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 OJ L 358, 31.12.2002, p. 28. , 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.
