COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/892

of 13 March 2017

laying down rules for the application of 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

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 38, Article 174(1)(d), Article 181(3), and Article 182(1) and (4) 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 Article 58(4)(a), Article 62(2)(a) to (d) and (h) and Article 64(7)(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 some of the provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (4). That Regulation is amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 (5).

 

(2)

In order to optimise the allocation of financial resources and to improve the quality of the strategy, provisions should be laid down establishing the structure and content of the national strategy for sustainable operational programmes and the national framework for environmental actions. The environmental actions that may be included in that national framework and the requirements to be complied with should be established to facilitate the drafting and implementation of those actions.

 

(3)

Furthermore, rules should be provided regarding the content of the operational programmes, the documents to be submitted, time limits for submission and implementation periods of operational programmes.

 

(4)

To ensure the correct application of the aid scheme for producer organisations, provisions on information to be included in the applications for aid as well as procedures for the payment of aid should be laid down. To prevent cash-flow difficulties, a system of advance payments accompanied by appropriate securities should be made available to producer organisations. For similar reasons, an alternative system should be available for the reimbursement of expenditure already incurred.

 

(5)

As the production of fruit and vegetables is unpredictable and the products are perishable, the surplus on the market, even if it is not too great, can significantly disturb the market. Therefore, implementing rules relating to crisis prevention and management measures need to be laid down.

 

(6)

Detailed rules concerning the national financial assistance which Member States may grant in regions of the Union where the degree of organisation of producers is particularly low should be laid down. Procedures should be provided for the approval of such national financial assistance as well as for the approval and the amount of the reimbursement by the Union. In addition, the proportion of reimbursement should be laid down.

 

(7)

Provisions concerning the type and format of certain information to be provided for the application of Regulation (EU)...
