COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 639/2009
of 22 July 2009
laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards specific support
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 68(7), Article 69(6), first subparagraph, point (a), Article 69(7), fourth subparagraph, Article 71(6), second subparagraph, Article 71(10) and Article 142(c) and (q) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Chapter 5 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides for specific support to be granted to farmer. Detailed rules for the implementation of that Chapter should be laid down. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 68(6) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, consistency between specific support granted under that Article and other Community support measures or measures financed by state aids is required. For orderly management of the schemes, similar measures should not be financed twice under both specific support and other Community support schemes. Due to the diversity of choices offered for implementing the specific support, the responsibility of ensuring the consistency should otherwise be left to the Member States according to the decision they take to implement specific support measures, within the framework laid down by Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 and in conformity with the conditions laid down in this Regulation. |
(3) |
Articles 71(10) and 140 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provide for the Member States to inform the Commission in detail of the measures taken to implement in particular Articles 68 to 72 of that Regulation. Therefore, provision should be made to specify the timing and content of such communications so that the Commission may monitor their implementation. |
(4) |
Since farmers should always respect legal requirements, specific support should not compensate for complying with them. |
(5) |
Pursuant to Article 68(1)(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, specific support may be granted for specific types of farming which are important for the protection or enhancement of the environment. In order to maintain discretion for Member States whilst ensuring that measures are well-managed, the responsibility of defining the specific types of farming should be assigned to the Member States, whilst the measures should nevertheless provide for non-negligible and measurable environmental benefits. |
(6) |
Pursuant to Article 68(1)(a)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, specific support may be granted for improving the quality of agricultural products. In order to assist Member States, an indicative list of conditions to be met should be laid down. |
(7) |
Pursuant to Article 68(1)(a)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, specific support may be granted for improving the marketing of agricultural products subject to Article 68(2)(c) of that Regulation which requires the support to satisfy the criteria laid down in Articles 2 to 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 of 17 December 2007 on information provision and promotion measures for agricultural products on the internal market and in third countries (2). Provision should be made to specify the content of the eligible measures as well as the applicable provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 501/2008 of 5 June 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No... |
