\nLegal Act Reviews<\/title> \n<\/head><\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1144<\/h5>\nThis regulation is all about modernizing the export of cultural goods by going digital! It introduces the ‘ECG system,’ an electronic platform for managing export licenses, replacing the old paper system. There are three types of licenses: standard, specific open, and general open, with specific conditions for each. All applications must go through the ECG system. The Commission and Member States jointly handle data protection within the system, and the ECG system must be up and running by October 2, 2031.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1150<\/h5>\nThis regulation renews the authorization of neohesperidine dihydrochalcone as a feed additive, classifying it as a ‘flavoring compound’ under ‘sensory additives.’ It sets specific conditions, including maximum content levels and safety measures, and repeals the previous regulation. Products produced and labeled under the old rules can still be used for a while.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1158<\/h5>\nThis is a straightforward name change! It amends a previous regulation to update the authorization holder for conjugated linoleic acid (t10, c12)-methylester from BASF SE to Louis Dreyfus Company Ingredients GmbH. Existing stocks can still be used up.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1159<\/h5>\nThis regulation updates the details for a biocidal product family, ‘Diversey Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family,’ by adding manufacturer sites and changing the address of the authorization holder and manufacturer. The updated information is crucial for product traceability.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1154<\/h5>\nThis regulation removes three active substances\u2014methoxyfenozide, penthiopyrad, and terpenoid blend QRD 460\u2014from the approved list for plant protection products. These substances can no longer be used in EU plant protection products.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1151<\/h5>\nThis regulation renews the authorization of inositol as a feed additive for various fish and crustacean species. It sets updated conditions for its use, including labeling requirements, and allows for the continued use of products produced under the old rules for a limited time.<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1146<\/h5>\nThis regulation renews the authorization for specific preparations of *Lactiplantibacillus plantarum* and *Lentilactobacillus buchneri* as silage additives for all animal species. It is also very important to pay attention to the conditions of use listed in the Annex:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> The directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions shall be indicated.<\/li>\n<li> The additive shall only be used in easy to ensile fresh material.<\/li>\n<li> Minimum dose of the additive when it is not used in combination with other micro-organisms and\/or enzymes as silage additives.<\/li>\n<li> For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal skin, eye and breathing protective equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1148<\/h5>\nThis regulation renews the authorization of beta-carotene as a feed additive for all animal species, with specific conditions for calves (milk replacers). Feed business operators must establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from the use of beta-carotene, and personal protective equipment should be used. It also specifies a maximum content level of 50 mg\/kg for calves (milk replacers).<\/p>\n<h5>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1192<\/h5>\nThis regulation updates the restricted zones for African swine fever (ASF) in several EU Member States, which were updated to reflect the spread of ASF. Anyone involved in moving pigs or pig products needs to check the updated annex for the latest zone classifications.<\/p>\n<h5>Council Regulation (EU) 2026\/1181<\/h5>\nThis regulation suspends Common Customs Tariff duties on certain nitrogen-based fertilizers to ensure supply and lower costs. However, this does not apply to imports from Russia and Belarus for certain CN codes. Businesses need to be aware of quota limits for each CN code.<\/p>\n<h3>Review of each of legal acts published today:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/AUTO\/?uri=CELEX:32026R1144\"><\/p>\n<h3>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1144 of 28\u00a0May 2026 laying down provisions on electronic licences for the export of cultural goods under Council Regulation (EC) No\u00a0116\/2009 and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No\u00a01081\/2012<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a description of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1144, which establishes provisions for electronic licenses for the export of cultural goods, replacing the previous paper-based system.

It also mandates the opening of new quota order numbers as listed in the Annex. \n* **Article 2** mandates that the Commission and Member States manage the import volume quotas according to the tariff quota management system outlined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015\/2447. \n* **Article 3** requires the Commission to monitor the fertiliser market and propose extensions or modifications to the suspension or its application period if necessary. \n* **Article 4** specifies the regulation’s entry into force and its period of application, which is until 31 May 2027.<\/p>\nThe Annex lists the specific CN codes, the volume of the tariff quota in metric tonnes for each code, and the corresponding order number.<\/p>\n**Main Provisions for Practical Use:**<\/p>\n* **Duty Suspension:** The most important aspect is the temporary suspension of customs duties for the specified fertilisers, which can significantly reduce import costs. \n* **Quota Limits:** Businesses need to be aware of the quota volumes for each CN code, as the suspension only applies up to these limits. \n* **Exclusion of Russia and Belarus:** Imports from Russia and Belarus are largely excluded from the duty suspension, so importers need to ensure their supply chains do not originate from these countries. \n* **Monitoring by the Commission:** The Commission’s ongoing monitoring means the regulation could be extended or modified, so stakeholders should stay informed of any updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legal Act Reviews Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1144 This regulation is all about modernizing the export of cultural goods by going digital!
