COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/1275
of 6 July 2020
amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 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 Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 227 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 (2) introduced a number of derogations to existing rules to help the fruit and vegetables and wine sectors cope with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
(2) |
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the year 2020, many recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector are facing difficulties in implementing their approved operational programmes. Some of the approved actions and measures will not be implemented in 2020 and therefore part of operational funds will not be spent. Other recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations are amending their operational programmes with a view to implementing actions and measures to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the fruit and vegetables sector, such as crisis management measures. Flexibility regarding the implementation of operational programmes has already been provided for in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592. |
(3) |
The implementation of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 has shown that further measures are necessary to enable recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations, to manage their operational funds, in particular where they have modified their operational programmes based on that Regulation. |
(4) |
Recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations need to be able to redirect funds, including Union financial assistance within the operational fund to the actions and measures that are necessary to address the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations are able to do this, it is necessary to increase in the year 2020 the limit of Union financial assistance laid down in Article 34(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 from 50 % to 70 % of the actual expenditure incurred. |
(5) |
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592 introduced a number of derogations from existing rules in the wine sector which were aimed at providing some relief to the wine producers and help them cope with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since the publication of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/592, the situation of the wine sector has further worsened. |
(6) |
Wine stocks at the beginning of marketing year 2019-2020 were at their highest level since 2009. In May 2020, exports of wine to third countries by the largest producing Member States have dropped by between 22 % and 63 % in volume below those of May 2019. Wine consumption has been severely affected by consequences linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the closure of borders, the closure of the hospitality and catering industry, and the interruption of all touristic activities. All these elements are continuously causing wine surpluses to grow and are putting pressure on... |
