      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1111/2009
   of 19 November 2009
   adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2010 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community and derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(f) and (g), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (3), the Commission should adopt a distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2010 budget year. That plan should lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The Member States involved in the distribution plan for the 2010 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Point 1(c) of Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the allocation of resources for the purchase on the market of products temporarily unavailable in intervention stocks. Given that the stocks of cereals currently held by the intervention agencies are not sufficient to cover the allocations corresponding to the requests for cereals and rice, resource allocations should be fixed to enable the purchase on the market of cereals or rice as required to implement the distribution plan for the 2010 budget year.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual distribution plan. Accordingly, the intra-Community transfers necessary to implement that plan for 2010 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides the option, in cases where transfer of products from the Member State in which they are held in intervention to another Member State is foreseen, for operators to submit a bid without transferring the products released from intervention stocks to the applicant Member State. Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that disposal of products bought into public intervention should take place in such a way as to avoid disturbances in the market.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Due to the current market situation in the dairy sector, which is marked by low price levels, the use of the option provided in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 should not be allowed in the 2010 distribution plan for butter and skimmed milk powder in order to avoid possible disturbances in the market following the release of those products in certain markets that are already well supplied. For the same reason, the use of the possibilities offered to operators in paragraphs 2 and 2a of Article 4 of that Regulation should be limited so that dairy products intended for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community comply with certain requirements concerning their composition and quantity of milk used in their manufacturing. In order to monitor the compliance with that rule, the Member States should provide in their progress reports a detailed list of distributed products placed under the categories ‘high fat content’ or ‘other’.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               In order to ensure that the dairy products from the intervention stocks do not enter the market at an inappropriate moment during the year, the time period provided in the third subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 during which butter and skimmed milk powder may be withdrawn from the intervention stocks should be shortened.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               Taking into account the complexity of the implementation of the 2010 distribution plan requiring a high volume of intra-Community transfers, it is appropriate to increase the 5 % margin provided in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               To implement the annual distribution plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up the annual distribution plan.
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides that the Commission adopts the annual distribution plan before 1 October of each year. Due to the current market situation in the dairy sector and taking into account the need for further consultations with the Member States on their requests, it still has not been possible for the Commission to adopt the distribution plan. Therefore, in order to ensure timely execution of the annual distribution plan this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

   Article 1
   In 2010, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Community under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Allocations to Member States for the purchase of cereals on the market, as required under the plan referred to in Article 1, shall be as set out in Annex II.

   2.   By way of derogation from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, for the 2010 distribution plan where substantiated changes concern 10 % or more of the quantities or values entered per product in the Community plan, the plan shall be revised.
   Article 4
   1.   By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 and 2a of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, when implementing the 2010 distribution plan the Member States shall place the dairy products intended for distribution either under the category ‘high fat content’ or under the category ‘other’.
   2.   The Member States shall ensure that the total quantity of milk fat accounts for a minimum of 20 % of the total weight of the products falling within the first category and that the manufacturing of the total quantity of the products within the second category has required a quantity of milk of at least 90 % of their total weight.
   3.   The progress report for the 2010 distribution plan, provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, shall contain a detailed list of distributed products placed either under the category ‘high fat content’ or under the category ‘other’.

   1.   The intra-community transfer of products listed in Annex III to this Regulation shall be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.
   2.   By way of derogation from Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, in case where a transfer of skimmed milk powder or butter from a Member State in which these products are present in intervention stocks to the Member State where those products will be used to implement the annual distribution plan is foreseen in this Regulation the operator shall not have the option of placing the withdrawn products on the Community market in the first Member State but will have to transfer them to the second Member State.
   Article 6
   For the purpose of implementing the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the date of the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 shall be 1 October 2009.
   Article 7
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
