         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1044/2014
   of 3 October 2014
   establishing budgetary ceilings for 2014 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 (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 51(2), the first subparagraph of Article 69(3), Article 72b(2), the first subparagraph of Article 123(1), Article 125b(2), the first subparagraph of Article 131(4) and Article 142(c) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               For Member States implementing, in 2014, the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the budgetary ceilings for each of the payments referred to in Articles 52 and 53 of that Regulation should be established for 2014.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               For Member States making use, in 2014, of the options provided for in Article 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 III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should be established for 2014.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               For Member States making use, in 2014, of the options provided for in Article 72a or 125a of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the budgetary ceilings for the redistributive payment referred to in Chapter 5a of Title III and Chapter 2a of Title V of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should be established for 2014.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 limits the resources that can be used in 2014 for any coupled measure provided for in points (i) to (iv) of Article 68(1)(a) and in Article 68(1)(b) and (e) to 6,5 % of the national ceiling referred to in Article 40 of that 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.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               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 to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 (2). For the sake of clarity, the Commission should publish the amounts notified by Member States which they intend to use in 2014 in accordance with Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               For the sake of clarity, the 2014 budgetary ceilings for the single payment scheme, resulting from deduction of the ceilings established for the payments referred to in Articles 52, 53, 68 and 72a of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 from the ceilings set out in Annex VIII to that Regulation, should be published. The amount to be deducted from the ceilings set out in that Annex 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 that Regulation. Where a Member State implementing the single payment scheme decides to grant the support referred to in Article 68(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, 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.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               For Member States implementing, in 2014, 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.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               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 2014 under Article 126 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               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 2014 pursuant to Article 127 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published.
            
         
               (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 2014 pursuant to Article 129 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, established on the basis of their notification, should be published.
            
         
               (11)
