COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 178/2006
of 1 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council to establish Annex I listing the food and feed products to which maximum levels for pesticide residues apply
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 and on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EE (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Annexes I, II, III and IV to that Regulation are to be established by the Commission, their establishment being a condition for the application of Chapters II, III and V of that Regulation. |
|
(2) |
It is necessary to include in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 all products for which presently Community or national MRLs exist as well as those for which it is appropriate to apply harmonised MRLs. |
|
(3) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. |
|
(5) |
Individual MRLs have not yet been required for fish, and for crops exclusively meant for animal feed, and no information is available as a basis for setting MRLs. It is appropriate to allow for the time needed to generate or collect this information. It is considered that a time period of three years should be sufficient to generate or collect this information, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The text in the Annex to this Regulation is added as Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

(1) The code number is introduced by this Annex and is intended to set a classification under this and other related Annexes of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The scientific name of the items listed in the column “Examples of individual products within the groups to which the MRLs apply”, where possible and relevant, is mentioned. As much as possible the International System of Nomenclature is followed.
(3) The word “others” covers anything not explicitly mentioned under the rest of the codes within “Groups to which the MRLs apply”.
(4) MRLs in Annex II and III for the product apply only for the product when used for human consumption. For parts of the product used exclusively as ingredients for animal feed, separate MRLs will be applicable.
(5) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of meat (including fat), preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of fat contained in the meat, preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg. The latter does not apply for cow’s milk and whole cream cow’s milk. It applies neither for the other products when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(6) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is /are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of milk and milk products. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk. In determining the residues in raw cow's milk and whole cream cow's milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat. For the other foodstuffs listed with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk, with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(7) Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird's eggs and egg yolks; Where the pesticide/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is also expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird's eggs and egg yolks. However, for eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 %, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.
(8) MRLs not applicable until the individual products are identified and listed.’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 179/2006
of 1 February 2006
introducing a system of import licences for apples imported from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Apple producers in the Community have recently found themselves in a difficult situation, due, among other things, to a significant increase in imports of apples from certain third countries of the Southern hemisphere. |
|
(2) |
The monitoring of the import of apples should therefore be improved. The appropriate instrument for achieving that objective is a mechanism based on issuing import licences subject to the provision of a security to ensure that the operations for which an import licence has been applied for are actually performed. |
|
(3) |
Commission Regulations (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2) and (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products (3) should apply. |
|
(4) |
The Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The release into free circulation of apples falling within CN code 0808 10 80 shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
2. Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply to import licences issued under this Regulation.
Article 2
1. Importers may submit import licence applications to the competent authorities of any Member State.
They shall enter the country of origin in box 8 of licence applications and mark the word ‘yes’ with a cross.
2. Importers shall lodge with their application a security in accordance with Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 guaranteeing compliance with the commitment to import during the term of validity of the import licence. The security shall be EUR 15 per tonne.
Except in cases of force majeure, the security shall be forfeited in whole or in part if the import is not carried out, or is carried out only partially, within the period of validity of the import licence.
Article 3
1. Import licences shall be issued without delay to any applicant, irrespective of their place of establishment in the Community.
The country of origin shall be entered in box 8 of the import licence and the word ‘yes’ shall be marked with a cross.
2. Import licences shall be valid for three months.
Import licences shall be valid only for imports originating in the country indicated.
Article 4
Member States shall report to the Commission, no later than 12 noon (Brussels time) on Wednesday each week, the quantities of apples for which import licences have been issued during the previous week, broken down by third country of origin.
These quantities shall be reported via the electronic system indicated by the Commission.
Article 5
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 February 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 180/2006
of 1 February 2006
setting delivery obligations for cane sugar to be imported under the ACP Protocol and the Agreement with India for the 2005/06 delivery period and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 39(6) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 of 30 June 2003 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years for the import of cane sugar under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements and amending Regulations (EC) No 1464/95 and (EC) No 779/96 (2), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 lays down detailed rules for setting delivery obligations at zero duty for products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India. |
|
(2) |
Application of Articles 3 and 7 of the ACP Protocol, Articles 3 and 7 of the Agreement with India and Article 9(3) and Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 has resulted in the Commission setting delivery obligations for each exporting country for the 2005/06 delivery period, on the basis of the information currently available. |
|
(3) |
Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 provides that paragraph 1 of that Article does not apply where the difference between the quantity of delivery obligations and the total quantity of ACP-India preferential sugar counted is 5 % or less than the delivery obligations. In the case of Côte d’Ivoire, India and Madagascar, the quantities delivered are 6,7 %, 7,6 % and 6,7 % respectively below the delivery obligations. Given that the quantities concerned are minimal and the impact on the Community sugar market and the supply of raw sugar to Community refineries for that delivery period was negligible, Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 should not be applied to India, Côte d’Ivoire or Madagascar and the quantities not delivered should be added to the delivery obligations for those countries for the 2005/06 delivery period, in accordance with Article 12(4) of that Regulation. |
|
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1159/2003 notwithstanding, paragraph 1 of that Article shall not apply as regards the quantities registered as not delivered for the 2004/05 delivery period in the case of Côte d’Ivoire, India and Madagascar.
The quantities not delivered referred to in paragraph 1 shall be added to the delivery obligations referred to in Article 2.
Article 2
The delivery obligations for imports originating in the countries that are signatories to the ACP Protocol and to the Agreement with India in respect of products falling within CN code 1701, expressed in white-sugar equivalent, in the 2005/06 delivery period for each exporting country concerned, shall be as set out in the Annex.
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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 181/2006
of 1 February 2006
implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 as regards organic fertilisers and soil improvers other than manure and amending that Regulation
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Articles 20(2), 22(2) and 32(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 prohibits the application to pasture land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers other than manure. This prohibition is in line with the current EU feed ban, and is intended to prevent possible contamination risks from pasture land where Category 2 material and Category 3 material could be present. Such risks may be due to direct grazing or use of grass as silage or hay by farmed animals. That Regulation provides that measures for implementing the prohibition, including control measures, are to be adopted after consultation of the appropriate scientific committee. |
|
(2) |
Various scientific committees have issued a number of scientific opinions that are relevant to the application to land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers. These include first, the opinion of 24 and 25 September 1998 of the Scientific Steering Committee on the safety of organic fertilisers derived from mammalian animals, second, the opinion of 24 April 2001 of the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment on the evaluation of sludge treatments for pathogen reduction, third, the opinion of 10 and 11 May 2001 of the Scientific Steering Committee on the safety of organic fertilisers derived from ruminant materials and fourth, the opinion of 3 March 2004 of the Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of the European Food Standards Authority on the safety vis-à-vis biological risk including TSEs of the application on pastureland of organic fertilisers and soil improvers. |
|
(3) |
Those scientific opinions recommend that animal tissues that are likely to contain TSE agents should not be incorporated in organic fertilisers and soil improvers for use on land to which cattle may have access. Other materials may be used in the manufacture of organic fertilisers and soil improvers under certain health conditions involving heating and safe sourcing that further reduce any potential risks. |
|
(4) |
In the light of those scientific opinions, implementing rules, including control measures, should be laid down for the application to land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers, as well as digestion residues and compost. |
|
(5) |
The implementing measures provided for in this Regulation should be without prejudice to transitional measures currently applicable pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002. |
|
(6) |
It should be possible to place on the market and export organic fertilisers and soil improvers provided the conditions set out in this Regulation are complied with. |
|
(7) |
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
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation shall be without prejudice to transitional measures adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.

Article 2
Amendment
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, point 39 is replaced by the following:
|
‘39. |
“pasture land” means land covered with grass or other herbage grazed by or used as feedingstuffs for farmed animals, excluding land to which organic fertilisers and soil improvers have been applied in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 181/2006 (*1); |
Article 3
Requirements for organic fertilisers and soil improvers
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be produced solely from Category 2 and Category 3 material.
Article 4
Pathogen control and packaging and labelling
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall comply with the requirements regarding pathogen control and packaging and labelling set out in parts I and II of the Annex.
Article 5
Transport
Organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be transported in accordance with the requirements set out in part III of the Annex.
Article 6
Use and special grazing restrictions
1. The special grazing restrictions set out in part IV of the Annex shall apply where organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied to land.
2. Processed products derived from the processing of animal by-products in a processing plant in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 shall not be applied as such directly to land where farmed animals might have access.
Article 7
Records
The person responsible for land to which organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied and to which farmed animals have access shall keep records for at least two years of:
|
(a) |
the quantities of organic fertilisers and soil improvers applied; |
|
(b) |
the date on which and the places where organic fertilisers and soil improvers were applied to land; |
|
(c) |
the dates on which livestock is allowed to graze the land or on which the land is cropped for feedingstuffs. |
Article 8
Placing on the market, export and transit
The placing on the market, export and transit of organic fertilisers and soil improvers shall be subject to compliance with the requirements set out in parts I and II of the Annex.
Article 9
Control measures
1. The competent authority shall take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with this Regulation.
2. The competent authority shall carry out controls at regular intervals on land where organic fertilisers and soil improvers are applied and to which farmed animals may have access.
3. If controls carried out by the competent authority show that this Regulation is not complied with, the competent authority shall take appropriate action.
Article 10
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 April 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 23 January 2006
amending Decision 90/424/EEC on expenditure in the veterinary field
(2006/53/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Avian influenza, previously called ‘avian plague’, is a very severe infection of birds that causes a very serious risk for animal health. The influenza virus of avian origin may, in certain conditions, also pose a risk for human health. |
|
(2) |
Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (3) provides for the possibility of a financial contribution from the Community to the Member States for the eradication of certain animal diseases. This Decision envisages the possibility of granting such contribution for the eradication of avian influenza caused by the so-called ‘highly pathogenic’ strains of virus. |
|
(3) |
During recent avian influenza epidemics, outbreaks of disease caused by low pathogenic avian influenza viruses subsequently mutated into highly pathogenic viruses causing devastating consequences and risks for public health. Once mutation has occurred, the virus is extremely difficult to control. Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza (4), establishes compulsory surveillance and control measures also in relation with the low pathogenic viruses, so that outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza may be prevented. |
|
(4) |
In the light of the adoption of Directive 2005/94/EC it is appropriate to modify Decision 90/424/EEC so that Community financial assistance may also be granted for those eradication measures carried out by the Member States to combat avian influenza virus strains of low pathogenicity that may mutate into highly pathogenic strains, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 90/424/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
|
1. |
Article 3 shall be amended as follows:
|
|
2. |
the following Article shall be inserted: ‘Article 3a 1. This Article and Article 3(3) and (4) shall apply in the event of the occurrence of avian influenza in the territory of a Member State. 2. The Member State concerned shall obtain a financial contribution from the Community for the eradication of avian influenza if the minimum control measures provided for in Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza (*1) have been fully and efficiently implemented in compliance with relevant Community legislation and, in the case of killing of animals of susceptible species which are affected or contaminated or suspected of being affected or contaminated, livestock owners have been compensated swiftly and adequately. 3. The financial contribution by the Community, divided if necessary into several tranches, shall be:
|
|
3. |
in Articles 6(1), 7(1) and 8(1) the reference ‘3a(1)’ shall be inserted after the reference ‘3(1)’. |
|
4. |
in the Annex, the following indent shall be added to Group 1:
|
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
