            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1630
of 11 August 2023
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834 on exceptional market support measures for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors in Italy


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 220(1), first subparagraph, point (a), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Within the context of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5 in Italy, the Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834 (2) covering 294 outbreaks that occurred between 23 October 2021 and 31 December 2021.












(2)


Italy informed the Commission that a number of holdings growing pullets other than cage pullets had also been affected by health and veterinary measures in the form of compulsory closures and resulting losses. Currently, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834 does not cover those holdings.












(3)


It is therefore appropriate to provide part-financing equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure borne by Italy under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834 for holdings growing not only cage pullets but also other types of pullets and keep the same unit amount of support and the same maximum number of eligible animals.












(4)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(5)


In order to ensure an immediate implementation by Italy of the measures to further category of poultry laid down in this Regulation within the time limit applicable to the payment of the aid referred to in Article 2(1), point (c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834, this Regulation should enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.












(6)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
In Article 3(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/834, point (b)(i) is replaced by the following:






‘(i)


EUR 0,038 per pullet per week falling within the CN code 0105 11 11 up to a maximum of 1 417 836 animals;’.






Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 11 August 2023.
