COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 27 June 2011

amending Decisions 2008/603/EC, 2008/691/EC and 2008/751/EC as regards extension of the temporary derogations from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Mauritius, Seychelles and Madagascar with regard to tuna and tuna loins

(notified under document C(2011) 4322)

(2011/377/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (1), and in particular Article 36(4) of Annex II thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 17 July 2008 Commission Decision 2008/603/EC (2) was adopted granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Mauritius with regard to preserved tuna and tuna loins. By Commission Decisions 2009/471/EC (3) and 2010/560/EU (4) extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 27 December 2010 Mauritius requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. According to the information received from Mauritius the catches of raw tuna remain unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. Given that the abnormal situation since 2008 remains unchanged and because of the problem of piracy in the Indian Ocean a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2011. |

On 17 July 2008 Commission Decision 2008/603/EC (2) was adopted granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Mauritius with regard to preserved tuna and tuna loins. By Commission Decisions 2009/471/EC (3) and 2010/560/EU (4) extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 27 December 2010 Mauritius requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. According to the information received from Mauritius the catches of raw tuna remain unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations.

| (2) | On 14 August 2008 Commission Decision 2008/691/EC (5) was adopted granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Seychelles with regard to preserved tuna. By Decisions 2009/471/EC and 2010/560/EU extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 8 November 2010 Seychelles requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for 4 000 tonnes of canned tuna. For the first time, Seychelles requested a derogation from the rules of origin for tuna loins. That request was for a quantity of 1 000 tonnes. According to the information provided by Seychelles the catches of raw tuna remain very low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. Furthermore, the threat of piracy results in a reduced number of fishing days in lucrative but high risk areas. Given that the abnormal situation since 2008 remains unchanged, a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2011. |

By Decisions 2009/471/EC and 2010/560/EU extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 11 January 2011 Madagascar requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. On 28 January 2011 Madagascar provided additional information. According to this information sourcing of raw originating tuna remains difficult due to the problem of piracy in the Indian Ocean. Given that the abnormal situation since 2008 remains unchanged, a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2011. |

| (4) | Decisions 2008/603/EC, 2008/691/EC and 2008/751/EC applied until 31 December 2010 because the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States on the one part and the European Community and its Member States on the other part (ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement) did not enter into force or was not provisionally applied before that date. |

| (5) | In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations to them are to be superseded by the rules of the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement of which the entry into force or the provisional application is foreseen to take place in 2011. Whilst a derogation is still to be granted in 2011, the overall situation, including the state of ratification of the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, will be reassessed in 2012. |

It would be inappropriate to grant by this Decision derogations in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 which exceed the annual quota granted to the ESA region under the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement. The ESA signatories to the Agreement have therefore signed a unilateral political declaration concerning the derogations for tuna granted in 2011 whereby these countries renounce to the global annual quantity of the automatic derogation for 2011 in case that the Agreement will either be provisionally applied or enter into force during that year. Consequently the quota amounts for 2011 should be set at 3 000 tonnes of preserved tuna and 600 tonnes of tuna loins for Mauritius, 3 000 tonnes of preserved tuna and 600 tonnes of tuna loins for Seychelles and 2 000 tonnes of preserved tuna and 500 tonnes of tuna loins for Madagascar. |

(notified under document C(2011) 4497)

(2011/379/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 15(2) and Article 16 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the keeping of accounts by the paying agencies, declarations of expenditure and revenue and the conditions for reimbursing expenditure under the EAGF and the EAFRD (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,

Whereas:

| (1) | In accordance with Articles 14(1) and 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the Commission decides on the monthly payments to reimburse to the Member States the expenditure effected by accredited paying agencies during a reference period under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), and makes the necessary financial resources available to them. That decision is taken on the basis of information supplied to the Commission by the Member States pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

That decision is taken on the basis of information supplied to the Commission by the Member States pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006.

| (2) | Pursuant to Article 17(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the Commission may, without prejudice to the decisions referred to in Articles 30 and 31 of that Regulation in connection with the clearance of accounts, reduce or temporarily suspend monthly payments to the Member States where, on the basis of the declarations of expenditure or the information supplied by them, it is unable to establish that the commitment of funds is in conformity with the applicable Community rules. Before doing so, the Commission must have given the Member States concerned an opportunity to submit their comments. |

(2)

Pursuant to Article 17(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the Commission may, without prejudice to the decisions referred to in Articles 30 and 31 of that Regulation in connection with the clearance of accounts, reduce or temporarily suspend monthly payments to the Member States where, on the basis of the declarations of expenditure or the information supplied by them, it is unable to establish that the commitment of funds is in conformity with the applicable Community rules.
