Section 3U.K.Administrative penalties

Article 59U.K.Non-respect of recognition criteria

1.If [F1the Secretary of State] has established that a producer organisation fails to respect one of the recognition criteria linked to the requirements of Articles 5 and 7, Article 11(1) and (2) and Article 17, [F2the Secretary of State] shall send to the producer organisation in question no later than two months after the failure has been identified, by registered delivery, a warning letter stating the failure identified, the corrective measures required and the time periods within which these measures have to be taken, which shall not exceed four months. As from the moment a failure is established, [F3the appropriate authority] shall suspend payments of aid until the corrective measures are taken to [F4the Secretary of State's] satisfaction.

2.A failure to take the corrective measures referred to in paragraph 1 within the time period fixed by the [F5Secretary of State] shall lead to the suspension of the recognition of the producer organisation. The [F5Secretary of State] shall notify the producer organisation of the period of suspension, which shall start immediately after the expiry of the time period fixed for taking those corrective measures and shall not exceed 12 months from the date of the receipt of the warning letter by the producer organisation. This is without prejudice to the application of F6... legislation which may provide for the suspension of such an action following the commencement of connected legal proceedings.

During the suspension of the recognition, the producer organisation may continue its activity, but aid payments shall be withheld until the suspension of the recognition is lifted. The yearly aid amount shall be reduced by 2 % for each calendar month or part thereof during which recognition is suspended.

The suspension shall end on the day of the check which confirms that the recognition criteria in question have been fulfilled.

3.If the criteria are not fulfilled by the end of the period of suspension set by the [F7Secretary of State], the [F8Secretary of State] shall withdraw the recognition with effect from the date from which the conditions for recognition were not fulfilled, or, if it is not possible to identify that date, from the date when the failure was established. This is without prejudice to the application of F9... legislation which may provide for the suspension of recognition following the commencement of connected legal proceedings. Outstanding aid concerning the period during which the failure has been identified shall not be paid and unduly paid aid shall be recovered.

4.If [F10the Secretary of State] has established that a producer organisation fails to respect any of the recognition criteria laid down in Article 154 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 other than those mentioned in paragraph 1, [F11the Secretary of State] shall send to the producer organisation in question, no later than two months after the failure has been established, by registered delivery, a warning letter stating the failure identified, the corrective measures required and the time periods within which these measures have to be taken, which shall not exceed four months.

5.A failure to take the corrective measures referred to in paragraph 4 within the time period fixed by the [F12Secretary of State] shall lead to a suspension of payments and a reduction of the yearly aid amount by 1 % for each calendar month, or part thereof, following the expiry of that time period. This is without prejudice to the application of F13... legislation which may provide for the suspension of such an action following the commencement of connected legal proceedings.

6.[F14 The Secretary of State] shall withdraw recognition if the producer organisation does not prove compliance with the minimum volume or value of marketed production criteria as required by Article 154(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 by 15 October of the second year following the year in which those criteria were not complied with. Withdrawal shall take effect from the date from which the conditions for recognition were not fulfilled, or, if it is not possible to identify that date, from the date when the failure was established. Outstanding aid concerning the period during which the failure has been identified shall not be paid and unduly paid aid shall be recovered.

However, when a producer organisation delivers to the [F15Secretary of State] proof that due to natural disasters, adverse climatic events, diseases or pest infestations, despite having undertaken the risk prevention measures it is not able to respect the recognition criteria laid down in Article 154(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 in respect of the minimum volume or value of marketable production laid down by [F16the Secretary of State] , the [F15Secretary of State] may, for the year in question, derogate from the minimum volume or value of marketable production for this producer organisation.

7.In cases where paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 apply, [F17the appropriate authorities] may make payments after the deadline set out in Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892. However, these payments shall not be made later than 15 October of the second year following the year of implementation of the programme.

8.Paragraphs 1 to 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis in cases of failure by a producer organisation to provide the [F18appropriate authority] with the information required under Article 21 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892.

Textual Amendments

Article 60U.K.Fraud

1.[F19The appropriate authority] shall suspend payments to and [F20the Secretary of State shall suspend] the recognition of a producer organisation or an association of producer organisations, which are under investigation by a [F21public authority within the United Kingdom] in connection with a charge of fraud in respect of aid covered by Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, until the charge has been determined.

2.Where a producer organisation or an association of producer organisations has committed fraud in respect of aid covered by Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, [F22the responsible authority] shall, without prejudice to any other penalties applicable [F23in law]:

(a)withdraw the recognition of that organisation or association;

(b)exclude the actions concerned from support under the operational programme concerned and recover any aid already paid with respect to those actions; and

(c)exclude that organisation or association from recognition during the following year.

[F24In this paragraph, the ‘responsible authority’ is the appropriate authority for the constituent nation in which the producer organisation has its head office [F25in point (b), and the Secretary of State in points (a) and (c)].]

Textual Amendments

3.If the amount established pursuant to paragraph 2(a) exceeds the amount established pursuant to paragraph 2(b) by more than 3 %, a penalty shall be applied. The amount of the penalty shall be the difference between the amounts calculated pursuant to paragraph 2(a) and (b). However, no penalty shall be applied if the producer organisation is able to demonstrate that it is not responsible for the inclusion of the ineligible amount.

4.Paragraphs 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to ineligible expenditure identified during on-the-spot or subsequent checks.

5.If the value of marketed production is declared and checked before the application for aid, the declared and approved values shall be used when establishing the amounts pursuant to paragraph 2(a) and (b), respectively.

6.Where at the end of the operational programme, the conditions referred to in Article 33(5)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 have not been complied with, the total amount of support for the last year of the operational programme shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of expenditure not incurred on environmental actions.
