26.10.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 280/29
(1) Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2)requires that the European Rail Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) shall ensure that the technical specifications for interoperability (hereinafter ‘TSIs’) are adapted to technical progress and market trends and to the social requirements and propose to the Commission the amendments to the TSIs which it considers necessary.
(2) By Decision C(2007) 3371 of 13 July 2007, the Commission gave a framework mandate to the Agency to perform certain activities under Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3)and Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system(4). Under the terms of this framework mandate, the Agency was requested to perform the revision of the conventional rail TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2006/920/EC(5), and of the revised high-speed TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2008/231/EC(6), as well as to provide technical opinions on critical errors and to publish a list of detected minor errors.
(3) A European Train Control System (hereinafter ‘ETCS’) and a Global System for Mobile communications — Railways (hereinafter ‘GSM-R’) are considered as important means on the way to a harmonised trans-European railway system. It is therefore necessary to harmonise the rules for these systems as early as possible. Following this principle, ETCS and GSM-R are specified in TSIs.
(4) It is vital that the requirements laid down in TSIs are coherent and unambiguous. This means also that different TSIs may not refer to technical requirements in different stages of development All TSIs should therefore refer to identical technical requirements.
(5) In order to harmonise the relevant rules in the TSIs for the trans-European conventional and high-speed rail system, the rules regarding operational aspects should be published as a Technical Document on the website of the Agency.
(6) The TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail should contain the same reference as the revised TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for high speed.
(7) The revision of the technical document ‘Annex A of TSI OPE’ should follow the ‘Change Control Management process (CCM)’ which is applied for validations of technical ERTMS specifications.
(8) According to Article 32(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, each vehicle must receive a European Vehicle Number (EVN) when the first authorisation for placing in service is granted. According to Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC(7), the EVN is registered in the national vehicle register which is kept and updated by the national body designated by the Member State concerned.
(9) The requirements on Vehicle Identification stipulated in Annex P of the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management (for high speed and conventional rail) need to be revised, taking also into account the development of the legal frame given by Directive 2008/57/EC and Decision 2007/756/EC. As a number of technical codes are of an evolving nature due to technical progress, the Agency should be given the task of publishing and updating such lists of technical codes.
(10) The requirements on braking performance are an open point in the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail. The operational aspects of braking performance should be harmonised.
(11) Requirements on professional competence, physical and psychological fitness of train drivers are set out in Directive 2007/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(8). In order to avoid overlapping and duplication, the TSIs on Traffic Operation and Management should not include such requirements.
(12) Decisions 2006/920/EC and 2008/231/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
(a) the following Articles 1a and 1b are inserted:‘Article 1aManagement of technical codes1.   The European Railway Agency (ERA) shall publish on its website the lists of technical codes referred in Annexes P.9, P.10, P.11, P.12 and P.13.2.   The ERA shall keep the lists of codes referred to in paragraph 1 up to date and inform the Commission of their evolution. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the evolution of these technical codes through the Committee established under Article 29 of Directive 2008/57/EC.Article 1bUntil 31 December 2013, if a vehicle is sold or rented for a continuous period exceeding 6 months and if all technical characteristics under which the vehicle has been authorised to be placed in service remain unchanged, its European Vehicle Number (EVN) may be changed through a new registration of the vehicle and withdrawal of the first registration.If this new registration concerns a Member State which is different from that of the first registration, the registering entity competent for the new registration may require a copy of the documentation related to the former registration.Such change of EVN is without prejudice to the application of Articles 21 to 26 of Directive 2008/57/EC as far as the authorisation procedures are concerned.The administrative costs incurred to change the EVN shall be covered by the applicant requesting the change of EVN.’;
(b) the Annexes are amended as set out in Annex I.
(a) the following Articles 1a and 1b are inserted:‘Article 1aManagement of technical codes1.   The European Railway Agency (ERA) shall publish on its website the lists of technical codes referred in Annexes P.9, P.10, P.11, P.12 and P.13.2.   The ERA shall keep the lists of codes referred to in paragraph 1 up to date and inform the Commission of their evolution.

It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.2.European Vehicle number and linked abbreviationsEach railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:Rolling stock groupInteroperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]Technical characteristics[4 figures]Serial number[3 figures]Check digit[1 figure]Wagons00 to 0910 to 1920 to 2930 to 3940 to 4980 to 89[details in Annex P.6]01 to 99[details in Annex P.4]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.9]000 to 9990 to 9[details in Annex P.3]Hauled passenger vehicles50 to 5960 to 6970 to 79[details in Annex P.7]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.10]000 to 999Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation90 to 99[details in Annex P.8]0000000 to 8999999[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]Special vehicles9000 to 9999[details in Annex P.11]000 to 999In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles(1).Alphabetical markings complete the number:(a)markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);(b)abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);(c)Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);(d)abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).3.Allocation of numberThe European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.ANNEX P.1VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING1.Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters(2 4 1 5). A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.2.Format of the Vehicle Keeper MarkingThe VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.Letters may contain diacritical signs(3 2 6). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.3.Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper MarkingsA vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:—the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,—a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:—that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),—that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,—that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.4.Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocationThe register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.ANNEX P.2INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK1.General arrangements for external markingsThe capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.2.WagonsThe marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:23TEN80D-RFC7369553-4Zcs31TEN80D-DB0691235-2Tanoos33TEN84NL-ACTS4796100-8SlpssFor wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKsWhen one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKs-xy3.Coaches and hauled passenger stockThe number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:F-SNCF61 8720 – 72 021- 7B10tuThe marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.4.Locomotives, power cars and special vehiclesThe European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:92 10 1108 062-6The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.ANNEX P.3RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)The check-digit is determined in the following manner:—the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value,—the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2,—the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established,—the units digit of this sum is retained,—the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.Examples1 —Let the basic number be33844796100Multiplication factor212121212126316487186200Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52The units digit of this sum is 2.The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 – 8.2 —Let the basic number be31513320198Multiplication factor212121212126110163402916Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40The units digit of this sum is 0.The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 – 0.ANNEX P.4CODING OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE REGISTERED (DIGITS 3-4 AND ABBREVIATION)The Information relating to third countries is given for information purposes only.CountriesAlphabetical country code(2 4 1 5)Numerical country codeAlbaniaAL41AlgeriaDZ92ArmeniaAM58AustriaA81AzerbaijanAZ57BelarusBY21BelgiumB88Bosnia-HerzegovinaBIH49BulgariaBG52ChinaRC33CroatiaHR78CubaCU(2 4 1 5)40CyprusCYCzech RepublicCZ54DenmarkDK86EgyptET90EstoniaEST26FinlandFIN10FranceF87GeorgiaGE28GermanyD80GreeceGR73HungaryH55IranIR96IraqIRQ(2 4 1 5)99IrelandIRL60IsraelIL95ItalyI83JapanJ42KazakhstanKZ27KyrgyzstanKS59LatviaLV25LebanonRL98LiechtensteinFLLithuaniaLT24LuxembourgL82MacedoniaMK65MaltaMMoldovaMD(2 4 1 5)23MonacoMCMongoliaMGL31MontenegroME62MoroccoMA93NetherlandsNL84North KoreaPRK(2 4 1 5)30NorwayN76PolandPL51PortugalP94RomaniaRO53RussiaRUS20SerbiaSRB72SlovakiaSK56SloveniaSLO79South KoreaROK61SpainE71SwedenSE74SwitzerlandCH85SyriaSYR97TajikistanTJ66TunisiaTN91TurkeyTR75TurkmenistanTM67UkraineUA22United KingdomGB70UzbekistanUZ29VietnamVN(2 4 1 5)32ANNEX P.5ALPHABETICAL MARKING OF THE INTEROPERABILITY CAPABILITY“TEN”: Vehicle which complies with the following conditions:—it complies with all relevant TSIs which are in force at the moment of placing in service and has been authorised to be placed in service according to Article 22(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC;—it is provided with an authorisation valid in all Member States in accordance with Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, or, as an alternative, it has received individual authorisations by all Member States.“PPV/PPW”: Vehicle which complies with PPV/PPW or PGW agreement (inside OSJD States)(original: PPV/PPW: ППВ (Правила пользования вагонами в международном сообщении; PGW: Правила Пользования Грузовыми Вагонами)Notes:(a)Vehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.(b)Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised.

(7) Annex P14 is repealed;
(8) Annex T is replaced by the following:‘ANNEX TBRAKING PERFORMANCEIM’s roleThe IM shall inform the RU about the braking performance required for each route and has to provide information about the route characteristics. The IM has to ensure that the impact of the route characteristics and track-side related margins are included in the required braking performance.The required braking performance shall in principle be expressed in brake weight percentage unless the IM and RU have agreed on another unit to express the braking performance (e.g. braked tonnes, brake forces, deceleration values, deceleration profiles).For train sets and fixed train compositions the IM shall deliver the braking performance requirements in deceleration values if so requested by the RU.RU’s roleThe RU shall ensure that each train satisfies or exceeds the braking performance required by the IM. Therefore the RU shall calculate the braking performance of a train taking into account the train composition.The RU must take into account the vehicle or train set braking performance determined when placed in service. Rolling Stock-related margins like reliability and availability of the brakes have to be considered. The RU must also take into account the information about route characteristics which affect the train behaviour when tuning the braking performance for stopping and securing a train.The braking performance resulting from the checking of the actual train (like train composition, brake availability, brake settings) will be used as an input value for any operational rule to be subsequently applied to the train.Braking performance not achievedThe IM has to set up rules to be used if a train does not reach the required braking performance and has to make these rules available to the RUs.If a train does not reach the braking performance required for the routes the train shall run, the RU has to respect the resulting constraints like speed restriction.’

It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.2.European Vehicle number and linked abbreviationsEach railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:Rolling stock groupInteroperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]Technical characteristics[4 figures]Serial number[3 figures]Check digit[1 figure]Wagons00 to 0910 to 1920 to 2930 to 3940 to 4980 to 89[details in Annex P.6]01 to 99[details in Annex P.4]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.9]000 to 9990 to 9[details in Annex P.3]Hauled passenger vehicles50 to 5960 to 6970 to 79[details in Annex P.7]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.10]000 to 999Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation90 to 99[details in Annex P.8]0000000 to 8999999[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]Special vehicles9000 to 9999[details in Annex P.11]000 to 999In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles(1).Alphabetical markings complete the number:(a)markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);(b)abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);(c)Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);(d)abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).3.Allocation of numberThe European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.ANNEX P.1VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING1.Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters(2 4 1 5). A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.2.Format of the Vehicle Keeper MarkingThe VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.Letters may contain diacritical signs(3 2 6). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.3.Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper MarkingsA vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:—the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,—a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:—that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),—that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,—that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.4.Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocationThe register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.ANNEX P.2INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK1.General arrangements for external markingsThe capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.2.WagonsThe marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:23TEN80D-RFC7369553-4Zcs31TEN80D-DB0691235-2Tanoos33TEN84NL-ACTS4796100-8SlpssFor wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKsWhen one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKs-xy3.Coaches and hauled passenger stockThe number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:F-SNCF61 8720 – 72 021- 7B10tuThe marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.4.Locomotives, power cars and special vehiclesThe European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:92 10 1108 062-6The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.ANNEX P.3RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)The check-digit is determined in the following manner:—the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value;—the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2;—the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established;—the units digit of this sum is retained;—the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.Examples1 —Let the basic number be33844796100Multiplication factor212121212126316487186200Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52The units digit of this sum is 2.The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 – 8.2 —Let the basic number be31513320198Multiplication factor212121212126110163402916Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40The units digit of this sum is 0.The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 – 0.ANNEX P.4CODING OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE REGISTERED (DIGITS 3-4 AND ABBREVIATION)The Information relating to third countries is given for information purposes only.CountriesAlphabetical country code(2 4 1 5)Numerical country codeAlbaniaAL41AlgeriaDZ92ArmeniaAM58AustriaA81AzerbaijanAZ57BelarusBY21BelgiumB88Bosnia-HerzegovinaBIH49BulgariaBG52ChinaRC33CroatiaHR78CubaCU(2 4 1 5)40CyprusCYCzech RepublicCZ54DenmarkDK86EgyptET90EstoniaEST26FinlandFIN10FranceF87GeorgiaGE28GermanyD80GreeceGR73HungaryH55IranIR96IraqIRQ(2 4 1 5)99IrelandIRL60IsraelIL95ItalyI83JapanJ42KazakhstanKZ27KyrgyzstanKS59LatviaLV25LebanonRL98LiechtensteinFLLithuaniaLT24LuxembourgL82MacedoniaMK65MaltaMMoldovaMD(2 4 1 5)23MonacoMCMongoliaMGL31MontenegroME62MoroccoMA93NetherlandsNL84North KoreaPRK(2 4 1 5)30NorwayN76PolandPL51PortugalP94RomaniaRO53RussiaRUS20SerbiaSRB72SlovakiaSK56SloveniaSLO79South KoreaROK61SpainE71SwedenSE74SwitzerlandCH85SyriaSYR97TajikistanTJ66TunisiaTN91TurkeyTR75TurkmenistanTM67UkraineUA22United KingdomGB70UzbekistanUZ29VietnamVN(2 4 1 5)32ANNEX P.5ALPHABETICAL MARKING OF THE INTEROPERABILITY CAPABILITY“TEN”: Vehicle which complies with the following conditions:—it complies with all relevant TSIs which are in force at the moment of placing in service and has been authorised to be placed in service according to Article 22(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,—it is provided with an authorisation valid in all Member States in accordance with Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, or, as an alternative, it has received individual authorisations by all Member States.“PPV/PPW”: Vehicle which complies with PPV/PPW or PGW agreement (inside OSJD States)(original: PPV/PPW:ППВ (Правила пользования вагонами в международном сообщении; PGW: Правила Пользования Грузовыми Вагонами)Notes:(a)Vehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.(b)Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised.

— the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2;
— the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established;
— the units digit of this sum is retained;

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community(1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendations of the European Railway Agency of 17 July 2009 on consistent ERTMS rules in Control-Command and Signalling and Traffic Operation and Management TSIs (ERA/REC/2009-02/INT), on revised Annex P of Traffic Operation and Management TSIs for high-speed and conventional rail (ERA/REC/2009-03/INT), on revised Annex T of Traffic Operation and Management TSI for conventional rail (ERA/REC/2009-04/INT) and on an amendment aiming to achieve consistency between Directive 2007/59/EC and Traffic Operation and Management TSIs in respect to train driver competence provisions (ERA/REC/2009-05/INT),
(1) Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2)requires that the European Rail Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) shall ensure that the technical specifications for interoperability (hereinafter ‘TSIs’) are adapted to technical progress and market trends and to the social requirements and propose to the Commission the amendments to the TSIs which it considers necessary.
(2) By Decision C(2007) 3371 of 13 July 2007, the Commission gave a framework mandate to the Agency to perform certain activities under Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3)and Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system(4). Under the terms of this framework mandate, the Agency was requested to perform the revision of the conventional rail TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2006/920/EC(5), and of the revised high-speed TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2008/231/EC(6), as well as to provide technical opinions on critical errors and to publish a list of detected minor errors.
(3) A European Train Control System (hereinafter ‘ETCS’) and a Global System for Mobile communications — Railways (hereinafter ‘GSM-R’) are considered as important means on the way to a harmonised trans-European railway system. It is therefore necessary to harmonise the rules for these systems as early as possible. Following this principle, ETCS and GSM-R are specified in TSIs.
(4) It is vital that the requirements laid down in TSIs are coherent and unambiguous. This means also that different TSIs may not refer to technical requirements in different stages of development All TSIs should therefore refer to identical technical requirements.
(5) In order to harmonise the relevant rules in the TSIs for the trans-European conventional and high-speed rail system, the rules regarding operational aspects should be published as a Technical Document on the website of the Agency.
(6) The TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail should contain the same reference as the revised TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for high speed.
(7) The revision of the technical document ‘Annex A of TSI OPE’ should follow the ‘Change Control Management process (CCM)’ which is applied for validations of technical ERTMS specifications.
(8) According to Article 32(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, each vehicle must receive a European Vehicle Number (EVN) when the first authorisation for placing in service is granted. According to Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC(7), the EVN is registered in the national vehicle register which is kept and updated by the national body designated by the Member State concerned.
(9) The requirements on Vehicle Identification stipulated in Annex P of the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management (for high speed and conventional rail) need to be revised, taking also into account the development of the legal frame given by Directive 2008/57/EC and Decision 2007/756/EC. As a number of technical codes are of an evolving nature due to technical progress, the Agency should be given the task of publishing and updating such lists of technical codes.
(10) The requirements on braking performance are an open point in the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail. The operational aspects of braking performance should be harmonised.
(11) Requirements on professional competence, physical and psychological fitness of train drivers are set out in Directive 2007/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(8). In order to avoid overlapping and duplication, the TSIs on Traffic Operation and Management should not include such requirements.
(12) Decisions 2006/920/EC and 2008/231/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

(9) The requirements on Vehicle Identification stipulated in Annex P of the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management (for high speed and conventional rail) need to be revised, taking also into account the development of the legal frame given by Directive 2008/57/EC and Decision 2007/756/EC. As a number of technical codes are of an evolving nature due to technical progress, the Agency should be given the task of publishing and updating such lists of technical codes.
(10) The requirements on braking performance are an open point in the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail. The operational aspects of braking performance should be harmonised.
(11) Requirements on professional competence, physical and psychological fitness of train drivers are set out in Directive 2007/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(8). In order to avoid overlapping and duplication, the TSIs on Traffic Operation and Management should not include such requirements.
(12) Decisions 2006/920/EC and 2008/231/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,

It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.2.European Vehicle number and linked abbreviationsEach railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:Rolling stock groupInteroperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]Technical characteristics[4 figures]Serial number[3 figures]Check digit[1 figure]Wagons00 to 0910 to 1920 to 2930 to 3940 to 4980 to 89[details in Annex P.6]01 to 99[details in Annex P.4]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.9]000 to 9990 to 9[details in Annex P.3]Hauled passenger vehicles50 to 5960 to 6970 to 79[details in Annex P.7]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.10]000 to 999Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation90 to 99[details in Annex P.8]0000000 to 8999999[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]Special vehicles9000 to 9999[details in Annex P.11]000 to 999In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles(1).Alphabetical markings complete the number:(a)markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);(b)abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);(c)Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);(d)abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).3.Allocation of numberThe European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.ANNEX P.1VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING1.Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters(2 4 1 5). A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.2.Format of the Vehicle Keeper MarkingThe VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.Letters may contain diacritical signs(3 2 6). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.3.Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper MarkingsA vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:—the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,—a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:—that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),—that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,—that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.4.Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocationThe register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.ANNEX P.2INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK1.General arrangements for external markingsThe capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.2.WagonsThe marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:23TEN80D-RFC7369553-4Zcs31TEN80D-DB0691235-2Tanoos33TEN84NL-ACTS4796100-8SlpssFor wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKsWhen one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKs-xy3.Coaches and hauled passenger stockThe number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:F-SNCF61 8720 – 72 021- 7B10tuThe marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.4.Locomotives, power cars and special vehiclesThe European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:92 10 1108 062-6The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.ANNEX P.3RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)The check-digit is determined in the following manner:—the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value,—the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2,—the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established,—the units digit of this sum is retained,—the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.Examples1 —Let the basic number be33844796100Multiplication factor212121212126316487186200Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52The units digit of this sum is 2.The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 – 8.2 —Let the basic number be31513320198Multiplication factor212121212126110163402916Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40The units digit of this sum is 0.The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 – 0.ANNEX P.4CODING OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE REGISTERED (DIGITS 3-4 AND ABBREVIATION)The Information relating to third countries is given for information purposes only.CountriesAlphabetical country code(2 4 1 5)Numerical country codeAlbaniaAL41AlgeriaDZ92ArmeniaAM58AustriaA81AzerbaijanAZ57BelarusBY21BelgiumB88Bosnia-HerzegovinaBIH49BulgariaBG52ChinaRC33CroatiaHR78CubaCU(2 4 1 5)40CyprusCYCzech RepublicCZ54DenmarkDK86EgyptET90EstoniaEST26FinlandFIN10FranceF87GeorgiaGE28GermanyD80GreeceGR73HungaryH55IranIR96IraqIRQ(2 4 1 5)99IrelandIRL60IsraelIL95ItalyI83JapanJ42KazakhstanKZ27KyrgyzstanKS59LatviaLV25LebanonRL98LiechtensteinFLLithuaniaLT24LuxembourgL82MacedoniaMK65MaltaMMoldovaMD(2 4 1 5)23MonacoMCMongoliaMGL31MontenegroME62MoroccoMA93NetherlandsNL84North KoreaPRK(2 4 1 5)30NorwayN76PolandPL51PortugalP94RomaniaRO53RussiaRUS20SerbiaSRB72SlovakiaSK56SloveniaSLO79South KoreaROK61SpainE71SwedenSE74SwitzerlandCH85SyriaSYR97TajikistanTJ66TunisiaTN91TurkeyTR75TurkmenistanTM67UkraineUA22United KingdomGB70UzbekistanUZ29VietnamVN(2 4 1 5)32ANNEX P.5ALPHABETICAL MARKING OF THE INTEROPERABILITY CAPABILITY“TEN”: Vehicle which complies with the following conditions:—it complies with all relevant TSIs which are in force at the moment of placing in service and has been authorised to be placed in service according to Article 22(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC;—it is provided with an authorisation valid in all Member States in accordance with Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, or, as an alternative, it has received individual authorisations by all Member States.“PPV/PPW”: Vehicle which complies with PPV/PPW or PGW agreement (inside OSJD States)(original: PPV/PPW: ППВ (Правила пользования вагонами в международном сообщении; PGW: Правила Пользования Грузовыми Вагонами)Notes:(a)Vehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.(b)Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised.

The IM has to ensure that the impact of the route characteristics and track-side related margins are included in the required braking performance.The required braking performance shall in principle be expressed in brake weight percentage unless the IM and RU have agreed on another unit to express the braking performance (e.g. braked tonnes, brake forces, deceleration values, deceleration profiles).For train sets and fixed train compositions the IM shall deliver the braking performance requirements in deceleration values if so requested by the RU.RU’s roleThe RU shall ensure that each train satisfies or exceeds the braking performance required by the IM. Therefore the RU shall calculate the braking performance of a train taking into account the train composition.The RU must take into account the vehicle or train set braking performance determined when placed in service. Rolling Stock-related margins like reliability and availability of the brakes have to be considered. The RU must also take into account the information about route characteristics which affect the train behaviour when tuning the braking performance for stopping and securing a train.The braking performance resulting from the checking of the actual train (like train composition, brake availability, brake settings) will be used as an input value for any operational rule to be subsequently applied to the train.Braking performance not achievedThe IM has to set up rules to be used if a train does not reach the required braking performance and has to make these rules available to the RUs.If a train does not reach the braking performance required for the routes the train shall run, the RU has to respect the resulting constraints like speed restriction.’

It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.2.European Vehicle number and linked abbreviationsEach railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:Rolling stock groupInteroperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]Technical characteristics[4 figures]Serial number[3 figures]Check digit[1 figure]Wagons00 to 0910 to 1920 to 2930 to 3940 to 4980 to 89[details in Annex P.6]01 to 99[details in Annex P.4]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.9]000 to 9990 to 9[details in Annex P.3]Hauled passenger vehicles50 to 5960 to 6970 to 79[details in Annex P.7]0000 to 9999[details in Annex P.10]000 to 999Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation90 to 99[details in Annex P.8]0000000 to 8999999[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]Special vehicles9000 to 9999[details in Annex P.11]000 to 999In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles(1).Alphabetical markings complete the number:(a)markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);(b)abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);(c)Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);(d)abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).3.Allocation of numberThe European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.ANNEX P.1VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING1.Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters(2 4 1 5). A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.2.Format of the Vehicle Keeper MarkingThe VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.Letters may contain diacritical signs(3 2 6). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.3.Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper MarkingsA vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:—the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,—a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:—that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),—that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,—that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.4.Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocationThe register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.ANNEX P.2INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK1.General arrangements for external markingsThe capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.2.WagonsThe marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:23TEN80D-RFC7369553-4Zcs31TEN80D-DB0691235-2Tanoos33TEN84NL-ACTS4796100-8SlpssFor wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKsWhen one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:01 87 3320 644-7TENF-SNCFKs-xy3.Coaches and hauled passenger stockThe number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:F-SNCF61 8720 – 72 021- 7B10tuThe marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.4.Locomotives, power cars and special vehiclesThe European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:92 10 1108 062-6The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.ANNEX P.3RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)The check-digit is determined in the following manner:—the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value;—the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2;—the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established;—the units digit of this sum is retained;—the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.Examples1 —Let the basic number be33844796100Multiplication factor212121212126316487186200Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52The units digit of this sum is 2.The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 – 8.2 —Let the basic number be31513320198Multiplication factor212121212126110163402916Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40The units digit of this sum is 0.The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 – 0.ANNEX P.4CODING OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE REGISTERED (DIGITS 3-4 AND ABBREVIATION)The Information relating to third countries is given for information purposes only.CountriesAlphabetical country code(2 4 1 5)Numerical country codeAlbaniaAL41AlgeriaDZ92ArmeniaAM58AustriaA81AzerbaijanAZ57BelarusBY21BelgiumB88Bosnia-HerzegovinaBIH49BulgariaBG52ChinaRC33CroatiaHR78CubaCU(2 4 1 5)40CyprusCYCzech RepublicCZ54DenmarkDK86EgyptET90EstoniaEST26FinlandFIN10FranceF87GeorgiaGE28GermanyD80GreeceGR73HungaryH55IranIR96IraqIRQ(2 4 1 5)99IrelandIRL60IsraelIL95ItalyI83JapanJ42KazakhstanKZ27KyrgyzstanKS59LatviaLV25LebanonRL98LiechtensteinFLLithuaniaLT24LuxembourgL82MacedoniaMK65MaltaMMoldovaMD(2 4 1 5)23MonacoMCMongoliaMGL31MontenegroME62MoroccoMA93NetherlandsNL84North KoreaPRK(2 4 1 5)30NorwayN76PolandPL51PortugalP94RomaniaRO53RussiaRUS20SerbiaSRB72SlovakiaSK56SloveniaSLO79South KoreaROK61SpainE71SwedenSE74SwitzerlandCH85SyriaSYR97TajikistanTJ66TunisiaTN91TurkeyTR75TurkmenistanTM67UkraineUA22United KingdomGB70UzbekistanUZ29VietnamVN(2 4 1 5)32ANNEX P.5ALPHABETICAL MARKING OF THE INTEROPERABILITY CAPABILITY“TEN”: Vehicle which complies with the following conditions:—it complies with all relevant TSIs which are in force at the moment of placing in service and has been authorised to be placed in service according to Article 22(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,—it is provided with an authorisation valid in all Member States in accordance with Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, or, as an alternative, it has received individual authorisations by all Member States.“PPV/PPW”: Vehicle which complies with PPV/PPW or PGW agreement (inside OSJD States)(original: PPV/PPW:ППВ (Правила пользования вагонами в международном сообщении; PGW: Правила Пользования Грузовыми Вагонами)Notes:(a)Vehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.(b)Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised.

25.9.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 251/28
(1) Directive 2002/95/EC prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) put on the market after 1 July 2006. Exemptions from that prohibition are listed in the Annex to that Directive. Those exemptions need to be reviewed in order to adapt them to scientific and technical progress.
(2) As a result of the review of the exemptions, certain applications containing lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium should continue to be exempted from the prohibition since the elimination of these hazardous substances in those specific applications is still scientifically or technically impracticable. It is therefore appropriate to maintain those exemptions.
(3) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing lead, mercury, or cadmium the elimination or substitution of the use of those substances has become scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to delete those exemptions.
(4) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing lead, mercury or cadmium, the elimination or substitution of the use of those substances will become scientifically or technically possible in the foreseeable future. It is therefore appropriate to set expiry dates for those exemptions.
(5) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing mercury, partial elimination or substitution of the use of that substance is scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the amount of mercury that may be used in those applications.
(6) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing mercury, in the foreseeable future only the partial and gradual elimination or substitution of the use of that substance is scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to gradually reduce the amount of mercury that may be used in those applications.
(7) In certain cases it is technically impossible to repair EEE with spare parts other than original ones. Therefore, in those cases only, the use of spare parts containing lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which benefited from an exemption, should be allowed in the repair of EEE, which was placed on the market before that exemption expired or was terminated.
(8) Commission Regulation (EC) No 244/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for non-directional household lamps(2)and Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3)provide for indicative benchmarks as concerns the use of mercury in lamps. Although the mercury content of lamps was identified as a significant environmental parameter in Regulations (EC) No 244/2009 and (EC) No 245/2009, it was considered more appropriate to regulate it in Directive 2002/95/EC, which covers also lamp types exempted from those regulations.
(9) As a result of the analysis undertaken for measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 244/2009, for certain applications containing mercury, partial elimination or substitution of the use of this substance is scientifically or technically possible without negative environmental, health and/or consumer safety impacts that outweigh the benefits of substitution. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the mercury content for those applications in line with Regulation (EC) No 244/2009.
(10) It is necessary to make substantial changes to the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC. Therefore, for reasons of clarity, the whole Annex should be replaced.
(11) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.
(12) Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4),

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment(1), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,
(1) Directive 2002/95/EC prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) put on the market after 1 July 2006. Exemptions from that prohibition are listed in the Annex to that Directive. Those exemptions need to be reviewed in order to adapt them to scientific and technical progress.
(2) As a result of the review of the exemptions, certain applications containing lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium should continue to be exempted from the prohibition since the elimination of these hazardous substances in those specific applications is still scientifically or technically impracticable. It is therefore appropriate to maintain those exemptions.
(3) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing lead, mercury, or cadmium the elimination or substitution of the use of those substances has become scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to delete those exemptions.
(4) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing lead, mercury or cadmium, the elimination or substitution of the use of those substances will become scientifically or technically possible in the foreseeable future. It is therefore appropriate to set expiry dates for those exemptions.
(5) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing mercury, partial elimination or substitution of the use of that substance is scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the amount of mercury that may be used in those applications.
(6) As a result of the review of the exemptions, for certain applications containing mercury, in the foreseeable future only the partial and gradual elimination or substitution of the use of that substance is scientifically or technically possible. It is therefore appropriate to gradually reduce the amount of mercury that may be used in those applications.
(7) In certain cases it is technically impossible to repair EEE with spare parts other than original ones. Therefore, in those cases only, the use of spare parts containing lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which benefited from an exemption, should be allowed in the repair of EEE, which was placed on the market before that exemption expired or was terminated.
(8) Commission Regulation (EC) No 244/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for non-directional household lamps(2)and Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3)provide for indicative benchmarks as concerns the use of mercury in lamps. Although the mercury content of lamps was identified as a significant environmental parameter in Regulations (EC) No 244/2009 and (EC) No 245/2009, it was considered more appropriate to regulate it in Directive 2002/95/EC, which covers also lamp types exempted from those regulations.
(9) As a result of the analysis undertaken for measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 244/2009, for certain applications containing mercury, partial elimination or substitution of the use of this substance is scientifically or technically possible without negative environmental, health and/or consumer safety impacts that outweigh the benefits of substitution. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the mercury content for those applications in line with Regulation (EC) No 244/2009.
(10) It is necessary to make substantial changes to the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC. Therefore, for reasons of clarity, the whole Annex should be replaced.
(11) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties.
(12) Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4),

31.8.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 228/52
(1) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing imports into the Union of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine species (‘the commodities’). It provides only commodities that come from a third country or part of a third country on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive, and accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, may be imported into the Union. The health certificate must attest that the commodities come from approved collection and storage centres or collection and production teams offering guarantees at least equivalent to those established in Annex D(I) to that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC of 6 January 2004 establishing the list of third countries and parts of territory thereof from which Member States authorise imports of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species(2)establishes a list of third countries, or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of the commodities. In the interest of coherency and consistency of Union legislation, that list should be taken into account in the present Decision.
(3) Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 2008/73/EC(3), introduced a simplified procedure for the listing of semen collection and storage centres and embryo collection and production teams in third countries, approved for imports of the commodities into the Union.
(4) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2010(4), sets out certain new requirements for the commodities which are to apply from 1 September 2010. It introduces rules concerning semen storage centres and detailed conditions for their approval and supervision. It also sets out detailed conditions for the approval and supervision of embryo collection and production teams, for the collection and processing ofin vivoderived embryos and the production and processing ofin vitrofertilised embryos and micromanipulated embryos. It also amended the conditions to be applied to the donor animals of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species in addition to those laid down in Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae(5).
(5) Accordingly, it is necessary to establish new model health certificates for imports into the Union of the commodities taking into account the amendments made to Directive 92/65/EEC by Directive 2008/73/EC and Regulation (EU) No 176/2010.
(6) In addition, provision should be made for imports into the Union of existing stocks of commodities that comply with the provisions of Directive 92/65/EEC established prior to the entry into force of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010. Accordingly, it is necessary to set out separate model health certificates for imports of consignments of the commodities collected or produced, processed and stored in accordance with Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC prior to 1 September 2010.
(7) The long lasting stocking capabilities for such commodities make it impossible at present to fix a date for the exhaustion of the existing stocks. Therefore, it is not possible to fix a date for the termination of the use of those model health certificates for the existing stocks.
(8) In order to ensure full traceability of the commodities, model health certificates should be set out in this Decision for imports into the Union of semen of animals of the equine species collected in approved semen collection centres and dispatched from an approved semen storage centre, whether or not the latter constitutes part of a semen collection centre approved under a different approval number.
(9) In the interests of consistency and simplification of Union legislation, the model health certificates for the importation of the commodities should take account of Commission Decision 2007/240/EC(6), which provides that the various veterinary, public and animal health certificates required for the imports into the Union of live animals, semen, embryo, ova and products of animal origin are to be based on the standard models for veterinary certificates set out in Annex I thereto.
(10) In addition, it is appropriate that consignments of the commodities imported into the Union from Switzerland are accompanied by the health certificates drawn up in accordance with the models used for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine species and set out in Commission Decision 2010/470/EU of 26 August 2010 laying down model health certificates for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and in ova and in embryos of animals of the porcine species(7), with the adaptations set out in points 8 and 9 of Chapter IX(B) of Appendix 2 of Annex 11 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in Agricultural Products, as approved by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council, and of the Commission as regards the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of 4 April 2002 on the conclusion of seven Agreements with the Swiss Confederation(8).
(11) In the application of this Decision, account should be taken of the specific certification requirements and model health attestations which may be laid down in accordance with the Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Canada on sanitary measures to protect public and animal health in respect of trade in live animals and animal products(9), as approved by Council Decision 1999/201/EC(10).
(12) In the application of this Decision, account should also be taken of the specific certification requirements and model health attestations which may be laid down in accordance with the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products(11), as approved by Council Decision 97/132/EC(12).
(13) In the interest of clarity of Union legislation, it is necessary to repeal the Union acts currently setting out certification requirements for imports into the Union of the commodities. Accordingly, Commission Decision 96/539/EC of 4 September 1996 on animal health requirements and veterinary certification for imports into the Community of semen of the equine species(13)and Commission Decision 96/540/EC of 4 September 1996 on animal health requirements and veterinary certification for imports into the Community of ova and embryos of the equine species(14)should be repealed.
(14) In addition, Commission Decision 2004/616/EC of 26 July 2004 establishing the list of approved semen collection centres for imports of equine semen from third countries(15)is now obsolete and should be repealed.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(1), and in particular Article 17(2)(b), Article 17(3), the first indent of Article 18(1), and the introductory phrase and point (b) of Article 19 thereof,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(1), and in particular Article 17(2)(b), Article 17(3), the first indent of Article 18(1), and the introductory phrase and point (b) of Article 19 thereof,
(1) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing imports into the Union of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine species (‘the commodities’). It provides only commodities that come from a third country or part of a third country on a list of third countries drawn up in accordance with that Directive, and accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a model also drawn up in accordance with that Directive, may be imported into the Union. The health certificate must attest that the commodities come from approved collection and storage centres or collection and production teams offering guarantees at least equivalent to those established in Annex D(I) to that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC of 6 January 2004 establishing the list of third countries and parts of territory thereof from which Member States authorise imports of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species(2)establishes a list of third countries, or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of the commodities. In the interest of coherency and consistency of Union legislation, that list should be taken into account in the present Decision.
(3) Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 2008/73/EC(3), introduced a simplified procedure for the listing of semen collection and storage centres and embryo collection and production teams in third countries, approved for imports of the commodities into the Union.
(4) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2010(4), sets out certain new requirements for the commodities which are to apply from 1 September 2010. It introduces rules concerning semen storage centres and detailed conditions for their approval and supervision. It also sets out detailed conditions for the approval and supervision of embryo collection and production teams, for the collection and processing ofin vivoderived embryos and the production and processing ofin vitrofertilised embryos and micromanipulated embryos. It also amended the conditions to be applied to the donor animals of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species in addition to those laid down in Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae(5).
(5) Accordingly, it is necessary to establish new model health certificates for imports into the Union of the commodities taking into account the amendments made to Directive 92/65/EEC by Directive 2008/73/EC and Regulation (EU) No 176/2010.
(6) In addition, provision should be made for imports into the Union of existing stocks of commodities that comply with the provisions of Directive 92/65/EEC established prior to the entry into force of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010. Accordingly, it is necessary to set out separate model health certificates for imports of consignments of the commodities collected or produced, processed and stored in accordance with Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC prior to 1 September 2010.
(7) The long lasting stocking capabilities for such commodities make it impossible at present to fix a date for the exhaustion of the existing stocks. Therefore, it is not possible to fix a date for the termination of the use of those model health certificates for the existing stocks.
(8) In order to ensure full traceability of the commodities, model health certificates should be set out in this Decision for imports into the Union of semen of animals of the equine species collected in approved semen collection centres and dispatched from an approved semen storage centre, whether or not the latter constitutes part of a semen collection centre approved under a different approval number.
(9) In the interests of consistency and simplification of Union legislation, the model health certificates for the importation of the commodities should take account of Commission Decision 2007/240/EC(6), which provides that the various veterinary, public and animal health certificates required for the imports into the Union of live animals, semen, embryo, ova and products of animal origin are to be based on the standard models for veterinary certificates set out in Annex I thereto.
(10) In addition, it is appropriate that consignments of the commodities imported into the Union from Switzerland are accompanied by the health certificates drawn up in accordance with the models used for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine species and set out in Commission Decision 2010/470/EU of 26 August 2010 laying down model health certificates for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and in ova and in embryos of animals of the porcine species(7), with the adaptations set out in points 8 and 9 of Chapter IX(B) of Appendix 2 of Annex 11 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in Agricultural Products, as approved by Decision 2002/309/EC, Euratom of the Council, and of the Commission as regards the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of 4 April 2002 on the conclusion of seven Agreements with the Swiss Confederation(8).
(11) In the application of this Decision, account should be taken of the specific certification requirements and model health attestations which may be laid down in accordance with the Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Canada on sanitary measures to protect public and animal health in respect of trade in live animals and animal products(9), as approved by Council Decision 1999/201/EC(10).
(12) In the application of this Decision, account should also be taken of the specific certification requirements and model health attestations which may be laid down in accordance with the Agreement between the European Community and New Zealand on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products(11), as approved by Council Decision 97/132/EC(12).
(13) In the interest of clarity of Union legislation, it is necessary to repeal the Union acts currently setting out certification requirements for imports into the Union of the commodities. Accordingly, Commission Decision 96/539/EC of 4 September 1996 on animal health requirements and veterinary certification for imports into the Community of semen of the equine species(13)and Commission Decision 96/540/EC of 4 September 1996 on animal health requirements and veterinary certification for imports into the Community of ova and embryos of the equine species(14)should be repealed.
(14) In addition, Commission Decision 2004/616/EC of 26 July 2004 establishing the list of approved semen collection centres for imports of equine semen from third countries(15)is now obsolete and should be repealed.
(15) 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:

(3) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as thus amended by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010, introduces rules concerning semen storage centres and detailed conditions for their approval and supervision. It also sets out detailed conditions for the approval and supervision of embryo collection and production teams, for the collection and processing ofin vivoderived embryos and the production and processing ofin vitrofertilised embryos and micromanipulated embryos. Annex D, as thus amended, also amended the conditions to be applied to the donor animals of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and of ova and embryos of porcine species.
(4) It is necessary to establish new model health certificates for trade within the Union of the commodities taking into account the animal health requirements set out in Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010.
(5) In addition, provision should be made for existing stocks of commodities in the Union that comply with the provisions of Directive 92/65/EEC established prior to the entry into force of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010. Accordingly, it is necessary to set out separate model health certificates for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and trade in ova and embryos of animals of the porcine species collected or produced, processed and stored in accordance with Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC prior to 1 September 2010.
(6) The long lasting stocking capabilities for such commodities make it impossible at present to fix a date for the exhaustion of the existing stocks. Therefore, it is not possible to fix a date for the termination of the use of those model health certificates for the existing stocks.
(7) In the interests of consistency and simplification of Union legislation, the model health certificates should be set out in a single decision and take account of Commission Regulation (EC) No 599/2004 of 30 March 2004 concerning the adoption of a harmonised model certificate and inspection report linked to intra-Community trade in animals and products of animal origin(3).
(8) In order to ensure full traceability of the commodities, model health certificates should be set out in this Decision for trade within the Union in semen of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species collected in approved semen collection centres and dispatched from an approved semen storage centre, whether or not the latter constitutes part of a semen collection centre approved under a different approval number.
(9) In the interests of clarity of Union legislation, the Union acts setting out model health certificates for trade within the Union in the commodities concerned should be expressly repealed. Accordingly, Commission Decision 95/294/EC of 24 July 1995 determining the specimen animal health certificate for trade in ova and embryos of the equine species(4), Commission Decision 95/307/EC of 24 July 1995 determining the specimen animal health certificate for trade in semen of the equine species(5), Commission Decision 95/388/EC of 19 September 1995 determining the specimen certificate for intra-Community trade in semen, ova and embryos of the ovine and caprine species(6)and Commission Decision 95/483/EC of 9 November 1995 determining the specimen certificate for intra-Community trade in ova and embryos of swine(7)should be repealed.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(1)and in particular the fourth indent of Article 11(2) and the third indent of Article 11(3) thereof,
(1) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing trade within the Union of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to the animal health requirements laid down in specific Union acts. It includes requirements for trade in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and in ova and embryos of animals of the porcine species (‘the commodities’). In addition, it provides for health certificates to be established for trade in the commodities within the Union.
(2) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2010(2), sets out certain new requirements for the commodities which are to apply from 1 September 2010.
(3) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as thus amended by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010, introduces rules concerning semen storage centres and detailed conditions for their approval and supervision. It also sets out detailed conditions for the approval and supervision of embryo collection and production teams, for the collection and processing ofin vivoderived embryos and the production and processing ofin vitrofertilised embryos and micromanipulated embryos. Annex D, as thus amended, also amended the conditions to be applied to the donor animals of semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and of ova and embryos of porcine species.
(4) It is necessary to establish new model health certificates for trade within the Union of the commodities taking into account the animal health requirements set out in Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010.
(5) In addition, provision should be made for existing stocks of commodities in the Union that comply with the provisions of Directive 92/65/EEC established prior to the entry into force of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) No 176/2010. Accordingly, it is necessary to set out separate model health certificates for trade within the Union in semen, ova and embryos of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species and trade in ova and embryos of animals of the porcine species collected or produced, processed and stored in accordance with Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC prior to 1 September 2010.
(6) The long lasting stocking capabilities for such commodities make it impossible at present to fix a date for the exhaustion of the existing stocks. Therefore, it is not possible to fix a date for the termination of the use of those model health certificates for the existing stocks.
(7) In the interests of consistency and simplification of Union legislation, the model health certificates should be set out in a single decision and take account of Commission Regulation (EC) No 599/2004 of 30 March 2004 concerning the adoption of a harmonised model certificate and inspection report linked to intra-Community trade in animals and products of animal origin(3).
(8) In order to ensure full traceability of the commodities, model health certificates should be set out in this Decision for trade within the Union in semen of animals of the equine, ovine and caprine species collected in approved semen collection centres and dispatched from an approved semen storage centre, whether or not the latter constitutes part of a semen collection centre approved under a different approval number.
(9) In the interests of clarity of Union legislation, the Union acts setting out model health certificates for trade within the Union in the commodities concerned should be expressly repealed. Accordingly, Commission Decision 95/294/EC of 24 July 1995 determining the specimen animal health certificate for trade in ova and embryos of the equine species(4), Commission Decision 95/307/EC of 24 July 1995 determining the specimen animal health certificate for trade in semen of the equine species(5), Commission Decision 95/388/EC of 19 September 1995 determining the specimen certificate for intra-Community trade in semen, ova and embryos of the ovine and caprine species(6)and Commission Decision 95/483/EC of 9 November 1995 determining the specimen certificate for intra-Community trade in ova and embryos of swine(7)should be repealed.

28.8.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 226/46
(1) Commission Directive 2009/74/EC of 26 June 2009 amending Council Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/55/EC and 2002/57/EC as regards the botanical names of plants, the scientific names of other organisms and certain Annexes to Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC in the light of developments of scientific and technical knowledge(2)has identified the speciesAvena strigosaSchreb. (hereinafter ‘A. strigosa’) as an independent species to be included in the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC.
(2) A. strigosais a crop proved to be among the most effective in reducing soil erosion, nitrogen leaching, in particular leaching of nitrates from agricultural sources, and it is an important component of seed mixtures for forage purposes. According to the information provided by the authorities of 6 Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal), the demand for seed of this species has in the last years increased considerably in the Union and in particular in these Member States.
(3) Before the entry into force of Directive 2009/74/EC and the subsequent listing ofA. strigosaamong the species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, the supply of the market was ensured by national production and mainly by the import from third countries of seed of this species in accordance with national legislation applicable at that time. Following the inclusion ofA. strigosain the list of the species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only seed of varieties registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species may be marketed and imported.
(4) Since the inclusion of the speciesA. strigosaamong the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only two varieties of that species have been registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species.
(5) In the light of these circumstances, temporary difficulties in the general supply ofA. strigosahave occurred and are expected to continue. These difficulties cannot be overcome otherwise than through Member States permitting, for a specified period and subject to an appropriate maximum quantity, the marketing of varieties ofA. strigosanot included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States.
(6) Member States should therefore be authorised to temporarily permit the marketing of such seed, subject to certain conditions and limitations and without prejudice to the more stringent provisions concerning the presence ofAvena fatuain cereal seed which Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland may apply pursuant to the relevant Commission Decisions.
(7) It appears from the information provided to the Commission by the Member States that, in total, a quantity of 4 970 tonnes is necessary to resolve these supply difficulties (Belgium 300 tonnes, France 3 700 tonnes, Germany 200 tonnes, Italy 220 tonnes, Spain 300 tonnes and Portugal 250 tonnes), for a period expiring on 31 December 2010. To ensure that this seed is of sufficient quality it should meet at least the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species for the category certified seed, 2nd generation ofA. strigosa.
(8) It is appropriate that one Member State acts in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing by the Member States pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the total maximum quantity of 4 970 tonnes that is necessary to resolve the supply difficulties. In line with the requests of the six Member States, France should therefore act as single coordinator. In order to ensure the good functioning of the system set out by this Decision, it is further necessary that the coordinating Member State, the other Member States and the Commission immediately share the relevant information regarding applications and the granting of authorisations for marketing.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
(a) there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able and intends to place the quantity of seed specified in his application on the market; or
(b) having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2) being exceeded; or
(c) the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species referred to in Article 1(3) have not been met.
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed(1), and in particular Article 17(1) thereof,
(1) Commission Directive 2009/74/EC of 26 June 2009 amending Council Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/55/EC and 2002/57/EC as regards the botanical names of plants, the scientific names of other organisms and certain Annexes to Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC in the light of developments of scientific and technical knowledge(2)has identified the speciesAvena strigosaSchreb.

In order to ensure the good functioning of the system set out by this Decision, it is further necessary that the coordinating Member State, the other Member States and the Commission immediately share the relevant information regarding applications and the granting of authorisations for marketing.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1
1. The marketing in the Union of seed of varieties ofA. strigosanot included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States shall be permitted, for a period expiring on 31 December 2010 and subject to the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 to 5.
2. The total quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed 4 970 tonnes.
3. The seed referred to in paragraph 1 shall comply with the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species to be satisfied by the seed for the category certified seed, 2nd generation ofA. strigosa.
4. Without prejudice to any labelling requirement of Directive 66/402/EEC, the official label shall contain the statement that the seed in question is of a category satisfying less stringent requirements than those laid down by that Directive, and that this category is lower than the category certified seed, 2nd generation. The colour of the label shall be brown.
5. The marketing of the seed referred in paragraph 1 shall be permitted upon application in conformity with Article 2.

Article 2
Any seed supplier wishing to place on the market the seed referred to in Article 1(1) shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which he is established or to the Member State in which he wishes to place the seed on the market. The application shall specify the quantity of seed that the supplier wishes to place on the market.
The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place the quantity of seed specified in the application on the market, unless:
(a)
there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able and intends to place the quantity of seed specified in his application on the market; or
(b)
having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2) being exceeded; or
(c)
the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species referred to in Article 1(3) have not been met.
As regard point (b), in case the total maximum quantity would only allow for authorisation of part of the quantity specified in the application, the Member State concerned may authorise the supplier to place that lesser quantity on the market.

Article 3
Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.
For the period starting from the entry into force of this Decision until 31 December 2010, France shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union by the Member States pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2).
Any Member State receiving an application pursuant to Article 2 shall immediately inform the coordinating Member State of the quantity specified in that application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform that Member State as to whether and to what extent granting authorisation for marketing upon that application would result in the total maximum quantity of seed being exceeded.

Article 4
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities in respect of which they have granted authorisation for marketing pursuant to this Decision.

Article 5
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed(1), and in particular Article 17(1) thereof,
(1) Commission Directive 2009/74/EC of 26 June 2009 amending Council Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/55/EC and 2002/57/EC as regards the botanical names of plants, the scientific names of other organisms and certain Annexes to Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 2002/57/EC in the light of developments of scientific and technical knowledge(2)has identified the speciesAvena strigosaSchreb. (hereinafter ‘A. strigosa’) as an independent species to be included in the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC.
(2) A. strigosais a crop proved to be among the most effective in reducing soil erosion, nitrogen leaching, in particular leaching of nitrates from agricultural sources, and it is an important component of seed mixtures for forage purposes. According to the information provided by the authorities of 6 Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal), the demand for seed of this species has in the last years increased considerably in the Union and in particular in these Member States.
(3) Before the entry into force of Directive 2009/74/EC and the subsequent listing ofA. strigosaamong the species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, the supply of the market was ensured by national production and mainly by the import from third countries of seed of this species in accordance with national legislation applicable at that time. Following the inclusion ofA. strigosain the list of the species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only seed of varieties registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species may be marketed and imported.
(4) Since the inclusion of the speciesA. strigosaamong the list of species covered by Directive 66/402/EEC, only two varieties of that species have been registered in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species.
(5) In the light of these circumstances, temporary difficulties in the general supply ofA. strigosahave occurred and are expected to continue. These difficulties cannot be overcome otherwise than through Member States permitting, for a specified period and subject to an appropriate maximum quantity, the marketing of varieties ofA. strigosanot included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States.
(6) Member States should therefore be authorised to temporarily permit the marketing of such seed, subject to certain conditions and limitations and without prejudice to the more stringent provisions concerning the presence ofAvena fatuain cereal seed which Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland may apply pursuant to the relevant Commission Decisions.
(7) It appears from the information provided to the Commission by the Member States that, in total, a quantity of 4 970 tonnes is necessary to resolve these supply difficulties (Belgium 300 tonnes, France 3 700 tonnes, Germany 200 tonnes, Italy 220 tonnes, Spain 300 tonnes and Portugal 250 tonnes), for a period expiring on 31 December 2010. To ensure that this seed is of sufficient quality it should meet at least the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species for the category certified seed, 2nd generation ofA. strigosa.
(8) It is appropriate that one Member State acts in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing by the Member States pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the total maximum quantity of 4 970 tonnes that is necessary to resolve the supply difficulties. In line with the requests of the six Member States, France should therefore act as single coordinator. In order to ensure the good functioning of the system set out by this Decision, it is further necessary that the coordinating Member State, the other Member States and the Commission immediately share the relevant information regarding applications and the granting of authorisations for marketing.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
1. The marketing in the Union of seed of varieties ofA. strigosanot included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or in the national catalogues of varieties of the Member States shall be permitted, for a period expiring on 31 December 2010 and subject to the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 to 5.
2. The total quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed 4 970 tonnes.
3. The seed referred to in paragraph 1 shall comply with the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC as regards the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species to be satisfied by the seed for the category certified seed, 2nd generation ofA. strigosa.
4. Without prejudice to any labelling requirement of Directive 66/402/EEC, the official label shall contain the statement that the seed in question is of a category satisfying less stringent requirements than those laid down by that Directive, and that this category is lower than the category certified seed, 2nd generation. The colour of the label shall be brown.
5. The marketing of the seed referred in paragraph 1 shall be permitted upon application in conformity with Article 2.
Any seed supplier wishing to place on the market the seed referred to in Article 1(1) shall apply for authorisation to the Member State in which he is established or to the Member State in which he wishes to place the seed on the market. The application shall specify the quantity of seed that the supplier wishes to place on the market.
The Member State concerned shall authorise the supplier to place the quantity of seed specified in the application on the market, unless:
(a)
there is sufficient evidence to doubt whether the supplier is able and intends to place the quantity of seed specified in his application on the market; or
(b)
having regard to the information provided by the coordinating Member State referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3, granting the authorisation would result in the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2) being exceeded; or
(c)
the conditions concerning germination, analytical purity and content of seeds of other plant species referred to in Article 1(3) have not been met.
As regard point (b), in case the total maximum quantity would only allow for authorisation of part of the quantity specified in the application, the Member State concerned may authorise the supplier to place that lesser quantity on the market.
Member States shall assist each other administratively in the application of this Decision.
For the period starting from the entry into force of this Decision until 31 December 2010, France shall act as coordinating Member State in order to ensure that the quantity of seed authorised for marketing in the Union by the Member States pursuant to this Decision shall not exceed the total maximum quantity of seed referred to in Article 1(2).
Any Member State receiving an application pursuant to Article 2 shall immediately inform the coordinating Member State of the quantity specified in that application. The coordinating Member State shall immediately inform that Member State as to whether and to what extent granting authorisation for marketing upon that application would result in the total maximum quantity of seed being exceeded.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities in respect of which they have granted authorisation for marketing pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

28.8.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 226/42
(1) Commission Decision 2007/365/EC(2)requires Member States to adopt measures to protect themselves against the introduction and spread ofRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Olivier) (the specified organism). In addition, Member States are to conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism or evidence of infection by the specified organism on plants of thePalmaefamily in their territory and notify the Commission and the other Member States of the results of those surveys.
(2) The official annual surveys carried out by the Member States in 2009 show that the specified organism also infested plant species belonging to thePalmaefamily which are not defined as susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC. Therefore, it is necessary to include the plant species belonging toPalmaein the list of susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC in order to allow for the emergency measures provided for in that Decision to apply also to those species.
(3) Missions carried out by the Commission in Member States, in particular in 2009, showed that the results of the application of Decision 2007/365/EC were not fully satisfactory as regards the measures to be taken in cases where the specified organism is detected. In addition to the findings of those missions, the Commission received further information on the methods of control, containment and eradication of the specified organism, in January 2010, from a group of experts formed by the Commission to assist it in this context and including experts from all Member States affected by the specified organism, and in May 2010, on the occasion of an international conference on the specified organism, which took place in Spain. Taking into account the results of those missions and the information received in 2010, it is necessary to make certain amendments to Decision 2007/365/EC.
(4) The information received in 2009 and in 2010 suggests that the risk of possible spread of the specified organism through import of susceptible plants from third countries or from areas in third countries, that are not free from the specified organism cannot, due to the cryptic biology of the specified organism, be adequately mitigated by appropriate preventive treatments. Such treatments do not sufficiently prevent spreading of the specified organism from susceptible plants which are infested but show no symptoms. It is therefore necessary to place susceptible plants imported from those third countries or from those areas in third countries in a site in the Union with complete physical protection.
(5) In cases where the specified organism appears in a Member State or in a part of a Member State, in which its presence was previously unknown, the Member State concerned should immediately, and in any case within five days, notify the Commission and the other Member States. To this aim, it should also be ensured that the responsible official body of that Member State is immediately informed. In most cases the Member State concerned should further define a demarcated area, draw up an action plan and implement that action plan. In order to facilitate an integrated approach for the eradication of the organism the action plan should set out all the measures, the reasons for those measures, describing the situation and the scientific data and the criteria on which those measures were selected.
(6) However, in some cases it may occur that only plants belonging to one consignment were identified as infested in an area, in which the specified organism was previously not known to occur within a radius of 10 km around those infested plants, that the infestation is linked to a consignment that was moved recently into that area and that that consignment had already been infested by the specified organism prior to movement. In those cases, and only where there is no risk of spreading of the specified organism, Member States should have the possibility to decide not to establish the demarcated area and to limit the official measures to the destruction of the infested material, carrying out an intensified survey programme and the tracing of related plant material.
(7) In order to provide the Commission and the other Member States with detailed information on the spreading of the specified organism and on the official measures taken to contain and eradicate it, the Member States concerned should submit the official annual surveys to the Commission together with up-to-date action plans and, where applicable, an up-to-date list of the demarcated areas including a description and location of those areas.
(8) Decision 2007/365/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,
(1) Commission Decision 2007/365/EC(2)requires Member States to adopt measures to protect themselves against the introduction and spread ofRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Olivier) (the specified organism). In addition, Member States are to conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism or evidence of infection by the specified organism on plants of thePalmaefamily in their territory and notify the Commission and the other Member States of the results of those surveys.
(2) The official annual surveys carried out by the Member States in 2009 show that the specified organism also infested plant species belonging to thePalmaefamily which are not defined as susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC. Therefore, it is necessary to include the plant species belonging toPalmaein the list of susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC in order to allow for the emergency measures provided for in that Decision to apply also to those species.
(3) Missions carried out by the Commission in Member States, in particular in 2009, showed that the results of the application of Decision 2007/365/EC were not fully satisfactory as regards the measures to be taken in cases where the specified organism is detected. In addition to the findings of those missions, the Commission received further information on the methods of control, containment and eradication of the specified organism, in January 2010, from a group of experts formed by the Commission to assist it in this context and including experts from all Member States affected by the specified organism, and in May 2010, on the occasion of an international conference on the specified organism, which took place in Spain. Taking into account the results of those missions and the information received in 2010, it is necessary to make certain amendments to Decision 2007/365/EC.
(4) The information received in 2009 and in 2010 suggests that the risk of possible spread of the specified organism through import of susceptible plants from third countries or from areas in third countries, that are not free from the specified organism cannot, due to the cryptic biology of the specified organism, be adequately mitigated by appropriate preventive treatments. Such treatments do not sufficiently prevent spreading of the specified organism from susceptible plants which are infested but show no symptoms. It is therefore necessary to place susceptible plants imported from those third countries or from those areas in third countries in a site in the Union with complete physical protection.
(5) In cases where the specified organism appears in a Member State or in a part of a Member State, in which its presence was previously unknown, the Member State concerned should immediately, and in any case within five days, notify the Commission and the other Member States. To this aim, it should also be ensured that the responsible official body of that Member State is immediately informed. In most cases the Member State concerned should further define a demarcated area, draw up an action plan and implement that action plan. In order to facilitate an integrated approach for the eradication of the organism the action plan should set out all the measures, the reasons for those measures, describing the situation and the scientific data and the criteria on which those measures were selected.
(6) However, in some cases it may occur that only plants belonging to one consignment were identified as infested in an area, in which the specified organism was previously not known to occur within a radius of 10 km around those infested plants, that the infestation is linked to a consignment that was moved recently into that area and that that consignment had already been infested by the specified organism prior to movement. In those cases, and only where there is no risk of spreading of the specified organism, Member States should have the possibility to decide not to establish the demarcated area and to limit the official measures to the destruction of the infested material, carrying out an intensified survey programme and the tracing of related plant material.
(7) In order to provide the Commission and the other Member States with detailed information on the spreading of the specified organism and on the official measures taken to contain and eradicate it, the Member States concerned should submit the official annual surveys to the Commission together with up-to-date action plans and, where applicable, an up-to-date list of the demarcated areas including a description and location of those areas.
(8) Decision 2007/365/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,
(1) Commission Decision 2007/365/EC(2)requires Member States to adopt measures to protect themselves against the introduction and spread ofRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Olivier) (the specified organism). In addition, Member States are to conduct official annual surveys for the presence of the specified organism or evidence of infection by the specified organism on plants of thePalmaefamily in their territory and notify the Commission and the other Member States of the results of those surveys.
(2) The official annual surveys carried out by the Member States in 2009 show that the specified organism also infested plant species belonging to thePalmaefamily which are not defined as susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC. Therefore, it is necessary to include the plant species belonging toPalmaein the list of susceptible plants in Decision 2007/365/EC in order to allow for the emergency measures provided for in that Decision to apply also to those species.

Taking into account the results of those missions and the information received in 2010, it is necessary to make certain amendments to Decision 2007/365/EC.
