COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 180/2014
of 20 February 2014
laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2013 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 (1), and in particular Article 6(2), Article 8, Articles 12(3) and 13(2), Article 14, the second subparagraph of Article 18(1) and Articles 19(3), 21(4), 27(1) and 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 (2). Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the scheme in the new legal framework, rules should be adopted by means of such acts. The new rules should replace the implementing rules of Commission Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 (3). That Regulation is repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 179/2014 (4). |
(2) |
Certain agricultural products which are exempt from import duties already require an import licence. In the interests of administrative simplification, the import licence should be used to support the arrangements for exemption from import duties for those products. |
(3) |
A document should also be adopted to support the arrangements for exemption from import duties for other agricultural products which do not require an import licence. An exemption certificate, drawn up on the import licence form, should be used for this purpose. |
(4) |
Rules should be laid down for fixing the amount of aid for the supply of products under the specific supply arrangements. Such rules should take account of the additional costs of supply to the outermost regions due to their remoteness and insularity, which constitute a burden that severely handicaps them. In order to maintain the competitiveness of Union products, this aid should take account of the prices applied to exports. |
(5) |
The aid scheme for products supplied from the territory of the Union should be managed by means of a certificate, called an ‘aid certificate’, using the import licence form. |
(6) |
Management of the specific supply arrangements requires the introduction of rules on the issue of the aid certificate, which derogate from the normal rules applicable to import licences pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (5). |
(7) |
Management of the specific supply arrangements should allow two objectives to be pursued. First, it should promote the rapid issue of licences and certificates, particularly by no longer requiring a security to be lodged beforehand in all cases, and the rapid payment of aid for supplies of products from the territory of the Union. Second, it should guarantee the control and monitoring of operations and provide the administrative authorities with the instruments they need to ascertain that the objectives of the scheme are being attained. Those objectives are to secure a regular supply of certain agricultural products and to offset the effects of the geographical situation of the outermost regions by ensuring that the advantages of the scheme are actually passed on to the stage at which the products destined for the end-users are placed on the market. |
(8) |
The rules for the administration of the specific supply arrangements should ensure that, within the framework of the quantities... |
