COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 562/2011

of 10 June 2011

adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2012 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union and derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (3), the Commission has to adopt a distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2012 budget year. That plan has to lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies. |

In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (3), the Commission has to adopt a distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2012 budget year. That plan has to lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.

| (2) | The Member States involved in the distribution plan for the 2012 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. |

(2)

The Member States involved in the distribution plan for the 2012 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.

| (3) | For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years. |

(3)

For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years.

| (4) | Taking into account the fact that availability of intervention stocks for the supply of the scheme for food distribution to the most deprived persons is substantially reduced in relation to the previous year, it is appropriate that the 2012 annual plan is adopted as soon as the Member States supplied the Commission with the information required in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. The fast adoption aims to allow the Member States additional time to organize the implementation of the Union annual plan with a view to giving a chance to national authorities and charities to find alternative sources of food. |

| (5) | Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides that, where no rice is available in intervention stocks, the Commission may authorise the removal of cereals from the intervention stocks as payment for the supply of rice or rice products mobilised on the market. Accordingly, given that there are currently no intervention stocks of rice, the removal of cereals from intervention stocks as payment for mobilising rice products in the market should be authorised. |

| (7) | Due to the current market situation in the cereals sector, which is marked by high market price levels, it is appropriate, in order to secure the Union's financial interests, to increase the security, which is to be lodged by the contractor undertaking the supply operation of cereals as provided for in Articles 4(3) and 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. |
