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) No 1308/2103, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 and this Regulation should be laid down. Those provisions should cover information from producers and producer organisations to the Member States and from the Member States to the Commission.
(8) Provisions should be laid down as regards the administrative and the on-the spot checks necessary to ensure the proper application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(9) For the purposes of Article 59(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, rules on the correction of obvious errors in aid applications, notifications, claims or requests need to be laid down.
(10) Rules should be laid down concerning financial contributions from producers who do not belong to producer organisations, associations of producer organisations or inter-branch organisations for which rules are made binding that are agreed within organisations or associations that are considered to be representative in a specific economic area.
(11) Standard import values should be calculated on the basis of the weighted average of the average representative prices of imported products sold on Member State's import markets, using the data on these prices and on imported quantities of the products concerned notified by Member States to the Commission pursuant to Article 74 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891. Provisions should be laid down concerning cases in which no average representative prices are available for products of a given origin.
(12) Detailed rules concerning the import duty which can be imposed on certain products in addition to that provided for in the Common Customs Tariff should be laid down. Provision should be made that additional import duty may be imposed if import volumes of the products concerned exceed trigger levels determined for the product and the period of application. Goods en route to the Union are exempt from the additional import duty and, therefore, specific provisions for such goods should be adopted.
(13) This Regulation should enter into force on and apply from the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
1.This Regulation lays down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors, with the exception of marketing standards.
2.Chapters I to V shall only apply to products of the fruit and vegetables sector as referred to in Article 1(2)(i) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and to such products intended solely for processing.
The structure and content of the national strategy referred to in Article 36(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall be as set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
1.A separate section of the national framework referred to in Article 36(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, shall indicate the requirements laid down in Article 28 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(6) to be fulfilled by the environmental actions selected under an operational programme.
The national framework shall set out a non-exhaustive list of environmental actions and the conditions thereof applicable in the Member State for the purposes of Article 33(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
The list referred to in the second subparagraph may include the following types of environmental actions:
(a)actions that are identical to agri-environment-climate or organic farming commitments as referred to in Articles 28 and 29 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, respectively, and which are provided for under the rural development programme of the Member State concerned;
(b)investments beneficial for the environment;
(c)other actions beneficial for the environment, including those which do not relate directly or indirectly to a particular parcel but that are linked to the fruit and vegetables sector, provided they contribute to soil protection, water or energy saving, improvement or maintenance of water quality, habitats or biodiversity protection, climate change mitigation and reduction or improved management of waste.
For each environmental action referred to in points (b) and (c) of the third subparagraph, the national framework shall indicate:
(a)the justification of the action, on the basis of its environmental impact; and
(b)the specific commitment(s) entailed.
The national framework shall include at least one action on the application of integrated pest management practices.
2.Environmental actions which are identical to agri-environmental-climate or organic farming commitments supported under a rural development programme shall have the same duration as those commitments. Where the duration of the action exceeds the duration of the initial operational programme, the action shall be continued in a subsequent operational programme.
Member States may authorise shorter durations for environmental actions or even their discontinuance in duly justified cases, and in particular taking into account the results of the evaluation in the last but one year of the implementation of the operational programme referred to in Article 57(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891.
3.Investments beneficial for environment made at the premises of producer organisations, associations of producer organisations or subsidiaries complying with the 90 % requirement referred to in Article 22(8) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, or at the premises of their producer members shall be eligible for support if they:
(a)could achieve a reduction in the current use of production inputs, emission of pollutants or waste from the production process; or
(b)could achieve replacement of the use of fossil energy sources with renewable energy sources; or
(c)could achieve a reduction in the environmental risks linked to the use of certain production inputs, including plant protection products or fertilisers; or
(d)lead to improvement of the environment; or
(e)are linked to non-productive investments needed to achieve the objectives of an agri-environmental-climate or organic farming commitment, in particular where those objectives relate to the protection of habitats and biodiversity.
4.Investments referred to in point (a) of paragraph 3 shall be eligible for support if they provide for a reduction of at least 15 %, calculated over the fiscal depreciation period of the investment compared to the pre-existing situation, of:
(a)the use of production inputs that are non-renewable natural resources, such as water or fossil fuel, or possible source of environmental pollution, such as fertilisers, plant protection products or certain types of energy sources;
(b)the emission of air, soil or water pollutants from the production process; or
(c)the production of waste, including waste water, from the production process.
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, Member States may accept investments that allow for a reduction of at least 7 %, calculated over the fiscal depreciation period of the investment compared to the pre-existing situation, provided that those investments allow for at least one additional environmental benefit.
The expected reduction and, where applicable, the expected additional environmental benefit, shall be demonstrated ex ante through project specifications or other technical documents to be presented by the producer organisation or association of producer organisations at the moment of the submission of the proposed operational programme or of the amendment of such a programme for approval, showing the results that could be obtained through the implementation of the investment, as attested by the technical documents or by an independent qualified body or expert agreed by the Member State.
Investments aimed to achieve a reduction in water use shall:
(a)provide for a reduction of at least 5 % in water use in drip irrigation or similar systems compared to the consumption prior to the investment; and
(b)not result in a net increase of the area under irrigation, unless the total water consumption for irrigation of the whole farm, including the increased area, does not exceed the average of water consumption of the previous 5 years prior to the investment.
5.Investments referred to in point (b) of paragraph 3 consisting of systems which generate energy shall be eligible for support if the amount of energy generated does not exceed the amount that can be used ex ante on a yearly basis for the actions related to fruit and vegetables by the producer organisation, association of producer organisations, subsidiary or the producer organisation's members that benefit from the investment.
6.Investments referred to in points (c) and (d) of paragraph 3 shall be eligible for support where they contribute to soil protection, water or energy saving, improvement or maintenance of water quality, habitats or biodiversity protection, climate change mitigation, and reduction or improved management of waste, although their contribution is not quantifiable.
The producer organisation or association of producer organisations shall provide evidence of the expected positive contribution to one or more environmental objectives at the moment of the submission for approval of the proposed operational programme or amendment of such a programme. The national competent authority may require that evidence to be provided in the form of project specifications attested by an independent qualified body or expert in the environmental fields concerned.
7.The following rules shall apply to environmental actions:
(a)various environmental actions may be combined provided that they are complementary and compatible. Where environmental actions other than investments in physical assets are combined, the level of support shall take account of the specific income foregone and additional costs resulting from the combination;
(b)commitments to limit the use of fertilisers, plant protection products or other inputs shall be accepted only if such limitations can be assessed in a way that provides assurance about compliance with those commitments;
(c)investments beneficial for the environment referred to in paragraph 3 shall be fully eligible for support.
1.Operational programmes shall include the following:
[F1(a) a description of the initial situation, based, where relevant, on the indicators listed in Table 4.1 of Annex II;]
(b)the objectives of the programme, taking into account the outlook for production and outlets, with an explanation of how the programme intends to contribute to and is consistent with the objectives of the national strategy, including the balance between activities. The description of the objectives shall indicate measurable targets, so as to facilitate the monitoring of progress gradually made in implementing the programme;
(c)the proposed measures, including the actions for crisis prevention and management;
(d)the duration of the programme; and
(e)the financial aspects, in particular:
the method of calculation and the level of financial contributions;
the procedure for financing the operational fund;
information necessary to justify different levels of contribution; and
the budget and timetable for operations for each implementation year of the programme.
2.Operational programmes shall indicate:
(a)the extent to which the different measures complement and are consistent with other measures, including measures financed or eligible for support by other Union funds, and in particular under Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and promotion programmes approved under Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(7). If applicable, specific reference shall also be made to measures carried out under previous operational programmes; and
(b)that they do not entail any risk of double financing by Union funds.

1.Prior to granting recognition to a producer organisation or association of producer organisations under Article 154(4)(a) or Article 156(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, Member States shall carry out administrative and an on-the-spot checks on the producer organisation or association of producer organisations to verify compliance with the recognition criteria.
2.Member States shall carry out administrative and on-the-spot checks with regard to the recognition criteria which apply to all recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations at least once every five years even if the producer organisations or the associations of producer organisations do not implement an operational programme.
1.Prior to the approval of an operational programme under Article 33 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, Member States shall verify, by all the appropriate means, including through on-the-spot checks, the operational programme submitted for approval and the request for amendment, where applicable. Those checks shall in particular concern:
(a)the accuracy of the information referred to in Article 4(1)(a), (b) and (e), which shall be included in the draft operational programme;
(b)compliance of the programme with Article 33 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as well as with the national strategy and the national framework;
(c)the eligibility of the actions and the eligibility of the expenditure proposed; and
(d)the consistency and technical quality of the programme, the soundness of the estimates and the aid plan, and the planning of its implementation.
2.The checks referred to in paragraph 1 shall verify whether:
(a)targets are measurable and can be monitored and achieved through the proposed actions; and
(b)the operations for which aid is requested are in compliance with the applicable national and Union laws in particular, State aid, rural development and promotion programmes, and obligatory standards established by national legislation or the national strategy.
1.The procedures relating to the administrative checks shall require the recording of operations undertaken, the results of the verification and the measures taken in respect of discrepancies.
2.Prior to granting the aid, Member States shall carry out administrative checks on all aid applications.
3.Administrative checks on aid applications shall include, where applicable, a verification of:
(a)the annual report on the execution of the operational programme transmitted together with the aid application;
(b)the value of marketed production, the contributions to the operational fund and the expenditure incurred;
(c)the accurate correlation of expenditure claimed with products and services delivered;
(d)the conformity of the actions undertaken with those included in the approved operational programme; and
(e)the respect of financial or other limits and ceilings imposed.
4.Expenditure incurred under the operational programme shall be supported by proof of payment. Invoices used shall be established in the name of the producer organisation, association of producer organisations or the subsidiary complying with the 90 % requirement referred to in Article 22(8) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 or, subject to Member State approval, in the name of one or more of its producer members. However, invoices in respect of the personnel costs referred to in point 2 of Annex III to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 shall be established in the name of the producer organisation, association of producer organisation, subsidiary complying with the 90 % requirement referred to in Article 22(8) of that Regulation or, subject to Member State approval, cooperatives which are a member of the producer organisation.
1.Member States shall carry out on-the-spot checks at the premises of producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and their subsidiaries, where applicable, to ensure compliance with the conditions for recognition, for granting an aid or the balance thereof for the year concerned as referred to in Article 9(1), which shall supplement the administrative checks.
2.The on-the-spot checks shall relate to a sample representing at least 30 % of the total aid applied for each year. Each producer organisation or association of producer organisations implementing an operational programme shall be visited at least once every three years.
3.Member States shall determine the producer organisations to be checked on the basis of a risk analysis that shall take account of the following criteria:
(a)the amount of aid;
(b)the findings of the checks in previous years;
(c)a random parameter; and
(d)other parameters to be determined by Member States.
4.Advance notice of on-the-spot checks may be given, provided that the purpose of the check is not jeopardised.
5.The on-the-spot checks shall cover all the commitments and obligations of the producer organisation or association of producer organisations, its members or subsidiaries, where applicable, which can be checked at the time of the visit and which could not have been checked during the administrative checks. On-the-spot checks shall in particular concern:
(a)the compliance with the recognition criteria for the year concerned;
(b)the implementation of the actions and their consistency with the approved operational programme;
(c)in relation to a relevant number of actions: the compliance of the expenditure with Union law and respect of the deadlines set out therein;
(d)the use of the operational fund, including expenditure declared in claims for advance payments or partial payments, the value of marketed production, the contributions to the operational fund and the expenditure declared as supported by accounting or equivalent documents;
(e)the full delivery of the products by the members, the delivery of the services and the genuineness of the expenditure claimed; and
(f)second level checks as referred to in Article 30 for the expenses of market withdrawals, green harvesting and non-harvesting.
6.The value of marketed production shall be verified on the basis of the financial accounting system as audited and certified in accordance with national law.
To that end, the Member States may decide that the declaration of the value of marketed production shall be certified in the same way as the financial accounting data.
The check on the declaration of the value of marketed production may be carried out before the relevant aid application is transmitted but it shall be carried out at the latest before payment of the aid.
7.Except in exceptional circumstances, the on-the-spot checks shall include a visit to the place where the action is implemented or, if the action is intangible, to the action promoter. In particular, actions on individual holdings of members of producer organisations covered by the sample referred to in paragraph 2 shall be subject of at least one visit to verify their execution.
However, Member States may decide not to carry out such visits for small actions, or where they consider that there is a low risk that the conditions for receiving aid are not fulfilled, or that the operation has not been implemented. The respective decision and its justification shall be recorded. The risk analysis criteria set out in paragraph 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to this paragraph.
8.Only checks meeting all the requirements of this Article may be counted towards the fulfilment of the checking rate set out in paragraph 2.
9.The results of the on-the-spot checks shall be assessed to establish whether any problems encountered are of a systemic nature, entailing a risk for other similar actions, beneficiaries or bodies. This assessment shall also identify the causes of such situations, any further examination which may be required and the recommended corrective and preventive action.
If the checks reveal significant irregularities in a region or part of a region or for a specific producer organisation or association of producer organisations, the Member State shall carry out additional checks during the year in the region or on the organisation or association concerned and shall increase the percentage of corresponding applications to be checked the following year.
1.A detailed report shall be made for each on-the-spot check indicating at least the following information:
(a)the aid scheme and the application checked;
(b)the names and functions of the persons present;
(c)the actions, measures and documents checked, including the audit trail and supporting evidence verified; and
(d)the results of the check.
2.A representative of the producer organisation or association of producer organisations shall be given the opportunity to sign the report to attest his/her presence at the check and to record his/her comments. Where irregularities are found, the beneficiary shall receive a copy of the report.
1.Member States shall carry out first-level checks on withdrawal operations in each producer organisation, comprising of a document and identity check supported by a physical check, of the weight of the products withdrawn from the market and a check on compliance with Article 15, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Chapter II of Title II of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011. The check shall take place following receipt of the notification referred to in Article 44(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, within the time limits set in accordance with paragraph 2 of that Article.
2.The first-level checks shall cover 100 % of the quantity of products withdrawn from the market. At the end of this check, the withdrawn products other than those for free distribution, shall be denatured or disposed of to the processing industry under the supervision of the competent authorities under the terms and conditions laid down by the Member State in accordance with Article 46 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891.
3.By way of derogation from paragraph 2, where the products are for free distribution, Member States may check a smaller percentage than that laid down in that paragraph, provided it is not less than 10 % of the quantities concerned during the marketing year of any given producer organisation. The check may take place at the premises of the producer organisation or at the sites of the recipients of the products. In the event that the checks reveal irregularities, Member States shall carry out additional checks.
1.Member States shall carry out second-level checks on withdrawal operations at the premises of the producer organisation and of the recipients of the products withdrawn based on a risk analysis. The risk analysis shall include the findings of previous first and second-level checks, and whether or not a producer organisation has some form of quality-assurance procedure. This risk analysis shall serve as the basis to establish the minimum frequency of second-level checks for each producer organisation.
2.The second-level checks referred to in paragraph 1 shall concern:
(a)the specific stock and accounting records to be kept by all producer organisations which carry out withdrawal operations during the marketing year concerned;
(b)the quantities marketed as declared in the aid applications, checking, in particular, the stock and accounting records, the invoices and, ensuring that the declarations tally with the accounting and tax data of the producer organisations concerned;
(c)the accounts, in particular the veracity of net receipts by the producer organisations as declared in their payment applications and the proportionality of any withdrawal costs; and
(d)the destination of withdrawn products as declared in the payment application and their denaturing.
3.Each check shall include a sample representing at least 5 % of the quantities withdrawn by the producer organisation during the marketing year.
4.The specific stock and accounting records referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2 shall show, for each product withdrawn, the quantities moved, expressed in tonnes, of:
(a)the production delivered by members of the producer organisation and by members of other producer organisations in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) and (c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891;
(b)sales by the producer organisation, identifying products intended for the fresh market and products for processing; and
(c)products withdrawn from the market.
5.The checks on the destination of products withdrawn from the market shall include:
(a)a sample check on the stock records to be kept by recipients and on the financial accounts of the charitable organisations and institutions concerned where the second subparagraph of Article 46(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 applies; and
(b)checks on compliance with the relevant environmental requirements.
6.If the second-level checks reveal irregularities, Member States shall carry out more detailed second-level checks for the year concerned and shall increase the frequency of second-level checks at the premises of producer organisations or associations of producer organisations during the following year.
1.Before a green harvesting operation takes place, Member States shall verify by an on-the-spot check that the products concerned are not damaged and the area concerned has been well maintained. After green harvesting, Member States shall verify that the area concerned has been harvested in total and the harvested product has been denatured.
2.Before a non-harvesting operation takes place, Member States shall verify by an on-the-spot check that the area concerned has been well maintained, that no partial harvest has already taken place, that the product is well developed and would in general be sound, fair and of marketable quality.
Member States shall ensure that the production is denatured. If this is not possible, they shall ensure, by an on-the-spot visit or visits during the harvest season, that no harvest takes place.
3.Where the second subparagraph of Article 48(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 applies:
(a)the requirement provided for in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 of this Article that no partial harvest has taken place, shall not apply; and
(b)Member States shall ensure that the fruit and vegetable plants on which non-harvesting and green harvesting measures have been undertaken shall not be used for further production purposes in the same production season.
4.Article 30(1), (2), (3) and (6) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
1.The Member State in which a transnational producer organisation has its head office shall have overall responsibility for the organisation of checks on that organisation in respect of the operational programme and operational fund and for the application of administrative penalties where such checks demonstrate that obligations have not been met.
2.The other Member States required to provide the administrative co-operation referred to in Article 14(3)(c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 shall carry out such administrative and on–the-spot checks as required by the Member State referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, and report the results to it. They shall respect the deadlines set by the Member State referred to in paragraph 1.
3.The rules applicable in the Member State referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply in relation to the producer organisation and the operational programme and operational fund. However, in respect of environmental and phytosanitary questions and crisis prevention and management measures, the rules of the Member State where the respective actions take place shall apply.
1.The Member State in which a producer organisation which is a member of a transnational association has its head office shall have overall responsibility for the organisation of checks in respect of actions of the operational programme implemented on its territory and of the operational fund and for the application of administrative penalties where such checks demonstrate that obligations have not been met.
2.The Member State referred to in paragraph 1 shall closely co-operate with the Member State in which the transnational association of producer organisations has its head office and notify without delay the results of the checks carried out and possible administrative penalties applied.
[F13. The Member State in which the transnational association of producer organisations has its head office shall:
(a) have overall responsibility for the organisation of checks in respect of actions of the operational programme implemented at the level of the transnational association and of the operational fund of the transnational association and for the application of administrative penalties where such checks demonstrate that obligations have not been met; and
(b) ensure the coordination of checks and payments in respect of the actions of the operational programme of the transnational association implemented outside the territory of the Member State where its head office is.
4. The actions of the operational programmes shall comply with the national rules and with the national strategy of the Member State where, in accordance with Article 9, paragraphs 6 and 7, the application for aid is submitted.
However, environmental and phytosanitary measures and crisis prevention and management measures shall be subject to the rules of the Member State where these measures and actions are actually carried out.]
Textual Amendments
F1 Substituted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1146 of 7 June 2018 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 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 and Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions.
Without prejudice to specific provisions of this Regulation or other Union legislation, Member States shall introduce checks and measures to ensure the proper application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 and this Regulation. Those checks and measures shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive so that they provide adequate protection for the financial interests of the Union.
In particular, Member States shall ensure that:
all eligibility criteria established by Union or national legislation or the national strategy or national framework can be checked;
the competent authorities of the Member State responsible for carrying out checks have a sufficient number of suitably qualified and experienced staff to carry out the checks effectively; and
provision is made for checks to avoid irregular duplicated financing of measures under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 in the fruit and vegetables sector and under other Union or national schemes.
In cases of obvious errors recognised by the competent authority of the Member State, as referred to in Article 59(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, any notification, claim or request made to a Member State under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 or this Regulation and any aid application may be corrected and adjusted at any time after its submission.
Where a Member State decides, pursuant to Article 165 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, that operators who do not belong to producer organisations, associations of producer organisations or interbranch organisations, but in respect of whom rules are made binding, shall pay a financial contribution, the Member State shall forward to the Commission the information needed to assess compliance with the conditions laid down in that Article. Such information shall include the basis on which the contribution is calculated, the unit amount thereof, the activities covered and their associated costs.
1.Where it is decided to apply an extension of rules for a period exceeding one year, the Member States shall verify, in respect of each year, whether the conditions regarding representativeness laid down in Article 164(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 have continued to be met throughout the period of application of the extension.
2.If Member States find that the conditions are no longer met, they shall repeal the extension with effect from the beginning of the following year.
3.Member States shall inform the Commission without delay of any repeal. The Commission shall make such information publicly available by the appropriate means.
1.For each product and for the periods of application set out in Part A of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, the Commission shall fix each working day and for each origin, a standard import value equal to the weighted average of the representative prices referred to in Article 74 of that Regulation, less a standard amount of EUR 5/100 kg and the ad valorem customs duties.
2.Where a standard import value is established for the products and for the periods of application set out in Part A of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, in accordance with Articles 74 and 75 of that Regulation and this Article, the unit price as referred to in Article 142 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447(9) shall not apply. It shall be replaced by the standard import value referred to in paragraph 1.
3.Where no standard import value is in force for a product of a given origin, the weighted average of standard import values in force for that product shall apply.
4.During the periods of application set out in Part A of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, the standard import values shall remain applicable until they are changed. They shall cease to apply, however, where no average representative price has been notified to the Commission for two consecutive weeks.
Where, pursuant to the first subparagraph, no standard import value applies to a given product, the standard import value applicable to that product shall be equal to the last average standard import value.
5.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where it has not been possible to calculate a standard import value, no standard import value shall be applicable from the first day of the periods of application set out in Part A of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891.
6.The exchange rate applicable to the standard import value shall be the rate most recently published by the European Central Bank prior to the last day of the period for which prices are transmitted.
7.The standard import values expressed in euro shall be published by the Commission via TARIC(10).
[F11. An additional import duty as referred to in Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 may be applied to the products and during the periods listed in Annex VII to this Regulation. That additional import duty shall apply if the quantity of any of the products put into free circulation for any of the periods of application set out in that Annex exceeds the trigger volume for that product unless the imports are unlikely to disturb the Union market, or the effects of the additional import duty would be disproportionate to the intended objective.]
2.For each of the products listed in Annex VII and during the periods indicated in that Annex, Member States shall notify the Commission of details of the volumes put into free circulation using the method for the surveillance of preferential imports set out in Article 55 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
3.The additional import duty shall be levied on quantities put into free circulation after the date of application of that duty, provided that:
(a)their customs value determined in accordance with Article 74 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 entails the application of the highest specific duties applicable to imports of the origin in question; and
(b)the import takes place during the period of application of the additional import duty.

The additional import duty applied in accordance with Article 39 shall be equivalent to one third of the customs duty specified in the Common Customs Tariff for the product in question.
However, for products benefiting from an import tariff preference as to ad valorem duty, the additional import duty shall be equivalent to one third of the specific customs duty for the product in question where Article 39(2) applies.
1.The following goods are exempt from the additional import duty:
(a)goods imported under a tariff quota;
(b)goods that left the country of origin before the decision to apply the additional import duty, and which are being transported under cover of a transport document valid from the place of loading in the country of origin to the place of unloading in the Union that was drawn up before application of the additional import duty.
2.Interested parties shall provide evidence to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that the requirements of paragraph 1(b) have been met.
Customs authorities may deem that goods left the country of origin before the date of application of the additional import duty if one of the following documents is provided for:
(a)sea transport, the bill of loading showing that loading took place before that date;
(b)rail transport, the waybill accepted by the rail authorities of the country of origin before that date;
(c)road transport, the road carriage contract (CMR) or another transit document issued in the country of origin before that date, if the conditions laid down in bilateral or multilateral arrangements concluded in the context of Union transit or common transit are observed;
(d)air transport, the air way bill showing that the airline accepted the goods before that date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The indicators related to actions undertaken by recognised producer organisations, associations of producer organisations, transnational organisations and producer groups under an operational programme/recognition plan does not necessarily capture all the factors that may intervene and affect the outputs, results and impact of an operational programme/recognition plan. In this context, the information provided by the indicators should be interpreted in the light of quantitative and qualitative information relating to other key factors contributing to the success or failure of the programme/plan's implementation.
In case Member States use samples for the calculation of indicators, the size of the sample, its representativeness and its other constituting elements shall be communicated to the Commission services, together with the annual report.
| a Including non-productive investments linked to the achievement of commitments undertaken under the operational programme. | |||||||
| b Refers to a set of detailed obligations concerning the production methods (a) the respect of which is subject to independent inspection, and (b) that result in a final product the quality of which (i) goes significantly beyond the normal commercial standards as regards public health, plant health or environmental standards and (ii) responds to current and foreseeable market opportunities. It is proposed that the main types of ‘ quality schemes ’ cover the following: (a) certified organic production; (b) protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, (c) certified integrated production, (d) private certified product quality schemes. | |||||||
| c Protected designations of origin/Protected Geographical Indications/Traditional Speciality Guaranteed | |||||||
| d Each day of a promotion/communication campaign counts as one action. | |||||||
| e ‘ At risk of soil erosion ’ shall mean any sloping plot with an inclination higher than 10 %, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover, crop rotation, etc.) have been taken. Where the relevant information is available, a Member State may instead use the following definition: ‘ At risk of soil erosion ’ shall mean any plot with a predicted loss of soil exceeding the rate of natural soil formation, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover or crop rotation) have been taken. | |||||||
| f Actions relating to the setting up/refilling of different mutual funds count as different actions. | |||||||
| g Market withdrawal of the same product in different periods of the year and market withdrawals of different products count as different actions. Each market withdrawal operation for a given product counts as one action. | |||||||
| h Green-harvesting and non-harvesting of different products count as different actions. Green harvesting and non-harvesting of the same product count as one action, regardless of the number of days they take, the number of holdings participating and the number of plots or hectares concerned. | |||||||
