from the wage accounting system and made available to employees via internet banking). The main part of the business in the electronic mail market is made up by e-invoices.
(86)
Using market definition for electronic mail based on the preceding paragraphs, which is without prejudice to competition law, the applicant had, according to the available information (43), a market share of [… %] in 2010, [… %] in 2011 and [… %] in 2012.
(87)
The factors listed above shall therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure of the Austrian Post to competition.
Philatelic services
(88)
For the purposes of this Decision, and in line with previous Commission practice (44), philatelic services are defined as ‘sales of stamps and stamp related products mainly to collectors of stamps and, to a limited extent, to gift and souvenir buyers’.
(89)
Austrian Post is the company responsible for issuing new special Austrian postal stamps. Foreign postal service providers also issue special stamps for the philatelic market. The philatelic market, however, is not limited to the issue of new special stamps, but includes also stamp trading, by auction houses, stamp traders and online sales and auctions.
(90)
Austrian Post's estimated (45) share in the overall market for philatelic services, a market definition, which is without prejudice to competition law, amounted to [… %] in 2010, [… %] in 2011 and [… %] in 2012.
(91)
This factor should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for philatelic services.
Financial services
(92)
In accordance with point (c) of Article 6(2) of Directive 2004/17/EC, the provision of financial services as defined in the fourth indent of said point (c) is covered by that Directive only to the extent that such services are provided by entities which also provide postal services within the meaning of point (b) of that provision.
(93)
Austrian Post provides the following financial services:
(a)
on its own behalf: payment services — cash collection (on the delivery of parcels ‘Nachnahme’) and debt collection services by post delivery staff ‘Postauftrag’;
(b)
on behalf and for the account of Bank fur Arbeit und Wirtschaft und Österreichische Postsparkasse Aktiengesellschaft (BAWAG PSK): cash withdrawal and cash savings.
(94)
In accordance with Commission precedents (46), for the purposes of this Decision and without prejudice to competition law, it is considered that the relevant product markets are: payment services, cash withdrawal services and services for intermediation of savings accounts.
(95)
Austrian Post provides on its own behalf payment services as listed in point (a) of recital 93. Austrian Post has a market share of less than [… %] and in providing such services is competing with payment services offered by banks and financial institutions, which can bring significant competitive pressure on the Austrian Post.
(96)
Those factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for payment services provided by Austrian Post on its own behalf.
(97)
Austrian Post could not provide (47) its market shares and the market shares of its main competitors, for the services provided on behalf of BAWAG PSK, namely for cash withdrawals and cash savings.
(98)
In the absence of information on the degree of competition in each of those product markets for services provided on behalf of BAWAG PSK, it is not possible to conclude that the conditions for granting an exemption under Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are met. Consequently, Article 30(1) of that Directive does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Austria.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
(99)
In view of the factors examined in recitals 2 to 98, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in respect of the following services provided in Austria:
(a)
management services for mailroom;
(b)
value-added services linked with electronic media and provided entirely by such media;
(c)
philatelic services;
(d)
payment services provided on its own behalf.
(100)
Since the condition of unrestricted access to the market is deemed to be met, Directive 2004/17/EC should not apply when contracting entities award contracts intended to enable the provision of services listed in points (a) to (d) of recital 99 in Austria, nor when design contests are organised for the pursuit of such activities in that Member State.
(101)
This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation from October 2013 to January 2014 as it appears from the information submitted by Austrian Post and the Austrian authorities. It may be revised, should the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC be no longer met, following substantial changes in the legal or factual situation.
(102)
Nevertheless, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered not to be met with respect to the other activities subject to the request of Austrian Post, in the territory of Austria.
(103)
Since some services subject to this request continue to be subject to Directive 2004/17/EC, it is recalled that procurement contracts covering several activities should be treated in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2004/17/EC. This means that, where a contracting entity is engaged in ‘mixed’ procurement, that is procurement used to support the performance of both activities exempted from the application of Directive 2004/17/EC and activities not exempted, regard must be had to the activities for which the contract is principally intended. In the event of such mixed procurement, where the purpose is principally to support activities which were not exempted, the provisions of Directive 2004/17/EC are to be applied. Where it is objectively impossible to determine for which activity the contract is principally intended, the contract is to be awarded in accordance with the rules referred to in Article 9(2) and (3) of Directive 2004/17/EC.
(104)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Directive 2004/17/EC shall not apply to contracts awarded by contracting entities and intended to enable the following services to be carried out in Austria:
(a)
management services for mailroom;
(b)
value-added services linked with electronic media and provided entirely by such media;
(c)
philatelic services;
(d)
payment services provided on its own behalf.

on the interchange standard for the transmission of data required under Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
It follows from Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 that Member States should transmit to the Commission the data and metadata required by the Regulation in accordance with a specified interchange standard and other practical arrangements which should be specified by the Commission.
(2)
Applying a single standard for the exchange and transmission of data for the statistics covered by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 would make a considerable contribution to business process integration in this statistical area.
(3)
The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) initiative on statistical and technical standards for the exchange and sharing of data and metadata was launched by the Bank of International Settlements, the European Central Bank, the Commission (Eurostat), the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations and the World Bank. For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX provides statistical and technical standards, including the SDMX Markup Language, using XML syntax (‘SDMX-ML format’). A new data format and data structure definition designed in accordance with this standard should therefore be introduced. In order to facilitate the transition to the new format, the Commission should, for the first two years after the entry into force of the Regulation, provide Member States with templates, which can be used as inputs to SDMX conversion tools.
(4)
The Commission should make available detailed documentation in relation to the SDMX data structure definitions and supply guidelines on their implementation.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Standard for the transmission of data
Member States shall provide data required by the Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 using SDMX data structure definitions.
Article 2
Technical specifications of data format
Member States shall provide data and metadata in SDMX-ML format.
Article 3
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 September 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1230/2014
of 17 November 2014
concerning the authorisation of copper bilysinate as a feed additive for all animal species
(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.
(2)
In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of copper bilysinate. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3)
That application concerns the authorisation of copper bilysinate as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4)
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 3 July 2014 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, copper bilysinate does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it may be considered as an efficacious source of copper for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5)
The assessment of copper bilysinate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6)
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
The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
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.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 968/2014
of 12 September 2014
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of Croatia
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia (1), and in particular Articles 41 and 16 thereof in conjunction with point 4 of Section 3(a) of Annex IV thereto,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 (2) lays down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of Croatia to the Union. Section 2 of Chapter II of that Regulation deals with the determination and elimination of surplus quantities of sugar present in Croatia at the date of its accession. In particular it sets deadlines for the determination of the surplus sugar quantities, for their elimination and for the proofs of elimination to be provided by identified operators in Croatia. It also fixes reference periods to be used in the calculation of charges for Croatia if surplus sugar quantities are not eliminated.
(2)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 50/2014 (3) extended the deadlines set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 as far as they concern the determination of surplus quantities of sugar due to the time required for thorough analysis of the information communicated by Croatia and discussion with that Member State and in order to ensure correct application of Chapter II, Section 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013. In light of further information provided by Croatia it appears that the extension of the deadlines made by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 50/2014 is not sufficient and that, therefore, it is necessary to further extend those deadlines.
(3)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (2) states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 11 00, 1001 19 00, ex 1001 91 20 [common wheat seed], ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the CIF import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2)
Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 lays down that, for the purposes of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative CIF import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products referred to in that paragraph.
(3)
Under Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the import price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products referred to in Article 1(1) of that Regulation is the daily CIF representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(4)
Import duties should be fixed for the period from 8 November 2014 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.
(5)
Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

REGULATION (EU) No 1144/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 22 October 2014
on information provision and promotion measures concerning agricultural products implemented in the internal market and in third countries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 3/2008
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 42 and 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 (4), the Union may implement information provision and promotion measures in the internal market and in third countries for agricultural products and their production methods and for certain food products based on agricultural products.
(2)
In view of the experience gained and the likely developments in the agricultural sector and on markets both inside and outside the Union, the scheme established by Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 should be reviewed and made more coherent and effective. Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 should therefore be repealed and replaced with a new regulation.
(3)
The objective of such information provision and promotion measures is to enhance the competitiveness of the Union agricultural sector, thereby bringing about greater competitive equity both in the internal market and in third countries. More specifically, the information provision and promotion measures should aim to increase consumers’ awareness of the merits of the Union’s agricultural products and production methods and to increase the awareness and recognition of Union quality schemes. Moreover, they should increase the competitiveness and consumption of Union agricultural products, raise their profile both inside and outside the Union and increase the market share of those products, with a special focus on those markets in third countries that have the highest growth potential. In the event of serious market disturbance, loss of consumer confidence or other specific problems, those measures should help restore normal market conditions. Such information provision and promotion measures should usefully complement and reinforce the measures implemented by the Member States. In order to achieve their objectives, information provision and promotion measures should continue to be implemented both inside and outside the Union.
(4)
Measures should also aim to enhance the authenticity of Union products so as to improve consumers’ awareness of the qualities of genuine products as compared to imitations and counterfeit products; this would contribute significantly to awareness, both in the Union and in third countries, of the symbols, indications and abbreviations demonstrating participation in the European quality schemes established by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
(5)
One of the Union’s strengths in food production lies in the diversity of its products and in their specific characteristics which are linked to different geographical areas and different traditional methods and which provide unique flavours, offering the variety and authenticity that consumers increasingly look for, both inside and outside the Union.
(6)
In addition to information on the intrinsic features of Union’s agricultural and food products, the eligible measures may also communicate consumer-friendly messages, focusing, inter alia, on nutrition, taste, tradition, diversity and culture.
(7)
Information provision and promotion measures should not be brand- or origin-oriented. Nevertheless, in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of demonstrations, tastings and information and promotion material, it should be possible to mention the commercial brands and product origin, provided that the principle of non-discrimination is respected and that the measures are not aimed at encouraging the consumption of any product on the sole ground of its origin. Furthermore, such measures should respect general principles of Union law and should not amount to a restriction of the free movement of agricultural and food products in breach of Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Specific rules should be laid down on the visibility of brands and origin in relation to the main Union message of a campaign.
(8)
The Union mainly exports final agricultural products, including agricultural products not included in Annex I to the TFEU. The information provision and promotion measures should therefore be opened up to include certain products outside the scope of Annex I to the TFEU. This would be consistent with other schemes of the common agricultural policy (CAP), such as the European quality schemes, which are already open to such products.
(9)
The Union’s information provision and promotion measures relating to wine under the CAP represent one of the landmarks of the aid programmes available to the wine sector. Only wine with designation of origin or protected geographical indication status and wine carrying an indication of the wine grape variety should be the subject of the information provision and promotion measures. In the case of simple programmes, the programme in question should also cover another agricultural or food product. Similarly, Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) provides for the promotion of fishery and aquaculture products. Consequently, the eligibility of fishery and aquaculture products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), for the information provision and promotion measures provided for under this scheme should be limited exclusively to fishery and aquaculture products which are associated with another agricultural or food product.
(10)
Products covered by Union quality schemes and quality schemes recognised by Member States should be eligible for information provision and promotion measures since such schemes provide consumers with assurances on the quality and characteristics of the product or the production process used, achieve added value for the products concerned and enhance their market opportunities. Similarly, the organic production method, as well as the logo for quality agricultural products specific to the outermost regions should be eligible for information provision and promotion measures.
(11)
Over the period 2001-2011, only 30 % of the budget earmarked for information provision and promotion measures was spent on measures targeting third-country markets, even though those markets offer major growth potential. Arrangements are therefore needed in order to encourage a larger number of information provision and promotion measures for Union agricultural products in third countries, in particular by providing increased financial support.
(12)
In order to guarantee the effectiveness of the information provision and promotion measures that are implemented, they should be developed in the context of information and promotion programmes. Such programmes have hitherto been submitted by trade and/or inter-trade organisations. In order to increase the number of measures proposed and to improve their quality, the range of beneficiaries should be widened to include producer organisations and their associations, groups and bodies of the agri-food sector which have as their objective and activity the provision of information on and the promotion of agricultural products.
(13)
The information provision and promotion measures co-financed by the Union should demonstrate a specific Union dimension. To that end, and in order to avoid a dispersion of resources and to increase Europe’s visibility through these information provision and promotion measures for agricultural products and certain food products, it is necessary to establish a work programme which defines the strategic priorities for these measures in terms of populations, products, schemes or markets to be targeted and the nature of the information and promotion messages to be imparted. The programme should be developed on the basis of the general and specific objectives established under this Regulation, and should take into account the possibilities offered by the markets and the need to complement and reinforce the actions implemented by Member States and operators, both in the internal market and in third countries, in order to ensure that promotion and information policy is cohesive. To this end, when designing that programme, the Commission should consult Member States and relevant stakeholders.
(14)
The work programme should provide, inter alia, for specific arrangements in order to react in the event of serious market disturbance, loss of consumer confidence, or other specific problems. Additionally the Commission should take particular account of the predominant position of small and medium-enterprises in the agri-food sector, a sector which benefits from the exceptional measures provided for in Articles 219, 220 and 221 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), and, for measures targeting third countries, of free-trade agreements falling within the scope of the common commercial policy of the Union. When designing that programme, the Commission should also take into account the handicaps of mountain areas, islands and outermost regions of the Union.
(15)
In order to ensure that information provision and promotion measures are implemented effectively, they should be entrusted to implementing bodies selected through a competitive procedure. Nevertheless, in duly justified cases, proposing organisations should have the possibility to directly implement certain parts of their programme.
(16)
The Commission should be able to carry out information and promotion measures on its own initiative, including high-level missions, particularly with a view to contributing to the opening-up of new markets. The Commission should also be able to conduct its own campaigns to provide a prompt and effective response in the event of serious market disturbance or loss of consumer confidence. If necessary, the Commission should revise its own initiatives that plan to implement such campaigns. Appropriations allocated to on-going information and promotion programmes, both simple or multi, should not be reduced in the event of action undertaken by the Commission under these circumstances.
(17)
Over and above the information provision and promotion measures, the Commission needs to develop and coordinate technical support services at Union level with the aim of helping operators to take part in co-financed programmes, to conduct effective campaigns or to develop their export activities. Those services should in particular include the provision of guidelines to help potential beneficiaries to comply with the rules and procedures related to this policy.
(18)
Efforts to promote Union products on third country markets are sometimes prejudiced by the competition they face from imitation and counterfeit products. The technical support services developed by the Commission would include advice for the sector with regard to protecting Union products from imitation and counterfeit practices.
(19)
Simplification of the regulatory environment of the CAP is an important priority for the Union. Such an approach should also be applied to this Regulation. In particular, the principles of administrative management of information and promotion programmes should be reviewed with the aim of simplifying them and enabling the Commission to establish the rules and procedures applicable to the submission, evaluation and selection of proposals for programmes. The Commission should ensure, however, that Member States receive timely information on all programmes proposed and selected. That information should in particular include the number of proposals received, the Member States and sectors concerned, and the outcome of the evaluation of those proposals.
(20)
Cooperation between economic operators in different Member States contributes greatly to increasing the Union added value and to highlighting the diversity of Union agricultural products. Despite the priority given to programmes developed jointly by proposing organisations in different Member States, such programmes accounted in the period 2001-2011 for only 16 % of the budget earmarked for information provision and promotion measures. Consequently, new arrangements should be introduced, particularly as regards the management of multi programmes, in order to overcome existing obstacles to their implementation.
(21)
Financing rules should be set. As a general rule, in order to ensure that interested proposing organisations assume their share of the responsibilities, the Union should cover only part of the cost of programmes. However, certain administrative and staff costs, which are not linked to implementation of the CAP, form an integral part of information provision and promotion measures and should be eligible for Union funding.
(22)
Each measure should be subject to monitoring and evaluation in order to improve its quality and demonstrate its achievements. In this context, a list of indicators should be determined and the impact of the promotion policy assessed in relation to its strategic objectives. The Commission should establish a monitoring and evaluation framework for this policy which is consistent with the common monitoring and evaluation framework of the CAP.
(23)
In order to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of this Regulation, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission. That empowerment should cover supplementing the list in Annex I to this Regulation, the criteria for determining the eligibility of proposing organisations, the conditions governing the competitive procedure for the selection of implementing bodies, the specific conditions for eligibility with regard to simple programmes, the costs of information provision and promotion measures and administrative and staff costs and provisions to facilitate the transition from Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 to this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(24)
In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission concerning detailed rules on the visibility of commercial brands during product demonstrations or tastings and on information and promotion material, and on the visibility of the origin of products on information and promotion material; the annual work programmes; the selection of simple programmes; detailed rules under which a proposing organisation may be authorised to implement certain parts of a simple programme itself; the arrangements for implementation, monitoring and control of simple programmes; the rules concerning the conclusion of contracts for the implementation of simple programmes selected in accordance with this Regulation; and the common impact assessment framework for programmes, as well as a system of indicators. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9).
(25)
Since, given the links that exist between the promotion policy and the other instruments of the CAP, and taking into account the multiannual guarantee of Union funding and its concentration on clearly defined priorities, the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather be more effectively achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
CHAPTER I

(a)
in the internal market, the mention of the origin must always be secondary in relation to the main Union message of the campaign.
(b)
in third countries, the mention of the origin may be on the same level as the main Union message of the campaign.
(c)
for products recognised under the quality schemes referred to in point (a) of Article 5(4), the origin registered in the denomination may be mentioned without any restriction.
3. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts, laying down detailed rules concerning:
(a)
the visibility of commercial brands during demonstrations or tastings and on information and promotional material, as referred to in paragraph 1, as well as the uniform conditions under which a single brand may be displayed; and
(b)
the visibility of the origin of products on information and promotional material as referred to in paragraph 2.
Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 23(2).

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 157/2014
of 30 October 2013
on the conditions for making a declaration of performance on construction products available on a website
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 7(3) in conjunction with Article 60(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 obliges manufacturers of construction products to draw up a declaration of performance when a construction product that is covered by a harmonised standard or conforms to a European Technical Assessment issued for that product is placed on the market. A copy of that declaration should be supplied either in paper form or by electronic means.
(2)
In accordance with Article 7(3) and Article 60(b) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, the Commission is delegated the task of setting out the conditions governing the electronic processing of the declarations of performance in order that they may be made available on a website. Those conditions for making the declarations of performance available online permit the use of new information technologies and reduce costs to manufacturers of construction products and the construction sector as a whole.
(3)
Taking into account the potential specific needs of the recipients of construction products, especially the micro-enterprises amongst them, and in particular those operating in construction sites without internet access, this delegated act should not be extended to comprise any derogation from Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(4)
In order to ensure that the electronic form of a declaration of performance corresponding to a particular product is readily identifiable, manufacturers should link every single product, or batch of the same product, they are placing on the market to a given declaration of performance by means of the unique identification code of the product-type, which should be mentioned in the declaration of performance in accordance with Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(5)
For the purpose of alleviating the administrative burden involved in the provision of declarations of performance, while also ensuring the continued reliability of the information provided in such declarations, the electronic form of a declaration of performance should not be altered after it has been made available online and should remain accessible for at least a period of 10 years after the construction product has been placed on the market or such other period that may apply by virtue of the second subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(6)
The website on which the declaration of performance is made available should be subject to monitoring and maintenance to ensure, insofar as possible, that it is kept continuously accessible and does not become unavailable as a result of technical malfunction.
(7)
The website on which the declaration of performance is made available should be accessible free of charge to the recipients of construction products. Those recipients should be instructed on how to access the website and the electronic form of the declaration of performance.
(8)
In order to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the European construction sector as a whole, economic operators providing declarations of performance wishing to benefit from new information technologies for the purposes of facilitating the provision of such declarations should be able to do so as soon as possible,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Economic operators may make available a declaration of performance referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 on a website, by virtue of derogation from Article 7(1) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, provided that they comply with all of the following conditions:
(a)
they shall ensure that the content of a declaration of performance is not altered after it has been made available on the website;
(b)
they shall ensure that the website where the declarations of performance drawn up for construction products have been made available is monitored and maintained so that the website and the declarations of performance are continuously available to recipients of construction products;
(c)
they shall ensure that the declaration of performance may be accessed by the recipients of construction products free of charge for a period of 10 years after the construction product has been placed on the market, or for such other period that may be applicable in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011;
(d)
they shall provide instructions to the recipients of construction products on how to access the website and the declarations of performance drawn up for such products available on that website.
2. Manufacturers shall ensure that every single product, or batch of the same product, they are placing on the market is linked to a given declaration of performance by means of the unique identification code of the product-type.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

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)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Directive 2008/125/EC (2) included tebuconazole as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) for use as a fungicide, under the condition that the Member States concerned ensure that the notifiers at whose request tebuconazole was included in that Annex provides further confirmatory information in the form of studies on the risk for birds and mammals.
(2)
Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).
(3)
On 8 April 2010 one of the notifiers at whose request tebuconazole was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, submitted an application for an amendment to the conditions of approval of the active substance tebuconazole to allow uses as a plant growth regulator to be authorised without restriction. That application was accompanied by information relating to the requested additional supported use as plant growth regulator in oilseed rape. It was submitted to Denmark, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation No. 1490/2002 (5).
(4)
Denmark assessed the information submitted by the notifier. It submitted its assessment, in the form of an addendum to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 23 July 2012.
(5)
The Commission consulted the Authority which presented its opinion on the risk assessment of tebuconazole on 9 December 2013 (6). The draft assessment report, the addendum and the opinion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 11 July 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for tebuconazole.
(6)
The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the review report for tebuconazole.
(7)
The Commission has come to the conclusion that allowing uses as a plant growth regulator to be authorised without restriction does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the approval of tebuconazole and in the Commission review report for that substance.
(8)
It is appropriate to extend the approval of tebuconazole to cover uses as a plant growth regulator without restriction. However, in order to take into account the remaining uncertainty on the potential for groundwater exposure of the metabolite 1,2,4-triazole for the representative spray uses on cereals, as a barley seed treatment and on grapes, Member States should pay particular attention to the potential for groundwater contamination, when the active substance is applied in regions with vulnerable soil or climatic conditions, in particular as regards the occurrence in groundwater of the metabolite 1,2,4-triazole.
(9)
In January 2014, Denmark finalized the evaluation of the confirmatory information as regards the risk to birds and mammals. The Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed agrees that, on the basis of the current outcome, the risk to birds and mammals is acceptable. Therefore, the conclusions of the original risk assessment are not substantially affected by the evaluation of the submitted confirmatory data. No further review by the Authority has been considered necessary.
(10)
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11)
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
Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 540/2011
Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
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.

REGULATION (EU) No 283/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 March 2014
on guidelines for trans-European networks in the area of telecommunications infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1336/97/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 172 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinions of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinions of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1)
Telecommunications networks and services are increasingly becoming internet-based infrastructures, with broadband networks and digital services closely interrelated. The internet is becoming the dominant platform for communication, services, education, participation in social and political life, cultural content, and business. Therefore, the trans-European availability of widespread, high-speed, secure internet access and digital services in the public interest is essential for social and economic growth, competitiveness, social inclusion and the internal market.
(2)
On 17 June 2010, the European Council endorsed the Commission communication of 26 August 2010 on a Digital Agenda for Europe, which aims to chart a course to maximise the social and economic potential of information and communication technologies. It seeks to stimulate supply and demand of competitive high-speed internet infrastructure and internet-based digital services with a view to advancing towards a true Digital Single Market, which is essential for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
(3)
Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) determines the conditions, methods and procedures for providing Union financial assistance to trans-European networks in the sectors of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructures. Given that there are similar challenges and opportunities in the sectors covered by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), there is significant scope for exploiting synergies, including by combining CEF funding with other sources of funding.
(4)
A large number of cross-border digital services implementing exchanges between European public administrations in support of Union policies are a reality. When providing new solutions, it is important to capitalise on existing solutions implemented in the context of other European initiatives, avoid duplication of work, and ensure coordination and alignment of approaches and solutions across initiatives and policies, such as for instance the ISA programme established by Decision No 922/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), the Fiscalis programme established by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), and Horizon 2020 established by Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). Similarly, it is important that solutions comply with agreed international and/or European standards or with open specifications for interoperability, particularly those identified by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), and other relevant specifications and orientations, such as the European Interoperability Framework for European public services (EIF).
(5)
The development of high-speed broadband networks will benefit from European technical standards. Union research and development programmes and increased monitoring of standardisation procedures are needed if the Union is to play a pivotal role in the telecommunications industry.
(6)
Large scale pilot projects between Member States and co-financed by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (9), such as PEPPOL, STORK, epSOS, eCODEX or SPOCS, have validated key cross-border digital services in the internal market, based on common building blocks, which are being consolidated by the project eSENS. Those pilot projects have already reached or will in the near future reach the maturity level required for deployment. Existing projects of common interest have already demonstrated the clear added value of action at European level, such as in the fields of cultural heritage (Europeana), child protection (Safer Internet), social security (EESSI), while others such as in the field of consumer protection (ODR) have been proposed.
(7)
With regard to digital service infrastructures, building blocks should take priority over other digital service infrastructures, since the former are a pre-condition for the latter. Digital service infrastructures should, inter alia, create European added value and meet proven needs. They should be sufficiently mature for deployment, technically as well as operationally, as proven in particular through successful piloting. They should be based on a concrete sustainability plan to ensure the medium to long-term operation of core service platforms beyond the CEF. Financial assistance under this Regulation should therefore, wherever possible, be phased out over time and funding from sources other than the CEF should be mobilised, where appropriate.
(8)
It is important that digital service infrastructures that are necessary to meet legal obligations under Union law and/or are developing or providing building blocks, with a potential high impact on the development of pan-European public services, be funded so as to support multiple digital service infrastructures and, over time, gradually build up a European interoperability ecosystem. In this context, legal obligations mean specific provisions requiring either developing or using digital service infrastructures, or requiring results which can only be achieved through European digital service infrastructures.
(9)
As well-established digital service infrastructure, Europeana and Safer Internet for Children should have priority for funding. In particular, the continuity in Union funding from other Union programmes to CEF should be ensured in the first years of the multiannual financial framework for the period 2014-2020 laid down in Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (10) in order to allow for uninterrupted and successful delivery of service at the same level as provided for under the current funding scheme. On 10 May 2012, the Council underlined the vital importance of ensuring the long-term viability of Europeana, including in terms of governance and funding. (11)
(10)
A safe, inclusive and positive online environment for children and young people should be ensured. As a crucial measure to protect and promote children's rights in the online environment, the functioning of the Safer Internet Program should be ensured after 2014. By implementing this Regulation, the implementation of the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Children at Union as well as at Member State level should be financially supported, in particular as regards Safer Internet Centres (SICs) in the Member States. Activities of SICs, including awareness nodes and other awareness-raising activities, helplines for children, parents and carers on the best means for children to use the Internet, as well as hotlines for reporting child sexual abuse content on the Internet, are a key element and prerequisite for the success of that strategy.
(11)
A future legal act of the Union on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market is to determine the detailed requirements and conditions for the mutual recognition of key enablers, referred to hereinafter as the building blocks of the digital service infrastructures. That act will cover several of the most important building blocks, for example electronic identification and electronic signature as part of the projects of common interest set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(12)
Digital service infrastructures implemented in accordance with Decision No 922/2009/EC will facilitate the electronic cross-border and cross-sector interaction between European public administrations. This, in turn, will enable the provision of essential services in, inter alia, areas such as electronic identification and authentication and procurement, cross-border interconnection of business registers, interoperable electronic cross-border health services, as well as cross-border cooperation on cyber security, thereby contributing to the Digital Single Market. Such interaction between administrations will be achieved through the creation and/or enhancement of interoperable core service platforms, built on existing common building blocks and/or providing additional building blocks essential for the development of other core service platforms, and related generic services linking national infrastructures to core service platforms to deliver cross-border digital services.
(13)
Member States should encourage local and regional authorities to be fully and effectively involved in the governance of digital service infrastructures, and ensure that projects of common interest relating to cross-border delivery of eGovernment services take into account the EIF recommendations.
(14)
In its resolution of 6 July 2011 on European Broadband: investing in digitally driven growth (12), the European Parliament emphasised that broadband services are key to the competitiveness of Union industry and greatly contribute to Union economic growth, social cohesion and the creation of quality employment. Investment in state-of-the-art and future-proof technology is crucial if the Union is to be home to innovation, knowledge and services.
(15)
A European market with nearly 500 million people connected to high-speed broadband would act as a spearhead for the development of the internal market, creating a globally unique critical mass of users exposing all regions to new opportunities and giving each user increased value, as well as giving the Union the capacity to be a world-leading knowledge-based economy. A rapid deployment of high-speed broadband networks is crucial for the development of Union productivity and for the emergence of new and small enterprises that can be leaders in different sectors such as health care, manufacturing and the service industries.
(16)
The combination of new opportunities in infrastructure and new, innovative and interoperable services should set in motion a virtuous circle by stimulating increasing demand for high-speed broadband to which, in commercial terms, it would be advisable to respond.
(17)
The Digital Agenda for Europe stipulates that by 2020 all Europeans should have access to internet speeds of above 30 Mbps and 50 % or more of European households should subscribe to internet connections above 100 Mbps.
(18)
Given the rapid development of digital services and applications demanding ever faster internet connections and the rapid evolution of state-of-the-art technologies allowing it, it is appropriate in the framework of an evaluation of the Digital Agenda for Europe to consider the revision of broadband targets for 2020 so as to ensure that the Union has competitive broadband speeds when compared to other economies in the world.
(19)
Part of the broadband projects should demonstrate higher ambitions, aiming at higher speeds and thus serve as pilot projects for faster connectivity and models with potential for replicability.
(20)
In its resolution of 12 September 2013 on the Digital Agenda for Growth, Mobility and Employment, time to move up a gear, the European Parliament emphasised that a revised forward-looking Digital Agenda for Europe target for 2020 is to connect all Union households with broadband connections delivering 100 Mbps, with 50 % of households subscribing to 1 Gbps or more.
(21)
The private sector should play the leading role in rolling out and modernising broadband networks, supported by a competitive and investment-friendly regulatory framework. Where private investment falls short, Member States should make the necessary efforts to achieve the targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe. Public financial assistance to broadband should be limited to programmes or initiatives targeting projects which cannot be solely financed by the private sector, confirmed by an ex-ante assessment identifying market failures or sub-optimal investment situations, in accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13).
(22)
Financial instruments for broadband networks are not to unduly distort competition, crowd out private investments or create disincentives for private operators to invest. In particular, they are to be in compliance with Articles 101, 102, 106 and 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as well as, if relevant, with the EU Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to the rapid deployment of broadband networks.
(23)
Public funding for broadband networks is to be spent solely on infrastructures which comply with the applicable law, in particular with competition law, and with access obligations in accordance with Directive 2002/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (14).
(24)
Since the financial resources available under CEF are limited, financial assistance should focus on the establishment of financing mechanisms at Union level to attract additional investments, promote a multiplier effect, and so facilitate the efficient use of private and other public funds for investment. This approach allows for contributions from business and institutional players well beyond the funding levels directly eligible through CEF.
(25)
In view of limited financial resources under CEF and in order to ensure appropriate funding for digital service infrastructures, the total budgetary allocation to broadband should not exceed the minimum amount necessary to establish a cost-efficient intervention, which should be determined by an ex-ante assessment taking into account, inter alia, the type of envisaged financial instruments, potential leverage effect for the minimum efficient project portfolio, and market conditions.
(26)
The CEF support to broadband deployment should complement assistance provided under other Union programmes and initiatives, including the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds), in cases where an ex-ante assessment identifies market failures or sub-optimal investment situations and where so decided by managing authorities. CEF financial assistance to broadband deployment should contribute to Member States' efforts both directly and by providing an investment vehicle for voluntary, ring-fenced contributions from other sources, including ESI Funds, thus allowing Member States to take advantage of the know-how and scale-effects of Union-managed facilities with a view to increasing the efficiency of public spending.
(27)
In order to ensure best value for money and given the limited resources, CEF funding should be available for projects which rely on the technology best suited for the specific project, can help spur innovative business models and show a high potential for replication. Where projects are funded through voluntary contributions under CEF, such as ESI Funds or through national or regional funding, eligibility criteria should be more flexible and take account of the specific situation and conditions in the areas that such funding is intended to serve.
(28)
The Union may support the deployment of broadband networks contributing to the objectives of the Digital Agenda for Europe in all types of areas. The reduction of the digital divide and the increase in digital inclusion are important objectives of the Digital Agenda for Europe. All the Union's actions in the field of broadband should therefore address the special needs of suburban, rural, and in particular sparsely populated and less developed regions, which need to be served with connections. This includes the deployment of broadband networks to link islands, landlocked, mountainous, remote and peripheral regions, including island Member States, with the central regions of the Union and/or actions to improve the reliability or performance of connections between such regions and central regions of the Union.
(29)
In order to complete the Digital Single Market, compatibility between the CEF and national and regional broadband actions should be encouraged.
(30)
In implementing this Regulation, the forms of financial assistance should be aligned with the characteristics of the actions in question. Thus, in the field of digital service infrastructures, core service platforms which cannot be funded from other sources should be prioritised for funding in the form of procurement or, exceptionally, grants, while generic services should be given only limited financial assistance from the CEF. Furthermore, any financial assistance from the CEF should aim at efficient use of the Union's funds and, therefore, broadband networks should be supported by financial instruments, which ensure a higher leverage effect than grants.
(31)
Intervention under this Regulation should aim at achieving synergies and interoperability between the different projects of common interest described in the Annex, as well as with other infrastructures, including transport and energy infrastructures supported by the CEF, relevant research infrastructures supported, inter alia, by Horizon 2020 and relevant infrastructures supported by ESI Funds, while avoiding duplication and undue administrative burdens.
(32)
Financial assistance to projects of common interest should be complemented by horizontal actions, including technical assistance, demand stimulation measures and coordination, which should aim to maximise the impact of Union intervention.
(33)
When committing funds to intervention in broadband networks, the Commission should take due account of the results of the evaluations of existing Union financial instruments.
(34)
The Commission should be assisted by an Expert Group of representatives of all Member States which should be consulted on and contribute to, inter alia, monitoring of the implementation of this Regulation, planning, evaluation and addressing implementation problems.
(35)
The Expert Group should also cooperate with those entities involved in the implementation of this Regulation, such as local and regional authorities, internet access providers, public network administrators and component manufacturers as well as national regulatory authorities and the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC), established by Regulation (EC) No 1211/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (15).
(36)
Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 establishes the CEF Coordination Committee, which is also a committee within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (16). Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 also confers upon the Commission the powers to adopt in accordance with the examination procedure annual and multiannual work programmes, including in the telecommunications sector, the latter being subject to this Regulation. It is important to clarify in this regard that Member States, when discussing issues related to this Regulation, in particular draft annual and multiannual work programmes, should be represented in the CEF Coordination Committee by experts in the telecommunications infrastructure sector.
(37)
Since the objectives of this Regulation, in particular the coordinated development of the trans-European networks in the area of telecommunications infrastructure, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the cross-border character of the supported infrastructures, and effects on the entire territory of the Union, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(38)
In order to support projects of common interest in the sectors of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructures, Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 determines the conditions, methods and procedures for providing Union financial assistance to trans-European networks. It also establishes the breakdown of the resources to be available under Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 in all three sectors. Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 is applicable from 1 January 2014. It is thus appropriate to align the application of this Regulation with the application of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 and with Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013. Therefore, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2014.
(39)
Decision No 1336/97/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (17) should be repealed,

ANNEX
PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST
SECTION 1. DIGITAL SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURES
Interventions in the area of digital service infrastructure generally rely on a two-layer architecture approach: core service platforms and generic services. The core service platform is a pre-condition for establishing a digital service infrastructure.
The core service platforms address the interoperability and security needs of projects of common interest. They are intended to enable digital interactions between public authorities and citizens, between public authorities and businesses and organisations, or between public authorities of different Member States through standardised, cross-border, and user-friendly interaction platforms.
Building block digital service infrastructures take priority over other digital service infrastructures, since the former are a pre-condition for the latter. The generic services provide the connection to the core service platforms and enable the national added value services to use the core service platforms. They provide gateways between national services and core service platforms and allow national public authorities and organisations, businesses and/or citizens to access the core service platform for their cross-border transactions. The quality of the services and the support for stakeholders involved in cross-border transactions must be ensured. They must support and stimulate the take-up of core service platforms.
The focus must not be entirely on the creation of digital service infrastructures and related services but also on the governance relating to the operation of such platforms.
New core service platforms must mainly be based on existing platforms and their building blocks and/or, when possible, must add new building blocks.
1.
The building blocks identified to be included in the work programmes, subject to Article 6 (1) and (3), are the following:
(a)
Electronic identification, and authentication: this refers to services to enable cross-border recognition and validation of e-identification and e-signature.
(b)
Electronic delivery of documents: this refers to services for the secure, traceable cross-border transmission of electronic documents.
(c)
Automated translation: this refers to machine-translation engines and specialised language resources including the necessary tools and programming interfaces needed to operate pan-European digital services in a multilingual environment.
(d)
Critical digital infrastructures support: this refers to communication channels and platforms intended to enhance the Union-wide capability for preparedness, information sharing, coordination and response to cyber threats.
(e)
Electronic invoicing: this refers to services enabling secure electronic exchange of invoices.
2.
Well-established digital service infrastructures particularly identified to be eligible for funding contributing to uninterrupted service, subject to Article 6(1):
(a)
Access to digital resources of European heritage. This refers to the core service platform based on the current Europeana portal. The platform provides the access point to Europeana cultural heritage content at item level, a set of interface specifications to interact with the infrastructure (search for data, download data), support for the metadata adaptation and ingestion of new content, as well as information on conditions for reuse of the content accessible through the infrastructure.
(b)
Safer internet service infrastructure. This refers to the platform for acquiring, operating and maintaining shared computing facilities, databases, software tools and exchange of best practices for the Safer Internet Centres (SICs) in the Member States. Back-office operations to handle reporting of child sexual abuse content on the Internet are also included, as well as the link with police authorities including international organisations such as Interpol, and when appropriate, the handling of the take-down of this content by the relevant web sites. This will be supported by common databases and by common software systems. SICs and their relevant activities such as helplines, hotlines, awareness nodes and other awareness raising activities represent the key element of the Safer Internet infrastructure.
3.
Other digital service infrastructures identified to be eligible for funding subject to Article 6(1):
(a)
Interoperable cross-border electronic procurement services. This refers to a set of services which can be used by public and private sector e-procurement services providers to set up cross-border e-procurement platforms. This infrastructure will enable any company in the Union to respond to public procurement procedures from any contracting authority or entity in any Member State covering pre-award and post-award electronic procurement activities, including functionalities such as electronic submission of offers, virtual company dossier, e-catalogues, e-orders and e-invoicing.
(b)
Interoperable cross-border e-health services. This refers to a platform which enables the interaction between citizens/patients and health care providers, institution-to-institution and organisation-to-organisation transmission of data, or peer-to-peer communication between citizens/patients and/or health professionals and institutions. The services shall comprise cross-border access to electronic health records and electronic prescription services as well as remote health/assisted living teleservices, etc.
(c)
European Platform for the interconnection of European business registers. This refers to a platform which provides a set of central tools and services enabling business registers in all Member States to exchange information on registered businesses, their branches, mergers and windings-up. It shall also provide a multi-country and multilingual search service for users using a central access point accessible via the e-Justice portal.
(d)
Access to re-usable public sector information. This refers to a platform for the single access point to multilingual (official languages of the institutions of the Union) datasets held by public bodies in the Union at European, national, regional and local levels; query and visualisation tools of the data sets; assurance that the available datasets are properly anonymised, licensed and where applicable priced to be published, redistributed and reused, including a data provenance audit trail.
Electronic procedures for setting up and running a business in another European country. This service will allow all necessary administrative procedures to be dealt with electronically across borders through single contact points. This service is a requirement in Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1).
(e)
Interoperable cross-border online services. This refers to platforms which shall facilitate interoperability and cooperation between Member States in areas of common interest, particularly with a view to improving the functioning of the internal market, such as eJustice, which will enable online cross-border access by citizens, businesses, organisations and legal practitioners to legal resources/documents and judicial procedures, Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) which will enable online resolution of cross-border disputes between consumers and merchants and Electronic Exchange of Social Security Information (EESSI), which will help social security bodies across the Union exchange information more rapidly and securely.
SECTION 2. BROADBAND NETWORKS
1. The scope of actions
Actions shall consist in particular of one or more of the following components:
(a)
the deployment of passive physical infrastructure, active physical infrastructure or the combination of the two and ancillary infrastructure elements, complete with services necessary to operate such infrastructure;
(b)
associated facilities and associated services, such as building wiring, antennae, towers and other supporting constructions, ducts, conduits, masts, manholes, and cabinets;
(c)
where possible, potential synergies shall be exploited between the roll-out of broadband networks and other utilities networks (energy, transport, water, sewerage, etc.), in particular those related to smart electricity distribution.
2. Contribution to the achievement of the targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe
All projects receiving financial assistance under this section shall contribute significantly to the achievement of the targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe.
Actions funded directly by the Union shall:
(a)
be based on wired or wireless technology capable of delivering very high-speed broadband services, thus meeting demand for applications which require high bandwidth;
(b)
be based on innovative business models and/or attract new categories of project promoters or new categories of investors; or
(c)
have a high potential for replicability, thus allowing them to achieve broader impact on the market due to their demonstration effect;
(d)
assist in narrowing the digital divide, where possible;
(e)
comply with applicable law, in particular with competition law, and with access obligations in accordance with Directive 2002/19/EC.
Actions funded from additional ring-fenced contributions provided in accordance with Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 shall bring significant new capabilities to the market in terms of broadband service availability, speeds and capacity. Projects which provide speeds of data transmission of less than 30 Mbps should ensure the increase of speeds to at least 30 Mbps and where possible to 100 Mbps and above over time.
3. Project assessment to establish optimal funding structures
The implementation of actions shall be based on a comprehensive project assessment. Such a project assessment shall cover, inter alia, market conditions including information on existing and/or planned infrastructure, regulatory obligations on project promoters, as well as commercial and marketing strategies. In particular, the project assessment shall establish whether the programme:
(a)
is necessary to address market failures or sub-optimal investment situations, which cannot be solved by regulatory measures;
(b)
does not lead to market distortions and crowding out of private investment.
These criteria shall be established primarily on the basis of the revenue potential and the level of risk associated with a project and the type of geographical area covered by an action.
4. Sources of funding
(a)
Projects of common interest in the field of broadband shall be funded through financial instruments. The budget allocated to these instruments shall be sufficient, but shall not exceed, the amount which is necessary to establish a fully operational intervention and to achieve a minimum efficient instrument size.
(b)
Subject to the rules of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 and all relevant regulations concerning ESI Funds, the financial instruments referred to in point (a) may be combined with additional contributions from:
(i)
other sectors of the CEF;
(ii)
other instruments, programmes and budget lines in the Union budget;
(iii)
Member States, including regional and local authorities, that decide to contribute own resources or resources available from ESI Funds. ESI Funds contributions will be geographically ring-fenced to ensure that they are spent within a Member State or a region which provides a contribution;
(iv)
any other investors, including private investors.
(c)
Financial instruments referred to in points (a) and (b) may also be combined with grants by Member States, including regional and local authorities, that wish to contribute own resources or resources available from ESI Funds, provided that:
(i)
the action in question meets all criteria for funding under this Regulation; and
(ii)
relevant State aid clearance has been obtained.
SECTION 3. HORIZONTAL ACTIONS
The deployment of trans-European networks in the area of telecommunications infrastructure that will help to remove the bottlenecks existing in the Digital Single Market shall be accompanied by studies and programme support actions. These actions may consist of either:
(a)
technical assistance to prepare or support implementation actions in their deployment, governance and addressing existing or emerging implementation problems; or
(b)
actions to create new demand for digital service infrastructures.
Union support under this Regulation shall be coordinated with support from all other available sources, while avoiding duplication of infrastructure and preventing the displacement of private investments.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1362/2014
of 18 December 2014
laying down rules on a simplified procedure for the approval of certain amendments to operational programmes financed under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and rules concerning the format and presentation of the annual reports on the implementation of those programmes
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Articles 22(1) and 114(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
According to Article 20 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, any amendments to an operational programme financed under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (‘EMFF’) must be approved by the Commission.
(2)
According to Article 22(2) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 procedures and timetables for the submission and approval of the following amendments to operational programmes are to be simplified in the following cases: (a) amendments to operational programmes concerning a transfer of funds between Union priorities, provided that the funds transferred do not exceed 10 % of the amount allocated to the Union priority; (b) amendments to operational programmes concerning the introduction or withdrawal of measures or types of relevant operations and related information and indicators; (c) amendments to operational programmes concerning changes in the description of measures, including changes of eligibility conditions; (d) amendments required by changes in the priorities of the Union for the enforcement and control policy. Such amendments to operational programmes should not affect the overall intervention logic of the programme, the selected Union priorities and specific objectives, nor the results they should deliver and should therefore raise no doubts as to their compatibility with the existing rules and practices.
(3)
It is therefore necessary to lay down rules on a simplified procedure for the approval of amendments to operational programmes listed in Article 22(2) of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014. This procedure should allow the Commission to approve within an accelerated time frame such type of amendments submitted by a given Member State to their operational programme. In view of the time constraints, the simplified procedure should be subject to Member States submitting a request supported with complete information allowing the Commission to make the full assessment of the proposed amendments.
(4)
Pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and Article 114 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, each Member State is to submit to the Commission an annual report on the implementation of its operational programme by 31 May of each year from 2016 until 2023.
(5)
The annual implementation report submitted by the Member States should provide information that is consistent and comparable between the years of implementation as well as among Member States. The report should also allow for aggregation of data at the level of the EMFF or where necessary, for the whole of the European Structural and Investment Funds.
(6)
It is necessary to lay down rules concerning the format and presentation of those annual implementation reports.
(7)
In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 11 December 2014
determining quantitative limits and allocating quotas for substances controlled under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer, for the period 1 January to 31 December 2015

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular to Articles 10(2) and 16(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The release for free circulation in the Union of imported controlled substances is subject to quantitative limits.
(2)
The Commission is required to determine those limits and allocate quotas to undertakings.
(3)
Furthermore, the Commission is required to determine the quantities of controlled substances other than hydrochlorofluorocarbons that may be used for essential laboratory and analytical uses, and the companies that may use them.
(4)
The determination of the allocated quotas for essential laboratory and analytical uses has to ensure that the quantitative limits set out in Article 10(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 are respected, applying Commission Regulation (EU) No 537/2011 (2). As those quantitative limits include quantities of hydrochlorofluorocarbons licensed for laboratory and analytical uses, the production and import of hydrochlorofluorocarbons for those uses should also be covered by that allocation.
(5)
The Commission has published a notice to undertakings intending to import or export controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer to or from the European Union in 2015 and to undertakings intending to request for 2015 a quota for these substances intended for laboratory and analytical uses (3), and has thereby received declarations on intended imports in 2015.

REGULATION (EU) No 1163/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 22 October 2014
on supervisory fees
(ECB/2014/41)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(3), Article 30 and the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Having regard to the public consultation and to the analysis carried out in accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 establishes a Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) composed of the European Central Bank (ECB) and national competent authorities (NCAs).
(2)
Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the ECB is responsible for the effective and consistent functioning of the SSM for all credit institutions, financial holding companies and mixed financial holding companies in all euro area Member States as well as in non-euro area Member States which enter into close cooperation with the ECB. The rules and procedures governing the cooperation between the ECB and NCAs within the SSM and with national designated authorities are laid down in Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/17) (2).
(3)
Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 provides for the levying of an annual supervisory fee by the ECB on credit institutions established in the participating Member States and on branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State. The fees levied by the ECB should cover, and not exceed, expenditure incurred by the ECB in relation to the tasks conferred on it under Articles 4 to 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.
(4)
The annual supervisory fee should comprise an amount to be paid annually by all credit institutions established in the participating Member States and branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State that are supervised within the SSM.
(5)
Within the SSM, the supervisory responsibilities of the ECB and each NCA are allocated on the basis of the significance of the supervised entities.
(6)
The ECB has direct supervisory competence in respect of significant credit institutions, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies established in participating Member States, and branches located in participating Member States of significant credit institutions established in non-participating Member States.
(7)
The ECB also oversees the functioning of the SSM, which includes all credit institutions, whether significant or less significant. The ECB is exclusively competent in relation to all credit institutions established in the participating Member States to authorise entities to take up the business of a credit institution, to withdraw authorisations and to assess acquisitions and disposals of qualifying holdings.
(8)
The NCAs are responsible for the direct supervision of less significant supervised entities, without prejudice to the ECB's power to exercise direct supervision in specific cases where this is necessary for the consistent application of high supervisory standards. When allocating the amount to be recovered via supervisory fees between the categories of significant supervised entities and less significant supervised entities, this sharing of supervisory responsibilities within the SSM and the related expenditure incurred by the ECB is taken into account.
(9)
Article 33(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 requires the ECB to publish by means of regulations and decisions the detailed operational arrangements for the implementation of the tasks conferred upon it by Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.
(10)
According to Article 30(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 the fees are to be based on objective criteria relating to the importance and risk profile of the credit institutions concerned, including risk weighted assets.
(11)
The fees are to be calculated at the highest level of consolidation within participating Member States. This means that when credit institutions are part of a supervised group established in the participating Member States, one fee shall be calculated and paid at group level.
(12)
In calculating the annual supervisory fee, subsidiaries established in non-participating Member States should not be taken into account. In this respect, and in order to determine the relevant fee factors of a supervised group, sub-consolidated data for all subsidiaries and operations controlled by the parent undertaking in the participating Member States should be provided. However, the costs of producing such sub-consolidated data may be high and, for this reason, supervised entities should be able to opt for a fee calculated on the basis of data provided at the highest level of consolidation within the participating Member States including subsidiaries established in non-participating Member States, even if this might result in a higher fee.
(13)
The institutions referred to in Article 2(5) of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) are excluded from the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 and, therefore, the ECB will not levy fees on them.
(14)
A regulation has general application, is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all euro area Member States. It is thus the appropriate legal instrument to lay down the practical arrangements for the implementation of Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013.
(15)
In line with Article 30(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, this Regulation is without prejudice to the right of NCAs to levy fees in accordance with national law and, to the extent supervisory tasks have not been conferred on the ECB, or in respect of costs of cooperating with and assisting the ECB and acting on its instructions, in accordance with relevant Union law and subject to the arrangements made for the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, including Articles 6 and 12 thereof,

PART III
DETERMINING THE ANNUAL SUPERVISORY FEE
Article 7
New supervised entities or change of status
1. Where a supervised entity or a supervised group is supervised for only part of the fee period, the annual supervisory fee shall be calculated by reference to the number of full months of the fee period for which the supervised entity or the supervised group is supervised.
2. Where, following an ECB decision to such effect, the status of a supervised entity or a supervised group changes from significant to less significant, or vice versa, the annual supervisory fee shall be calculated on the basis of the number of months for which the supervised entity or the supervised group was a significant or less significant entity or group at the last day of the month.
3. Where the amount of the annual supervisory fee levied deviates from the amount of the fee calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1 or 2, a refund to the fee debtor shall be paid, or an additional invoice shall be issued by the ECB to be paid by the fee debtor.
Article 8
Split of annual costs between significant and less significant supervised entities
1. In order to calculate the annual supervisory fee payable in respect of each supervised entity and supervised group the annual costs shall be split into two parts, one for each category of supervised entities and supervised groups, as follows:
(a)
the annual costs to be recovered from significant supervised entities;
(b)
the annual costs to be recovered from less significant supervised entities.
2. The split of the annual costs in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be made on the basis of the costs allocated to the relevant functions which perform the direct supervision of significant supervised entities and the indirect supervision of less significant supervised entities.
Article 9
Amount to be levied
1. The total amount of the annual supervisory fees to be levied by the ECB shall be the sum of:
(a)
the estimated annual costs for the current fee period based on the approved budget for the fee period;
(b)
any surplus or deficit from the previous fee period determined by deducting the actual annual costs incurred in respect of the previous fee period from estimated annual costs levied for the previous fee period.
2. For each category of supervised entities and supervised groups, the ECB shall decide the total amount to be levied via the annual supervisory fees, which shall be published on its website by 30 April of the relevant fee period.
Article 10
Annual supervisory fee payable in respect of supervised entities or supervised groups
1. The annual supervisory fee payable in respect of each significant supervised entity or significant supervised group shall be determined by allocating the amount to be levied on the category of significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups to the individual significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups on the basis of their fee factors.
2. The annual supervisory fee payable in respect of each less significant supervised entity or less significant supervised group shall be determined by allocating the amount to be levied on the category of less significant supervised entities and less significant supervised groups to the individual less significant supervised entities and less significant supervised groups on the basis of their fee factors.
3. The fee factors at the highest level of consolidation within the participating Member States shall be calculated on the following basis.
(a)
The fee factors used to determine the annual supervisory fee payable in respect of each supervised entity or supervised group shall be the amount at the reference date of:
(i)
total assets;
(ii)
total risk exposure. In the case of a fee-paying branch, total risk exposure is considered zero.
(b)
The data regarding the fee factors shall be determined and collected in accordance with an ECB decision outlining the applicable methodology and procedures. This decision shall be published on the ECB website.
(c)
For the purpose of the calculation of fee factors, supervised groups should — as a rule — exclude assets of subsidiaries located in non-participating Member States and third countries. Supervised groups may decide not to exclude such assets for the determination of fee factors.
(d)
For supervised entities or supervised groups classified as less significant on the basis of Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013, the fee factor of total assets shall not exceed EUR 30 billion.
(e)
The relative weighting used in respect of the fee factors shall be:
(i)
total assets: 50 %;
(ii)
total risk exposure: 50 %.
4. The fee debtors shall provide the fee factors with a reference date of 31 December of the preceding year and submit the required data to the NCA concerned for the calculation of the annual supervisory fees by the ECB by close of business on 1 July of the year following the said reference date or on the next business day if 1 July is not a business day. Where supervised entities prepare their annual accounts based on an accounting year-end which deviates from the calendar year, the fee debtors may provide fee factors with a reference date of their accounting year-end. NCAs shall submit these data to the ECB in accordance with procedures to be established by the ECB. The sum of all fee debtors' total assets and the sum of all fee debtors' total risk exposure shall be published on the ECB's website.
5. In the event that a fee debtor fails to provide the fee factors, the ECB shall determine the fee factors in accordance with the methodology set out in the ECB decision. Failure to provide the fee factors as provided in paragraph 4 of this Article shall be considered as a breach of this Regulation.
6. The calculation of the annual supervisory fee payable by each fee debtor shall be performed as outlined below.
(a)
The annual supervisory fee is the sum of the minimum fee component and the variable fee component.
(b)
The minimum fee component is calculated as a fixed percentage of the total amount of the annual supervisory fees for each category of supervised entities and supervised groups, as determined in accordance with Articles 8 and 9. For the category of significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups, the fixed percentage is 10 %. This amount is split equally among all fee debtors. For significant supervised entities and significant supervised groups with total assets of EUR 10 billion or less, the minimum fee component is halved. For the category of less significant supervised entities and less significant supervised groups, the fixed percentage is 10 %. This amount is split equally among all fee debtors. The minimum fee component represents the lower limit of the annual supervisory fee per fee debtor.
(c)
The variable fee component is the difference between the total amount of the annual supervisory fees for each category of supervised entities, as determined in accordance with Articles 8 and 9, and the minimum fee component for the same category. The variable fee component is allocated to individual fee debtors in each category according to each fee debtor's share in the sum of all fee debtors' weighted fee factors as determined pursuant to paragraph 3.
On the basis of the calculation performed in accordance with the preceding paragraphs and of the fee factors provided in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Article, the ECB shall decide on the annual supervisory fee to be paid by each fee debtor. The annual supervisory fee to be paid will be communicated to the fee debtor via the fee notice.
PART IV
COOPERATION WITH NCAS
Article 11
Cooperation with NCAs
1. The ECB shall communicate with the NCAs before deciding on the final fee level to ensure that supervision remains cost-effective and reasonable for all credit institutions and branches concerned. For this purpose, the ECB shall develop and implement an appropriate channel of communication in cooperation with the NCAs.
2. NCAs shall assist the ECB in levying fees if the ECB so requests.
3. In the case of credit institutions in a participating non-euro area Member State whose close cooperation with the ECB is neither suspended nor terminated, the ECB shall issue instructions to the NCA of that Member State regarding the collection of fee factors and invoicing of the annual supervisory fee.
PART V
INVOICING
Article 12
Fee notice
1. A fee notice shall be issued annually by the ECB to each fee debtor.
2. The fee notice shall specify the means by which the annual supervisory fee shall be paid. The fee debtor shall comply with the requirements set out in the fee notice with respect to the payment of the annual supervisory fee.
3. The amount due under the fee notice shall be paid by the fee debtor within 35 days of the date of issuance of the fee notice.
Article 13
Notification of the fee notice
1. The fee debtor is responsible for keeping the contact details for the submission of the fee notice up to date and shall communicate to the ECB any changes in the contact details (i.e. name, function, organisational unit, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number). The fee debtor shall communicate any changes to the contact details to the ECB by 1 July of each fee period at the latest. These contact details shall refer to a natural person or preferably to a function within the fee debtor organisation.
2. The ECB shall notify the fee notice through any of the following means: (a) electronically or by other comparable means of communication, (b) by fax, (c) by express courier service, (d) by registered mail with a form for acknowledgement, (e) by service or delivery by hand. The fee notice is valid without signature.
Article 14
Interest in case of non-payment
Without prejudice to any other remedy available to the ECB, in the event of partial payment, non-payment or non-compliance with the conditions for payment specified in the fee notice, interest shall accrue on a daily basis on the outstanding amount of the annual supervisory fee at an interest rate of the ECB's main refinancing rate plus 8 percentage points from the date on which the payment was due.
PART VI
FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 15
Sanctions
In the event of a breach of this Regulation, the ECB may impose sanctions on supervised entities in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 (5) complemented by Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (ECB/2014/17).
Article 16
Transitional provisions
1. The fee notice for the first fee period shall be issued together with the fee notice for the 2015 fee period.

ANNEX
PREAMBLE
RECOGNISING the longstanding organisation of the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe and the importance for the European Research Area it was agreed by the parties to transfer all operational activities from the Dutch national legal entity ‘Stichting JIVE’ into a legal entity under the Regulation (EC) No 723/2009 to be named ‘JIV-ERIC’.
Whereas:
The European VLBI Network (EVN) is a longstanding consortium with flexibly expandable structure that offers an astronomical observing facility through joint observations of radio telescopes across Europe and other continents and which is used by a vital and globally distributed scientific community. The EVN has been proven to maintain very high standards and a very stable network for more than two decades.
Within the EVN, the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE) has been established in 1993 as a Dutch national legal entity (Stichting/Foundation) to implement central services and in particular the data processing (correlation) of the collected telescope data. It offers the users of the EVN support in proposing, processing and interpreting the observations of the EVN. It also provides feedback on the data quality delivered by the telescopes. JIVE provides the essential infrastructure for the joint observations of the EVN and other networks. JIVE has an active role in enhancing the capabilities of the EVN by developing new techniques, notably concerning the central processing and user services.
In this and other activities JIVE has acted as the representative of the EVN, in particular when carrying out EC programmes. The relationship of the JIVE infrastructure and EVN is addressed in the EVN Consortium Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) concluded in Berlin on 22 November 2002.
JIVE is currently legally framed in a Dutch Foundation. The ERIC is an appropriate legal entity to the science mission and ambitions of JIVE. The legal framework of a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) is incorporated under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 723/2009.
The establishment of JIV-ERIC will provide more sustainability to the longstanding collaboration of nationally established research institutes in the field of Very Long Baseline Interferometry. The VLBI-networks are critical and key technology for leading and future research infrastructures in radio astronomy.
The JIVE correlator is the core of the JIV-ERIC infrastructure. It is an essential central component to form the VLBI Research Infrastructure. JIV-ERIC shall continue the existing collaboration and contractual obligations with all the EVN-partners and structure and align this with the JIV-ERIC mission. JIV-ERIC will correlate any EVN projects. Additionally, JIV-ERIC will promote and implement the use of VLBI and other radio-astronomy techniques.
IT WAS AGREED among the founding Members to establish and implement JIV-ERIC in compliance with the following provisions.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 870/2014
of 11 August 2014
on criteria for applicants for rail infrastructure capacity
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2012/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 establishing a single European railway area (1), and in particular Article 41(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 41(2) of Directive 2012/34/EU provides for the possibility for infrastructure managers to set requirements with regard to applicants to ensure that their legitimate expectations about future revenues and utilisation of the infrastructure are safeguarded.
(2)
These requirements should be appropriate, transparent and non-discriminatory. They can only include the provision of a financial guarantee that should not exceed an appropriate level proportional to the contemplated level of activity, and assurance of the capability of the applicant to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity.
(3)
Financial guarantees could take the form of advance payments or guarantees provided by financial institutions
(4)
The appropriateness of the requirements referred to in Recital (2) should take account of the fact that the infrastructure of competing transport modes, such as road and air transport, sea ships and inland waterways, is often free of user charges and hence also free of financial guarantees thereon. In order to ensure fair competition between transport modes, financial guarantees should be limited to the strict minimum in terms of level and duration.
(5)
These financial guarantees are only appropriate if they are necessary for the purpose of reassuring the infrastructure manager about the future revenues and utilisation of the infrastructure. Considering that infrastructure managers are able to rely on the checks and surveillance of the financial fitness of railway undertakings under the licensing procedure in accordance with Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU, and in particular Article 20 of that Directive, the need for financial guarantees is further reduced.
(6)
The principle of non-discrimination applies to those guarantees, therefore there should be no distinction between the guarantee requirements for privately and publicly owned applicants.
(7)
Guarantees should be commensurate with the level of risk posed by the applicant for the infrastructure manager at different stages of capacity allocation. The risk is considered generally to be low as long as the capacity can be reallocated to other railway undertakings.
(8)
A guarantee which is requested in relation to the preparation of compliant bids can only be considered as appropriate, transparent and non-discriminatory if the infrastructure manager sets out clear and transparent rules for preparing a capacity request in the network statement, and offers the necessary support tools to applicants. Since it is not possible to objectively determine the capability of preparing compliant bids before the application procedure, any lack of capability can only be determined after that procedure, on the basis of a repeated failure to put forward those bids or provide the necessary information to the infrastructure manager. The applicant is responsible for that failure which carries a sanction involving the exclusion of the applicant from the application for a specific train path.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 62(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation sets out requirements for financial guarantees that an infrastructure manager may request to ensure that its legitimate expectations about future revenues are met without exceeding a level proportional to level of activities contemplated by the applicant. The requirements include in particular the conditions when a guarantee or an advance payment may be requested and the level and duration of a financial guarantee. In addition, this Regulation sets out certain details as regards the criteria to assess the capability of an applicant to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity.
Article 2
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definition applies:
‘financial guarantee’ means: (a) advance payments to reduce and anticipate future obligations to pay infrastructure charges; or (b) contractual arrangements by which a financial institution such as bank commits to ensure that such payments are effected once they are due.
Article 3
Conditions for financial guarantees
1. The applicant may choose to meet a request for financial guarantee by means of either advance payment or contractual arrangement in the meaning of Article 2. Where an infrastructure manager requires an applicant to provide an advance payment for infrastructure charges, it may not at the same time request other financial guarantees for the same contemplated activities.
2. An infrastructure manager shall not request applicants to provide financial guarantees unless the credit rating of the applicant suggests that he might have difficulties in effecting regular payments for infrastructure charges. The infrastructure manager shall mention such credit ratings in the section on charging principles of its network statement, if applicable. The infrastructure manager shall base his request for a financial guarantee on ratings not older than two years provided by a credit rating agency.
3. The infrastructure manager shall not request a financial guarantee:
(a)
from the designated railway undertaking if a financial guarantee has already been granted or paid by the applicant, which is not a railway undertaking, to cover future payments for the same contemplated activities;
(b)
if the infrastructure charge is to be paid directly to the infrastructure manager by a competent authority pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).
Article 4
Level and duration of financial guarantees
1. The level of financial guarantees regarding one applicant shall not exceed the estimated amount of charges incurred during two months of train operations requested.
2. Reservation charges paid in accordance with Article 36 of Directive 2012/34/EU shall be deducted from the maximum estimated amount of charges referred to in paragraph 1.
3. An infrastructure manager shall not require that a financial guarantee takes effect more than 10 days before the first of the month in which the railway undertaking starts the train operations the payment of infrastructure charges from which this financial guarantee is to cover. If the capacity is allocated after this point in time, the infrastructure manager may request the financial guarantee at short notice.
Article 5
Capability to prepare compliant bids for infrastructure capacity
The infrastructure manager shall not reject an application for a specific train path on grounds of failing to provide assurance of the capability to prepare a compliant bid for infrastructure capacity, within the meaning of Article 41(2) of Directive 2012/34/EU, unless:
(a)
the applicant has failed to answer two subsequent requests requiring the provision of the missing information or has repeatedly responded in a way that does not satisfy the conditions set out in the network statement referred to in Article 27 of Directive 2012/34/EU and in Annex IV to that Directive regarding the application procedures for train paths; and
(b)
the infrastructure manager is able to demonstrate at the request of and to the satisfaction of the regulatory body that it has taken all reasonable steps to support the correct and timely submission of applications.
Article 6
Transitional provision
Where necessary, infrastructure managers shall align their network statements to the provisions of this Regulation for the first timetable period following the entry into force of this Regulation.
Article 7
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 16 June 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 16 October 2014
laying down rules for the implementation of Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism and repealing Commission Decisions 2004/277/EC, Euratom and 2007/606/EC, Euratom
(notified under document C(2014) 7489)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/762/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 December 2013 on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The general objective of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (‘Union Mechanism’) is to strengthen the cooperation between the Union and the Member States and to facilitate coordination in the field of civil protection in order to improve the effectiveness of systems for preventing, preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters.
(2)
As disasters can strike at any time, the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) established under Article 7 of Decision No 1313/2013/EU should ensure at all times close contact with the contact points of Member States.
(3)
The Common Emergency Communication and Information System (CECIS) is an essential element of the Union Mechanism because it should guarantee authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of information exchanged among the Member States under routine conditions as well as in emergencies. A separate version of CECIS providing access to the secretariats of the regional sea conventions and third countries sharing a regional sea basin with the Union should be created in view of the specificities of the response to marine pollution incidents.
(4)
In order to ensure operational effectiveness, minimum requirements should be defined for the modules, other response capacities and experts identified in accordance with Article 9(1) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU, as well as for their operational requirements, functioning, and interoperability, as provided for in Article 9(2) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU. In particular, modules should be capable of working self-sufficiently for a given period of time, be quick to deploy, and interoperable. In order to enhance the interoperability of modules, measures are needed at Union and Member State levels.
(5)
The capacity goals for the European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC) should be defined and regularly reviewed in order to have a sufficient number of all necessary types of modules, other response capacities, and experts available for deployments under the Union Mechanism. The quality and interoperability requirements should be defined and regularly reviewed to ensure a uniform minimum level of quality and interoperability of all capacities participating in the EERC.
(6)
A certification and registration procedure, including self-assessment elements, should be defined to confirm that capacities in the voluntary pool fulfil all necessary requirements and, where necessary, benefit from limited Union co-financing of ‘adaptation costs’. This certification and registration procedure should, moreover, ensure an adequate geographic balance of capacities in accordance with the location of risks, and consider the participation of all interested Member States.
(7)
The identification of possible response capacity gaps of the EERC should allow the Commission and Member States to determine together where adequate capacities are not available inside or outside the voluntary pool. Member States addressing them individually or through consortia should benefit from limited Union co-financing provided this is cost-effective and confirmed by risk-assessments.
(8)
In order to develop the functioning of the EERC, limited amounts of Union co-financing through framework contracts, framework partnership agreements or similar arrangements should support Member States' access to additional capacities to address temporary shortcomings in extraordinary disasters, i.e. disasters of a nature and magnitude going beyond what can reasonably be expected and prepared for. These capacities should be included in the voluntary pool for deployments under the Union Mechanism.
(9)
The Union Mechanism training programme continues to represent an essential element for the preparedness of civil protection and disaster management personnel deployed in the context of the Union Mechanism. In line with the scope defined in Article 13(1) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU, it should cover prevention, preparedness, and response phases.
(10)
The Union Mechanism exercise programme should continue its essential role for the practical preparedness for deployments involving the Union Mechanism and the sharing of lessons learnt from civil protection actions conducted within the framework of the Union Mechanism. The exercise programme should be guided by a strategic framework, setting out objectives and roles of exercises under the Union Mechanism, as well as by specific priorities included in the annual work programmes.
(11)
A systematic, focused and coherent approach for gathering, analysing, disseminating and implementing the lessons learnt, covering the entire disaster management cycle, should be established.
(12)
In the framework of the Union Mechanism, clear operational procedures for the response to disaster under the Mechanism are important to ensure efficient assistance in case of disasters, including for the relevant international organisations identified in accordance with Article 16(1) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU.
(13)
In order to allow for a maximum of effectiveness and efficiency of the Union Mechanism, all requests for and offers of assistance should be as specific as possible including all necessary information.
(14)
In order to ensure effective coordination of assistance, the ERCC should share its assessment of critical needs and its recommendations for deployments from the voluntary pool with all Member States and develop adequate deployment plans for every request for assistance. The selection of capacities from the voluntary pool should be based on specific and objective criteria, the priority of which should be assessed in the light of current operational needs.
(15)
In order to improve, where appropriate, the response times under the Union Mechanism, Member States should make necessary pre-arrangements for the deployment of their capacities registered in the voluntary pool.
(16)
The availability of technical, assessment, and coordination, experts, including team leaders, represents an important element of the Union Mechanism. The tasks and functions of the experts should be defined and the procedure for deploying them should be determined.
(17)
Article 23 of Decision No 1313/2013/EU sets out special provisions to provide transport support in the event of a disaster to facilitate a rapid and effective response with the help of the Union Mechanism. It is necessary to establish the rules and procedures for the requests made by Member States to obtain financial support from the Union to transport assistance to the affected country and the handling of those requests by the Commission.
(18)
For reasons of transparency, coherence and effectiveness it is necessary to establish the information to be provided in the requests for transport support and related replies by Member States and the Commission.
(19)
Where Union financial assistance may be provided in accordance with Decision No 1313/2013/EU, Member States should have the choice to request either a grant or a transport service.
(20)
Commission Decisions 2004/277/EC, Euratom (2) and 2007/606/EC, Euratom (3) should be repealed.
(21)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Civil Protection Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 153/2014
of 17 February 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Zimbabwe and repealing Regulation (EU) No 298/2013
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 (1) implements several measures provided for by Council Decision 2011/101/CFSP (2), including the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain natural or legal persons, entities and bodies.
(2)
The suspension of the travel restrictions and asset freeze measures applying to the majority of the individuals and entities set out in Annex I to Decision 2011/101/CFSP should be renewed, and further extended to cover eight more individuals.
(3)
Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(4)
An updated Annex should be added to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 to include eight more individuals who are to benefit from the suspension of the prohibitions laid down in Article 6(1) and (2) thereof, in addition to the 81 persons and eight entities, who already benefit from the suspension of the application of Article 6 provided for in Council Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 (3).
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The extension of the suspension provided for in Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is due to expire on 20 February 2014 and that extension is to be provided for in this Regulation. In the interests of legal clarity, therefore, Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 should be repealed.
(7)
In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force on the day of its publication,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 is amended as follows:
(1)
in Article 6, the following paragraph is added:
‘4. The measures in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be suspended in so far as they concern persons and entities listed in Annex IV.’;
(2)
the Annex to this Regulation is added as Annex IV.
Article 2
Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.
Done at Brussels, 17 February 2014.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 February 2014
on the measure SA.35388 (13/C) (ex 13/NN and ex 12/N) — Poland — Setting up the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport
(notified under document C(2014) 759)
(Only the Polish text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/883/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 108(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provision(s) cited above (1),
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1)
By letter dated 7 September 2012 Poland notified to the Commission, for reasons of legal certainty, the planned financing of the conversion of a military airport into a civil aviation airport near Gdynia in the north of Poland. The measure was registered under the State aid case number SA.35388.
(2)
By letters dated 7 November 2012 and 6 February 2013, the Commission requested further information on the notified measure. On 7 December 2012 and 15 March 2013, Poland submitted additional information. A meeting between the Commission and Poland took place on 17 April 2013. During this meeting, Poland confirmed that the notified financing was already irrevocably granted.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES AND GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
2.1. BACKGROUND TO THE INVESTIGATION
(8)
The case concerns the financing of a new civil aviation airport located in the Pomeranian Region (Pomorskie Voivodship), on the border of Gdynia and Kosakowo, 25 kilometres away from Gdansk airport (4). The new airport is owned and will be operated by Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd (hereinafter also ‘the airport manager’ or ‘Gdynia airport’). The airport manager is fully publicly owned by Gdynia and Kosakowo.
(9)
The objective of the investment project is to create a second airport for the Pomeranian Region based on the infrastructure of the military airport located in Kosakowo (5). The new airport should serve mainly general aviation traffic (e. g. private jets, gliders/light-sport aircrafts), low cost carriers (hereinafter: ‘LCC’) and charters. At the time of notification it was expected that the airport would start its activities at the beginning of 2014. Based on a PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (hereinafter: ‘PWC’) report of 2012, the passenger traffic during the first years of operations was expected to be as follows: around […] in 2014, […] in 2017, […] in 2020 and at around […] in 2028.
(10)
The origin of the project can be dated back to April 2005 when various regional authorities, the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Transport and Gdansk airport (6) signed a letter of intent to create a new airport for the Pomeranian Region based on the infrastructure of the existing military airport located in Kosakowo. In July 2007, the local authorities of Gdynia and Kosakowo founded a company called ‘Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd’. In December 2009, Gdynia and Kosakowo obtained an agreement from the Ministry of Transport that Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd would be further responsible for the new airport. Based on this agreement, Poland handed over, by the agreement of 9 September 2010, for a period of 30 years the land of 254 hectare, on which the military airport is located, to Kosakowo, which then leased it for the same period to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd.
The investment project
(11)
Because the existing Gdynia-Kosakowo (Gdynia-Oksywie) airfield was initially used exclusively for military purposes, the airport manager of the new airport is to be able to use the existing infrastructure (such as a runway of 2 500 meters, taxiways, an apron, navigation equipment etc.). The total investment costs, which are linked to the conversion project, are estimated at PLN 164,9 million (EUR 41,2 million (7)) in nominal terms and PLN 148,4 (EUR 37,1 million) in real terms. The table below provides an overview of the gradual development of the airport, which is divided into four phases. According to Poland, the total investment costs include also investments with regard to tasks falling within public policy remit (8), which amount to around PLN […] million (EUR […] million) in total (for all four phases).

The financing of the investment project
(12)
The investment project is being financed through capital injections by the public shareholders (i.e. Gdynia and Kosakowo). The capital injections are intended to cover both the investment costs and the operating costs of the airport at the beginning of its operation (i.e. until 2019, including). The public shareholders expect that as from 2020 the airport manager will be profitable and able to finance all its activities from its revenues.
(13)
Until the time of notifying the project to the Commission (i.e. 7 September 2012), the public shareholders of Gdynia airport had agreed to contribute to the investment project and the losses of the airport in the first years of its operation, about PLN 207,48 million (9) (around EUR 51,87 million) in total. Gdynia would provide cash contributions amounting to PLN 142,48 million (around EUR 35,62 million) in years 2007-2019. Kosakowo provided a cash contribution of PLN 0,1 million (EUR 25 000) when the company was founded. In years 2011 – 2040 Kosakowo would contribute also with non-cash contributions amounting to PLN 64,9 million (around EUR 16,2 million) by converting a part of the annual land rent (being a liability of Gdynia airport towards Kosakowo) into shares of the airport (see Table 2 below).

2.2. GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AND THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT
(14)
The opening decision, raised the following questions:
—
First, whether the public funding of the investment project is in line with the Market Economy Investor Principle (hereinafter: MEIP), in particular with regard to (i) the application of the MEIP in time, the methodology to apply the MEIP and (ii) whether the MEIP analysis carried out by the Polish authorities leading to a positive Net Present Value (hereinafter: ‘NPV’) (10) is based on realistic and reliable assumptions;
—
Second, whether operating and investment aid to Gdynia airport can be found compatible.
Application of the MEIP
(15)
As regards the first question, the Commission expressed doubts as to whether the MEIP study conducted in 2012, i.e. after the irrevocable decision to finance the conversion of the airport was taken by the public shareholders, can be used in order to assess the existence of State aid. Consequently, the Commission had doubts whether the counterfactual scenario, defined as discontinuing the investment as of 2012, was appropriate.
(16)
Given the fact that Gdynia airport is to pursue a similar business model (with the focus on LCC, charters and general aviation) as the existing Gdansk airport which still has spare capacity and further expansion plans and which is located only 25 kilometers away, the Commission expressed doubts whether the forecasted revenue of Gdynia airport was based on realistic assumptions, in particular with regard to the level of airport charges and the level of expected passenger traffic. In particular, the Commission noted that the business plan for Gdynia airport foresaw higher passenger charges than applied, after the deduction of discounts/rebates, at Gdansk airport and other comparable regional airports in Poland.
(17)
The Commission also expressed doubts whether the business plan took into account all planned incentives (such as marketing support, rebates, or any other route development incentives etc.) envisaged to be granted directly by Gdynia airport or by its shareholders or other regional authorities to attract airlines to establish new routes from the airport.
(18)
Since the growth rate of an undertaking is generally not higher than that of the economy in which it operates (i.e. in terms of GDP growth), the Commission expressed doubts whether the growth rate of the turnover used for the calculation of the Terminal Value (11), equal to […], is appropriate. This doubt directly affects the assessment of the profitability of the investment project since the equity value of the new airport turns only positive because of the Terminal Value of the project as of 2040 (indeed, the cumulative discounted cash flow is negative over the projection period of 2010-2040).
(19)
Consequently, the Commission considered that the public funding of the investment project provides a selective economic advantage to the airport manager of Gdynia airport. The public funding is also granted from state resources and is imputable to the State. Moreover, it distorts or threatens to distort competition and trade between Member States. As all the cumulative criteria for notion of aid were met, the Commission considered that the public funding constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
Compatibility of the aid
(20)
As regards the second question, the Commission expressed doubts whether both the investment and the operating aid to Gdynia airport could be found compatible with the internal market.
(21)
As to the investment aid, the Commission had doubts whether all of the compatibility criteria for the investment aid to airports, set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines (12), were satisfied. In particular, the Commission had doubts whether the investment at stake meets a clearly defined objective of common interest, the infrastructure is necessary and proportional and has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use. Moreover, the Commission had doubts whether the impact on the development of trade is not contrary to the common interest.
(22)
As to the operating aid in the form of financing operating losses of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd during its first years of operation, the Commission expressed doubts whether such aid could qualify for the derogation set out in article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU. In particular, the Commission expressed doubts whether the operating aid at stake could be considered compatible under the Guidelines on national regional aid for 2007-2013 (13) (hereinafter: ‘RAG’).
3. COMMENTS FROM POLAND
3.1. APPLICATION OF THE MEIP AND THE EXISTENCE OF AID
(23)
Poland maintains its position that the public funding of the investments into Gdynia airport is in line with the MEIP, and thus does not constitute State aid. In this connection, Poland refers to the MEIP studies conducted for the investment in years 2010 – 2012. Poland states that all MEIP studies resulted in a positive Net Present Value as well as in an Internal Rate of Return (14) (hereinafter: ‘IRR’) higher than the costs of capital.
3.1.1. The decision making process and the methodological correctness of MEIP study
(24)
Poland clarifies that discussions and works on the conversion of the military airport in Gdynia/Kosakowo into a civil aviation airport commenced already in 2005, at that point in time together with other partners (such as Gdansk airport). Poland clarifies further that in 2007, Gdynia and Kosakowo established the company, Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd, which is being responsible for the investment from that point in time.
(25)
During the proceedings, Poland submitted three MEIP studies that were undertaken by PWC. The first MEIP study was performed in July 2010 (dated 16 July 2010, hereafter: the ‘2010 MEIP study’). Two further updates by PWC were undertaken in May 2011 (dated 13 May 2011, hereinafter: ‘2011 MEIP update’ or ‘2011 MEIP study’) and in July 2012 (dated 13 July 2012, hereinafter, the later study will be referred to as the ‘2012 MEIP update’ or ‘2012 MEIP study’). These updates incorporate new projections for passenger traffic, modifications of the scope of the project, modifications in the investment figures as well as changes in the methodology and the basic inputs into the NPV calculations (such as the beta and the discount rate). In November 2013, Poland further submitted that new sources of revenue would enhance the NPV of the project (i.e. the sale of fuel and providing navigation services). At the time of adopting the opening decision, Poland had only submitted the 2012 MEIP update.
(26)
Poland also clarifies the time schedule of the investment project of Gdynia and Kosakowo in Gdynia airport. In this respect Poland stresses that the investment process can be divided into two project stages:
(i) First stage (2007-2009) related to the preparatory works and feasibility studies to set up the new airport (this relates to Phase I as described in Table 1)
(27)
Poland clarifies that during the first stage, the company established by Gdynia and Kosakowo was realising preparatory tasks (e.g. preparation of a master plan for the investment, documents necessary to obtain the status of an airport operator, a report on the environmental impact of the investment, project documentations, etc.).
(28)
Poland is of the opinion that in the first stage there were not important capital investments and the public funding granted to the airport manager was in line with the de minimis aid rules (15). Poland states that until 26 June 2009, the total capital injections into the company amounted to PLN 1, 691 million (about EUR 423 000).
(ii) Second stage (from 2010 onwards) concerned the actual conversion of the airport (this relates to Phase II to IV as described in Table 1)
(29)
Poland clarifies further that the first, preparatory phase was finalised in 2010 when both the Master Plan (16) as well as the first 2010 MEIP Study for Gdynia airport were finalised. Poland points out that since the 2010 MEIP study showed that the investment of the two local authorities would be carried out at market terms (i.e. it would not represent State aid), the shareholders increased the company’s share capital to PLN 6,05 million (around EUR 1,5 million).
(30)
The 2010 MEIP study calculated an NPV of the investment project in question based on the Free Cash Flow to the Firm methodology (‘FCFF’) (17). This NPV calculation is predicated on the fact that all the capital injections foreseen in the investment plan would be undertaken to implement the investment project (18). This valuation methodology calculates, during a projection period, the cash flow available to all holders of capital in the firm (stockholders as well as bond holders). The cash flow projections are then discounted by the weighted average cost of capital (‘WACC’) (19) to provide the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) of the firm during the projection period. Then, a terminal value is calculated using the perpetuity growth method (which assumes a stable growth path based on the FCFF of the last projection period). The NPV is based on the sum of the DCF for the projection period and the terminal value. In this case, the 2010 MEIP study provided cash flow estimates for the period 2010-2040 using a WACC of […] % (20). With these inputs, the analysis finds a DCF of minus PLN […] million (EUR […] million) for the period 2010-2040 and a (discounted) terminal value of about PLN […] million (EUR […] million) (21). Hence, the NPV of the overall project is estimated at PLN […] million (or EUR […] million).
(31)

(32)
Poland explains that on 29 July 2010, the equity (own capital) of the company was increased to PLN 6,052 million (around EUR 1,5 million). Poland explains further that at the same time, despite the MEIP study showing that the investment does not constitute State aid, the shareholders started to prepare a notification to the Commission that was to be submitted for reasons of legal certainty only.
(33)
Poland clarifies further that in May 2011, a new MEIP study was conducted. Poland informs that this MEIP study was an update of the 2010 MEIP study that was conducted due to progressive preparations and more precise data available on the investment plan, its agenda and financing. Poland clarifies that during the period between the preparation of the 2010 MEIP study and the 2011 MEIP study:
—
The shareholders signed, on 11 March 2011, an agreement that set up the financing conditions for the investment, concerning the start-up of a civil aviation airport. In this shareholder agreement Gdynia committed to inject in total PLN 59 million between 2011 and 2013. At the same time, Kosakowo committed to provide non-cash contributions by means of a debt-to-equity swap (as described in Table 2) in years 2011 to 2040.
—
Also on 11 March 2011, the land lease contract was concluded by the company responsible for setting up Gdynia airport and Kosakowo (it allowed to precise the scope of property leased, the conditions for payment of the rent, tax issues, etc.)
—
The investment costs included in the investment plan were specified and updated.
(34)
Poland explains that the 2011 MEIP study resulted also in a positive NPV. Poland explains further that the public shareholders of the airport manager conducted on this basis the subsequent capital injections. Poland points out that in July 2011 the equity (own capital) of the company was increased to PLN 33,801 million (EUR 8,45 million) and in April 2013 to PLN 64,810 million (EUR 16,20 million).
(35)
In the 2011 MEIP study, the DCF was calculated on the basis of the DCF for the projection period of 2011-2040. The updated DCF was equal to PLN (-[…]) million (EUR – […] million), suggesting larger losses while the terminal value was decreased to PLN […] million (around EUR […] million). Hence, the NPV was reduced to PLN […] million (or less than EUR […] million). The WACC was reduced to […] % (22) and the stable growth rate for the terminal value calculation was decreased from […] % to […] %.
(36)
Poland informs that in view of a new macroeconomic situation (the financial crisis and the economic slowdown) the project was re-assessed in 2012, this resulted in a new MEIP study (i.e. the 2012 MEIP study). Poland explains that in comparison with the previous MEIP studies, the assumptions for the 2012 MEIP study were modified as follows:
—
The forecasted passenger traffic for Gdynia airport was reduced;
—
The scope of the investment was reduced, what led to the reduction of the investment costs by PLN […] million (EUR […] million);
—
The idea of building a main terminal (together with related development of road infrastructure and car park) was abandoned, instead it was decided to expand the capacity of the general aviation terminal by […] in the second investment phase;
—
After market verifications, the investment costs related to the security area had to be increased by PLN […] million (EUR […] million),
—
The reduction of the scope of investment resulted in a shorter payback period for the investment (in nominal terms, by […] years from […] years to […] years).
(37)
Poland also clarifies that in comparison to the previous MEIP studies the methodology of the 2012 MEIP study was also modified:
—
To better reflect the structure of financing and the cost of debt servicing, the Free Cash Flow to the Firm (hereinafter: ‘FCFF’) discounted cash flow method was replaced by the Free Cash Flow to Equity (hereinafter: ‘FCFE’) method (23).
—
Following the financial (securities) market changes, risk free interest rate and the Beta factor were updated. Moreover, companies from outside Europe were eliminated from the comparative analyses. This resulted in a new discount rate.
—
The discount rate for calculating the NPV was set up based on the analysis of comparable companies, covering both airport companies and companies providing airport services (financial of which results are strongly correlated with the performance of airport companies) (24).
—
It was assumed that the project would be financed first by shareholders’ resources and then from external sources (working capital loans) as well as from operating revenues.
(38)
In the 2012 MEIP study, the DCF was calculated on the basis of the DCF for the projection period of 2012-2030 (i.e. compared with the previous study, the projection period was reduced by 10 years). The updated DCF was equal to PLN (-[…] million) (around EUR (-[…]) million) while the terminal value was significantly increased to PLN […] million (EUR […] million). The capitalised value of investments already made (PLN […] million) was further deducted. Hence, the 2012 update of the NPV was equal to PLN […] million (or EUR […] million). In order to calculate the NPV, the cost of equity of […] % was used (25) and the stable growth rate for the terminal value calculation was further decreased from […] % to […] %.
(39)
Poland points out that the results of the 2012 MEIP study remained still positive and let to further capital injections by the shareholders. Poland clarified that by April 2013, the capital of the company had been increased to PLN 91,310 million (EUR 22,8 million) and did not change further in 2013, as summarised in the Table 3.

Poland summarises that while local authorities took preliminary steps to set up Gdynia airport as early as 2005, the project took its shape only with the preparation of the Master plan and the first MEIP study, i.e. in 2010. Poland clarifies further that the project was then substantially revised from its original assumptions as a result of changes in external circumstances. Poland argues that the final decision of public shareholders on the implementation and final shape of the project was made in 2012. Poland also stresses that each of the three versions of the MEIP study confirmed the project’s viability and demonstrated that a market economy investor would had carried out the project.
(41)
On the counterfactual scenario, Poland argues that according to the national law, Kosakowo could use the land, on which Gdynia airport is located only to set up a new civil aviation airport. In this respect, Poland clarifies that with this restriction, the land of airport was leased to Kosakowo for a period of 30 years. Poland clarifies further that the rental agreement obliges Kosakowo to lease the land only to an entity responsible for setting up and/or operating a civil aviation airport. According to Poland, the land could have been taken over by the State, if Kosakowo had not leased the land to set up a civil aviation airport within 6 months, or the land was used for other purposes, or the airport had not started its activities within 3 years. The scenario where the land of Gdynia airport is used/leased for other than aviation purposes was not possible and therefore could not be used to establish a counterfactual scenario.
3.1.2. Reliability of the key assumptions for the 2012 MEIP
Traffic projections and revenue forecast
(42)
Poland explains that the planned airport charges were based on publicly available tariffs of other airports in such a manner so as not to disrupt the existing market while ensuring an appropriate level of the project’s profitability based on the projected passenger traffic volume. According to Poland, the charges do not differ significantly from standard tariffs charged by small airports. In particular two newly opened regional airports, the Modlin airport and the Lublin airport have standard airport charges that are similar to those projected in the MEIP study for Gdynia airport.
(43)
In reply to the Commission’s comment that the charges foreseen for Gdynia airport (PLN 25 (EUR 5,25) in the first 2 years and then PLN 40 (EUR 10) per departing passenger) are higher than applied, discounted charges at Gdansk airport (PLN 24 (EUR 5) per departing passenger by an aircraft of LCC type if an international route is served at least 2 times per week; for a domestic route the charge would be PLN 12,5 (EUR 3,1)), Poland notes that the level of charges in the business plan is averaged for the whole forecast period (2014-2030) and takes into account the fact that in the long-period term charges at Gdansk airport will have to increase following improved standard of service at that airport.
(44)
Moreover, Poland points out that due to the project’s profit margin, revised (slightly higher) air traffic forecast and possible sharing of some operational costs with the military, Gdynia airport should be able to maintain reduced passenger charges over a longer period (the reduced charges could be applied until the end of 2021) while maintaining a positive NPV for the public shareholders.
(45)
Poland also argues that the updated (in March 2013) traffic forecast for the Pomeranian Region foresees higher traffic than that applied in the 2012 MEIP study. According to the latest figures, the traffic at Gdynia airport in 2030 would be 1 149 978 instead of 1 083 746. For the whole Pomeranian Region the increase for 2030 is foreseen from 7,8 to 9 million passengers.

In the view of Poland, these figures confirm that it is viable for Gdansk airport and Gdynia airport to coexist and operate jointly on the Pomeranian market. Even if Gdansk airport is expanded to reach the planned capacity of 7 million passengers, the development of the aviation market in the Pomeranian Region leaves, according to Poland, room for an additional small regional airport (with a capacity of 1 million) whose offer of services would be complementary to that of Gdansk airport.

Operating costs (incentives to the airlines, costs related to the military operations of the airport)
(47)
Poland explains that the MEIP study takes into account the airport’s marketing and promotional measures in estimating:
(i)
operating costs, such costs being estimated on the basis of available financial statements of all major Polish airports,
(ii)
other costs by type, which are projected for Gdynia Airport at a conservatively high level, also taking into account the corresponding costs in other airports.
(48)
Poland also clarifies that the MEIP study assumed that entire operating cost would be borne by the investor and does not take into account any sharing of operating costs with the military user of the airport. Poland states that it is assumed that the operating costs of shared infrastructure will be shared […] to the number of civil and military flight operations. Poland clarifies further that the costs of renovation and repairs will be […]. Poland stresses that the adoption of rules on shared use of the airport (not yet formally agreed with the military user of the airport) will lead to a minimum reduction of […] in costs related to third party services and payroll. According to Poland, inclusion of this factor in the MEIP studies would result in a higher projected profitability of the project.
Long term growth rate
(49)
Poland explains that the growth rate of […] % adopted in the MEIP study refers to the terminal value in nominal terms.
(50)
Poland clarifies further that the growth rate of […] % is equal to Poland’s inflation target as set by the Monetary Policy Council (a decision-making body of the National Bank of Poland). Poland points out that according to the latest forecast by the International Monetary Fund of July 2013, Poland’s GDP will grow at the rate of 2,2 % in 2014, 3 % in 2015, 3,3 % in 2017 and 3,8 % in 2018.
The November 2013 update
(51)
In November 2013, Poland informed that the airport manager had just received the administrative decisions from the Customs Office and the Energy Regulatory Office allowing it to directly sale fuels to aircrafts. The sale of fuels by the airport manager would be a source of additional revenues improving the financial result of the business plan.
(52)
According to Poland, all MEIP studies conducted until now foresaw that the sale of fuel would be provided via an external operator. The sale of fuel by the airport manager would increase company’s profit margin on this activity from PLN […] (EUR […]) per litre (in case the fuel is sold by an external operator) to PLN […] (EUR […]) per litre (in case of selling the fuel directly by the airport manager).
(53)
In the view of Poland, these additional revenues would improve the 2012 MEI update result. Poland points out that the NPV for the project is thus expected to increase from PLN […] million (EUR […] million) to PLN […] million (EUR […] million). Poland in addition clarifies that the IRR would increase from […] % to […] %.
(54)
Poland argues that the additional revenues would alternatively allow reducing the airport charges for airlines in long-term.
(55)
Poland confirmed that the sale of fuel on its own was not included in the conducted MEIP studies due to a prudential approach. At the time when these studies were conducted, the airport operator did not have the required permissions and it was not guaranteed that it would be in the position to obtain any of them.
(56)
In addition, Poland informed that the company intends to provide the navigation services to airlines (instead of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency). Poland points out that this would allow reducing the terminal fee paid by airlines (paid now to the Agency) and in this way the attractiveness of Gdynia airport to airlines would increase. Consequently, the airport manager could offer more competitive airport charges to airlines than the neighbouring airports.
3.2. COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT
3.2.1. Investment aid
(57)
According to Poland, all of the compatibility criteria for the investment aid to airports, set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, are satisfied.
Meeting a clearly defined objective of common interest
(58)
Poland argues that setting up Gdynia airport, as an element of the Pomeranian Region’s transport system, optimizes the use of available infrastructure and will have a positive impact on regional development, notably through an increase in airport jobs, income from the chain of supplies for the aviation market, and tourism development.
(59)
Poland refers to the ‘Regional transport development strategy in the Pomeranian Region for 2007–2020’, that being based on air traffic forecasts for the region, recognized a need to build a hub of closely collaborating airports that would serve the needs of the Tricity area’s population (26).
(60)
According to Poland, the main arguments for the construction of a hub of airports in the Tricity area are: increasing air traffic in Poland, the exhaustion of Gdansk Airport’s capacity for adaptation and stretching the agglomeration over a distance of nearly 60 km (including the cities of Tczew and Wejherowo this distance increases to over 100 km). Poland argues that while, following the expansion of its terminal; Gdansk Airport has currently a capacity of ca. 5 million passengers, some air traffic forecasts project that the potential passenger traffic in that airport will exceed 6 million passengers in 2035. Poland has submitted in its comments on the one hand that in view of the environmental restrictions and the residential developments in the neighbourhood of Gdansk airport, its further expansion prospects are limited. On the other hand, in the submission of 6 December 2012 Poland argued that there are no restrictions regarding the expansion of Gdansk airport and to this effect it referred to the Master plan of Gdansk aiport.
(61)
Poland states that the safety of aircraft operations further justifies the construction of a hub of airports in the Tricity area with Gdynia airport serving as a back-up, emergency airport (landing in Gdynia airport is possible in ca. 80 % of cases when cloud base and visibility do not allow landing in Gdansk airport).
(62)
Lastly, Poland argues that the development of Gdynia airport corresponds to the objectives of national and regional strategic documents concerning the development of aviation infrastructure in Poland. Poland clarifies that the development of Gdynia airport has an expected positive impact on the development of the Pomeranian Region and the use of existing military infrastructure, and is complementary to Gdansk Airport.
Necessity and proportionality of infrastructure
(63)
Poland argues that the infrastructure is necessary and proportionate to the objective set because of its small scale of the airport’s operations (1,55 % share in the Polish aviation market in 2030), forecasts for passenger traffic volumes that exceed Gdansk airport’s expansion capacity, the attractiveness of the region for tourism and the projected high rate of development for the Pomeranian Region.
(64)
Poland emphasizes the strategic role of the military airport of Gdynia in the region and notes that the use of the existing infrastructure minimizes investment costs and maximizes the positive impact on the regional development.
(65)
Poland also points out that the costs have been minimized and the effectiveness of the investment has been increased through the implementation of technical solutions such as, for example, the construction of the general aviation terminal for both general aviation and passenger traffic, the placement of the majority of airport services (border guards, customs offices, the police, fire brigade, management) in a single building and the adaptation of other existing buildings to optimise their use. Moreover, operating costs of the infrastructure will be shared with the army.
Satisfactory medium-term prospects for use
(66)
Poland points out that given the GDP growth in the Pomeranian Region that is expected to be higher than the average growth for Poland and the EU, the region’s touristic attractiveness, its status as a hub of foreign investments and increasing air traffic forecasts, the medium-term prospects for use for Gdynia airport are satisfactory.
(67)
Poland stresses that the planned collaboration with Gdansk airport and the complementarity of services offered by the two airports (as such, Gdynia airport will be dedicated mainly to general aviation traffic) further strengthen the medium and long-term prospects for Gdynia airport.
(68)
Poland further explains that the airport has also plans to develop specialised aviation-related activities within the airport zone, such as for example a production of simple service components, refitting of parts in aircrafts or the production of other components/products for which deliveries are handled in the ‘just in time’ model.
(69)
Poland points out that a letter of intent, signed by a commercial bank that expresses the bank’s willingness to open talks on financing the investment into Gdynia airport is another proof of the project’s attractiveness.
Impact on the development of trade contrary to the common interest
(70)
Since Gdynia airport is to be an airport with a small market share (and would serve less than 1 million passengers per annum), Poland considers that the impact on trade of the project is not contrary to the common interest. In the light of projected growth in air traffic, Poland foresees that the airports of Gdansk and Gdynia will form a collaborating aviation hub serving the Pomeranian Tricity area offering complementary services.
(71)
Poland stresses that Gdynia airport will not be a competitor for Gdansk airport as it will focus on the provision of services for general aviation sector (maintenance, repair and overhaul services, a flight academy), and collaboration with Gdynia seaport.
(72)
Poland further argues that charter and low-cost traffic at Gdynia airport will not be at the cost of Gdansk airport, but will result from an overall increase in wealth and mobility of the population. Poland points out that taking into account the rate at which Gdansk airport is growing and the nature of the aircraft operations it handles, there is a risk that Gdansk airport will soon have to limit the number of flights or, in the long-term. Poland states that these conclusions are presented in the environmental impact assessment report on the project ‘Expansion of the Lech Walesa Gdansk Airport’.
(73)
Poland clarifies that the investment into Gdynia airport may limit financial and social costs that will have to be borne if the operation at Gdansk airport would be restricted. Poland points out that taking over a part of air traffic from Gdansk airport by Gdynia airport will result in a better use of the capacity of both airports.
Necessity of aid and incentive effect
(74)
Poland argues that the company would not have carried out the project without public financing. Poland notes that the aid was limited to a minimum and costs of the project were reduced and optimised through the use of existing military infrastructure.
(75)
In the view of Poland, the capital injections into Gdynia airport are necessary and limited to a minimum, as evidenced by:
(i)
the project’s internal rate of return of […] % that is only slightly higher than the discount rate (cost of equity), equal to […] % (based on the 2012 MEIP Study);
(ii)
the necessity to use a working capital loan to finance the airport’s operations as otherwise the Company might lose liquidity according to financial projections;
(iii)
the fact that the total financing from the equity capital is lower than total capital expenditure (financing from the equity capital accounts for less than […] of total cash costs in the forecasted period, including total capital expenditure).
(76)
Poland further clarifies the proportionality of the aid measure by comparing its public financing (ca. PLN 148 in real terms) with that of a greenfield investment (Lublin-Świdnik Airport, ca. PLN 420 million net construction costs) and an investment based on a military airport (Warsaw-Modlin Airport, ca. PLN 454 million construction cost to date).
3.2.2. Operating aid
(77)
Poland argues that the compatibility criteria for operating aid that can be applied in a region covered by Article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU, included in the Regional Aid Guidelines, are met by the project. In view of Poland, the operating aid for the project:
(i)
is allocated to finance a part of predetermined expenditure;
(ii)
is limited to a necessary minimum and granted on a transitory basis (the aid for operating costs is granted to the extent and for the period necessary to put an airport into operation, i.e. until the end of 2018);
(iii)
is degressive and decreases from […] % of capital expenditure in 2013 to […] % in 2018;
(iv)
is designed to meet the project’s goals of regional development and alleviation of existing limitations. Taking into account the size of the aid in relation to its beneficial effects on the development of the Pomeranian Region, in view of Poland, it must be stated to be proportional.
(78)
Furthermore, Poland stresses that the aid is intended for a small airport with up to 1 million passengers per annum and, as such, poses a minimum risk to the distortion of competition and the exertion of an effect contrary to the common interest, particularly in the context of planned collaboration between, and complementarity of, Gdynia and Gdansk airports.
(79)
Poland also points out that the currently negotiated cooperation with, and participation in the airport’s operating costs by the military user of the airport will reduce company’s losses and operating costs.
4. OBSERVATIONS FROM THIRD PARTIES
(80)
The Commission has not received observations from interested parties following the publication of its decision to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 108(2) of the TFEU in respect to the financing granted to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd by Gdynia and Kosakowo.
5. ASSESSMENT
5.1. EXISTENCE OF STATE AID
(81)
By virtue of Article 107(1) of the TFEU ‘…any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market.’
(82)
The criteria provided for in Article 107(1) of the TFEU are cumulative. Therefore, in order to determine whether the measure in question constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU all of the following conditions need to be fulfilled. Namely, the financial support should:
(i)
be granted by the State or through State resources;
(ii)
favour certain undertakings or the production of certain goods;
(iii)
distort or threaten to distort competition; and
(iv)
affect trade between Member States.
5.1.1. Economic activity and notion of undertaking
(83)
According to settled case law, the Commission must first establish whether the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd is an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU. The concept of an undertaking covers any entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of its legal status and the way in which it is financed (27). Any activity consisting in offering goods or services on a given market is an economic activity (28).
(84)
In its ‘Leipzig-Halle airport’ judgment the Court of Justice confirmed that the operation of an airport for commercial purpose and the construction of the airport infrastructure constitute an economic activity (29). Once an airport operator engages in economic activities by offering airport services against remuneration, regardless of its legal status or the way in which it is financed, it constitutes an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, and the Treaty rules on State aid are therefore capable of applying to advantages granted by the State or through State resources to that airport operator (30).
(85)
In this regard the Commission notes that the infrastructure which is the subject of the present decision is to be operated on a commercial basis by the airport manager, Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd Since the airport manager will charge users for the use of this infrastructure, the latter is commercially exploitable. It follows that the entity exploiting this infrastructure constitutes an undertaking for the purposes of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
(86)
However, not all the activities of an airport manager are necessarily of an economic nature (31).
(87)
The Court of Justice (32) has held that activities that normally fall under State responsibility in the exercise of its official powers as a public authority are not of an economic nature and do not fall within the scope of the rules on State aid. Such activities include for example security, air traffic control, police, customs, etc. The financing has to be strictly limited to compensation of the costs to which they give rise and may not be used instead to fund other economic activities (33).
(88)
Therefore, the financing of activities falling within the public policy remit or of infrastructure directly related to those activities in general does not constitute State aid (34). At an airport, activities such as air traffic control, police, customs, fire fighting, activities necessary to safeguard civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference and the investments relating to the infrastructure and equipment necessary to perform these activities are considered in general to be of a non-economic nature (35).
(89)
However, public financing of non-economic activities necessarily linked to the carrying out of an economic activity, must not lead to undue discrimination between airlines and airport managers. Indeed, it is established case law that there is an advantage when public authorities relieve undertakings of the costs inherent to their economic activities (36). Therefore, if in a given legal system it is normal that airlines or airport managers bear the costs of certain services, whereas some airlines or airport managers providing the same services on behalf of the same public authorities do not have to bear those costs, the latter may enjoy an advantage, even if those services are considered in themselves as non-economic. Therefore, an analysis of the legal framework applicable to the airport operator is necessary in order to assess whether under that legal framework airport managers or airlines are required to bear the cost of the provision of some activities that might be non-economic in themselves but are inherent to the deployment of their economic activities.
(90)
Even though the activities set out in recital 88 may be considered of a non-economic nature, the Commission observes that according to the Polish law (37) airports managers are obliged to finance the facilities and equipment necessary to perform these activities from their own resources.
(91)
Therefore, the Commission considers that the public funding provided to the airport manager of Gdynia airport in relation to the above mentioned facilities and equipment relieves it from bearing costs that are inherent to its economic activity (see section 5.1.3). As a consequence, the Commission concludes that in calculating the profitability of the investment at stake it should also include the capital allocated to those facilities and equipment. In doing so the Commission follows the approach correctly followed by Poland in the MEIP studies.
5.1.2. State resources and imputability to the State
(92)
The concept of State aid applies to any advantage granted through State resources by the State itself or by any intermediary body acting by virtue of powers conferred on it (38). Resources of local authorities are for the application of Article 107 of the TFEU State resources (39). In the present case, the capital injections into Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd are provided directly from the budgets of the two municipalities, Gdynia and Kosakowo. The Commission therefore considers that the resources of the two municipalities involved are State resources.
(93)
Thus, the Commission considers that they are financed through State resources and are also imputable to the State.
5.1.3. Economic advantage
(94)
The Commission observes that Poland argues on the one hand that the capital injections are in line with the MEIP, on the other hand it considers that the aid is compatible, because without the public funding the investment would not have been undertaken by the operator of the airport.
(95)
In the present case in order to determine whether the measure at stake grants Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd an advantage that it would not have received under normal market conditions, the Commission has to compare the conduct of the public shareholders of the airport manager to a market economy investor who is guided by prospects of profitability in the long-term (40).
(96)
The assessment should leave aside any positive repercussions on the economy of the region in which the airport is located, since the Court has clarified that the relevant question for applying the MEIP study is whether ‘in similar circumstances a private shareholder, having regard to the foresee ability of obtaining a return and leaving aside all social, regional-policy and sectoral considerations, would have subscribed the capital in question’ (41).
(97)
Poland argues that the measures at stake do not grant an economic advantage to the airport manager of Gdynia airport, because they are in line with the MEIP. As described in section 3.1, in order to support this, Poland submitted three MEIP studies that have been undertaken by PWC (42). In November 2013, Poland further submitted that new sources of revenue would enhance the NPV of the project (i.e. the sale of fuel, navigation services). At the time of the opening decision, Poland had only submitted the 2012 MEIP update.
(98)
Even though according to the 2011 shareholder agreement Gdynia and Kosakowo committed to provide cash and non-cash contributions to finance the investment project until 2040, Poland argues that only the 2012 MEIP update and the later information on the additional revenue streams are relevant for the assessment of the market conformity of the capital injections.
(99)
In Stardust Marine the Court stated that, ‘[…] in order to examine whether or not the State has adopted the conduct of a prudent investor operating in a market economy, it is necessary to place oneself in the context of the period during which the financial support measures were taken in order to assess the economic rationality of the State’s conduct, and thus to refrain from any assessment based on a later situation’ (43).
(100)
Furthermore, the Court declared in the EDF case that, ‘[…] for the purposes of showing that, before or at the same time as conferring the advantage, the Member State took that decision as a shareholder, it is not enough to rely on economic evaluations made after the advantage was conferred, on a retrospective finding that the investment made by the Member State concerned was actually profitable, or on subsequent justifications of the course of action actually chosen’ (44).
(101)
In order to be able to apply the MEIP the Commission has to place itself at the time when each decision to finance the conversion of the former military airport into a civil aviation airport was taken. The Commission must also base its assessment on the information and assumptions, which were at the disposal of the public shareholders at the time, when the decision regarding the financial arrangements of the investment project was taken.
(102)
The Commission considers that in order to determine whether the municipalities of Gdynia and Kosakowo acted as a private investor, the first relevant analysis is the 2010 MEIP study. Indeed, the assessment of whether State intervention is in line with market conditions should be carried out on the basis of an ex-ante analysis, considering information and data available at the time the investment was decided upon.
(103)
The Commission observes that up to 2010, studies and preparatory works for the investment project in question were carried out. These included the Master Plan of the investment project, the environmental report, the design documentation of the general aviation terminal, the design documentation of the administration building and the fire brigade building, specialist aviation documents and other studies. By the end of 2010, these studies were carried out for a total of PLN […] million (EUR […]) (45). That shows that the investors took the decision to develop the Gdynia airport before 2010. Gdynia and Kosakowo took several preliminary measures in order to implement the project (see recital 10 above) and specific studies were commissioned with that purpose.
(104)
Moreover, as argued by Poland in 2010 the public shareholders of the airport manager had finalised the preparations for the investment project at stake. In the same year, the public shareholders increased the company’s share capital to PLN 6,05 million (around EUR 1,5 million) in view of implementing that investment project. The main investments in fixed assets (such as the construction of the general aviation terminal) were expected to start in 2011, but effectively started in 2012. The Commission believes that any private investor would have assessed at that moment the expected profitability of the project. In case the investment plan would not show an acceptable rate of return or if it were based on doubtful assumptions a private investor would not have started implementing the plan and would not have spent any further money on it, on top of those already spent for the preparatory works mentioned in the recital above.
(a) Capital Injections
(105)
With respect to capital injections, the Commission notes that the first important capital injection of PLN 4,4 million was decided on 29 July 2010 (almost quadrupling the existing capital of PLN 1,7 million), right after the 2010 MEIP study of 16 July 2010 was finalized. In addition, the agreement on the further capital injections (until 2040) to finance the conversion project (mentioned above in recital 33) was signed in March 2011 (even before the finalization of the second MEIP study of 13 May 2011). Moreover, at the same time also the operational agreement with the military user of the airport (7 March 2011) and the rental agreement for the land of the company (11 March 2011 (mentioned above in recital 33)) were concluded.
(106)
The Commission also underlines that Poland confirmed that the capital injection decided on 29 July 2010 was based on the economic assessment of the project contained in the 2010 MEIP study. It is therefore clear that at this stage the public shareholders had resolved to engage in the investment project in question to be realised over 30 years. Even though it is possible for a private investor to adjust its investment plan in the course of its implementation in the light of changing circumstances, it is clear that any private investor would have assessed the merits of the investment project at hand already in 2010 before starting to put substantial resources in it.
(107)
By the time the first update of the MEIP was conducted in 2011, the public shareholders had already injected PLN 6,05 million into the company (see Table 3). The company had already leased the land of the airport from Kosakowo (the rental agreement between Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd and Kosakowo was signed on 11 March 2011) and also had signed the operational agreement with the military user of the airport (7 March 2011). In addition, on 11 March 2011, the shareholders signed an agreement on the increases of share capital of the company until 2040 (46). And by the time the second update of the MEIP study was finalised in July 2012, the public shareholders had injected a total of PLN 64,810 million (i.e. about 70 % of all capital injected). The Commission stresses that it is undisputed that the 2011 and 2012 MEIP studies represent adjustments to the initial investment plan, on the basis of which the initial decision to embark in the project to convert the military airport was taken. Hence, even though the bigger capital injections were implemented further to the first MEIP study of 2010, those injections cannot be seen in isolation.
(b) Capital Expenditures
(108)
In the 2012 MEIP study, the investments in fixed assets are divided into 4 phases. The first phase of the investment project concerned the design work but also the site clearing (tree and shrub clearing, demolishment of certain hangars and ground levelling). These costs were incurred in 2011 for a total of PLN […] million (EUR […]). The second phase of the project, involving the construction of the general aviation terminal, the administration building and the fire brigade building started in 2012 already. The second phase of the project is the most important in terms of capital expenditures with more than […] % of nominal capital expenditures (hereinafter: ‘capex’) spent in 2012-2013. According to the information submitted by Poland, the capital expenditures in 2012 amount to PLN […] million (of which more than half had already been spent by the time the updated 2012 study was undertaken). The graph below (Figure 2) shows the (nominal) capex by investment phase as presented in the 2012 MEIP study.
Figure 2
Capex by Phase (2012 MEIP study)
[…]
(109)
In view of the recitals 103 and 108, the Commission considers that neither the 2011 MEIP nor the 2012 MEIP study updates were conducted at the time and on the basis of the information at the disposal of the public shareholders when the main decision to finance the conversion project was taken. Furthermore, the Commission cannot retroactively take into account the expected additional sources of revenues, based on the information provided in November 2013, in order to justify the decisions taken by the public shareholders in 2010 and 2011.
(110)
Hence, in the light of the foregoing, the Commission considers that in order to assess whether Gdynia and Kosakowo adopted the conduct of a private investor operating in a market economy, it must base first of all its assessment on the 2010 MEIP study and disregard any further developments and information that were not at the disposal of those public shareholders at the time when they took their decision to realise the investment project in question.
(111)
On the other hand, the 2011 MEIP study and the 2012 MEIP study assessed only the amendments to the initial decision to embark in the investment project that was taken in 2010 on the basis of the 2010 MEIP study. Indeed, the 2012 MEIP study recognizes that a number of investments (such as the general aviation terminal, administration building, electricity power system) were already in ‘advanced stages of implementation’. The two subsequent studies show that the shareholders were following market developments and were accordingly adapting the scope of the project (either upwards or downwards depending on the investment item). However, those changes were only marginal relative to the overall decision to convert the military base into a civil aviation airport. The graph below (Figure 3) shows the capital expenditures as presented in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 MEIP studies (expressed in 2010 real terms). As can be seen, while the timing and extent of the investments were updated both in 2011 and 2012, these changes were not substantial regarding the overall size of the project. In 2010, the real capex was estimated at about PLN […] million and this figure was […] to about PLN […] million in both 2011 and 2012 (i.e. […] % over an investment period of almost 20 years).
(112)
In substance, in the present case the Commission has to assess a series of investment decisions taken over a short period of time, which is not characterised by the occurrence of unforeseeable events, by the same public shareholders, for the implementation of essentially the same investment project. Therefore, the 2011 and the 2012 MEIP update cannot transform an investment decision that did not comply with the MEIP at the moment it was taken, into a reasonable investment decision. At best they could demonstrate that the Polish authorities behaved as a private investor, only if they would show that, by investing additional funds, the project was expected to yield a return capable of adequately remunerating the capitals already invested and to be invested (or that would appropriately remunerate those capitals even when taking into account the risk of having to repay any illegal aid received in the past).

The 2010 MEIP study, provided by Poland, is based on a business plan projecting the future cash flows for the equity investors for the period 2010–2040. At the time when the MEIP study was conducted, Poland expected that the airport would start serving general aviation traffic in 2011, charter flights in 2013 and LCCs in 2015. This would result in a steady increase in the number of passenger served from […] passengers in 2013 up to almost […] million in 2024 and 1,753 million in 2040 as shown in Table 5 below).

According to the 2010 MEIP study, the company would be profitable at EBITDA level as from 2018. The annual discounted cash flow would become positive as of 2020 as illustrated in the graph below (Figure 4). However, on a cumulative basis (i.e. in each year the cash flows of the previous years), the total DCF over the entire period 2010-2040 is expected to be negative (as illustrated in Figure 1). In other words, the positive cash flows expected to be generated as of 2018 are not high enough to compensate for the highly negative cash flows of the early investment periods.

(115)
After 2040, it was expected that the airport manager would grow forever at a stable growth rate of the free cash flow of […] %. Under this assumption, Poland calculated the terminal value of the airport operator in 2040. The discounted Terminal Value amounts to PLN […] million.
(116)
The 2010 MEIP study results in a positive equity value (47) of PLN […] million (that is, around EUR […] million). The IRR for the investment project equals to […] % and it is higher than the assumed cost of capital of the airport manager ([…] %).
(117)
The Commission notes that key value drivers of the future cash flows of the manager of Gdynia airport are the expected revenues, which will be determined by the number of passengers and the level of airport charges paid by the airlines. The revenues from LCC and charter flights (passenger, landing, parking fees) account, in the 2010 MEIP study for [80 - 90] % of all revenues in 2040 and on the average for [80 - 90] % of all revenues in the whole assessed period 2010 to 2040. The Commission notes that this mere fact contradicts the statements by Poland that the activities of Gdynia airport would be complementary to those of Gdansk airport given that Gdynia would focus on general aviation activities. In fact, as shown by the figures presented above, the main source of revenues in most of the projection years comes from LCC and charter flights. However, as it will be further explained below, also the vast majority of Gdansk airport revenues come from LCC and charter flights (see recital 121).
(118)
In the context of passenger’s and air carriers’ demand, the Commission observes that Gdynia airport would have the same catchment area as Gdansk airport, located only around 25 kilometres from Gdynia airport. Gdansk airport was extended in 2012 to serve up to 5 million passengers and a further extension to serve up to 7 million passengers is foreseen for 2015. This extension schedule was publicly known already in 2010, i.e. at the time of preparation the 2010 MEIP study (48). Moreover, the public funding for the extension of Gdansk to the capacity of 5 million passengers was also notified to the Commission on 24 September 2008 under the State aid case no N472/08 and was approved by the Commission on 5 February 2009 (49).
(119)
Poland informed the Commission that the Master Plan for Gdansk airport prepared in 2010 (50) foresees the extension of the runway, aprons and other airport infrastructure that would allow serving more than 10 million passengers per annum at Gdansk airport in the future.
(120)
The Commission further observes that in 2010 Gdansk airport served 2,2 million passengers (i.e. used 45 % of its capacity, including the capacity under construction). According to the forecasts provided for Gdansk airport only 50 to 60 % of the available capacity will be used by 2020 (51). These forecasts do not take into account the start of operations of Gdynia airport (i.e. it is assumed that the whole demand in the catchment area will be served by Gdansk airport). The Commission notes that even under the assumption of a dynamic increase in passenger traffic, the Gdansk airport will be able to meet the demand in the region over a long period of time, i.e. at least until 2030.
(121)
As indicated above, the 2010 MEIP study for Gdynia airport foresees that the main part of the revenue ([80 - 90] % on the average for the whole period 2012–2040) would be generated by LCC’s and charter airlines. In this context, the Commission notes that also Gdansk airport serves mainly LCC and charter traffic. In 2010, passengers of LCC and charter flights accounted for 72 % of all passengers served in Gdansk airport (52).
(122)
In view of the close proximity of another established and uncongested airport pursuing the same business model with significant spare capacity in the long run, the Commission considers that the ability of the airport manager at Gdynia airport to attract traffic and passengers will essentially depend on the level of airport charges, which it will offer to airlines, notably in comparison with those of its closest competitors.
(123)
In this context, the Commission observes that the 2010 MEIP study foresees that the passenger fee for charter and LCC flights would amount to PLN 25/PAX (EUR 6,25) until 2014 and PLN 40/PAX (EUR 10) as of 2015 (and up until 2040). The landing fee for the same group of flights was set up at PLN 25/tonne (EUR 6,25) for the whole period (the average MTOW (maximum take-off weight) was presumed at 70 tonnes) while the parking fee was estimated at PLN 4 (EUR 1,0) per 24 h/tonne (the average MTOW amounts to 70 tonnes). According to the 2010 MEIP study, the prices were set at levels comparable to those in other regional airports at the time of the 2010 MEIP study was conducted. The prices for Gdynia airport were also set under the presumption that there will be no competition with Gdansk airport.
(124)
The Commission further notes that according to the schedule of tariffs that has been applied by Gdansk airport as from 31 December 2008, the standard passenger fee amounts to PLN 48/PAX (EUR 12,0), the standard landing fee for aircraft above 2 tonnes (i.e. including all charter and LCC aircraft) to PLN 25/tonne (EUR 6,25) and the parking fee to PLN 4,5/24 h/tonne (EUR 1,25).
(125)
The Commission, however, notes that the schedule of tariffs applied at Gdansk airport foresees also different discounts and rebates focused, among others, on LCC operations. Gdansk airport applies a reduced passenger fee amounting to PLN 24/PAX (EUR 6) to all new connections (starting as from 1 January 2004) and all increases in frequency carried out with an aircraft of MTOW between 50 and 100 tonnes (e.g. Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 and other aircraft used by LCCs). Also the landing fee applied for such connections is reduced by 50 % (i.e. to PLN 12,5/tonne). The parking fee is reduced by 100 %, if the frequency of a connection is at least 6 times/week. In addition, the standard passenger fee is first reduced by PLN 23 for all passengers departing with a regular domestic connection, and then an appropriate discount is applied. The Commission considers that taking into account the discounts and rebates applied at Gdansk airport the airport charges foreseen at Gdynia airport were set on average at a level, which is significantly higher than applied at the neighbouring well established airport.
(126)
By applying the airport charges in question, Gdynia airport, being a new entrant, will not be able to attract significant traffic, when a well-established airport with spare capacity in the same catchment area applies lower net charges on new connections and increased frequencies on existing routes. The Commission also notes that the schedule of airport charges for Gdansk airport foresees applying the discounted charges until 31 December 2028. Since airport charges are the main source of revenues for the airport manager contemplated in the 2010 MEIP study (based on the business plan of the airport operator at that point in time), the Commission considers that this analysis shows that the 2010 MEIP study is not sufficiently solid and credible to demonstrate that the investment project in question would have been pursued by a private investor.
(127)
The Commission also considers that taking into account that both Gdynia airport and Gdansk airport would mainly focus on low-cost and charter carriers, the fact that the Gdansk does not use its full capacity, the fact that its actual charges are lower than those assumed in the Gdynia business plan and the close proximity of the two airports, the presumption of a lack of price competition between both airports is not correct.
(128)
The Commission also notes that at the time of the preparation of the 2010 MEIP study the net charges (standard charges after applicable discounts), applied at Bydgoszcz (located 196 kilometres and 2 hours 19 minutes travelling time by car from Gdynia airport) and Szczecin airport (located 296 kilometres and 4 hours 24 minutes travelling time by car from Gdynia airport), the second and the third closest Polish regional airports, were significantly lower (53).
(129)
In view of the foregoing, the Commission considers that taking into account the close proximity of another uncongested airport pursuing the same business model, the airport charges foreseen in the 2010 MEIP study, which are set at the higher level than applied in Gdansk and at other regional airports located in its proximity, are not realistic. Furthermore, the Commission considers that taking into account the competitive situation of Gdynia airport the traffic forecasts included in the 2010 MEIP study are based on unrealistic assumptions.
(130)
Furthermore, it is worth noting that no sensitivity analysis was undertaken in the 2010 MEIP Study, nor any assessment of the likely probabilities of outcome (such as a worst-case, best-case and base-case scenario). Therefore, the Commission concludes that the scenario presented in the 2010 MEIP Study appears to rely on overly optimistic assumptions regarding the development of passenger traffic and the level of charges.
(131)
The Commission notes that reducing the annual revenues from passenger charges linked to the LCC and charter traffic by a mere […] % (over the projection period of 2010-2040) results in a negative equity value for the public stakeholders. Such a reduction from revenues could result from either lower charges and/or lower traffic than initially projected. In this respect, it is worth noting that the airport charges foreseen in the business plan used for the 2010 MEIP study are already […] % higher than those of Gdansk airport (54). In this context, it is highly unlikely that Gdynia airport would be able to attract traffic without providing any significant rebate to the PLN 40 (EUR 10) charges foreseen in the business plan. Hence, the high sensitivity of the NPV result to a seemingly marginal reduction in airport charges (relative to realistic assumptions) casts significant doubts as to the credibility of the initial business plan.
(132)
Whilst the 2010 MEIP study was based on traffic projections available at that time and any ex-post information should be not used to assess directly the MEIP study, the Commission still notes the extent to which such projections were over-optimistic. Indeed, comparing the traffic projections in 2010 and 2012 shows significant differences. Not only was the start of the project delayed, but in addition and over the ‘positive EBITDA’ period, traffic projections were reduced by […] to […] % in each year. Such a significant correction after just two years and without any significant alteration of circumstances constitutes a useful sense check of the initial assumptions. It further illustrates that the sensitivity checks performed by the Commission (which are marginal in comparison) are particularly informative of the unrealistic nature of the assumptions underpinning the conclusion that the project was worthwhile.

(133)
Further sensitivity tests suggest that the project would become unprofitable if the overall revenues were reduced by a mere […] % on an annual basis over the whole projection period, or if revenues were lower by […] % and operating expenses higher by […] %. Hence, the profitability of the investment is highly sensitive to marginal changes in the basic assumptions. The Commission considers such changes to be marginal in comparison with modifications implemented in the subsequent MEIP studies.
(134)
The sensitivity checks undertaken by the Commission seem all the more reasonable, because less than a year after the 2010 MEIP study, the Polish authorities received an updated analysis which led to the conclusion that the NPV of the project would be significantly reduced and amount to just PLN […] million (about EUR […]). Hence, in May 2011, the NPV of the project was reduced by […] % relative to the initial project.
(135)
The Commission further observes that the positive results of the 2010 MEIP study also largely depend on the terminal value of the investment at the end of the business plan’s period (i.e. in 2040). Indeed, the discounted cash flow of the company for the period 2010-2040 is negative and amounts to PLN (-[…] million). The terminal value discounted to 30 June 2010 amounts to PLN […] million.
(136)
The terminal value was calculated under the assumptions that the annual growth rate for the investment’s cash flow after 2040 would […] amount to […] %. According to standard practice the growth rate of the undertaking should not be higher than that of the economy in which it operates (i.e. in terms of GDP growth). Indeed, the terminal value is calculated at the time when the firm is expected to reach maturity and when the high growth period of the firm is thus over. Given that the economy is expected to be composed of both high and stable growth firms, the growth rate of mature firms is thus expected to be lower than the average growth rate of the overall economy. Poland did not indicate in its comments on which basis it selected the long-term growth rate of […] %, but it did clarify that the long-term growth rate is a nominal growth rate. Based on information available from the IMF, the Commission has found that the forecasts for real GDP growth in Poland available in early 2010 indicated that the nominal growth rate of the Polish economy would range from 5,6 % in 2011 to 6,6 % in 2015. With an inflation rate around 2,5 %, the real GDP growth could be expected to be equal to 4 %. Hence, the choice of a […] % nominal growth rate for the Gdynia airport could at first sight be deemed to be in line with the information available at the time and the standard practice of choosing a growth rate lower than the growth of the economy. Still, by choosing a long-term growth rate above inflation (which was estimated at 2,5 % in April 2010), the business plan assumes that the airport would continue to grow every year beyond 2040.

(137)
Moreover, the Commission notes that in this case, in view of the particularly long projection period and the distant date at which the terminal value was calculated, the task of determining the most appropriate growth rate is further compounded and the uncertainty is further enhanced. Indeed, forecasts for GDP growth rarely go beyond a five-year horizon while in this case, the model had to predict a reasonable growth rate for the airport after thirty years of operations. This fact indicates that a prudent investor would have undertaken several sensitivity tests.
(138)
In this respect, it is worth noting that in subsequent updates of the original business plan, the stable growth rate was reduced from […] % to […] %. Though Poland has not provided any clear explanation as to the reduction. The terminal value is a function of the assumed perpetual stable growth rate but also of the projected returns expected during the period of stable growth. The Commission undertook some sensitivity tests further confirming that the conclusion of the 2010 MEIP study is highly sensitive to minor and realistic modifications in the basic assumptions. First, the stable growth rate at which the 2010 business plan yields a negative NPV is around […] %. However, if revenues are assumed to be merely […] % lower than projected, the stable growth rate at which the project becomes unprofitable is […] %.
(139)
The stable growth rate model used to calculate the terminal value in this case also requires making assumptions about the date at which the firm will grow at a stable rate which it can sustain forever. In the 2010 MEIP study, this date was set in 2040 and the projection period was therefore taken as 30 years (2010-2040). In the 2012 MEIP update, the projection period was reduced to 18 years (2012-2030) and the terminal value was therefore calculated in 2030. If the same time horizon is applied to the 2010 MEIP study, the NPV becomes negative.
(140)
The Commission also notes that the 2012 MEIP study specifically mentions that a prudent investor would have taken into consideration the fact that the project entails a particularly long time-horizon before reaching profitability (See Section 4.10.1.2 of the 2012 MEIP Study in which it is concluded that ‘The positive result of the net present value proves that the investment in the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport can be an interesting business for potential investors. However, before any decisions are made, investors will have to consider also the long-term investment horizon typical of infrastructure investment projects’).
(141)
The Commission notes that in 2010, when the first MEIP study was conducted, the business plan and the NPV calculations took into account all capital expenditures, including those relating to the public remit obligations (such as fire brigade, security, customs, etc.). The Commission notes that this approach appears correct given that such expenses are intrinsically linked to the construction and operation of the airport (and hence are incremental to the project).
(142)
Nevertheless, the Commission has also assessed the profitability of the project on the basis of the 2010 MEIP study without the capital expenditures for tasks falling within public policy remit.
(143)
The information submitted by Poland does not allow identifying precisely which elements of the capital expenditures and of operating expenses relate to public remit expenses. The Commission notes that in the 2012 MEIP update Poland has disaggregated the investments falling within public policy remit; however this was not the case for the 2010 MEIP study. Nevertheless, the Commission re-calculated the NPV excluding a number of identifiable capital expenditures that are clearly related to public remit activities. In particular, the Commission recalculated the NPV excluding the following capital expenses: ‘Car fire fighting and equipment’, ‘Airport fence and monitoring’ and ‘Equipment for airport security guard’ amounting to PLN […] million (nominally in total)
(144)
In the 2010 MEIP study, the consequence of removing public remit expenses is that the discounted cash flow increases to about PLN (-[…]) million (or in other words, the expected discounted loss over the period 2010-2040 is reduced by PLN […] million from PLN (-[…]) million to PLN (-[…]) million). Given that the terminal value is not altered (and equal to PLN […] million), the NPV of the project increases from PLN […] million to PLN […] million (i.e. it increases from EUR […] million to about EUR […] million).
(145)
Further sensitivity tests were undertaken and indicate that the NPV becomes negative if the following alterations are implemented: a reduction in total revenues by […] %, a reduction in revenues from airport charges by […] % or a reduction in total revenues by […] % associated with costs that are higher by […] % (all on an annual basis). In view of the highly unrealistic assumptions regarding airport charges ([…] % higher than Gdansk airport (55)) and the overly optimistic traffic projections (reviewed projections of […] % to […] % lower than initially foreseen), such sensitivity tests suggest that slightly more realistic assumptions lead to a conclusion that the project would not be profitable.
(146)
Once the identifiable public remit expenses in the 2010 MEIP study are excluded, sensitivity tests suggest that the NPV would become negative if the expected revenues from LCC airport charges (without any reduction of the airport charges for charters) were to be reduced by […] % on an annual basis whilst keeping charter revenues, all other revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures as forecasted in the business plan (considering that LCC revenues start being generated in 2017 and progressively increase over time).
(147)
Furthermore, it is worth reminding that the project is only profitable due to the terminal value (i.e. the value of the airport as of 2040 assuming a […] % perpetual annual growth of cash flow). Up to 2040, the project generates negative cash flow.
(148)
Therefore, even the assessment of the profitability of the project on the basis of the 2010 MEIP study without the capital expenditures for tasks falling within public policy remit does not lead to conclusive evidence that a private investor would have carried out the investment in question.
Summary and Conclusion
(149)
The conversion project of Gdynia airport entails significant investments and a long-period of negative cash flows. Indeed, the business plan shows that over the projection period of 2010-2040, the cumulative discounted cash flow is negative (and equal to minus PLN […] million or minus EUR […] million). According to the business plan, the project only becomes positive due to the discounted terminal value of PLN […] million calculated as of 2040 and forever, assuming that the airport will grow annually and forever thereafter at a nominal growth rate of […] %). Despite the inherent and significant uncertainties related to a project of such long-term nature, the business plan contains no sensitivity analysis and this is not in line with the type of analysis that a prudent investor would have undertaken for such a project.
(150)
Further, the Commission’s analysis concluded that the business plan relies on a series of optimistic and unrealistic assumptions in view of the proximity of the airport to the Gdansk airport which has the same business model, spare capacity and expansion plans. Several sensitivity tests indicated that the NPV of the project becomes negative with minor and realistic modifications to the underlying assumptions.
(151)
In view of the foregoing, the Commission considers that on the basis of the 2010 MEIP study a private investor would not have taken the decision embark in the investment project in question. Therefore the decision of Gdynia and Kosakowo municipalities confers an economic advantage to the airport manager, which it would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
The application of the MEIP on the basis of the 2011 MEIP study and 2012 MEIP update
(152)
As regards the MEIP studies carried out in 2011 and 2012 (and the funds that according to Poland were injected into the airport manager following those studies), the Commission considers that those capital injections had been already committed in the shareholder agreement signed on 11 March 2011 (see recital (33) further above), i.e. before the 2011 and the 2012 MEIP studies were carried out. Therefore, when the 2011 and 2012 MEIP studies were carried out, the investment decisions of the shareholders were already taken, even though they have been executed at a later point in time. Moreover, the Commission considers that the capital injections executed after the 2011 and 2012 MEIP studies have been carried out cannot be regarded as autonomous investment decisions taken in isolation, since they concern the same investment project, which the public shareholders started to execute at the latest in 2010, and they merely reflect adjustments or amendments to the initial project.
(153)
Therefore, as already mentioned, the Commission considers that those study could demonstrate that Poland behaved as a private investors only if they would show that by investing additional funds, the project would yield a return capable of adequately remunerating the capitals already invested and to be invested (or that would appropriately remunerate those capitals even when taking into account the risk of having to repay any illegal aid received in the past).
(154)
However, far from showing the above, those studies do not appear reliable for the reasons that will be explained below.
The application of the MEIP on the basis of the 2011 MEIP update
(155)
The first update of the MEIP study was conducted in May 2011. Even though the capital injections executed after this MEIP study was carried out were committed before May 2011 (see recital 33 further above), the Commission has also assessed whether on the basis of the information contained in this economic study the capital injections would appear to reflect the behavior of a private investor operating in a market economy. In the 2011 MEIP study, the revenues from the project were kept constant but the capital expenditures were increased (see Figure 3 showing the cumulative investment expenditures expressed in real 2010 terms). This study takes also into account the previous capital injections and the already carried out capital expenditures. The WACC was slightly reduced (from […] % down to […] %) and the long-term growth rate was reduced from […] % to […] %. Those updates led to the NPV being significantly reduced to PLN […] million (about EUR […]). This was due to a higher loss (the discounted cash flow over the period 2011-2030 would be equal to PLN (-[…] million) and the terminal value would be slightly decreased to PLN […] million.
(156)
Consequently, the Commission concludes that also on the basis of the 2011 MEIP update the decision of Gdynia and Kosakowo municipalities to finance the conversion of Gdynia-Kosakowo (Gdynia-Oksywie) airfield into a civil aviation airport is not in line with the MEIP, and therefore it confers an economic advantage that the airport manager would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
The application of the MEIP on the basis of the 2012 MEIP update
(157)
Poland considers that the Commission should assess the compliance with the MEIP on the basis of the 2012 MEIP study. In order to reply to that argument, even though the capital injections executed after this MEIP study was carried out, were committed before (see recital 33 further above), the Commission has also assessed whether on the basis of the information contained in this economic study the capital injections would appear to reflect the behavior of a private investor operating in a market economy.
(158)
The Commission notes that the 2012 MEIP update takes into account the previous capital injections and the already carried out capital expenditures. The 2012 MEIP update shows that the financing provided to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd results in a positive equity value of PLN […] million (around EUR […] million) for its shareholders. In addition, the IRR of the investment project amounting to […] % is higher than the assumed cost of capital of the airport manager ([…] %).
(159)
The 2012 MEIP study compares the equity value of the company with further investments, where the new airport becomes operational (the ‘basic scenario’), and the equity value of the company without further investments (the ‘counterfactual scenario’), where the investment project would be discontinued as of June 2012 (56).
(160)
In this context, the Commission has already concluded that the capital injections carried after 2010 cannot be considered in isolation from the initial investment decision that was taken in 2010. The correct counterfactual scenario in 2010 would have been not to start implementing the project. According to Poland the lease agreement allowed Kosakowo only to use the land for a civil aviation airport. The Commission notes that a private investor would not have had entered into such agreement in the first place if the plans to develop a new civil airport in the area would not show a realistic possibility to obtain a positive return from such an investment. Therefore, the counterfactual scenario defined in the 2012 MEIP update is distorted by a previous decision, which itself did not reflect the behaviour of a private investor. In other words, the correct counterfactual in 2010 as well as in 2012 would be that of not implementing the project of developing the civil airport in question, as all the capital injections and MEIP studies carried out by Poland concern the implementation of the same investment project.
(161)
In any case, the Commission observes that the basic scenario of the 2012 MEIP update provided by Poland is based on a business plan projecting the future cash flows for the equity investors for the period 2012–2030 (i. e. a period of a high growth) (57). The projected future cash flows are based on the assumption that the airport will start its activities in 2013. At the time when the 2012 MEIP update was conducted, Poland expected that the airport would serve around […] passengers in 2014 and progressively extend its activities up to […] passengers in 2020 and around […] million in 2028 (see passenger development forecast in Table 8 below).

(162)
According to the 2012 MEIP update it is expected that after 2030 the airport operator will grow endlessly at a stable growth rate of […]. Under this assumption, Poland calculated the terminal value of the airport operator in 2030.
(163)
The Commission notes that like in the 2010 MEIP study the key value drivers of the future cash flows of the manager of Gdynia airport are the expected aeronautical revenues, which will be determined by the number of passengers and level of airport charges paid by airlines.
(164)
With regard to the expected passenger development, Poland argues that the demand for air passenger services will increase over time together with the expected increase of Poland’s GDP and the region’s development. Poland is therefore of the opinion that the traffic projections are conservative and the actual traffic might be higher than the foreseen. According to Poland, the traffic forecast for the region updated in March 2013 foresees higher traffic than that applied in the 2012 MEIP update.
(165)
Poland argues that the business plan foresees that less than […] % of the passenger traffic in the region will be served by Gdynia airport. Moreover, according to Poland the aviation market development in the Pomeranian Region leaves a room for an additional small airport with services complementary to that of Gdansk airport.
(166)
With regard to passenger demand, the Commission considers that the arguments presented in recitals 118 and 129 concerning Gdynia’s competition for airlines and passengers with Gdansk airport are also valid for the assessment of the 2012 MEIP update.
(167)
The Commission observes in particular that the level of airport charges foreseen in the 2012 MEIP update was set at the same level as in the 2010 MEIP study. According to Poland, the charges used in the 2012 MEIP updated do not differ significantly from the standard tariffs charged by other small airports in Poland. Poland clarifies that the level of charges in the business plan is averaged for the whole business plan period (i.e. 2014 – 2040) and assumes that the long-term charges applied at Gdansk airport will have to increase following improved standard of services at that airport.
(168)
Since Gdansk, Bydgoszcz and Szczecin airports applied the same tariffs in 2012 as in 2010 (including the same discounts), the Commission assessment of the level of charges in the 2012 MEIP study for Gdynia airport is the same as for the 2010 MEIP studies (see recitals 122 to 129).
(169)
The Commission considers that a market economy investor guided by the prospect of profitability would not base any investment decision in the project in question on a level of charges that is significantly higher than the net charges applied in other Polish regional airports (58), especially at Gdansk airport.
(170)
The Commission also notes that the stress test conducted by Poland shows that the equity value turns negative, if the passenger charge is reduced to PLN […]. In this context, the Commission notes that a reduced airport charge, which would be comparable with the level of airport charges paid at other Polish regional airports (e.g. Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Szczecin, Lublin) would result in a negative equity value.
(171)
The Commission further considers that a market economy investor would not set its charges at a higher level under the assumptions that the charges at Gdansk airport would increase in the long-term. In this respect, the Commission observes that the schedule of charges applied at Gdansk airport foresees the application of discounts until 2028 (i.e. only two years shorter than the period covered in the business plan for the 2012 MEIP update). On this basis, even if the airport charges at Gdansk airport would increase after 2028, the Commission considers that the forecasted airport charges averaged over the period of the business plan (i. e. until 2030) are still above the average level of airport charges at the competing airport.
(172)
Poland confirmed that the 2012 MEIP update takes into account operating costs, which are related to the military operation at the airport. These costs are expected to be compensated by the State. Poland also confirmed that the share of costs (both operating and investment costs) between Gdynia airport and the military user has not yet been formally agreed.
(173)
The Commission considers that a market economy investor would base its assessment only on results foreseeable at the time it takes the investment decision. Therefore, the Commission considers that any possible cost reduction due to the sharing of costs with the military user of the airport (and the impact on the airport’s overall costs and revenues) should not be taken into account when assessing the compliance of the investment with the MEIP. Indeed, the 2012 MEIP study does not quantify the costs reductions that the airport manager could obtain in this connection.
(174)
As is the case for the 2010 MEIP study, the overall DCF for the project over the period 2012-2030 is negative as shown in the Figure 5. The airport would only start generating positive cash flows as of 2020, but given the long investment period, in discounted terms, the cumulative cash flow would remain negative over the projection period.
Figure 5

[…]
(175)
Consequently, the Commission concludes that also on the basis of the 2012 MEIP update the decision of Gdynia and Kosakowo municipalities to finance the conversion of Gdynia airfield into a civil aviation airport is not in line with the MEIP, and therefore it confers an economic advantage that the airport manager would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
The November 2013 update
(176)
The Commission further considers that modifications of the investment plan aiming at generating additional revenue from the sale of fuel by the airport (without an external operator) and offering navigation services should not be taken into account when assessing the compliance of the investment with the MEIP. Poland confirmed that these possible additional sources of revenue were neither included in the 2010 MEIP study, nor in the 2011 MEIP study and also not in the 2012 MEIP update prepared for Gdynia airport, because at the time of these studies were prepared the public shareholders and also the company could not be sure of obtaining all necessary permissions and concessions to provide such services. As at the time of the MEIP studies were conducted it was not likely that the necessary permissions and concession would be obtained, the Commission notes these developments cannot be taking into account retrospectively.
Conclusion
(177)
The Commission considers that the public funding provided by Gdynia and Kosakowo municipalities to the airport manager is not in line with MEIP. Therefore, the Commission considers that the measure at stake provides an economic advantage to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd that it would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
5.1.4. Selectivity
(178)
Article 107(1) TFEU requires that a measure, in order to be defined as State aid, favours ‘certain undertakings or the production of certain goods’. In the case at stake, the Commission notes that the capital injections concern the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd only. Thus they are selective by definition within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
5.1.5. Distortion of competition and effect on trade
(179)
When aid granted by a Member State strengthens the position of an undertaking compared with other undertakings competing in the internal market, the latter must be regarded as affected by that aid (59). The economic advantage granted by the present measure to the airport operator strengthens its economic position, as the airport operator will be able to set up its business without bearing the inherent investment and operating costs.
(180)
As assessed in section 5.1.1, the operation of an airport is an economic activity. Competition takes place on the one hand between airports to attract airlines and the corresponding air traffic (passengers and freight) and on the other hand between airport managers, which may compete between themselves to be entrusted with the management of a given airport. Moreover, the Commission underlines that notably in respect to LCCs also airports that are not located in the same catchment areas and in different Member States can be in competition with each other to attract those airlines. The Commission notes that Gdynia airport will serve around […] 000 passengers until 2020 and up to 1 million passengers in 2030.
(181)
As mentioned in paragraph 40 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, it is not possible to exclude even small airports from the scope of application of Article 107(1) of the TFEU. In view of the forecasted traffic at Gdynia airport and its proximity to Gdansk airport (only around 25 kilometers away) the Commission considers that competition and trade between Member States are capable of being affected.
(182)
On the basis of the arguments presented in recitals 179 to 181, the economic advantage which the manager of Gdynia airport receives strengthens its position vis-à-vis its competitors on the Union market of providers of airport services. Therefore, the public funding under examination distorts or threatens to distort competition and affects trade between the Member States.
5.1.6. Conclusion
(183)
In view of the arguments presented in the recitals 83 to 182, the Commission considers that the capital injections granted to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU. As the financing was already put at the disposal of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd the Commission also considers that Poland has not respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the TFEU (60).
5.2. COMPATIBILITY OF THE AID
(184)
The Commission has examined whether the aid at issue can be found compatible with the internal market. As described above the aid consist in financing investment costs for the realisation of Gdynia airport and operating losses during the first years of the operation of that airport (i.e. until 2019, including, according to both the 2010 MEIP study and the 2012 MEIP study).
(185)
Article 107(3) of the TFEU provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) of the TFEU that State aid is not compatible with the internal market. The aid in question can only be assessed on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the TFEU, which stipulates that: ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’, may be considered to be compatible with the internal market. In this regard, the 2005 Aviation Guidelines provide a framework for assessing whether aid to airport operators may be declared compatible pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the TFEU. They mention a number of criteria, which the Commission has to take into account.
5.2.1. Investment aid
(186)
State aid for financing airport infrastructure is compatible with Article 107(3)(c) of the TFEU, if it complies with the conditions laid down in paragraph 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines:
(i)
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.);
(ii)
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set;
(iii)
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure;
(iv)
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner; and
(v)
the development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Union interest.
(187)
In addition State aid to airports, as any other State aid measure, should have an incentive effect and should be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.
(188)
Poland is of the opinion that the public financing of the conversion project at Gdynia airfield complies with all criteria for investment aid under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
(i) Construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.)
(189)
The Commission notes that the Pomeranian Region is already efficiently served by Gdansk airport, which is located only around 25 kilometres away from the planned new airport.
(190)
The Gdansk airport is located next to the Tricity ring road, this road is a part of S6 express road that bypasses the cities of Gdynia, Sopot and Gdansk, and ensures easy access to the airport to the large majority of Pomerania Region’s inhabitants. Even for Gdynia’s inhabitants, the construction of a new airport would as such not lead to a substantial improvement in their connectivity, because both airports (Gdynia and Gdansk) can be reached from the centre of Gdynia in the same time of approximately 20-25 minutes by car.
(191)
The Commission also observes that the Tricity Metropolitan Rail link, which is co-financed with the Union structural funds and is under construction, will provide a direct rail connection from Gdansk airport both to Gdansk and Gdynia citizens from the centres of their cities in a similar time of around 25 minutes. The Tricity Metropolitan Rail will also provide direct or indirect rail connection to Gdansk airport to the citizens of other parts of the Pomeranian Region.
(192)
The Commission further observes that the current capacity of Gdansk airport is 5 million passengers per annum while the actual passenger traffic in 2010 to 2013 was as follows: 2010 – 2,2 million, 2011 – 2,5 million, 2012 – 2,9 million, 2013 – 2,8 million. The Commission also notes that Gdansk airport is being expanded now to the capacity of 7 million passengers per annum. This investment is to be finalised in 2015.
(193)
In addition, according to the traffic forecast for the Pomeranian Region, provided by Poland and used to prepare the 2012 MEIP update, the total demand in the region will […] passengers per annum […].
Table 9
Traffic projections for the Pomeranian Region (in millions)
2,8
[…]
[…]
[…]

[…]
7,7
(194)
The Commission further observes that according to the information provided by Poland, the Master Plan for Gdansk airport foresees further expansions of the airport to serve more than 10 million passengers per annum. Therefore, the concrete decision to expand the capacity of the Gdansk airport above 7 million can be taken in the future depending on the traffic developments.
(195)
According to Poland, the updated forecast (prepared in March 2013) shows that demand in the catchment area is expected to be higher than the traffic projections in 2012. According to the modified projections the demand in the catchment area amounts to around 9 million passengers in 2030. However, even this forecast shows that Gdansk airport alone would be sufficient, without a further investment, to serve the demand in the region at least until 2025 (on the basis of the adjusted traffic forecasts as described in recital 45).
(196)
Furthermore, according to the information provided by Poland the current capacity of the runway in Gdansk airport is 40-44 operations per hour and the current use is on average 4,7 operations per hour.
(197)
On the basis of information provided by Poland (see recitals 192–196 above) the Commission observes that Gdansk airport will be only used at around 50–60 % of its capacity in the coming years. Consequently, even in the event of a dynamic passenger growth in the Pomeranian Region, Gdansk airport will be able to meet the demand of airlines and passenger during a long period of time.
(198)
The Commission further observes that Gdansk airport offers more than 40 national and international destinations (both point to point connections and connections to hubs: Frankfurt, Munich, Warsaw and Copenhagen).
(199)
As mentioned in recital 60, Poland argues on the one hand that for land planning and environmental consideration the extension of the capacity of Gdansk airport is limited. On the other hand, Poland argues that there are no limitations to the capacity extensions at Gdansk airport. The Commission considers that the arguments regarding the capacity expansion restrictions are contradictory and in any case they are not substantiated and therefore, the Commission cannot base its assessment on them.
(200)
In view of the spare capacity of Gdansk airport that will not be fully used in the long-term, and the plan to further expand capacity at that airport if necessary in the long term, the Commission considers that the creation of another airports in the Pomeranian region would not contribute to the region’s development. The Commission further observes that with Gdansk airport the Pomeranian Region is already well connected and the new airport will not increase the connectivity of this region.
(201)
The Commission also notes that the business model of Gdynia airport suggests that it would compete for passengers with Gdansk airport in the LCC, charter and also general aviation markets. Moreover, the creation of a new airport to serve as a back-up, emergency airport cannot justify the scale of investment at Gdynia airport.
(202)
In the light of the above, the Commission considers that the investment at Gdynia airport will lead to a mere duplication of infrastructures in the region, which does not meet a clearly defined objective of common interest.
(ii) The infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set
(203)
As stated in recitals 189 to 202, the Commission considers that the catchment area of Gdynia airport is and will be efficiently served by Gdansk airport. In addition, both airports would pursue a similar business model and focus mainly on LCC’s and charters.
(204)
In absence of a clearly defined objective of common interest the Commission considers that the infrastructure cannot be considered to be necessary and proportional to an objective of common interest (see also recital 202 above).
(iii) The infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure
(205)
As stated in point (i), Gdynia airport is located only around 25 kilometres away from the existing Gdansk airport and both airport have the same catchment area and a similar business model.
(206)
The capacity of Gdansk airport is currently used at less than 60 %. Taking into account the investments currently being carried out, Gdansk airport is sufficient to serve, depending on the forecasts used, the demand in the region at least until 2025–2028 and further expansions of Gdansk airport are feasible.
(207)
The Commission also notes that the business plan for Gdynia airport shows that the airport would generate about [80–90] % of revenue from serving low-cost and charter carriers. It means that it would focus on markets that are a core business of Gdansk airport.
(208)
In this context, the Commission also observes that Poland did not provide any proofs of a possible collaboration between both airports.
(209)
Also plans to generate revenues from other aviation and non–aviation activities (production and services) would not alone be sufficient to cover the high operational costs related to running Gdynia airport.
(210)
Consequently, the Commission considers that Gdynia airport does not have satisfactory medium-term prospects for use.
(iv) All potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner
(211)
Poland confirmed that all potential users will have access to the airport infrastructure on an equal and non-discriminatory basis without any commercially unjustified discrimination.
(v) The development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the common interest
(212)
The Commission notes that Poland did not provided any proofs that Gdynia and Gdansk airport would form a collaborative aviation hub. Rather, it would seem logical that the two airports would have to compete for essentially attracting the same passengers.
(213)
The Commission further notes that the business plan of Gdynia airport (around [80 - 90] % of revenue generated by low-cost and charter flights) and the scale of investments (e.g. a terminal with the capacity of 0,5 million passengers per annum that is to be expanded in the future) do not confirm the view that Gdynia airport would focus on general aviation traffic and would provide only or mainly services to the general aviation sector.
(214)
Taking into account the above and the fact that both airports would focus first on LCC and charters, the Commission considers that the aid is directed to an airport, which would be in direct competition with another airport in the same catchment area without there being a demand for airport service that could not be served by the existing airport.
(215)
Therefore, the Commission considers that the aid in question would affect trade to an extent contrary to the common interest. The absence of a common interest objective that the aid is intended to achieve, strengthen that conclusion.
(vi) Necessity of aid and incentive effect
(216)
Based on the data provided by Poland the Commission considers that the investment costs can be lower than for the construction of other comparable regional airports in Poland. This is mainly due to usage of existing infrastructure of the military airport. Moreover, Poland argues that without the aid the investment would not be undertaken by the airport manager.
(217)
The Commission further observes that due to long period necessary to reach the break-even point for such type of investment the public financing could be necessary to change the behaviour of the beneficiary in such a way that it entered the investment. Moreover, since the expected profitability of the investment project cannot be established (see recital 177) and a market economy investor would not pursue such project, it is indeed likely that the aid changes the behaviour of the airport manager.
(218)
However, in absence of a clearly defined objective of common interest, the Commission concludes that the aid cannot be considered to be necessary and proportional to that objective.
(219)
Consequently, the Commission considers that the investment aid of Gdynia and Kosakowo in favour of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd does not comply with the requirements of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines and cannot be found compatible with the internal market.
5.2.2. Operating aid
(220)
The Commission is of the view that the financing of operating losses of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd constitutes operating aid, reducing the airport operator’s current expenditure. According to the case law of the Court, such operating aid is in principle incompatible with the internal market. According to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid granted to airports can only be declared compatible under exceptional circumstances and strict conditions in underprivileged regions.
(221)
The Commission notes that Gdynia airport is located in an underprivileged region covered by the derogation set out in Article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU, and thus, the Commission has to assess whether the operating aid at stake can be considered compatible under the RAG.
(222)
According to paragraph 76 of the RAG, the operating aid in regions eligible under the derogation in Article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU may be granted provided that following cumulative criteria are met: (i) it is justified in terms of its contribution to regional development and its nature and (ii) its level is proportional to the handicaps it seeks to alleviate.
(223)
Poland is of the opinion that the operating aid is compatible with the paragraph 76 of the RAG (see recitals 77–79).
(224)
Since the Pomeranian Region is already served by Gdansk airport and the new airport will not increase the connectivity of this region, the Commission cannot conclude that the aid would contribute to regional development.
(225)
The Commission considers that in absence of that, it cannot be concluded that the operating aid is proportional to the handicaps it seeks to alleviate, as the Pomeranian Region does not appear to suffer from any connectivity handicap.
(226)
Moreover, the Commission considers the assessed operating aid is allocated to a part of predetermined expenditure. However in the view of the Commission’s assessment of the business plan for Gdynia airport and it’s assessment of the level of foreseen revenues and costs, presented in section 5.1.3, it cannot be concluded that the aid would be limited to a necessary minimum, granted on a transitional basis and be degressive. In particular, with regard to the uncertainties regarding the expected profitability of the airport operator (see section on the existence of aid) the transitional nature and degressivity of the aid cannot be ensured.
(227)
In any case, the Commission considers that granting operating aid in order to ensure the operation of an investment project that benefits of incompatible investment aid is inherently incompatible with the internal market.
(228)
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid in favour of Gdynia-Kosakowo airport Ltd granted by Gdynia and Kosakowo does not comply with the criteria set out in the RAG.
5.2.3. Conclusion on comptibility
(229)
Consequently, the Commission concludes that the State aid granted to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd is incompatible with the internal market.
(230)
The Commission has not identified any other compatibility clause that could potentially be relevant for declaring the present aid compatible with the Treaty. Likewise Poland has invoked neither any compatibility clause nor provided any substantial arguments that would allow the Commission to declare the present aid compatible.
(231)
The investment and operating aid which Poland has granted or intends to grant in favour of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd are incompatible with the internal market. Poland has unlawfully implemented the aid in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
6. RECOVERY
(232)
In accordance with the TFEU and the Court of Justice’s established case-law, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid (61) when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market. The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation (62). In this context, the Court has stated that that objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored (63).
(233)
Following that case-law, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 (64) laid down that ‘where negative decisions are taken in respect of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.’
(234)
Therefore, the State aid mentioned above must be reimbursed to the Polish authorities, insofar as it has been paid out,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1

2. The State aid which Poland is planning to implement for Port Lotniczy Gdynia-Kosakowo sp. z o.o. after 17 June 2013 for the conversion of the military airport of Gdynia-Kosakowo into a civil aviation airport is incompatible with the internal market.

(2) With effect from 1 December 2009, Articles 87, and 88 of the EC Treaty have become Articles 107 and 108, respectively, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The two sets of Articles are in substance identical. For the purposes of this Decision references to Articles 107 and 108 of the TFEU should be understood as references to Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty when appropriate. The TFEU also introduced certain changes in terminology, such as the replacement of ‘Community’ by ‘Union’ and ‘common market’ by ‘internal market’. The terminology of the TFEU will be used throughout this Decision.
(3) See footnote 1.
(4) The distance by car between Gdynia and Gdansk airport is between 26-29 kilometres depending on the chosen route, source: Google maps, Bing maps. The Gdansk airport is owned and operated by the Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport Ltd, a company set up by public entities. The funding capital of the company is broken down as follows: city of Gdansk (32 %), Pomeranian Region (32 %), ‘Polish airports’ State Enterprise (31 %), city of Sopot (3 %), and city of Gdynia (2 %). Gdansk Lech Walesa airport (hereinafter: ‘Gdansk airport’) is the third largest airport in Poland. In 2012, it served 2,9 million passengers (2,7 million in regular traffic and 0,2 million in charters),
The following eight airlines operate regular routes from Gdansk airport (January 2014): Wizzair (22 destinations), Ryanair (7 destinations), Eurolot (4 destinations), Lot (2 destinations), Lufthansa (2 destinations), SAS (2 destinations), Air Berlin (1 destination), Norvegian (1 destination). After the opening of a new terminal in May 2012 Gdansk airport has an annual capacity of 5 million passengers. According to the information provided by Poland, the enlargement of the terminal (scheduled in 2013-2015) will result in an increase of the capacity to 7 million passengers. The investments at Gdansk airport were also financed though State aid (see the 2008 Commission decision in State aid case N 153/08; EUR 1,7 million; OJ C 46, 25.2.2009, p. 7 and the 2009 Commission decision in State aid case N 472/08, as the result around EUR 33 million granted to Gdansk Airport by the Polish authorities; OJ C 79, 2.4.2009, p. 2).
(5) The existing military airport is located on the border of the city of Gdynia and the municipality (gmina) of Kosakowo and is called the ‘Gdynia-Oksywie’ airfield.
(6) The agreement was signed by the authorities of the Pomeranian Region, the cities of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, the municipality of Kosakowo together with representatives of the Polish government (the voivod of Pomerania Region, Ministry of National Defence, Ministry of Transport) and Gdansk airport.
(7) The exchange rate used in this decision is 1 EUR equals 4 PLN corresponding to the 2010 annual average based on weekly exchange rates. Source: Eurostat.
(8) According to Poland the investments falling within public policy remit include: building and equipment for fire brigade, customs, airport security guards, police and border guards, airport fence with video surveillance etc.
(9) In nominal terms.
(10) Net Present Value indicates whether the income from a given project exceeds the (opportunity) costs of capital. The project is considered as an economically profitable investment when it generates a positive NPV. Investments producing lower income as the (opportunity) costs of capital are not economically profitable. The (opportunity) costs of capital are reflected in the discount rate.
(11) The terminal value is the present value of all subsequent cash flows generated under the stable growth rate forever (i. e. the equity value of the airport operator in the last year of the submitted business plan).

(16) The Master plan of the investment project has identified the different measures, which were necessary for the conversion of the airport.
(17) The FCFF evaluates in each year the EBIT of the firm to which depreciation and amortization are added (as these are non-cash expenses), less investment needs, changes in working capital and taxes (See Table 5 of the 2010 MEIP Study).
(18) The FCFF calculations are based on the expected cash flows (in and out of the company) for the projection period of 2010-2040. These cash flows are based on a business plan and its underlying assumptions about traffic, charges, operating costs and capital expenditures. Hence, in the FCFF calculation, all the capital expenditures foreseen to convert the airport are taken into account.
(19) The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets.
(20) This is based on a risk-free rate of […] %, a credit risk premium of […] %, a corporate tax rate of 19 %, a beta of […], a market rate premium of […] % and a capital structure of […] % debt and […] % equity (See Section 4.4 at page 21 of the 2010 MEIP Study). The Commission notes that the calculations submitted by Poland seem to indicate that a WACC with a downward term structure was used for the MEIP analysis.
(21) The terminal value was based on a stable growth assumption of […] %.
(22) The risk-free rate was increased to […] % and the beta was increased to […]. The capital structure was modified to a higher share of debt ([…] %) and a lower share of equity ([…] %).
(23) FCFE = FCFF + credits and loans taken – credits and loans repaid – interests on credits and loans. In comparison to the FCFF, FCFE are discounted with the return of equity rate that is always higher than WACC. As the result, NPV shows what part of the return generated by the investment is available to the shareholders (equity investors). The NPV calculated on the basis of the FCFE thus does not reflect the overall return on investment, i. e. return for the shareholders and return for the creditors.
(24) To reflect difference in a typical financing structure between airport and airport services companies, the return on equity for the latter had been levered before calculating averages.
(25) The risk-free rate was reduced to […] % and the beta was reduced to […].
(26) The Tricity is an urban area consisting of three major cities in the Pomeranian Region (i.e. Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot). Three airports are currently located in the Tricity area: the Lech Wałęsa Airport in Gdansk, the military airport in Pruszcz Gdanski and the military airport on the boarder of Gdynia and Kosakowo (Gdynia-Oksywie).

(45) See Section 4.7.5 of the 2012 MEIP Study. According to comments of Poland, until 26 June 2009, the total capital injections into Gdynia airport amounted to PLN 1,691 million (about EUR 423 000). Only PLN […] million (about EUR […]) were used to finance different studies undertaken in the preparation of the project.
(46) The agreement of 11 March 2011, foresees cash contributions of Gdynia in years 2011–2013, amounting in total to PLN 59,048 million (EUR 14,8 million) and non-cash contribution of Kosakowo (swap of annual rental fees into shares) in years 2011-2040.
(47) This equity value includes the net present value of the cash flows in 2012-2040 plus the discounted Terminal Value of the airport operator as calculated as of 2040.

(52) LCCs 64,5 %, charters 7,5 %. Together, it was 70 % both in 2009 and 2011.
(53) Bydgoszcz Airport: Standard departing passenger fee is equal to PLN 30 (EUR 7,5); standard landing fee is PLN 45/tonne (EUR 11,25) for first 2 tonnes of MTOW, PLN 40/tonnes (EUR 10) between 2 and 15 tonnes of MTOW, PLN 35/tonne (EUR 8,75) between 15 and 40 t MTOW, PLN 30 (EUR 7,5) between 40 and 60 t MTOW, PLN 25 (EUR 6,25) between 60 and 80 t MTOW and PLN 20 (EUR 5) for tonnes above 80 t MTOW; standard parking fee PLN 8/tonne/24 h (EUR 2; no fee for first 4 hours). Discounts: passenger fee from 5 % (if an air carrier has 100-300 passengers departing from Bydgoszcz Airport per month) to 50 % (if an air carrier has more than 8 000 passengers departing from Bydgoszcz per month Airport); landing fee – 50 % discount in first 12 months of a connection, 50 % if landing between 14,00 and 20,00; For landing and parking fees: 10 % if a carrier has 4-10 operations in a month, 15 % if 11-30 operations in a month, 20 % if more than 31 operations in a month by a carrier. Szczecin airport: standard departing passenger fee is equal to PLN 35 (EUR 8,75); standard landing fee is PLN 70/tonne (EUR 17,5); standard parking fee PLN 8/tonne/24 h (EUR 2; no fee for first 2 hours).

(54) Calculation for passenger charges for LCCs.
(55) See footnote 54.
(56) As the MEIP study was carried out in June 2012, the analysis is based on this date.
(57) A commonly used way to evaluate equity investment decisions is considering the equity value of the company. Equity value is the value of a company available to its owners or shareholders. The equity value is calculated by summing all future cash flows available for equity investors discounted at the appropriate return. The discount rate generally used is the cost of equity that reflects the risk of the cash flows.
(58) In addition to Gdansk, Bydgoszcz and Szczecin, the Commission analysed also airport charges at Lublin airport, a regional airport opened in December 2012. The standard departing passenger fee at Lublin airport is equal to PLN 34 (EUR 8,5); standard landing fee is PLN 36/tonne; standard parking fee is PLN is 15/tonne/24 h (no fee for first 4 hours). Discounts: if an air carrier opens an operational base in Lublin Airport, departing passenger fee is between PLN 4,21 (EUR 1,05) and PLN 5,76 (EUR 1,44) in the first five seasons (2,5 year); for parking and landing fees the discount is 99 %. After 5 seasons the discounts for new routes apply. Discount for new routes: for passenger, landing and parking fees discounts from 95 % in the first year of a connection to 25 % - 65 % in the fifth year (depending on the number of passengers). After the fifth year a discount equal to 60 % if an air carrier serves more than 250 000 departing passengers from Lublin Airport.
