In May and June 2021, several outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals were observed in the in the state of Brandenburg of Germany in areas listed as restricted zone II in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605, located in close proximity to areas currently listed in restricted zone I. Those new outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals constitute an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, these areas of Germany currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, that are in close proximity to the areas listed in restricted zone II affected by those recent outbreaks of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zones II in that Annex instead of as restricted zones I thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zones I also need to be redefined and enlarged to take account of these recent outbreaks.

Article 14(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 provides that by deciding to make the monthly payments, the Commission is to make available to the Member States the resources needed to cover the expenditure to be financed under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (‘EAGF’). By doing so, the Commission should, however, take into account the revenue received by the paying agencies on behalf of the Union’s budget. Currently under the EAGF, the Commission is netting off the expenditure amounts against the assigned revenue amounts directly in the monthly payment decision issued by the Commission. This financial operation derogates from the way assigned revenue is managed under other Union Funds, where it is not netted off but recovered via a recovery order drawn up pursuant to Article 98 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). In order to harmonise the Commission’s accounting practices and, in particular, the way assigned revenue is managed, it is necessary to align this technical aspect of the financial management of the EAGF with the flow used by other Union Funds. Consequently, there is a need for amending the way in which revenue effected under the EAGF is to be offset.
