THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes                           for the farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations                           (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 40(1) and Article 57a(7) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 the total value of all allocated payment                              entitlements and of the ceilings fixed in accordance with Articles 51(2) and 69(3) of that Regulation, or, for 2009, in accordance                              with Article 64(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, shall not be higher than the respective national ceiling determined in                              Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.

(2)Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 the national ceilings for claim year 2013                              as referred to in Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for Greece, Spain, Luxembourg, Malta and the United Kingdom                              were adapted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 287/2013(2) following these Member States’ notifications of their intention to provide support to vine-growers for 2014 by allocating                              payment entitlements in accordance with Article 103o of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007(3). Amongst the Member States concerned, Luxembourg and Malta notified their intention to continue transferring the whole amount                              of their budget for the support programmes in the wine sector as set in Annex Xb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. However,                              the fact that the amount had slightly increased for financial year 2014 compared to that available for financial year 2013                              for these two Member States was not taken into account when adapting the national ceilings for direct payments for claim year                              2013. The respective national ceilings as referred to in Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be adapted                              accordingly.

(3)In accordance with Article 103n of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Spain, Luxembourg, Malta and the United Kingdom notified                              the Commission of their intention to definitively transfer part or all of the amount available for the support programmes                              referred to in Annex Xb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in order to increase their national ceilings for direct payments referred                              to in Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for claim years 2014 and onwards. The respective national ceilings as referred                              to in Article 40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be adapted accordingly.

(4)In accordance with Article 57a(9) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Croatia has notified the Commission of the area of land which                              has been de-mined and declared by farmers in the aid applications submitted in respect of claim year 2013 and returned to                              use for agricultural activities between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2012. This notification also included the distribution                              of land between the hectares of grassland and pastures and the other eligible hectares, as well as the information on the                              budgetary envelopes corresponding to each category of de-mined land: EUR 46 000 for grassland and pastures and EUR 6 646 000                              for the other eligible hectares. On the basis of the schedule of increments referred to in Article 121 of Regulation (EC)                              No 73/2009, and in accordance with Article 57a(7) of that Regulation, the respective national ceilings as referred to in Article                              40(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be adapted accordingly.
