COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/891

of 13 March 2017

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors and supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to penalties to be applied in those sectors and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 37(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vi), (b), (c), (d)(i), (iii) to (vi), (viii), (x), (xi) and (xii) and (e)(i), Article 173(1)(b), (c), (d) and (f) to (j), Article 181(2), Article 223(2)(a) and Article 231(1) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (2), and in particular Articles 62(1) and 64(6)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (3) and lays down new rules concerning the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. It also empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. Those acts should replace the corresponding provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (4).

 

(2)

In order to strengthen the bargaining power of fruit and vegetables producers and to foster a fairer distribution of added value along the supply chain, the recognition of producer organisations and their associations should be encouraged. This has to be achieved while respecting national legal and administrative structures.

 

(3)

Provisions for the recognition of producer organisations in respect of the products they request should be laid down. Where the recognition is requested for products intended solely for processing, it should be ensured that they are indeed delivered for processing. Producer organisations should have at their disposal the structures necessary to ensure their functioning. Moreover, to implement an operational programme, producer organisations should be required to achieve a minimum value of marketed production, which should be laid down by the Member State in order to ensure efficiency of the support received and thereby help strengthen the bargaining power of the fruit and vegetable producers.

 

(4)

In order to help achieve the goals of the fruit and vegetables regime and to ensure that producer organisations carry out their work in a sustainable and effective way, there needs to be stability within producer organisations. Membership of producer organisation should therefore be for a minimum period. It should be left to Member States to lay down the notice periods and the dates on which resignation from membership can take effect.

 

(5)

Where a producer organisation is recognised for a product for which the provision of technical means is required, it should be allowed to provide those means through its members, through subsidiaries, through an association of producer organisations of which it is a member or by outsourcing.

 

(6)

The main and essential activities of a producer organisation should relate to the...
