(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 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (1), and in particular Articles 4(3), 5(4) and 6(2) and Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (2), and in particular Article 39(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 is one of the separate regulatory acts under the type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 2007/46/EC.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 requires new heavy duty vehicles and engines to comply with new emission limits and introduces additional requirements on access to information. The technical requirements will apply from 31 December 2012 for new types of vehicles and from 31 December 2013 for all new vehicles. The specific technical provisions necessary to implement Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 should be adopted. Therefore, the present Regulation aims at setting the requirements necessary for the type-approval of Euro VI specification vehicles and engines.
(3)
Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 requires the Commission to adopt implementing legislation setting out specific technical requirements relating to the control of emissions from vehicles. Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt those requirements.
(4)
Following the adoption of the main requirements for type-approval of heavy duty motor vehicles and engines by Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, it is necessary to establish administrative provisions for that EC type-approval. Those administrative requirements should include provisions for conformity of production and in-service conformity to ensure continued good performance of production vehicles and engines.
(5)
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, it is also necessary to establish requirements to ensure that vehicle on-board diagnostic (hereinafter ‘OBD’) and vehicle repair and maintenance information is readily accessible, so as to ensure that independent operators have access to such information.
(6)
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, the measures provided for in this Regulation regarding access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, information for diagnostic tools and the compatibility of replacement parts with vehicle OBD systems, should not be restricted to emission-related components and systems but cover all aspects of a vehicle subject to type-approval within the scope of this Regulation.
(7)
In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, the Commission should adopt measures for implementing the use of portable measurement systems for verifying the actual in-use emissions and verifying and limiting the off-cycle emissions. It is therefore necessary to set out, within an appropriate timeframe, provisions on off-cycle emissions both at type-approval and for verifying and limiting the off-cycle emissions in actual use of the vehicles. For the purpose of in-service conformity a procedure using portable emissions measurement systems (hereinafter ‘PEMS’) should be introduced. The PEMS procedures introduced through this Regulation should be subject to an assessment on the basis of which the Commission should be empowered to amend the in-use provisions.
(8)
In accordance with Article 5(4)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, it is necessary to establish requirements for type-approval of replacement pollution control devices so as to ensure that they function correctly.
(9)
In accordance with Article 5(4)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, it is necessary to establish requirements for determining deterioration factors to be used for verifying the durability of engine systems. In addition and subject to the results of research and development on methods for bench ageing of engine systems the Commission should be empowered to amend the provisions for determining deterioration factors.
(10)
As provided for by Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, new limit values and a measurement procedure for the number of particles emitted should be introduced. The measurement procedure should be based on the work of the Particulate Measurement Programme (PMP) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (hereinafter ‘UN/ECE’).
(11)
In accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009, limit values for the World Harmonized Transient Driving Cycle (hereinafter ‘WHTC’) and the Worldwide Harmonised Steady state Cycle (hereinafter ‘WHSC’) as specified in Annex 4B to Regulation No 49 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) - Uniform provisions concerning the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (3) should be introduced.
(12)
The Commission should assess the need for specific measures regarding multi-setting engines, and should be empowered to amend the provisions in accordance with the results of that assessment.
(13)
Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and Directive 2007/46/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee - Motor Vehicles,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Where the approval authority which granted the original type-approval is not satisfied with the results of in-service tests or confirmatory tests in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex II, or based on in-service testing conducted by a Member State, it shall require the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-conformity in accordance with Article 13 and Section 9 of Annex II.
6. Any Member State may conduct and report its own surveillance testing, based on the in-service conformity testing procedure set out in Annex II. Information on the procurement, maintenance, and manufacturer’s participation in the activities shall be recorded. On request by an approval authority the approval authority that granted the original type-approval shall provide the necessary information about the type-approval to enable testing in accordance with the procedure set out in Annex II.
7. If a Member State demonstrates that an engine or vehicle type does not conform to the applicable requirements of this Article and Annex II, it shall notify through its own approval authority without delay the approval authority which granted the original type-approval in accordance with the requirements of Article 30(3) of Directive 2007/46/EC.
Following that notification and subject to the provision of Article 30(6) of Directive 2007/46/EC, the approval authority of the Member State which granted the original type-approval shall promptly inform the manufacturer that an engine or vehicle type fails to satisfy the requirements of these provisions.
8. Following the notification referred to in paragraph 7 and in cases where earlier in-service conformity testing showed conformity, the approval authority which granted the original type-approval may require the manufacturer to perform additional confirmatory tests after consultation with the experts of the Member State that reported the failing vehicle.
If no such test data is available, the manufacturer shall, within 60 working days after receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 7, either submit to the approval authority which granted the original type-approval a plan of remedial measures in accordance with Article 13 or perform additional in-service conformity testing with an equivalent vehicle to verify whether the engine or vehicle type fails the requirements. In the case where the manufacturer can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that further time is required to perform additional testing, an extension may be granted.
9. Experts of the Member State that reported the failing engine or vehicle type in accordance with paragraph 7 shall be invited to witness the additional in-service conformity tests referred to in paragraph 8. Additionally, the results of the tests shall be reported to that Member State and the approval authorities.
If these in-service conformity tests or confirmatory tests confirm the non-conformance of the engine or vehicle type, the approval authority shall require the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-conformity. The plan of remedial measures shall comply with the provisions of Article 13 and Section 9 of Annex II.
If those in-service conformity tests or confirmatory tests show conformity the manufacturer shall submit a report to the approval authority which granted the original type-approval. The report shall be submitted by the approval authority which granted the original type-approval to the Member State that reported the failing vehicle type and the approval authorities. It shall contain the test results according to Section 10 of Annex II.
10. The approval authority which granted the original type-approval shall keep the Member State which had established that the engine or vehicle type did not conform to the applicable requirements informed of the progress and results of the discussions with the manufacturer, the verification tests and the remedial measures.
Article 13
Remedial measures
1. On request of the approval authority and following in-service testing in accordance with Article 12 the manufacturer shall submit the plan of remedial measures to the approval authority no later than 60 working days after receipt of the notification from the approval authority. Where the manufacturer can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that further time is required to investigate the reason for the non-compliance in order to submit a plan of remedial measures, an extension may be granted.
2. The remedial measures shall apply to all engines in service belonging to the same engine families or OBD engine families and be extended also to engine families or OBD engine families which are likely to be affected with the same defects. The need to amend the type-approval documents shall be assessed by the manufacturer and the result reported to the approval authority.
3. The approval authority shall consult the manufacturer in order to secure agreement on a plan of remedial measures and on executing the plan. If the approval authority which granted the original type-approval establishes that no agreement can be reached, the procedure set out in Article 30(1) and 30(5) of Directive 2007/46/EC shall be initiated.
4. The approval authority shall within 30 working days from the date on which it has received the plan of remedial measures from the manufacturer, approve or reject the plan of remedial measures. The approval authority shall within the same time also notify the manufacturer and all Member States of its decision to approve or reject the plan of remedial measures.
5. The manufacturer shall be responsible for the execution of the approved plan of remedial measures.
6. The manufacturer shall keep a record of every engine system or vehicle recalled and repaired or modified and of the workshop which performed the repair. The approval authority shall have access to that record on request during the execution and for a period of 5 years after the completion of the execution of the plan.
7. Any repair or modification referred to in paragraph 6 shall be recorded in a certificate supplied by the manufacturer to the owner of the engine or vehicle.

(Test b’relevanza għaż-ŻEE)
IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA,
Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,
Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 2002/99/KE tas-16 ta’ Diċembru 2002 li tistabbilixxi r-regoli sanitarji għall-annimali u li jiddeterminaw il-produzzjoni, l-ipproċessar, id-distribuzzjoni u l-introduzzjoni ta’ prodotti li joriġinaw mill-annimali u li huma għall-konsum uman (1), u b'mod partikolari l-frażi introduttorja tal-Artikolu 8, l-ewwel paragrafu tal-punt 1 tal-Artikolu 8 u l-punt 4 tal-Artikolu 8 tagħha,
Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 2009/158/KE tat-30 ta’ Novembru 2009 dwar il-kondizzjonijiet tas-saħħa ta’ bhejjem li jirregolaw il-kummerċ intra-Komunitarju, u l-importazzjoni ta’ tajr u bajd għat-tfaqqis minn pajjiżi terzi (2), u b'mod partikolari l-Artikoli 23(1) u 24(2) tagħha,
Billi:
(1)
Id-Deċiżjoni tal-Kummissjoni 2007/777/KE tad-29 ta’ Novembru 2007 li tistipula l-kundizzjonijiet tas-saħħa tal-annimali u tas-saħħa pubblika kif ukoll il-mudelli taċ-ċertifikati għall-importazzjonijiet ta’ ċerti prodotti tal-laħam u tal-istonku, il-bżieżaq tal-awrina u l-imsaren ittrattati għall-konsum mill-bniedem minn pajjiżi terzi u li tirrevoka d-Deċiżjoni 2005/432/KE (3) tistabbilixxi regoli għall-importazzjonijiet lejn l-Unjoni u t-tranżitu u l-ħażna fl-Unjoni ta' kunsinni ta' prodotti tal-laħam, kif definit fil-punt 7.1 tal-Anness I tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 853/2004 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tad-29 ta' April 2004 li jistabbilixi ċerti regoli speċifiċi ta' iġjene għall-ikel li joriġina mill-annimali (4) u tal-kunsinni ta' stonkijiet, bżieżaq tal-awrina u msaren, kif definiti fil-punt 7.9 ta' dak l-Anness.
(2)
Id-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE tistabbilixxi wkoll il-listi ta’ pajjiżi terzi u ta' partijiet minnhom, minn fejn għandhom jiġu awtorizzati dawn l-importazzjonijiet u t-tranżitu u l-ħażna kif ukoll il-mudelli taċ-ċertifikati tas-saħħa pubblika u tas-saħħa tal-annimali u t-trattamenti meħtieġa għal dawk il-prodotti.
(3)
Il-Parti 2 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE tistabbilixxi lista ta' pajjiżi terzi jew ta' partijiet minnhom li minnhom huma awtorizzati l-importazzjonijiet lejn l-Unjoni ta' prodotti tal-laħam u ta’ stonkijiet, bżieżaq tal-awrina u msaren ittrattati li huma soġġetti għal trattamenti differenti, imsemmija fil-Parti 4 ta' dak l-Anness.
(4)
Fil-Parti 2 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE, l-Afrika t’Isfel hija elenkata bħala awtorizzata li timporta l-prodotti tal-laħam, l-istonkijiet, il-bżieżaq tal-awrina u l-imsaren ittrattati għall-konsum mill-bniedem meħudin mil-laħam tar-ratiti ta' trobbija, li jgħaddu minn trattament mhux speċifiku li għalih mhi speċifikata l-ebda temperatura minima (“trattament A”).
(5)
Il-Parti 3 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE tistabbilixxi lista ta' pajjiżi terzi jew ta' partijiet minnhom li minnhom huma awtorizzati l-importazzjonijiet lejn l-Unjoni ta' biltong/jerky (laħam maqtugħ strixxi u mnixxef fix-xemx) u prodotti tal-laħam pasturizzati, li huma soġġetti għal trattamenti differenti, imsemmija fil-Parti 4 ta' dak l-Anness.
(6)
Fil-Parti 3 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE, l-Afrika t’Isfel hija elenkata bħala awtorizzata għall-importazzjonijiet lejn l-Unjoni ta' biltong/jerky li huwa magħmul minn, jew fih laħam tat-tjur, tjur tal-kaċċa mrobbija, ratiti u għasafar tal-kaċċa selvaġġi li jgħaddu minn trattament speċifiku (“trattament E”).
(7)
Ir-Regolament tal-Kummissjoni (KE) Nru 798/2008 tat-8 ta’ Awwissu 2008 li jistabbilixxi lista ta’ pajjiżi terzi, territorji, żoni jew kumpartimenti li minnhom jistgħu jiġu impurtati u jsir tranżitu ta’ tjur u prodotti tat-tjur fil-Komunità u r-rekwiżiti ta’ ċertifikazzjoni veterinarja (5), jistabbilixxi rekwiżiti ta' ċertifikazzjoni veterinarja għall-importazzjonijiet u t-tranżitu mill-Unjoni ta' tjur, bajd li qegħdin ifaqqsu, flieles li għandhom ġurnata u bajd speċifikat bħala liberu mill-patoġeni, u ta' laħam, laħam ikkapuljat u laħam tat-tiġieġ isseparat b'mod mekkaniku, li jinkludi ratiti, għasafar tal-kaċċa selvaġġi, bajd u prodotti tal-bajd. Dak ir-Regolament jistipula li l-prodotti koperti minnu għandhom biss ikunu importati lejn l-Unjoni u jgħaddu minnha bi tranżitu mill-pajjiżi terzi, territorji, żoni jew kompartimenti li huma elenkati fit-tabella fil-Parti 1 tal-Anness I tiegħu.
(8)
Fil-Parti 1 tal-Anness I tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 798/2008, l-Afrika t’Isfel hija elenkata bħala awtorizzata għall-importazzjonijiet lejn l-Unjoni ta' ratiti ta' tnissil u produttivi u ta' flieles ta' ġurnata, bajd li qiegħed ifaqqas u laħam tar-ratiti.
(9)
Ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 798/2008 jistabbilixxi wkoll il-kundizzjonijiet għal pajjiż terzu, territorju żona jew kompartament li għandu jiġi kkunsidrat bħala ħieles mill-influwenza tat-tjur patoġenika għolja (HPAI) u r-rekwiżiti għaċ-ċertifikazzjoni veterinarja fir-rigward tal-prodotti ddestinati għall-importazzjoni lejn l-Unjoni.
(10)
L-Afrika t’Isfel infurmat lill-Kummissjoni dwar it-tifqigħa tal-HPAI tas-sottotip H5N2 li fid-9 ta' April 2011 ġiet kkonfermata fit-territorju tagħha.
(11)
Peress li t-tifqigħa tal-HPAI, ġiet ikkonfermata, it-territorju tal-Afrika t’Isfel ma jistax jibqa’ jitqies bħala pajjiż ħieles minn dik il-marda. B’konsegwenza ta' dan, l-awtoritajiet veterinarji tal-Afrika t’Isfel issospendew b’effett immedjat il-ħruġ ta' ċertifikati veterinarji għall-kunsinni ta' ċerti prodotti. L-annotazzjoni għall-Afrika t’Isfel fil-Parti 1 tal-Anness I tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 798/2008 għandha għalhekk tiġi emendata skont dan.
(12)
Barra minn hekk, b’konsegwenza tat-tifqigħ tal-HPAI, l-Afrika t’Isfel ma għadhiex konformi mal-kundizzjonijiet tas-saħħa tal-annimali għall-applikazzjoni tat-“trattament A” għall-prodotti li huma magħmula minn, jew fihom laħam tar-ratiti ta' trobbija jew stonkijiet, bżieżaq tal-awrina u msaren tar-ratiti ttrattati għall-konsum mill-bniedem, elenkati fil-Parti 2 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE, u għall-applikazzjoni tat-“trattament E” għall-biltong/jerky u prodotti tal-laħam pasturizzati li huma magħmula minn, jew fihom laħam tat-tjur, tjur tal-kaċċa mrobbija, ratiti u għasafar tal-kaċċa selvaġġi, elenkati fil-Parti 3 ta' dak l-Anness. Dawk it-trattamenti mhumiex biżżejjed sabiex jeliminaw ir-riskji tas-saħħa tal-annimali marbutin ma' dawk il-prodotti. L-annotazzjonijiet għal dawk il-prodotti għall-Afrika t’Isfel fil-Partijiet 2 u 3 tal-Anness II tad-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE għandhom għalhekk jiġu emendati sabiex jipprovdu għal trattament adegwat tagħhom.
(13)
Id-Deċiżjoni 2007/777/KE u r-Regolament (KE) Nru 798/2008 għandhom għalhekk jiġu emendati skont dan.
(14)
Il-miżuri stipulati f'dan ir-Regolament huma konformi mal-opinjoni tal-Kumitat Permanenti dwar il-Katina Alimentari u s-Saħħa tal-Annimali,

KOMMISSIONENS DELEGEREDE FORORDNING (EU) Nr. 272/2012
af 7. februar 2012
om udbygning af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1060/2009 med hensyn til afgifter, som Det Europæiske Værdipapirtilsynsmyndighed (ESMA) pålægger kreditvurderingsbureauer
(EØS-relevant tekst)
EUROPA-KOMMISSIONEN HAR -
under henvisning til traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde,
under henvisning til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1060/2009 af 16. september 2009 om kreditvurderingsbureauer (1), særlig artikel 19, stk. 2, og
ud fra følgende betragtninger:
(1)
I henhold til artikel 62 i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 1095/2010 af 24. november 2010 om oprettelse af en europæisk tilsynsmyndighed (Den Europæiske Værdipapir- og Markedstilsynsmyndighed) (2) består Den Europæiske Værdipapir- og Markedstilsynsmyndigheds (ESMA) indtægter også af gebyrer til ESMA i de tilfælde, der er nærmere omhandlet i EU-lovgivningen, sammen med bidrag fra de nationale offentlige myndigheder, og et tilskud fra EU.
(2)
For at sikre en effektiv anvendelse af ESMA's budget og samtidig lette den finansielle byrde for medlemsstaterne og Unionen, er det nødvendigt at sikre, at kreditvurderingsbureauerne som minimum betaler alle omkostningerne i forbindelse med tilsynet med dem. Eventuelle underskud, der kan opstå i løbet af et regnskabsår, bør inddrives fra kreditvurderingsbureauerne i det følgende år.
(3)
Kreditvurderingsbureauer, hvis omsætning overstiger en bestemt tærskel, bør afkræves en årlig tilsynsafgift af hensyn til både ESMA's og de pågældende kreditvurderingsbureauers budgetsikkerhed. De årlige tilsynsafgifter bør ikke blive en byrde for nytilkomne på kreditvurderingsmarkedet. Desuden forventes mindre kreditvurderingsbureauer at medføre betydeligt lavere tilsynsomkostninger end større bureauer. Derfor vil det være rimeligt at fritage mindre kreditvurderingsbureauer fra at betale den årlige tilsynsafgift, hvis omsætningen for kreditvurderingsbureauet eller gruppen af kreditvurderingsbureauer, som det tilhører, ikke overskrider en vis tærskel.
(4)
For at sikre en rimelig og klar fordeling af gebyrer, som samtidig afspejler den faktiske administrative byrde pr. tilsynsunderlagt enhed, bør tilsynsafgiften beregnes på grundlag af kreditvurderingsbureauernes omsætning hidrørende fra kreditvurderingsaktiviteterne og accessoriske tjenester, eftersom tilsynsudgifterne er højere for større kreditvurderingsbureauer end for små. Desuden kræver leveringen af accessoriske tjenester en yderligere tilsynsmæssig indsats, eftersom det er nødvendigt at overvåge eventuelle interessekonflikter som følge af leveringen af accessoriske tjenester. Kreditvurderingsbureauer bør ikke omgå den rimelige afgiftsfordeling som fastsat i denne forordning ved at omfordele indtægter til andre enheder i deres gruppe og således mindske deres afgiftsbidrag. ESMA bør overvåge og indberette enhver kritisk udvikling på dette område.
(5)
Kreditvurderingsbureauer i Unionen bør pålægges en registreringsafgift for at afspejle ESMA's udgifter til behandlingen af registreringsansøgningen. En ansøgnings kompleksitet og de omkostninger, der er forbundet med behandlingen af den, er større, hvis et kreditvurderingsbureau ansøger om at udstede vurderinger af strukturerede finansielle instrumenter, har planer om at validere vurderinger fra bureauer i tredjelande eller har filialer. Derfor bør registreringsafgiften beregnes under hensyntagen til disse faktorer. Behandlingsomkostningerne afhænger i vidt omfang også af størrelsen af det ansøgende kreditvurderingsbureau. Da et nyt kreditvurderingsbureaus fremtidige omsætning ikke kendes på tidspunktet for ansøgning om registrering, bør antallet af ansatte i stedet anvendes som det generelle grundlag for beregning af alle kreditvurderingsbureauer.
(6)
Der bør i denne forordning fastsættes afgifter, der skal pålægges kreditvurderingsbureauer fra tredjelande, der ansøger om godkendelse i Unionen i henhold til artikel 5, stk. 2, i forordning (EF) nr. 1060/2009, for at dække omkostningerne til godkendelse og de årlige tilsynsomkostninger. I den forbindelse omfatter ESMA's nødvendige udgifter godkendelse af sådanne kreditvurderingsbureauer fra tredjelande i henhold til artikel 5, stk. 3, i forordning (EF) nr. 1060/2009, som foretages efter samme procedure som den, der gælder for registrering af kreditvurderingsbureauer, der er etableret i Unionen, samt ESMA's nødvendige udgifter til tilsyn med godkendte kreditvurderingsbureauer.
(7)
Kreditvurderingsbureauerne bør have godtgjort en procentdel af den afgift, de i første omgang blev pålagt for deres registrering og godkendelse, hvis de under registrerings- eller godkendelsesprocessen trækker deres ansøgning tilbage, eftersom ESMA's omkostninger til behandlingen af ansøgningen i sådanne tilfælde ville være lavere.
(8)
Af hensyn til den mulige fremtidige udvikling bør de tærskler, der er bestemmende for, om kreditvurderingsbureauer kan fritages for at betale årlige tilsynsafgifter, samt registrerings- og godkendelsesbeløbene revideres og eventuelt ajourføres. Kommissionen bør i løbet af de første fire år efter denne forordnings ikrafttræden vurdere, hvorvidt disse foranstaltninger anvendes korrekt og forelægge Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet en rapport vedrørende behovet for en eventuel revision heraf.
(9)
De nationale kompetente myndigheder afholder udgifter i forbindelse med udførelsen af opgaver, som ESMA har uddelegeret til dem i henhold til artikel 30 i forordning (EF) nr. 1060/2009, og når de yder bistand til ESMA i andre tilfælde, som fastsat i nævnte forordning. De afgifter, som ESMA pålægger kreditvurderingsbureauerne, bør ligeledes dække disse omkostninger. For at undgå, at de kompetente myndigheder lider tab eller opnår overskud ved udførelse af delegerede opgaver, eller når de yder bistand til ESMA, bør ESMA refundere de faktiske omkostninger, som den nationale kompetente myndighed har afholdt.
(10)
Denne forordning bør danne grundlag for ESMA's ret til at opkræve afgifter fra kreditvurderingsbureauer. For straks at fremme effektive tilsyns- og håndhævelsesaktiviteter bør den træde i kraft på tredjedagen for dens offentliggørelse -
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:

Artikel 5
Årlig tilsynsafgift for registrerede kreditvurderingsbureauer
1. Et registreret kreditvurderingsbureau pålægges en årlig tilsynsafgift.
Uanset første afsnit fritages et registreret kreditvurderingsbureau for at betale årlig tilsynsafgift, hvis dets samlede indtægter som offentliggjort i dets seneste reviderede regnskaber er mindre end 10 mio. EUR, eller hvis det indgår i en gruppe af kreditvurderingsbureauer, og gruppen af kreditvurderingsbureauer har samlede indtægter på mindre end 10 mio. EUR.
2. Den årlige tilsynsafgift for et givet regnskabsår beregnes som følger:
a)
Som grundlag for beregningen af den årlige tilsynsafgift for et givet regnskabsår anvendes det overslag over udgifterne til tilsyn med kreditvurderingsbureauer, der fremgår af ESMA's i overensstemmelse med artikel 63 i forordning (EU) nr. 1095/2010 opstillede og godkendte budget for det pågældende år.
b)
Det relevante beløb til beregning af den årlige tilsynsafgift for et givet regnskabsår er overslaget over udgifter i henhold til litra a) fratrukket eventuelle årlige tilsynsafgifter, der skal pålægges godkendte kreditvurderingsbureauer for et givet regnskabsår i henhold til artikel 7, og tillagt eventuelle underskud fra det foregående regnskabsår.
c)
Et registreret kreditvurderingsbureau som omhandlet i stk. 1 skal i årlig tilsynsafgift betale den del af det relevante beløb, der svarer til forholdet mellem kreditvurderingsbureauets relevante omsætning og den samlede relevante omsætning for alle registrerede kreditvurderingsbureauer, der skal betale tilsynsafgifter i henhold til stk. 1.
3. Den årlige tilsynsafgift for et givet regnskabsår betales i to rater.
Første rate forfalder ved udgangen af februar i samme år og fastsættes til to tredjedele af den skønnede årlige tilsynsafgift. Hvis der endnu ikke foreligger tal for den relevante omsætning på dette tidspunkt, baserer ESMA beregningen på omsætningen, som den fremgår af de seneste tilgængelige reviderede regnskaber.
Anden rate forfalder ved udgangen af august. Anden rate er den årlige tilsynsafgift beregnet i henhold til stk. 2 minus første rate.
ESMA sender opkrævninger for raterne til kreditvurderingsbureauerne mindst 30 dage før den respektive betalingsdato.

Denna förordning gäller för fordon i kategori M1 som uppfyller följande krav:
-
De är utrustade med en manuell växellåda.
-
De har en referensvikt på högst 2 610 kg eller ett typgodkännande som har utökats till att gälla dem i enlighet med artikel 2.2 i förordning (EG) nr 715/2007.
Denna förordning gäller inte för fordon konstruerade för att uppfylla särskilda samhälleliga behov enligt definitionen i artikel 3.2 c i förordning (EG) nr 715/2007.
Artikel 2
Definitioner
I denna förordning gäller, utöver definitionerna i förordning (EG) nr 661/2009, följande definitioner:
1. fordonstyp med avseende på växlingsindikator: en grupp av fordon som inte skiljer sig åt vad gäller växlingsindikatorns funktionella egenskaper och den metod varmed växlingsindikatorn anger en växlingspunkt. Metoderna omfattar, men är inte begränsade till, följande:
2. växlingsindikatorns funktionella egenskaper: en uppsättning ingångsparametrar, såsom motorvarvtal, motoreffekt, vridmoment och deras variation över tiden, som bestämmer växlingsindikatorns rekommendation och hur växlingsindikatorns funktion är beroende av dessa parametrar.
3. fordonets driftsläge: fordonets tillstånd när växling mellan minst två växlar framåt kan ske.
4. manuellt läge: fordonets driftsläge när växling mellan alla eller några av växlarna alltid är en direkt följd av förarens handling.

Africký mor prasat je vysoce nakažlivou virovou infekcí prasat domácích a prasat divokých, která má potenciál pro velmi závažné a rychlé rozšíření bez ohledu na hranice jednotlivých států.
(2)
Od roku 2007 Rusko hlásí četná ohniska afrického moru prasat na různých místech země u prasat domácích i prasat divokých.
(3)
V lednu 2011 bylo ohnisko afrického moru prasat hlášeno v blízkosti hranice s Unií v oblasti Petrohradu. Výskyt této nákazy v blízkosti hranice Unie představuje závažné riziko pro hospodářská zvířata v Unii.
(4)
Dopravce by měl zajistit, aby se pro každé vozidlo používané pro přepravu zvířat vedl rejstřík obsahující údaje o čištění a dezinfekci uchovávané nejméně po dobu tří let v souladu se směrnicí Rady 64/432/EHS (2).
(5)
Dovoz prasat a vepřového masa z Ruska není povolen, avšak virus způsobující nákazu přetrvává i v kontaminovaném prostředí mimo hostitelské zvíře a může být do Unie zavlečen auty, která přepravovala prasata.
(6)
Proto je nutné na úrovni Unie přijmout určitá ochranná opatření zohledňující riziko rozšíření nákazy, přežívání viru v okolním prostředí a potenciální přenosové trasy. Zejména je nutné zajistit, aby auta, která přepravovala prasata a která do Unie vstupují z Ruska, byla náležitě očištěna a vydezinfikována.
(7)
Opatření stanovená tímto rozhodnutím jsou v souladu se stanoviskem Stálého výboru pro potravinový řetězec a zdraví zvířat,
PŘIJALA TOTO ROZHODNUTÍ:
Článek 1
Pro účely tohoto rozhodnutí se „vozidlem pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat“ rozumí každé vozidlo, které je používáno nebo které bylo použito pro přepravu prasat.
Článek 2
Členské státy zajistí, aby provozovatel nebo řidič vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat při příjezdu z Ruska do místa vstupu na území Unie poskytl příslušnému orgánu členského státu údaje prokazující, že vozidlo bylo po poslední vykládce prasat očištěno a vydezinfikováno.
Tyto údaje mohou být podány ve formě prohlášení podle přílohy I nebo jinou rovnocennou formou. Pokud jsou údaje poskytnuty jinou formou, musí obsahovat položky stanovené v uvedené příloze. Originál prohlášení si ponechá příslušný orgán a kopii si ponechá provozovatel/řidič vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat.
Článek 3
Příslušný orgán členského státu, který je místem vstupu do Unie, provede kontrolu za účelem zjištění, zda vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat vstupující na území Unie z Ruska byla uspokojivým způsobem očištěna a vydezinfikována.
Pokud byly očištění a dezinfekce provedeny uspokojivým způsobem, vydá příslušný orgán osvědčení podle vzoru stanoveného v příloze II. Originál osvědčení si ponechá provozovatel/řidič vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat a kopii si ponechá příslušný orgán.
Pokud očištění a dezinfekce nebyly provedeny uspokojivým způsobem, příslušný orgán může:
a)
odepřít vstup vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat na území Unie, nebo
b)
nařídit provedení náležitého očištění a vydezinfikování vozidla pro přepravu hospodářských zvířat na místě, které určí příslušný orgán a které je co nejblíže místa vstupu na území Unie v dotčeném členském státě.
Článek 4
Toto rozhodnutí je určeno členským státům.
