Recital 23
(23) After the introduction of an invasive alien species, early detection and rapid eradication measures are crucial to prevent their establishment and spread. The most effective and cost efficient response is often to eradicate the population, as soon as possible while the number of specimens is still limited. In the event that eradication is not feasible or the costs of eradication outweigh in the long term the environmental, economic and social benefits, containment and control measures should be applied. These containment and control measures, in the case of animal species, should use exclusively non-lethal methods.

Recital 24
(24) Eradicating and managing some invasive alien species, while necessary, may induce pain, distress, fear or other forms of suffering to the animals even when using the best available technical means. For that reason, Member States and any operator involved in the eradication, control or containment of invasive alien species should take the necessary measures to minimise pain, distress and suffering of animals during the process, taking into account in so far as possible the best practices in the field, for example the Guiding Principles on Animal Welfare developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). In any case, non-lethal methods must be used for animal species.

(7a) Reliable information on CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency of ships is needed in order to implement a pricing system of these emissions at a later stage. Therefore, in the event that no international agreement which includes international maritime emissions in its reduction targets through the International Maritime Organisation has been approved by Member States or no such agreement through the UNFCCC has been approved by the Union after three years from the first publication of information set out in Article 21, the Commission should make a proposal to implement a pricing system of international maritime emissions.

(12) In order to minimise the administrative burden for ship owners and operators, in particular for small and medium sized enterprises, and to optimise the benefits-costs-ratio of the MRV system without jeopardising the objective to cover a widely predominant share of greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transportensure coherence of the Union MRV system with Annex VI of MARPOL, the rules for MRV should only apply to large emittersships above 400 GT. A threshold of 50400 gross tonnage (GT) has been selected at international level after detailed objective analysis of sizes and emissions of ships going to and coming from Union ports. Ships above 5000 GT account for around 55% of the number of s. Thips calling into Union ports and represent around 90% of the related emissions. This non-discriminatory threshold would ensure that that the most relevant emitters are covered. A lower threshold would result in higher administrative burden while a higher threshold would limit the coverage of emissions and thus the environmental effectiveness of the systemnon- discriminatory threshold would ensure a level playing field at international level.

After this transitional period, ship owners should be given the opportunity to select one out of the following two monitoring methods: flow meters for applicable combustion processes or direct emission measurements. A ship specific monitoring plan should document the choice made and provide further details on the application of the selected method.

(18) Verification by accredited verifiers should ensure that monitoring plans and emission reports are correct and in compliance with the requirements defined by this Regulation. Therefore, competence requirements are essential for a verifier to be able to perform the verification activities under the Regulation. As an important element to simplify verification, verifiers should check data credibility by comparing reported data with estimated data based on ship tracking data and characteristics. Such estimates could be provided by the Commission. Verifiers should be independent and competent persons or legal entities and should be accredited by national accreditation bodies established pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/9319. __________________ 19 OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30.

(36) In the context of the Convention on Biological Diversity to which the Union is a party, the Union has committed to maintainThe Union is a party to both the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Convention on Biological Diversity and has in the context of these committed to the conservation and sustainable use of the genetic diversity of cultivated plants, and of wild relatives, and to minimise genetic erosion. That commitment complements the objective of the Union to halt biodiversity loss by 2020. In that context, certain varieties should be allowed to be produced and made available on the market even if they do not comply with the requirements concerning distinctiveness, uniformity or stability, to ensure their conservation and sustainable use and thus contribute to the sustainability of agriculture and the adaptation to climate change. Therefore, those varieties should only be registered on the basis of an officially recognised description.

(19) Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 provides that the competent authority is to issue a passport for each animal which has to be identified in accordance with that Regulation. This causes a considerable administrative burden for the Member States. The computerised databases established by Member States sufficiently ensure traceability of domestic movements of bovine animals. Passports should therefore be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade. Once the data exchange between national computerised databases is operational, the requirement of issuing such passports should no longer apply for animals intended for intra-Union trade. In all cases, the current passport, whether the current paper version or the future electronic version, should include the gene mapping of the sample used for reference, to be carried out when the EID is registered or introduced.

(15) A limited number of categories of food constitutes the sole source of nourishment of certain groups of the population or represent a partial source of nourishment; such categories of food are vital for the management of certain conditions and/or are essential to maintain the intended nutritional adequacy for certain well-established vulnerable groups of the population. Those categories of food include infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten. Experience has shown that the provisions laid down in Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC, as well as Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 ensure the free movement of such food in a satisfactory manner, while ensuring a high level of protection of public health. It is therefore appropriate that this Regulation focuses on the general compositional and information requirements for infant formula and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food for infants and young children and to food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC and Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009.

Given the fact that the adoption of the list implies the application of criteria set out in this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in that respect. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers.

Such food for specialized nutrition intended for people intolerant to gluten shall be maintained in this Regulation, as providing such safe food intended for people intolerant to gluten and informing coeliacs about the absence of gluten is vital to the management of the disease. This is in line with the international standard for food for special dietary use for persons intolerant to gluten (CODEX STAN 118-1979 revised in 2008).
