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 12(2) and (3) thereof,

Commission Decision 2009/780/EC of 22 October 2009 fixing the net amounts resulting from the application of voluntary modulation in Portugal for calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012 (7) has been repealed by Commission Decision 2010/235/EU (8) in order to take into account the decision taken by Portugal not to apply voluntary modulation at all.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/820/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/56/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Union and complying with that Directive.
(2)
However, as work to establish a Union equivalence for seed potatoes from all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Directive 2002/56/EC permitted Member States to extend until 31 March 2011 the validity of equivalence decisions which they had already taken for seed potatoes from certain third countries not covered by a Union equivalence. This date was chosen by reference to the end of the period where seed potatoes are placed on the market.
(3)
Since this work still has not been completed and a new marketing season will start by the end of the year 2011, it is necessary to authorise Member States to extend the validity of their national equivalence decisions.
(4)
Directive 2002/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In the first subparagraph of Article 21(3) of Directive 2002/56/EC, ‘31 March 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2014’.
