COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 908/2014

of 6 August 2014

laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to paying agencies and other bodies, financial management, clearance of accounts, rules on checks, securities and transparency

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Articles 8(2), 9(2), 23, 36(6), 46(5) and (6), 50(2), 53(1), 57(2), 62(2), 66(4), 88, 104, 114 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 lays down the basic rules on the financing, management and monitoring of the Common Agricultural Policy, including on the accreditation of paying agencies and coordinating bodies, financial management and clearance procedures, control systems and penalties including scrutiny of transaction, securities and transparency. In order to ensure that the new legal framework established by that Regulation functions smoothly and applies uniformly, the Commission has been empowered to adopt certain rules in those areas. The new rules should replace the relevant provisions of Commission Regulations (EC) No 601/94 (2), (EC) No 4/2004 (3), (EC) No 883/2006 (4), (EC) No 884/2006 (5), (EC) No 885/2006 (6), (EC) No 259/2008 (7) and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (8). Regulations (EC) No 883/2006, (EC) No 884/2006, (EC) No 885/2006 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 were repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014 (9). For the sake of clarity and legal certainty, Regulations (EC) No 601/94, (EC) No 4/2004 and (EC) No 259/2008 should be repealed by this Regulation.

 

(2)

Paying agencies should only be accredited by Member States if they comply with certain minimum criteria established at Union level as referred to in Article 1(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014. Those accreditation criteria are set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014. Rules should be laid down regarding the procedures for issuing, reviewing and withdrawing the accreditation of paying agencies and coordination bodies.

 

(3)

Member States should keep their paying agencies under constant supervision. They should establish a system for the exchange of information to report and keep the competent authorities informed on suspected cases of non-compliance. A procedure should be put in place by which Member States are to deal with such cases, which should include the obligation to draw up a plan to remedy any identified deficiencies within a set time limit. In respect of expenditure effected by paying agencies whose accreditation is maintained by their Member State even though they have failed to implement such a plan within the set time limit the Commission should have the possibility to decide to pursue the deficiencies through the conformity clearance procedure provided for in Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013.

 

(4)

Pursuant to point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, the persons in charge of accredited paying agencies are required to draw up management declarations as to the completeness, accuracy and veracity of the accounts and the proper functioning of the internal control systems, as well as to the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions. Rules should be laid down as regards the content and format of such management...
