COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/286

of 17 February 2017

amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 as regards livestock farmers in earthquake-stricken regions of Italy

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 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 (2) was adopted to address market disturbance in the milk sector due to worldwide supply-demand imbalance, and in other livestock sectors, in particular the pigmeat, beef and veal, and sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors, which were equally experiencing market difficulties. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 (2) was adopted to address market disturbance in the milk sector due to worldwide supply-demand imbalance, and in other livestock sectors, in particular the pigmeat, beef and veal, and sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors, which were equally experiencing market difficulties.

| (2) | The earthquake that struck central Italy on 24 August 2016 caused a high level of human and material damage resulting in an exceptionally severe market disturbance in the earthquake-stricken regions which are predominantly mountainous areas suffering from structural handicaps in which livestock farming has a significant economic and social importance. As the region continues to be hit by aftershocks and new earthquakes, recourse to financial aid provided for by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 has become even more crucial for Italy. |

As the region continues to be hit by aftershocks and new earthquakes, recourse to financial aid provided for by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 has become even more crucial for Italy.

| (3) | As the amount allocated to Italy under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 will only compensate for a limited amount of the actual loss suffered by livestock farmers in earthquake-stricken regions, it is appropriate to provide for Italy to grant additional support to those farmers by further topping-up its Union aid. |

| (4) | Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 set a deadline of 30 September 2017 for the corresponding expenditure to be made in order for those payments to be eligible for Union aid, without knowing at that time that the particular situation in Italy's earthquake-stricken regions would continue to deteriorate. It is therefore appropriate to postpone that deadline for the relevant expenditure to be made to a later date. |

It is therefore appropriate to postpone that deadline for the relevant expenditure to be made to a later date.

It is equally appropriate to postpone the deadline for Italy to notify the total amounts paid per measure, the number and type of beneficiaries, and the assessment of the effectiveness of the measure.

Therefore, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication, |

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2017/290

of 17 February 2017

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

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/371/JHA of 6 April 2009 establishing the European Police Office (Europol) (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 26(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2009/934/JHA of 30 November 2009 adopting the implementing rules governing Europol's relations with partners, including the exchange of personal data and classified information (2), and in particular Articles 5 and 6 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Whereas:

Pursuant to Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2009/935/JHA, that list is set out in the Annex to Decision 2009/935/JHA. |

(3)

It is for Europol's Management Board to review the list when necessary and to decide whether to propose amendments thereto to the Council.

| (4) | Regulation (EU) 2016/794 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) (‘the Europol Regulation’) will apply from 1 May 2017. Pursuant to Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not bound by the Europol Regulation or subject to its application.

| (5) | Given the importance attached by all sides to preventing and combating serious crime affecting two or more Member States, terrorism and forms of crime which affect a common interest covered by a Union policy, it is important to ensure cooperation between Europol and Denmark on key matters so as to enhance the Union's resilience to security threats. |

| (6) | In accordance with point (c) of Article 25(1) of the Europol Regulation, a cooperation agreement allowing for the exchange of personal data concluded, before 1 May 2017, between Europol and a third country in accordance with Article 23 of Decision 2009/371/JHA may constitute the basis for the transfer of personal data from Europol to a third country, insofar as such transfer is necessary for the performance of Europol's tasks. |
