TITLE IIU.K. PRODUCER ORGANISATIONS

CHAPTER IIU.K.Operational funds and operational programmes

Section 1U.K.Value of marketed production

Article 22U.K.Basis for calculation

1.[F1Except to the extent that this Article and Article 23 provide otherwise, the] value of marketed production for a producer organisation shall be calculated on the basis of the production of the producer organisation itself and its producer members, and shall only include the production of those fruit and vegetables for which the producer organisation is recognised. The value of marketed production may include fruit and vegetables that are not required to conform to the marketing standards, where those standards do not apply.

[F2Except to the extent that this Article and Article 23 provide otherwise, the] value of marketed production for an association of producer organisations shall be calculated on the basis of the production marketed by the association of producer organisations itself and by its member producer organisations, and shall only include the production of those fruit and vegetables for which the association of producer organisations is recognised. In making this calculation duplicate counting shall be avoided.

2.The value of the marketed production shall not include the value of processed fruit and vegetables or any other product that is not a product of the fruit and vegetables sector.

However, the value of the marketed production of fruit and vegetables intended for processing, which have been transformed into one of the processed fruit and vegetable products listed in Part X of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 or any other processed product referred to in this Article and described further in Annex I to this Regulation, by either a producer organisation, an association of producer organisations or their producer members or subsidiaries complying with the 90 % requirement referred to in paragraph 8 of this Article, either by themselves or through outsourcing, shall be calculated as a flat rate in percentage applied to the invoiced value of those processed products. That flat rate shall be:

(a)53 % for fruit juices;

(b)73 % for concentrated juices;

(c)77 % for tomato concentrate;

(d)62 % for frozen fruit and vegetables;

(e)48 % for canned fruit and vegetables;

(f)70 % for canned mushrooms of the genus Agaricus;

(g)81 % for fruits provisionally preserved in brine;

(h)81 % for dried fruits;

(i)27 % for processed fruit and vegetables other than those referred to in points (a) to (h);

(j)12 % for processed aromatic herbs;

(k)41 % for paprika powder.

3.[F3The Secretary of State] may allow producer organisations to include the value of the by-products in the value of marketed production.

5.[F5Except to the extent that this Article and Article 23 provide otherwise, only] the production of the producer organisation and its producer members which is marketed by that producer organisation shall be counted in the value of marketed production. The production of the producer members of the producer organisation marketed by another producer organisation designated by their own organisation shall be counted in the value of marketed production of the second producer organisation. Duplicate counting shall be avoided.

6.Except where paragraph 8 applies, the marketed production of fruit and vegetables shall be invoiced at the ‘ex-producer organisation’ stage as a product listed in Part IX of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 that is prepared and packaged, excluding:

(a)VAT;

(b)costs of transport internal to the producer organisation, for the distance between the centralised collection or packing points of the producer organisation and the point of distribution of the producer organisation which exceeds 300 km.

7.The value of marketed production may also be calculated at the ‘ex-association of producer organisation’ stage and on the same basis as set out in paragraph 6.

8.The value of marketed production may also be calculated at the ‘ex-subsidiary’ stage, on the same basis as set out in paragraph 6, provided that at least 90 % of the shares or capital of the subsidiary is owned:

(a)by one or more producer organisations or associations of producer organisations; or

(b)subject to [F6approval by the Secretary of State], by producer members of the producer organisations or associations of producer organisations, if doing so contributes to the objectives listed in Article 152(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

9.In case of outsourcing, the value of marketed production shall be calculated at the ‘ex-producer organisation’ stage and shall include the added economic value of the activity that has been outsourced by the producer organisation to its members, third parties or to another subsidiary than the one referred to in paragraph 8.

[F710.Where a reduction in production occurs due to a natural disaster, climatic event, animal or plant diseases or pest infestations, any insurance indemnification received in respect of harvest insurance actions covered by Section 7 of Chapter III, or equivalent actions managed by the producer organisation or its producer members, due to those causes may be included in the value of marketed production.]
