COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1189 of 8 July 2019 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 implementing te Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds 

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for international trade in rough diamonds, and in particular Article 19(6) and Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:

(1) Following a provisional acceptance at the Brisbane Plenary meeting in December 2017, Kimberley Process Participants approved the addition of the Republic of Gabon to the list of participants in that process at the Brussels Plenary meeting in November 2018.

(2) The addresses of the competent authorities of several Participants in the Kimberley Process in Annex II and the addresses of Member States' competent authorities in Annex III require an update.

(3) Following the request for designation of an EU authority pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 by Ireland, the Commission visited the EU authority designated by Ireland to verify its preparedness to assume the duties referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. The preparations undertaken and the procedures envisaged by the EU authority designated by Ireland suggest that it will be able to reliably, timely, effectively and adequately fulfil the tasks required by Chapters II, III and V of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. It is necessary to provide a realistic timeframe for Ireland to implement the necessary changes.

(4) By virtue of the adoption of the Administrative Decision ‘Compilation of Modifications to Technical definitions’ by Kimberley Process Participants at the Brussels Plenary in November 2018, the term ‘country of origin’ should be replaced by the term ‘country of mining origin’ in Kimberley Process Certificates.

(5) In order to reflect the replacement of the term ‘country of origin’ by the term ‘country of mining origin’, in the European Union certificate as defined in Article 2(g) of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002, Annex IV to that Regulation should be amended accordingly. It is necessary to provide a realistic timeframe for the competent authorities of the Union to adapt to this change taking into account the time needed to ensure the availability of the new certificates.

(6) Annexes II, III, and IV to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee referred to in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 
Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 is amended as follows:

((1)) Annex II is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
((2)) Annex III is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
((3)) Annex IV is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Regulation.
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, point 3 of Article 1 shall apply from 1 January 2020.
As far as Ireland is concerned, Annex III shall apply from 1 September 2019.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.Done at Brussels, 8 July 2019.
For the Commission

ANNEX III

'
ANNEX IV Community certificate as referred to in Article 2 

In accordance with the changes enacted by the Treaty of Lisbon, whereby the European Union replaced and succeeded the European Community, the term “EU certificate” shall refer to the Community certificate as defined in Article 2(g) of this Regulation.

The EU Certificate shall have the following features: Member States shall ensure that the Certificates they issue shall be identical. To this end they shall submit to the Commission specimens of the Certificates to be issued.

Member States shall be responsible for having the EU Certificates printed. The EU Certificates may be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which they are established. In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the Member State must appear on each EU Certificate. Each EU Certificate shall bear an indication of the printer's name and address or a mark enabling the printer to be identified. The printer shall be a High Security Banknote Printer. The printer shall provide suitable references from governmental and commercial customers.

The European Commission shall make specimens of original EU Certificates available to EU authorities.
Materials 


— Dimensions: A4 (210 mm × 297 mm);

— Solvent sensitive;
— UV dull (features in the document stand out clearly when highlighted under a Ultra-violet lamp);
— 95 g/m2 paper.
Printing 


— Rainbow background tint (solvent sensitive);
— The “rainbow” effect has a security background that will not visualise when photocopied.
— The inks used must be “solvent sensitive” to protect the document against attack from chemicals used to alter infilled text, such as bleach.
— 1 Colour background tint (permanent and light fast);
— Ensure that a secondary “Rainbow” is printed to prevent the Certificates from exposure to sunlight.
— UV invisible working (stars of the EU Flag);
— The security printer should apply the correct weight of ink to ensure that the UV feature is invisible in normal light.
— EU Flag: Printed gold and European blue;
— Intaglio Border;
— Tactile Intaglio ink is one of the most important features in the document.
— Extra Small Print line reading “Kimberley Process Certificate”;
— Latent image: KP;
— Micro-text reading “KPCS”;
— The document design must incorporate anticopy (“Medallion”) features into the background fine-line printing.
Numbering 


— Each EU Certificate shall have a unique serial number, preceded by the code: EU.
— The Commission shall attribute the serial numbers to the Member States that intend to issue EU Certificates.
— There should be two types of matching numbering — visible and invisible:
— First = 8 digit sequential, once on all parts of the document, printed black
— The printer shall hold all responsibility for numbering every Certificate.
— The printer shall also keep a database of all numbering.
— Second = 8 digit sequential invisible printed numbering (matching above), fluorescing under UV light.
