COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/592
of 30 April 2020
on temporary exceptional measures derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council to address the market disturbance in the fruit and vegetables and wine sectors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and measures linked to it
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 to Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a significant disturbance of the fruit and vegetables and wine markets throughout the Union. The measures taken by the Member States to address the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the extensive movement restrictions and social distancing measures, have resulted in a disruption of supply chains, temporary closure of important outlets for the products of the fruit and vegetables sector and the wine sector, respectively, at the wholesale and retail levels and in the catering sector, such as closures of restaurants, canteens, bars and hotels. The COVID-19 related measures are also leading to logistic problems that are affecting with particular severity perishable fruit and vegetable products and the wine sector. The COVID-19 related measures also cause difficulties in harvesting fruit and vegetables and in all wine production-related tasks due to shortages of workforce and in reaching consumers, due to the disruption of supply chains, logistics and temporary closure of important outlets. These circumstances significantly disturb the fruit and vegetables sector and the wine sector in the Union. The farmers in these sectors experience financial difficulties and cash-flow problems. |

Given the duration of the restrictions imposed by Member States to address the COVID-19 pandemic and their likely continuation, the long term disruption of logistics and supply chains, as well as severe economic impact on the main outlets for the products of the fruit and vegetables sector and the wine sector, respectively, at the wholesale and retail levels and in the catering sector, the severe disturbance in both markets and its effects are likely to continue and possibly even deteriorate. |
(3) |
In view of this market disturbance and the unprecedented combination of circumstances, exceptional difficulties have been encountered by farmers in all Member States with the planning, implementation and execution of aid schemes laid down in Articles 32 to 38 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for the fruit and vegetables sector and in Articles 39 to 54 of that Regulation for the wine sector. It is therefore necessary to alleviate those difficulties by derogating from certain of those provisions. |
(4) |
Recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations may implement, as part of their approved operational programmes, crisis and prevention measures in the fruit and vegetables sector that are intended to increase their resilience to market disturbances. However, pursuant to the fourth subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, these crisis prevention and management measures are not to comprise more than one third of the expenditure under the operational programme. In order to provide greater flexibility for those producer organisations and to enable them to focus the resources under operational programmes to addressing the market disturbance caused by measures related to the... |
