Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 3 December 2010, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Government of the United States of America (United States) concerning an agreement on the protection of personal data when transferred and processed for the purpose of preventing, investigating, detecting or prosecuting criminal offences, including terrorism. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

On 3 December 2010, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Government of the United States of America (United States) concerning an agreement on the protection of personal data when transferred and processed for the purpose of preventing, investigating, detecting or prosecuting criminal offences, including terrorism.

(2)

The negotiations with the Government of the United States have been completed and the text of the Agreement was initialled on 8 September 2015.

| (3) | The Agreement aims at establishing a comprehensive framework of data protection principles and safeguards when personal information is transferred for criminal law enforcement purposes between the United States, on the one hand, and the European Union or its Member States, on the other. The objective is to ensure a high level of data protection and, thereby, enhance cooperation between the parties. Whilst not being itself the legal basis for any transfer of personal information to the United States, the Agreement supplements, where necessary, data protection safeguards in existing and future data transfer agreements or national provisions authorising such transfers. |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/921

of 10 June 2016

laying down further temporary exceptional support measures for producers of certain fruit and vegetables

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) | On 7 August 2014 the Russian government introduced a ban on imports of certain products from the Union to Russia, including fruit and vegetables. This ban created a serious threat of market disturbances caused by significant price falls due to the fact that an important export market was no longer available. On 24 June 2015 this ban was extended until August 2016. In January 2016, it was extended to Turkey too. Turkey exported huge quantities of fruit and vegetables to Russia. With the extension of the ban, the risk exists that products originating in Turkey will be redirected to the Union or to third countries' markets where they will compete with Union products. This is particularly the case in some Member States where there is a low degree of organisation of the sector. In such circumstances, threats of Union market disturbances remain real and adequate measures need to be adopted and implemented as long as the Russian ban remains in force. |

(1)

On 7 August 2014 the Russian government introduced a ban on imports of certain products from the Union to Russia, including fruit and vegetables. This ban created a serious threat of market disturbances caused by significant price falls due to the fact that an important export market was no longer available. On 24 June 2015 this ban was extended until August 2016. In January 2016, it was extended to Turkey too. Turkey exported huge quantities of fruit and vegetables to Russia. With the extension of the ban, the risk exists that products originating in Turkey will be redirected to the Union or to third countries' markets where they will compete with Union products. This is particularly the case in some Member States where there is a low degree of organisation of the sector. In such circumstances, threats of Union market disturbances remain real and adequate measures need to be adopted and implemented as long as the Russian ban remains in force.

| (2) | That threat of market disturbances is of particular relevance for the fruit and vegetables sector where large quantities of perishable products used to be exported to Russia. It has proved difficult to redirect the entire production to other destinations. Uncertainty as regards the renewal of the ban may negatively affect the start of the season for many products of that sector. |

That threat of market disturbances is of particular relevance for the fruit and vegetables sector where large quantities of perishable products used to be exported to Russia. It has proved difficult to redirect the entire production to other destinations. Uncertainty as regards the renewal of the ban may negatively affect the start of the season for many products of that sector.

| (3) | Accordingly, a situation continues to exist on the Union market for which the normal measures available under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 appear to be insufficient. |

(3)

Accordingly, a situation continues to exist on the Union market for which the normal measures available under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 appear to be insufficient.

| (4) | In order to prevent a severe and prolonged market disturbance, Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 913/2014 (2), (EU) No 932/2014 (3), (EU) No 1031/2014 (4) and (EU) 2015/1369 (5) provided for maximum amounts of support for withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations, calculated on the basis of traditional exports to Russia. As the threat of market disturbance continues to exist, the measures initially introduced by those Regulations need to be adapted. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In order to prevent a severe and prolonged market disturbance, Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 913/2014 (2), (EU) No 932/2014 (3), (EU) No 1031/2014 (4) and (EU) 2015/1369 (5) provided for maximum amounts of support for withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations, calculated on the basis of traditional exports to Russia. As the threat of market disturbance continues to exist, the measures initially introduced by those Regulations need to be adapted.

| (5) | The temporary exceptional support measures should therefore be prolonged for a further year, or until trade situation between the Union and Russia changes, for all the products that were covered by Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1031/2014. In addition, sweet cherries and persimmons should be added to the list of products eligible for support, since those products used to be exported to Russia by some Member States. |

In addition, sweet cherries and persimmons should be added to the list of products eligible for support, since those products used to be exported to Russia by some Member States.

| (6) | The temporary Union financial assistance should be granted taking into account the estimated quantities affected by the ban. The calculation of those quantities should be made for each Member State in accordance with the level of those established in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1369. In addition, the quantities should be significantly reduced to take into account the fact that producers have had more time to adapt and source new outlets. |

In addition, the quantities should be significantly reduced to take into account the fact that producers have had more time to adapt and source new outlets.

| (7) | Where the uptake of these exceptional support measures within a Member State has been very low for a particular product and the administrative costs of providing support are therefore disproportionately high, that Member State should have the option to choose not to implement these measures. |

Where the uptake of these exceptional support measures within a Member State has been very low for a particular product and the administrative costs of providing support are therefore disproportionately high, that Member State should have the option to choose not to implement these measures.

| (8) | It is expected that products covered by this Regulation, which would have been exported to Russia, have already been or will be diverted to the markets of other Member States. Producers of the same products within those Member States, which do not traditionally export their products to Russia, may accordingly, be faced with a significant market disturbance and a fall in prices. Therefore, in order to further stabilise the market, the temporary Union financial assistance should also be available for producers in all Member States in respect of one or more of the products covered by this Regulation, but the quantity involved should not exceed 3 000 tonnes per Member State. |

| (9) | Member States should remain free to decide not to use the quantity of 3 000 tonnes. Where they do so, they should inform the Commission in time to allow the Commission to decide on a possible re-allocation of the quantities that have not been used. |

Member States should remain free to decide not to use the quantity of 3 000 tonnes. Where they do so, they should inform the Commission in time to allow the Commission to decide on a possible re-allocation of the quantities that have not been used.

| (10) | Market withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting are effective crisis management measures where there exists a surplus of fruit and vegetables due to temporary and unpredictable circumstances. Member States should have the possibility to allocate the quantities made available to them to one or more of those measures in order to make the most efficient use of the amounts available. |

Member States should have the possibility to allocate the quantities made available to them to one or more of those measures in order to make the most efficient use of the amounts available.

| (11) | As provided for in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 932/2014, the restriction of 5 % as a proportion of the volume of marketed production for supported market withdrawals should be temporarily lifted. The Union financial assistance should therefore be granted even when withdrawals exceed the 5 % ceiling. |

The Union financial assistance should therefore be granted even when withdrawals exceed the 5 % ceiling.

| (12) | The temporary Union financial assistance granted for market withdrawals should be based on the respective amounts set out in Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (6) for withdrawals for free distribution and for withdrawals for other destinations. For those products for which no amount is fixed in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, maximum amounts should be laid down in this Regulation. |

For those products for which no amount is fixed in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, maximum amounts should be laid down in this Regulation.

| (13) | Taking into account that the amounts for tomatoes set out in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 refer to the marketing year of tomatoes for processing and tomatoes for fresh consumption, it is adequate to clarify that the maximum amount applicable for tomatoes for fresh consumption for the purpose of this Regulation is the one concerning the period from 1 November until 31 May. |

| (14) | In light of the exceptional market disturbances and in order to ensure that all producers of fruit and vegetables are supported by the Union, the temporary Union financial assistance for market withdrawals should be extended to producers of fruit and vegetables who are not members of a recognised producer organisation. |

(14)

In light of the exceptional market disturbances and in order to ensure that all producers of fruit and vegetables are supported by the Union, the temporary Union financial assistance for market withdrawals should be extended to producers of fruit and vegetables who are not members of a recognised producer organisation.

| (15) | In order to encourage the free distribution of withdrawn fruit and vegetables to certain organisations, such as charitable organisations and schools or any other equivalent destinations approved by the Member States, 100 % of the maximum amounts fixed in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should also be applicable to producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation. In the case of withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution, they should receive 50 % of the maximum amounts fixed. In this context, producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation should fulfil the same or similar conditions as producer organisations. Therefore, they should be subject, like recognised producer organisations, to the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011. |

| (16) | Producer organisations are the basic actors of the fruit and vegetables sector and are the most suited entities to ensure that the temporary Union financial assistance for market withdrawals is paid to producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation. They should ensure that such assistance is paid to the producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation through the conclusion of a contract. As not all Member States have the same degree of organisation on the supply side of the fruit and vegetables market, it is appropriate to allow the competent authority of the Member States to pay the support directly to the producers where this is duly justified. |

| (17) | The amount of the support for non-harvesting and green harvesting should be fixed by Member States per hectare at a level to cover not more than 90 % of the maximum amount for market withdrawals applicable to withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution as set out in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 or, for products for which no amount has been fixed in that Annex, in this Regulation. For tomatoes for fresh consumption the amount to be taken into account by Member States should be the one set in Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 for the period from 1 November until 31 May. Non-harvesting should be supported even where commercial production has been taken from the producing area concerned during the normal production cycle. |

| (18) | Producer organisations concentrate the supply and are able to act faster than producers who are not members of such organisations, in coping with greater quantities and thereby providing an immediate impact on the market. Therefore, in order to make the implementation of the exceptional support measures provided for in this Regulation more efficient and to speed up the stabilisation of the market, it is appropriate, in respect of producers who are members of recognised producer organisations to increase the temporary Union financial assistance for withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution to 75 % of the relevant maximum amounts set for the support for withdrawals for other destinations. |

| (20) | Given the high number of producers who are not members of a producer organisation and the need to carry out checks that are reliable but feasible, the temporary Union financial assistance should not be granted, for producers who are not members of a producer organisation, for green harvesting of fruit and vegetables for which the normal harvest has already begun or for non-harvesting measures where commercial production has been taken from the producing area concerned during the normal production cycle. In this context, producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation should be subject, like recognised producer organisations, to the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011. |

4.   Where the import situation of certain products from the Union to Russia changes before 30 June 2017, the Commission may amend or repeal this Regulation accordingly.

Article 2

Allocation of maximum quantities to Member States

1.   The financial assistance for support measures referred to in Article 1(1) shall be made available to Member States for the quantities of products set out in Annex I.

The financial assistance shall also be available to Member States for withdrawal, green harvesting or non-harvesting operations, with respect to one or more of the products referred to in Article 1(2) as determined by the Member State, provided that the additional quantity involved does not exceed 3 000 tonnes per Member State.

2.   With respect to the quantities per Member State referred to in paragraph 1, Member States may determine for each product referred to in Article 1(2):

| (a) | the quantities for market withdrawals for free distribution; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the quantities for market withdrawals for free distribution;

| (b) | the quantities for market withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the quantities for market withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution;

| (c) | the equivalent area for green harvesting and non-harvesting. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

the equivalent area for green harvesting and non-harvesting.

3.   Where the quantities actually withdrawn in a Member State between 8 August 2015 and 30 June 2016 in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1031/2014 for a category of products as defined in Annex Ib to that Regulation are less than 5 % of the total quantities allocated to that Member State for that category of products, the Member State may decide not to make use of the quantity allocated to it in accordance with Annex I. In that event, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission of its decision by 31 October 2016. As from the moment of notification, withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations carried out for that category of products in that Member State shall not be eligible for financial assistance.

4.   Member States may decide not to make use of the quantity of 3 000 tonnes referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1, or part thereof, by 31 October 2016. By the same date, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission of any quantities not used. As from the moment of notification, withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations carried out for the given category of products in that Member State shall not be eligible for financial assistance under this Regulation.

Article 3

Allocation of the quantities to producers

Member States shall allocate the quantities referred to in Article 2(1) between producer organisations and producers who are not members of producer organisations following the first come, first served system.

However, Member States may decide to set up a different system for the allocation of quantities, provided the system established is based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria. For this purpose, Member States may take into account the extent of the effects of the Russian import ban on the producers concerned.

Article 4

Common provisions to withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting measures of producer organisations

1.   The support for withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations undertaken in accordance with this Regulation by producer organisations shall be granted to producer organisations even if their operational programmes and the national strategies of Member States do not provide for such operations.

The support referred to in the first subparagraph shall not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the ceilings referred to in Article 34(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

Article 32(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Article 55(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall not apply to financial assistance under this Regulation.

2.   The ceiling of one third of expenditure referred to in the fourth subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the 25 % maximum ceiling for the increase of the operational fund referred to in Article 66(3)(c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall not apply in respect of expenditure incurred for withdrawal, non-harvesting and green harvesting operations under this Regulation.

3.   Expenditure incurred in accordance with Articles 5 and 7 shall form part of the operational fund of the producer organisations.

4.   Where the recognition of a producer organisation has been suspended in accordance with Article 114(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, members of that producer organisation shall be deemed to be producers not being members of a recognised producer organisation for the purpose of Articles 6 and 8.

Article 5

Financial assistance for withdrawals to producer organisations

1.   The 5 % ceiling referred to in Article 34(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and in Article 79(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall not apply to operations under this Regulation.

2.   The maximum amounts of the financial assistance for withdrawals to producer organisations shall be those set out in Annex II.

3.   By way of derogation from Article 34(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the financial assistance for withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution shall be 75 % of the maximum amounts of the support for other destinations referred to in Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 6

Financial assistance for withdrawals to producers not being members of producer organisations

1.   The maximum amounts of the financial assistance granted to producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation for market withdrawals for free distribution shall be those set out in Annex II.

The maximum amounts of the financial assistance granted to producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation for market withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution shall be 50 % of the amounts set out in Annex II.

2.   Producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation shall conclude a contract with such an organisation for the entire quantity of products to be delivered. Producer organisations shall accept all reasonable requests from producers who are not members of a recognised producer organisation. The quantities delivered by producers not being members shall be consistent with the regional yields and surface concerned.

The financial assistance shall be paid to producers not being members of a recognised producer organisation by the producer organisation with which they signed such a contract.

The amounts that correspond to the real costs incurred by the producer organisation for withdrawing the respective products shall be retained by that organisation. Evidence of those costs shall be proved by means of invoices.

3.   For duly justified reasons, such as the limited degree of organisation of the producers in the Member State concerned, and in a non-discriminatory way, Member States may authorise that a producer who is not a member of a recognised producer organisation may, instead of signing the contract referred to in paragraph 2, make a notification to the competent authority of the Member State about the quantity to be delivered. For such notification, Article 78 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall apply mutatis mutandis. The quantities delivered by producers not being members shall be consistent with the regional yields and surface concerned.

In such cases, the competent authority of the Member State shall pay the financial assistance directly to the producer. Member States shall adopt new or apply existing national rules or procedures for this purpose.

4.   Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, as well as Article 4 of this Regulation shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of this Article.

Article 7

Financial assistance for non-harvesting and green harvesting to producer organisations

1.   By way of derogation from Article 85(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, Member States shall set the amounts of the support, comprising both the Union financial assistance and the producer organisation contribution for non-harvesting and green harvesting, per hectare and at a level to cover not more than 90 % of the amounts fixed for market withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution as set out in Annex II to this Regulation. Support for green harvesting shall cover only the products which are physically on the fields and which are actually green harvested.

By way of derogation from Article 34(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the Union financial assistance for non-harvesting and green harvesting shall be 75 % of the amounts fixed by the Member States in accordance with the first subparagraph.

2.   By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 85(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, non-harvesting measures referred to in Article 84(1)(b) of that Regulation may be undertaken even where commercial production has been taken from the producing area concerned during the normal production cycle. In such cases, the amounts of support referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be proportionally reduced, taking into account the production already harvested, as established on the basis of stock records and financial accounts of the producer organisations concerned.

Article 8

of 10 June 2016

amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which the introduction into the Union of fresh meat is authorised

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point (4) of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down, inter alia, the conditions for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. Part 1 of Annex II to that Regulation establishes a list of third countries, territories and parts thereof from which such consignments may be introduced into the Union, as well as the specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required from certain third countries. |

Part 1 of Annex II to that Regulation establishes a list of third countries, territories and parts thereof from which such consignments may be introduced into the Union, as well as the specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required from certain third countries.

| (2) | Argentina and Brazil are regionalised for the purpose of inclusion into this list. The regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as parts of those countries authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Argentina and Brazil are regionalised for the purpose of inclusion into this list. The regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as parts of those countries authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates.

| (3) | Four parts of the territory of Argentina are listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. The dates from when such animals may be slaughtered to allow the introduction of fresh meat thereof into the Union, are stated as opening dates for each part of the territory of Argentina. For some of these parts, supplementary guarantees and specific conditions are applicable to eliminate certain animal health risk linked to the introduction of the fresh meat into the Union. |

(3)

Four parts of the territory of Argentina are listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as authorised for the introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates. The dates from when such animals may be slaughtered to allow the introduction of fresh meat thereof into the Union, are stated as opening dates for each part of the territory of Argentina. For some of these parts, supplementary guarantees and specific conditions are applicable to eliminate certain animal health risk linked to the introduction of the fresh meat into the Union.

| (4) | Argentina has requested the listing of those parts of its territory to be updated, in order to merge certain parts of its territory based on whether supplementary guarantees and specific conditions are applicable or not for those parts. This should clarify the regionalisation of Argentina. As different opening dates apply to the current regionalisation, the latest opening date from the merged parts of the territory should be applicable. As not all such parts of Argentina are authorised for introduction of fresh meat of wild non-domestic ungulates covered by the certificate ‘RUW’, this should be specified in a footnote. |

| (5) | The high-surveillance area of Argentina, established along the border with Bolivia and Paraguay, is now part of the territory of Argentina recognised by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as a zone free of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) where vaccination is practised (3). Argentina has requested this area to be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of certain domestic and wild ungulates into the Union. Considering that it is recognised as a zone free of FMD where vaccination is practised and that Argentina has provided sufficient animal health guarantees in support of its request, that area should be authorised for the introduction of fresh meat of certain domestic and wild ungulates into the Union, with the same supplementary guarantees applicable to the other parts of Argentina free of FMD with vaccination. |

Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (8) | To avoid any disruption of introduction into the Union of consignments of fresh meat of certain ungulates, veterinary certificates with indication of the code of territory AR-4 issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 before the amendments made by this Regulation, should continue to be authorised for a transitional period. |
