Review of each of legal acts published today:
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/56 of 23 October 2025 amending Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 as regards certificate of airworthiness and restricted certificate of airworthiness
This is a Commission Delegated Regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 regarding certificates of airworthiness and restricted certificates of airworthiness. The main goal is to simplify and harmonize the rules for issuing these certificates, aligning them with the risks associated with different aircraft categories and operations. The regulation also aims to enhance the free movement of aircraft within the EU by streamlining the process for issuing airworthiness certificates when aircraft are transferred between Member States.
The regulation amends Annex I (Part 21) and Annex Ib (Part 21 Light) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. These amendments include changes to application requirements for certificates of airworthiness, particularly for used aircraft. The amendments also address situations where a statement reflecting the airworthiness status of an aircraft is unavailable, introducing an alternative mechanism based on investigation and evaluation activities. The regulation also modifies the provisions regarding the transferability of airworthiness certificates.
The most important provisions of this regulation relate to the application requirements for airworthiness certificates, especially for used aircraft. The regulation introduces a derogation allowing applications to be made without an airworthiness status statement in exceptional cases, provided certain conditions are met, including the development and execution of an evaluation program. This program requires comprehensive investigations by an approved organization or the competent authority to ensure the aircraft meets applicable airworthiness standards. The regulation also clarifies that airworthiness and airworthiness review certificates are transferred together with the aircraft, provided it remains on the same register.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/136 of 8 October 2025 correcting the Swedish language version of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302 supplementing Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the application of position limits to commodity derivatives and procedures for applying for exemption from position limits
This Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/136 addresses an error found in the Swedish language version of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302. The error pertains to an incorrect reference within Article 9(1) concerning a derogation related to position limits for commodity derivatives. This correction is necessary to maintain the accuracy and consistency of the legal text across all language versions. The regulation aims to rectify this specific error in the Swedish version, ensuring the correct application of the rules regarding position limits.
The structure of the act is very simple. It contains a preamble outlining the issue and the legal basis for the correction. Article 1 states that it does not concern the English language (meaning that it only contains correction to the Swedish version). Article 2 specifies the date of entry into force, which is the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The regulation directly amends the Swedish language version of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302, specifically targeting the incorrect reference in Article 9(1). There are no changes compared to previous versions except for the correction of the mentioned error in the Swedish version.
The most important provision is the correction itself, as it ensures the Swedish language version of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1302 accurately reflects the intended legal meaning concerning exemptions from position limits for commodity derivatives.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/100 of 15 January 2026 amending Regulations (EU) No 748/2012 and (EU) No 1321/2014 as regards the airworthiness review process, the airworthiness certificate and occurrence reporting, and correcting Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014
This is a description of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/100, which amends Regulations (EU) No 748/2012 and (EU) No 1321/2014.

The most important provisions relate to the airworthiness review process and the issuance of airworthiness certificates. The regulation introduces changes to the requirements for airworthiness reviews, particularly regarding when a recommendation to the national competent authority is needed. It also facilitates the issuance of airworthiness certificates when aircraft are transferred between Member States. The regulation emphasizes the exchange of information between national competent authorities, especially when significant non-compliance is detected. Furthermore, it aligns occurrence-reporting systems with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/108 of 16 January 2026 concerning the authorisation of ponceau 4R as a feed additive for its use in baits for freshwater food-producing finfish
This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/108 authorises the use of ponceau 4R as a sensory feed additive for colouring fishing baits intended for freshwater food-producing finfish. The regulation specifies that ponceau 4R falls under the category of ‘sensory additives’ and the functional group of ‘colourants’ used to add or restore colour in feedingstuffs. It emphasizes that the additive is strictly for use in fishing baits to attract fish in freshwater and is not intended for aquaculture.
The regulation consists of two articles and an annex. Article 1 sanctions the use of ponceau 4R as a feed additive under the conditions outlined in the annex. Article 2 states that the regulation will take effect twenty days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The annex specifies the identification number, name, composition, analytical method, target animal species, and maximum content of ponceau 4R in complementary feed. It also includes other provisions, such as the requirement for storage conditions and heat treatment stability to be indicated in the directions for use, the restriction of its use to fishing baits only, and the need for feed business operators to establish procedures to mitigate potential risks, including the use of personal protective equipment.
The most important provisions of this regulation are the specific conditions for the use of ponceau 4R. It is limited to fishing baits for freshwater food-producing finfish and must not be used in aquaculture feed. Additionally, the regulation mandates that users of the additive and premixtures implement operational procedures and organizational measures to manage potential risks, including the use of personal protective equipment where risks cannot be eliminated otherwise. The regulation also sets a maximum content of 15 mg of active substance per kg of complementary feed with a 12% moisture content and specifies the end of the authorization period as February 8, 2036.
