(1)
When a mass disaster occurred in a Member State (such as for example major fires, chemical/nuclear accidents, or pandemics), which resulted in a transfer of patients to another Member State, it has not always been clear which Member State was responsible to bear the costs of healthcare and under which legal basis.

(2)
Practical difficulties may result from the fact that more than two Member States can be involved in case of a mass casualty disaster, which calls for a uniform legal approach on this matter.

(3)
Pursuant to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (particularly, in itsElchinovjudgment of 5 October 2010(3)), the requirement for prior authorisation cannot prevent the right to reimbursement in respect of hospital treatment when other conditions in the competent Member State are met. The transfer of insured persons to a Member State other than the competent Member State, in order to receive vitally urgent healthcare following a mass casualty disaster, should therefore be interpreted as falling within the scope of Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.

(4)
If the Member State where a mass casualty disaster occurred does not have the capacity to provide the vitally urgent healthcare to the injured/sick persons, the need to transfer them to another Member State demonstrates that the healthcare concerned could not be given within a time-limit which is medically justifiable, as required by Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.

(5)
In the specific circumstances of mass casualty disasters, it is often very complicated to comply with the temporality provided for in Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and to ask for a prior authorisation to receive healthcare in another Member State.

(6)
The decision to transfer patients to another Member State following a mass casualty disaster is the result of a medical assessment, made by a healthcare provider in the Member State where the disaster occurred. Since an attempt to give an exhaustive overview of what could constitute a mass casualty disaster would be very complicated, a case-by-case approach should be favoured in this regard.

(7)
In the specific circumstances of mass casualty disasters, the transport to, and from, the Member State of treatment (where the patient was transferred because vitally urgent healthcare was not available “within a time-limit which is medically justifiable”), is inherent to the treatment itself. The competent Member State, even if it does not provide for the reimbursement of the costs of travel and stay, may exceptionally decide to cover such costs.

(8)
In case of transport of patients to another Member State in the event of a mass casualty disaster, the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) provides a 24/7 service that can coordinate and co-finance the necessary medical transport. When Member States decide to request such assistance, the ERCC will activate the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism in accordance with its standard procedures(4).

(9)
Guidelines on the follow-up and/or continuation of the treatment after the patients are transferred back home, in the Member State of residence or in the competent Member State (e.g., exchange of medical reports, recognition of prescriptions, etc) could facilitate the handling of such cases between all Member States involved.Acting in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 71(2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004,

1.
This Decision lays down the rules for the reimbursement of healthcare in case of patients’ transfer to another Member State in case of mass casualties following disasters.

2.
The benefits in kind provided to injured/sick persons insured in a Member State and transferred to a Member State other than the competent Member State or the Member State of residence (where s/he is registered with a document S1 or SED S072), following a mass casualty disaster, fall under Articles 20 and 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.

3.
In the event of a mass casualty disaster, the competent Member State shall issue an S2 authorisationa posterioripursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, so that the costs of the benefits in kind delivered in the Member State of treatment (where the patient is transferred, but not insured or registered with a document S1 or SED S072) are covered by the competent Member State.

4.
If a mass casualty disaster occurred in the Member State of residence (where the patient is registered with a document S1 or SED S072) and the patient is transferred to a Member State other than the competent Member State, the Member State of residence shall issue an S2 authorisationa posterioripursuant to Article 26(3) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009, so that the costs of the benefits in kind delivered in the Member State of treatment (where the patient is transferred, but not insured or registered with a document S1 or SED S072) are covered by the competent Member State, taking into account Articles 20(4) and 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.

5.
An S2 authorisation issueda posterioriin accordance with paragraphs 3 or 4 shall contain a clear indication that it relates to vitally urgent healthcare for a patient transferred to another Member State in connection with a mass casualty disaster.

6.
The Member States shall favour a case-by-case assessment while deciding whether a case constitutes a mass casualty disaster or not.A non-exhaustive list of the situations which can be considered as a “mass casualty disaster” is given in the Annex hereto.

7.
Pursuant to Article 26(8) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009, where the national legislation of the competent Member State provides for the reimbursement of the costs of travel and stay which are inseparable from the treatment of the insured person, the costs of transport to, and from, the Member State of treatment (including from the Member State of treatment to the Member State of residence), in case of patients’ transfer following a mass casualty disaster, shall be borne by the competent Member State that issued the document S2 (or on whose behalf the document S2 was issued by the Member State of residence further to Article 26(3) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009).The competent Member State may – given the exceptional circumstances – nevertheless decide to reimburse the transport costs, and other related costs, even if this is not provided for by its national legislation.

8.
This Decision is without prejudice to the bilateral agreements between Member States on cross-border healthcare.

9.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from the first day of the second month after its publication.

Having regard to Article 72 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems (1), under which the Administrative Commission is responsible for dealing with all administrative questions or questions of interpretation arising from the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems (2),

(1)
In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), radio equipment which is in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which have been published in theOfficial Journal of the European Union, is to be presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements set out in Article 3 of that Directive where they are covered by those standards or parts thereof.

(2)
By Implementing Decision C(2022)5637(3), the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) for the drafting of new harmonised standards in support of Article 3(3), first subparagraph, points (d), (e) and (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU, for the categories and classes of the radio equipment specified in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30(4)(‘the request’).

(3)
On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec drafted harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (d), of Directive 2014/53/EU; EN 18031-2:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment, childcare radio equipment, toys radio equipment and wearable radio equipment, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (e), of Directive 2014/53/EU; and EN 18031-3:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment processing virtual money or monetary value, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU.

(4)
The Commission, together with CEN and Cenelec, has assessed whether those harmonised standards comply with the request.

(5)
Harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 include numerous sections named ‘rationale’ and ‘guidance’. The section named ‘rationale’ aims to provide a justification for the need to address certain risks. The sections named ‘guidance’ includes examples and considerations on the possibilities to implement certain mitigation measures. Neither of the two aforementioned sections set out specifications. Additionally, the sections named ‘guidance’ include references to standardisation deliverables of national standardisation organisations. As a general rule, harmonised standards should not include normative cross-references to such standardisation deliverables.

(6)
Clauses 6.2.5.1 and 6.2.5.2 of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 deal with default passwords. Those clauses offer manufacturers the possibility to allow a user not to set or use any password. It is considered that, if this option is implemented, the relevant authentication risks will not be properly addressed and therefore conformity with the essential requirements set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, points (d), (e) and (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU would not be ensured.

(7)
Clauses 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 of harmonised standard EN 18031-2:2024 include specifications on access control mechanism for toy radio equipment and for childcare radio equipment. More specifically, the implementation categories described under the subsections ‘assessment criteria’ are the following: role-based access control, discretionary access control, mandatory access control or others. Certain of these categories might not be compatible with parental or guardian control. In such a case, it is considered that, if parental or guardian control is not implemented, the relevant authentication risks will not be addressed and, therefore, conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (e), of Directive 2014/53/EU would not be ensured.

(8)
Clause 6.3.2.4 of harmonised standard EN 18031-3:2024 includes assessment criteria for secure updates. Four different implementation categories are laid down, based on digital signatures, secure communication mechanisms, access control mechanisms or others. None of the methods alone are sufficient for the treatment of financial assets. It is considered that the assessment criteria do not properly address the relevant authentication risks and cannot therefore ensure conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU.

(9)
The references of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 should therefore be published in theOfficial Journal of the European Unionwith restrictions.

(10)
Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191(5)provides the references of harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2014/53/EU. In order to ensure that the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/53/EU are listed in one act, the references of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 should be included in that Annex, with restrictions.

(11)
Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(12)
Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such standard in theOfficial Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), radio equipment which is in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, is to be presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements set out in Article 3 of that Directive where they are covered by those standards or parts thereof.

(2) By Implementing Decision C(2022)5637 (3), the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) for the drafting of new harmonised standards in support of Article 3(3), first subparagraph, points (d), (e) and (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU, for the categories and classes of the radio equipment specified in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 (4) (‘the request’).

(3) On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec drafted harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (d), of Directive 2014/53/EU; EN 18031-2:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment, childcare radio equipment, toys radio equipment and wearable radio equipment, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (e), of Directive 2014/53/EU; and EN 18031-3:2024 on common security requirements for internet connected radio equipment processing virtual money or monetary value, in support of the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU.

(4) The Commission, together with CEN and Cenelec, has assessed whether those harmonised standards comply with the request.

(5) Harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 include numerous sections named ‘rationale’ and ‘guidance’. The section named ‘rationale’ aims to provide a justification for the need to address certain risks. The sections named ‘guidance’ includes examples and considerations on the possibilities to implement certain mitigation measures. Neither of the two aforementioned sections set out specifications. Additionally, the sections named ‘guidance’ include references to standardisation deliverables of national standardisation organisations. As a general rule, harmonised standards should not include normative cross-references to such standardisation deliverables.

(6) Clauses 6.2.5.1 and 6.2.5.2 of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 deal with default passwords. Those clauses offer manufacturers the possibility to allow a user not to set or use any password. It is considered that, if this option is implemented, the relevant authentication risks will not be properly addressed and therefore conformity with the essential requirements set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, points (d), (e) and (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU would not be ensured.

(7) Clauses 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 of harmonised standard EN 18031-2:2024 include specifications on access control mechanism for toy radio equipment and for childcare radio equipment. More specifically, the implementation categories described under the subsections ‘assessment criteria’ are the following: role-based access control, discretionary access control, mandatory access control or others. Certain of these categories might not be compatible with parental or guardian control. In such a case, it is considered that, if parental or guardian control is not implemented, the relevant authentication risks will not be addressed and, therefore, conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (e), of Directive 2014/53/EU would not be ensured.

(8) Clause 6.3.2.4 of harmonised standard EN 18031-3:2024 includes assessment criteria for secure updates. Four different implementation categories are laid down, based on digital signatures, secure communication mechanisms, access control mechanisms or others. None of the methods alone are sufficient for the treatment of financial assets. It is considered that the assessment criteria do not properly address the relevant authentication risks and cannot therefore ensure conformity with the essential requirement set out in Article 3(3), first subparagraph, point (f), of Directive 2014/53/EU.

(9) The references of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 should therefore be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with restrictions.

(10) Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191 (5) provides the references of harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2014/53/EU. In order to ensure that the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/53/EU are listed in one act, the references of harmonised standards EN 18031-1:2024, EN 18031-2:2024 and EN 18031-3:2024 should be included in that Annex, with restrictions.

(11) Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(12) Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such standard in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication,

Commission Decision of 25 February 2025 correcting Decision C(2024) 6658 of 30 September 2024 approving on behalf of the European Union, the position to be taken as regards amendments to Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore

                                January 13, 2026                            

Official Journalof the European Union
ENC series




C/2025/1361
27.2.2025



(1)
Commission Decision of 30 September 2024 approving on behalf of the European Union, the position to be taken as regards amendments to Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (‘Agreement’) was published in theOfficial Journal of the European Unionon 1 October 2024(2).



(2)
The Annex to that Decision contains errors. In the sixth recital of the draft decision of the EU-Singapore Trade Committee a reference to Article 10.18 of the Agreement was inserted, which is not relevant. In point 149 ‘Pálinka’ of Annex 10-B a footnote is missing. There are several errors and mistakes in the names of the listed geographical indications.



(3)
Decision C(2024) 6658 should therefore be corrected accordingly,



(1)
The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 21 November 2019.



(2)
Article 10.17.3 of the Agreement provides that the Trade Committee adopts a decision regarding the listing in Annex 10-B (Protected Geographical Indications) to the Agreement of the names from Annex 10-A (List of names to be applied for protection as Geographical Indications in the territory of the Parties) to the Agreement as soon as practicable after the procedures for protection of geographical indications have been concluded.



(3)
Article 10.18 of the Agreement provides that the Parties agree on the possibility of amending the list of geographical indications for wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs listed in Annex 10-B to be protected by each Party.



(4)
The Republic of Singapore has completed the procedure for protection in its territory of four names (“Bayerisches Bier”, “Guijuelo”, “Siurana”, “Utiel-Requena”) that were listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and were applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.



(5)
The Republic of Singapore has completed the procedure for protection in its territory of twenty-one names (“Amarone della Valpolicella”, “Bordeaux supérieur”, “Cariñena”, “Cassis de Dijon”, “Côtes de Bordeaux”, “Crémant de Bourgogne”, “delle Venezie / Beneških okolišev”, “Dresdner Christstollen / Dresdner Stollen / Dresdner Weihnachtsstollen”, “Finocchiona”, “Χαλλούμι / Halloumi / Hellim”, “Idiazabal”, “Καλαμάτα / Kalamata”, “Kölsch”, “Los Pedroches”, “Méditerranée”, “Mont d'Or / Vacherin du Haut-Doubs”, “Monti Iblei”, “Morbier”, “Prosecco”, “Speck Alto Adige / Südtiroler Markenspeck / Südtiroler Speck”, “Toscano”), that were not listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and were applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.



(6)
Following the changes of names of “Alsace” into “Alsace / Vin d’Alsace” and “Jamón de Teruel” into “Jamón de Teruel / Paleta de Teruel” in the Union’s territory, these two names should also be changed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement.



(7)
Consequently, Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Agreement should be amended by listing those additional twenty-five names as protected geographical indications of the Union in Annex 10-B and removing four of those names from Annex 10-A. The two names “Alsace” and “Jamón de Teruel” should also be changed in Annex 10-A,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Decision (EU) 2019/1875 of 8 November 2019 on the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision of 30 September 2024 approving on behalf of the European Union, the position to be taken as regards amendments to Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (‘Agreement’) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 1 October 2024 (2).

(2) The Annex to that Decision contains errors. In the sixth recital of the draft decision of the EU-Singapore Trade Committee a reference to Article 10.18 of the Agreement was inserted, which is not relevant. In point 149 ‘Pálinka’ of Annex 10-B a footnote is missing. There are several errors and mistakes in the names of the listed geographical indications.

(3) Decision C(2024) 6658 should therefore be corrected accordingly,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
The Annex to Decision C(2024) 6658 is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

DECISION No …/2025 OF THE EU-SINGAPORE TRADE COMMITTEE

of XX/YY 2025

amending Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore

THE TRADE COMMITTEE,

Having regard to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore, and in particular Articles 10.17.3 and 10.18 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 21 November 2019. (2) Article 10.17.3 of the Agreement provides that the Trade Committee adopts a decision regarding the listing in Annex 10-B (Protected Geographical Indications) to the Agreement of the names from Annex 10-A (List of names to be applied for protection as Geographical Indications in the territory of the Parties) to the Agreement as soon as practicable after the procedures for protection of geographical indications have been concluded.

(3) Article 10.18 of the Agreement provides that the Parties agree on the possibility of amending the list of geographical indications for wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs listed in Annex 10-B to be protected by each Party.

(4) The Republic of Singapore has completed the procedure for protection in its territory of four names (“Bayerisches Bier”, “Guijuelo”, “Siurana”, “Utiel-Requena”) that were listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and were applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.

(5) The Republic of Singapore has completed the procedure for protection in its territory of twenty-one names (“Amarone della Valpolicella”, “Bordeaux supérieur”, “Cariñena”, “Cassis de Dijon”, “Côtes de Bordeaux”, “Crémant de Bourgogne”, “delle Venezie / Beneških okolišev”, “Dresdner Christstollen / Dresdner Stollen / Dresdner Weihnachtsstollen”, “Finocchiona”, “Χαλλούμι / Halloumi / Hellim”, “Idiazabal”, “Καλαμάτα / Kalamata”, “Kölsch”, “Los Pedroches”, “Méditerranée”, “Mont d’Or / Vacherin du Haut-Doubs”, “Monti Iblei”, “Morbier”, “Prosecco”, “Speck Alto Adige / Südtiroler Markenspeck / Südtiroler Speck”, “Toscano”), that were not listed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement and were applied for protection as geographical indications of the Union.

(6) Following the changes of names of “Alsace” into “Alsace / Vin d’Alsace” and “Jamón de Teruel” into “Jamón de Teruel / Paleta de Teruel” in the Union’s territory, these two names should also be changed in Annex 10-A to the Agreement.

(7) Consequently, Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Agreement should be amended by listing those additional twenty-five names as protected geographical indications of the Union in Annex 10-B and removing four of those names from Annex 10-A. The two names “Alsace” and “Jamón de Teruel” should also be changed in Annex 10-A,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes 10-A and 10-B to the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Council Decision (CFSP) 2025/129 of 21 January 2025 on an assistance measure under the European Peace Facility to support the Lebanese Armed Forces

                                January 13, 2026                            

Official Journalof the European Union
ENL series

2025/129
22.1.2025

(1)
Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/509(1)establishes the European Peace Facility (EPF) for the financing by Member States of Union actions under the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) to preserve peace, prevent conflicts and strengthen international security pursuant to Article 21(2), point (c), of the Treaty. In particular, pursuant to Article 1(2) of Decision (CFSP) 2021/509, the EPF is to be used for the financing of assistance measures such as actions to strengthen the capacities of third States and regional and international organisations relating to military and defence matters.

(2)
The 2016 Global Strategy for the CFSP sets the objectives of strengthening security and defence, investing in the resilience of states and societies to the east of the Union, and developing an integrated approach to conflict and crises, including compliance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law.

(3)
On 21 March 2022, the Union approved the Strategic Compass, with the objective of becoming a stronger and more capable security provider, including through increased use of the EPF in support of partners’ defence capabilities.

(4)
In its Conclusions of 17 and 18 April 2024, the European Council reaffirmed the Union’s objective to work with all partners in the Middle East to avoid further escalation of tensions in the region, notably in Lebanon, and underlined the Union’s commitment to support the stability of that country.

(5)
In its Conclusions of 27 June 2024, the European Council expressed its concern about increasing tensions, notably along the Blue Line, and growing destruction and forced displacement of civilians on both sides of the Israeli-Lebanese border. It also called for further support to strengthen Lebanon, including the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).

(6)
In its Conclusions of 19 December 2024, the European Council welcomed the ceasefire agreement of 27 November 2024 between Israel and Lebanon, following the mediation efforts undertaken in particular by France and the United States. It urged the parties to implement the ceasefire as agreed, and called for the full and symmetrical implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006). The European Council recalled in that context the fundamental stabilisation role of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon. The Union will continue to support Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and state-building efforts, including by contributing to the strengthening of the LAF. The European Council called on Lebanese political leaders to take the necessary action to overcome the political and economic impasse, including the swift election of a president.

(7)
On 13 December 2024, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy received a request from Lebanon for the Union to further assist in the enhancement of the capacities of the LAF.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28(1) and Article 41(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1) Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/509 (1) establishes the European Peace Facility (EPF) for the financing by Member States of Union actions under the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) to preserve peace, prevent conflicts and strengthen international security pursuant to Article 21(2), point (c), of the Treaty. In particular, pursuant to Article 1(2) of Decision (CFSP) 2021/509, the EPF is to be used for the financing of assistance measures such as actions to strengthen the capacities of third States and regional and international organisations relating to military and defence matters.

(2) The 2016 Global Strategy for the CFSP sets the objectives of strengthening security and defence, investing in the resilience of states and societies to the east of the Union, and developing an integrated approach to conflict and crises, including compliance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law.

(3) On 21 March 2022, the Union approved the Strategic Compass, with the objective of becoming a stronger and more capable security provider, including through increased use of the EPF in support of partners’ defence capabilities.

(4) In its Conclusions of 17 and 18 April 2024, the European Council reaffirmed the Union’s objective to work with all partners in the Middle East to avoid further escalation of tensions in the region, notably in Lebanon, and underlined the Union’s commitment to support the stability of that country.

(5) In its Conclusions of 27 June 2024, the European Council expressed its concern about increasing tensions, notably along the Blue Line, and growing destruction and forced displacement of civilians on both sides of the Israeli-Lebanese border. It also called for further support to strengthen Lebanon, including the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).

(6) In its Conclusions of 19 December 2024, the European Council welcomed the ceasefire agreement of 27 November 2024 between Israel and Lebanon, following the mediation efforts undertaken in particular by France and the United States. It urged the parties to implement the ceasefire as agreed, and called for the full and symmetrical implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006). The European Council recalled in that context the fundamental stabilisation role of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon. The Union will continue to support Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and state-building efforts, including by contributing to the strengthening of the LAF. The European Council called on Lebanese political leaders to take the necessary action to overcome the political and economic impasse, including the swift election of a president.

(7) On 13 December 2024, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy received a request from Lebanon for the Union to further assist in the enhancement of the capacities of the LAF.

(8) Assistance measures are to be implemented taking into account the principles and requirements set out in Decision (CFSP) 2021/509, in particular compliance with Council Common Position 2008/944/CFSP (2), and in line with the rules for the implementation of revenue and expenditure financed under the EPF.

(9) The Council reaffirms its determination to protect, promote and fulfil human rights, fundamental freedoms and democratic principles and to strengthen the rule of law and good governance, in compliance with the Charter of the United Nations, with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and with international law, in particular international human rights law and international humanitarian law,

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/126 of 24 January 2025 Correcting Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2767 as regards the determination of reference values for certain producers and importers for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2026 (notified under document C(2025) 390)

                                January 13, 2026

(1)
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2767(2)determines reference values for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2026 for each producer or importer that has lawfully placed on the market hydrofluorocarbons for the relevant reference period, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/573.

(2)
It is necessary to correct Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2767 in order to rectify errors with respect to a few importers and producers. Firstly, the address of two undertakings should be corrected. Secondly, two undertakings should not have received a reference value since they did not have a valid registration in the F-gas Portal at the time of the adoption of that Implementing Decision; thus they should be removed from the Implementing Decision. Thirdly, two undertakings that received individual reference values merged into one single undertaking prior to the adoption of that Implementing Decision; thus only that single undertaking should remain in the Implementing Decision and their reference value should be adapted pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/573. Finally, one undertaking should have received a reference value and should thus be added in the Implementing Decision.

(3)
Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2767 applies from 1 January 2025. The corrections introduced with this Decision should therefore apply from the same date.

(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of committee on fluorinated greenhouse gases established by Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2024/573,
