General context
Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council provides for a legal and financial framework governing the distribution of selected agricultural products to children in schools through the School Milk Scheme (SMS) and the School Fruit Scheme (SFS).
Council Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013, adopted on the basis of Article 43(3) of the TFEU, fixes the amount of Union aid under the SFS and the SMS as provided for by the Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, and provides for the measures on the aid to be allocated to Member States in the case of the SFS and for the maximum quantity of products eligible for aid in the case of the SMS.
This proposal is presented in conjunction with the proposal of the Commission to amend the Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 in respect of the provisions pertaining to the school schemes. The proposal provides for a new framework for the support of distribution of fruit and vegetables, bananas and milk to children in educational establishments, including the provisions on the amount of the Union aid, and how aid should be allocated within Member States.
