            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/1017
of 15 April 2021
         
amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (1), and in particular Article 58(7) thereof,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payment to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (2), and in particular Articles 6(3) and 7(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Article 11(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, Member States are to reduce the amount of direct payments to be granted to a farmer for a given calendar year, pursuant to Chapter 1 of Title III of that Regulation, by at least 5 % for the part of the amount exceeding EUR 150 000. In accordance with Article 7(2) of that Regulation, the estimated product of that reduction is to be made available as additional support for measures under rural development.












(2)


In accordance with Article 11(6), fourth subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the Member States notified the Commission by 19 February 2021 of their decision with regard to the reduction of the amount of direct payments and the resulting estimated product of reduction for calendar year 2021. The notifications of Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Finland indicated an estimate bigger than zero.












(3)


In accordance with Article 14(1), seventh subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, France, Latvia and the Netherlands notified the Commission of their decision to make available as additional support financed under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in financial year 2022 a certain percentage of their annual national ceilings for calendar year 2021.












(4)


In accordance with Article 14(2), seventh subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Portugal and Slovakia notified the Commission of their decision to make available as direct payments for calendar year 2021 a certain amount of their 2022 EAFRD allocation.












(5)


It is therefore necessary to adapt Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 so that the annual national ceilings and the annual net ceilings for direct payments reflect the decisions taken by Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Finland. It is also necessary to adapt Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 so that the annual breakdown by Member State of the Union support for rural development equally reflects those decisions.












(6)


Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(7)


As the amendments made by this Regulation to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 affect the application of that Regulation for the year 2021, in particular as regards the timely establishment of budgetary ceilings applicable to certain direct support schemes, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and those amendments should apply from 1 January 2021,
