            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 564/2012
of 27 June 2012
         
establishing budgetary ceilings for 2012 applicable to certain direct support schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009


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 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 No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 51(2), the first subparagraph of Article 69(3), the first subparagraph of Article 123(1), the second subparagraph of Article 128(2), and the first subparagraph of Article 131(4) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


For the Member States implementing, in 2012, the single payment scheme provided for under Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the budgetary ceilings for each of the payments referred to in Articles 52, 53 and 54 of that Regulation should be established for 2012.












(2)


For the Member States making use, in 2012, of the options provided for in Articles 69(1) or 131(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the budgetary ceilings for the specific support referred to in Chapter 5 of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should be established for 2012.












(3)


Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 limits the resources that can be used for any coupled measure provided for in points (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Article 68(1)(a) and in Article 68(1)(b) and (e) to 3.5% of the national ceiling referred to in Article 40 of the same Regulation. For the sake of clarity, the Commission should publish the ceiling resulting from the amounts notified by the Member States for the measures concerned.












(4)


Pursuant to Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the amounts calculated in accordance with Article 69(7) of that Regulation have been laid down in Annex III of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (2). For the sake of clarity, the Commission should publish the amounts notified by Member States which they intend to use in accordance with Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.












(5)


For the sake of clarity, the 2012 budgetary ceilings for the single payment scheme, resulting from deduction of the ceilings established for the payments referred to in Articles 52 53, 54 and 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 from the ceilings given in Annex VIII to the same Regulation, should be published. The amount to be deducted from the said Annex VIII in order to finance the specific support provided for in Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 corresponds to the difference between the total amount for the specific support notified by the Member States and the amounts notified to finance the specific support in accordance with article 69(6)(a) of the same Regulation. Where a Member State implementing the single payment scheme decides to grant the support referred to in point (c) of Article 68(1), the amount notified to the Commission is to be included in the single payment scheme ceiling, as this support takes the form of an increase in the unit value and/or the number of the farmer's payment entitlements.












(6)


For Member States implementing, in 2012, the single area payment scheme provided for in Chapter 2 of Title V of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the annual financial envelopes should be established in accordance with Article 123(1) of that Regulation.












(7)


For the sake of clarity, the maximum amount of funds available to Member States applying the single area payment scheme for granting separate sugar payments in 2012 under Article 126 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published.












(8)


For the sake of clarity, the maximum amount of funds available to Member States applying the single area payment scheme for granting separate fruit and vegetables payments in 2012 pursuant to Article 127 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published.












(9)


For Member States applying the single area payment scheme, the 2012 budgetary ceilings applicable to transitional payments for fruit and vegetables payments in 2012 in accordance with Article 128(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, should be published on the basis of their notification.












(10)


For the sake of clarity, the maximum amount of funds available to Member States applying the single area payment scheme for granting separate soft fruit payments in 2012 pursuant to Article 129 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published
