Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 27(6) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 may be granted under certain conditions to Community tuna producer organisations for quantities of tuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarter for which prices were recorded, where both the average quarterly selling price recorded on the Community market and the import price plus any countervailing charge were lower than 87 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned. |

| (4) | In accordance with Article 27(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 the level of the compensation may not in any case exceed either the difference between the triggering threshold and the average selling price of the product in question on the Community market or a flat-rate amount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold. |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 27(6) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 may be granted under certain conditions to Community tuna producer organisations for quantities of tuna delivered to the processing industry during the calendar quarter for which prices were recorded, where both the average quarterly selling price recorded on the Community market and the import price plus any countervailing charge were lower than 87 % of the Community producer price for the product concerned. |

| (3) | Entitlement to the compensatory allowance should be determined on the basis of sales which are covered by invoices bearing a date falling within the quarter concerned and which have been used to calculate the average monthly selling price in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2183/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting the compensatory allowance for tuna intended for the processing industry (3). |

| (4) | In accordance with Article 27(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 the level of the compensation may not in any case exceed either the difference between the triggering threshold and the average selling price of the product in question on the Community market or a flat-rate amount equivalent to 12 % of that threshold. |

3.   Details of the financial contributions provided for in Article 9(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 must be given in the programme communicated to the Commission.

Article 12

Conclusion of contracts and provision of securities

1.   As soon as the Commission adopts the decision referred to in Article 9(3), the proposing organisations concerned shall be informed by the Member States whether or not their applications have been accepted.

The Member States shall conclude contracts with the selected proposing organisations within 90 calendar days of notification of the Commission decision referred to in Article 9(3). Beyond that deadline, no contracts may be concluded without prior authorisation from the Commission.

2.   The Member States shall use standard forms of contract provided by the Commission.

Where appropriate, the Member States may amend certain terms in the standard contracts in line with national rules, provided that this does not infringe Community legislation.

3.   Contracts may not be concluded by the two parties until a performance security equal to 15 % of the maximum annual financial contribution from the Community and the Member States concerned has been lodged in favour of the Member State by the proposing organisation in accordance with Title III of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 in order to ensure satisfactory performance of the contract.

However, if the contracting organisation is a body governed by public law or acts under the supervision of such a body, the competent national authority may accept a written guarantee from the supervisory body covering the percentage specified in the first subparagraph, provided the supervisory body undertakes to verify that:

| (a) | the obligations entered into are properly discharged, and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the obligations entered into are properly discharged, and

| (b) | the sums received are used properly to discharge the obligations entered into. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the sums received are used properly to discharge the obligations entered into.

Proof that the performance security has been lodged must reach the Member State within the time limit laid down in paragraph 1.

4.   The primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 shall be implementation of the measures provided for in the contract.

5.   The Member State shall immediately send the Commission a copy of the contract and proof that the performance security has been lodged.

It shall also send a copy of the contract concluded by the selected proposing organisation with the implementing body. The latter contract shall contain the provision that the implementing body must submit to the checks provided for in Article 21.

Article 13

Arrangements for the payment of advances

1.   Within 30 calendar days of the contract referred to in Article 12(1) being signed and, in the case of multiannual programmes, within 30 days of the beginning of each twelve-month period, the contracting organisation may submit an application for an advance payment to the Member State concerned, together with the security provided for in paragraph 3 of this Article. Beyond that date, no applications for an advance may be made.

Each advance payment shall amount to no more than 30 % of the annual contribution from the Community and the Member State(s) concerned, as referred to in Article 9(2) and (3) respectively of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999.

2.   The Member State shall pay an advance within 30 calendar days of submission of the application for advance payment. Except in cases of force majeure, where the payments are made late the amount of the monthly advance paid by the Commission to the Member State shall be reduced in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (6).

3.   The advance shall be paid on condition that the contracting organisation lodges a security equal to 110 % of that advance in favour of the Member State in accordance with Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85. The Member State shall forward a copy of each application for an advance payment and proof that the corresponding security has been lodged to the Commission immediately.

However, if the contracting organisation is a body governed by public law or acts under the supervision of such a body, the competent national authority may accept a written guarantee from the supervisory body covering the percentage specified in the first subparagraph, provided the supervisory body undertakes to pay the amount covered by its guarantee if entitlement to the advance as paid is not established.

Article 14

Intermediate payments

1.   Applications for intermediate payments of the Community and Member State contributions shall be submitted by the proposing organisations to the Member States before the end of the calendar month following the month in which each period of three months calculated from the date of signing of the contract referred to in Article 12(1) expires.

Such applications shall cover the payments made during the quarter concerned and shall be accompanied by a summary financial statement, copies of the relevant invoices and supporting documents and an interim report on the implementation of the contract during the quarter concerned (hereinafter referred to as the quarterly report). Where no payment has been made or no activities have been carried out during the quarter concerned, these documents shall be sent to the competent national authority within the deadline referred to in the first subparagraph.

Except in cases of force majeure, where an application for intermediate payment accompanied by the documents referred to in the second subparagraph is submitted late, the payment shall be reduced by 3 % for each whole month by which it is overdue.

2.   The intermediate payments shall be paid only on condition that the Member State has checked the documents referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.

3.   Intermediate payments and the advance payments referred to in Article 13 taken together may not exceed 80 % of the total annual financial contribution from the Community and the Member States referred to in Article 9(2) and (3) respectively of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999. Once that level is reached, no new intermediate payment applications may be submitted.

Article 15

2.   The balance shall be paid only on condition that the Member State has checked the invoices and documents referred to in paragraphs 1(3).

Where the primary requirement referred to in Article 12(4) is not satisfied in full, the balance payable shall be reduced proportionately.

Article 16

Payments by the Member State

Member States shall make the payments referred to in Articles 14 and 15 within 60 calendar days of receipt of the application for payment.

However, this deadline may be suspended at any time in the 60-day period after the payment application is first registered by notifying the creditor contracting organisation that its application is not admissible, either because the sum is not payable, or because the application is not supported by the requisite evidence for all the additional applications, or because the Member State deems it necessary to have further information or to undertake checks. The payment period shall start running again from the date of receipt of the information requested or the date of the checks undertaken by the Member State, which must be forwarded or undertaken respectively within 30 calendar days of the notification.

Except in cases of force majeure, where the payments are made late the amount of the monthly advance paid by the Commission to the Member State shall be reduced in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 296/96.

2.   Performance securities as provided for in Article 12(3) must remain valid until the balance is paid and shall be released by means of a letter of discharge issued by the competent national authority.

Performance securities shall be released within the time limit and on the terms laid down in Article 16 for payment of the balance.
