of 17 July 2015

on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (application from Finland — EGF/2015/001 FI/Broadcom)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,

(2) The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (3).

(4) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 365 000 in respect of the application submitted by Finland.

Having regard to Council Directive 2008/71/EC of 15 July 2008 on the identification and registration of pigs (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2008/71/EC sets out the minimum requirements for the identification and registration of animals, without prejudice to more detailed Union rules which may be established for disease eradication or control purposes.

(3) Article 3(2) of Directive 2008/71/EC provides the possibility to authorise Member State to exclude from the list of holdings required by Article 3(1) of that Directive natural persons who keep one single pig which is intended for their own use or consumption, provided that this animal is subjected to the controls laid down in that Directive before any movement.

(4) Commission Decision 2006/80/EC (2) authorises certain Member States to apply the derogation provided for in Article 3(2) of Directive 2008/71/EC as regards holdings with one single pig.
