Article 1Amendment of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011
Article 91 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 is replaced by the following:
“Article 91Degree of organisation of producers and definition of a region
1.For the purposes of Article 103e(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the degree of organisation of producers in a region of a Member State shall be calculated as the value of fruit and vegetable production that was obtained in the region concerned and marketed by producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and producer groups, divided by the total value of the fruit and vegetable production that was obtained in that region.
The value of fruit and vegetable production that was obtained in the region concerned and marketed by producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and producer groups referred to in the first subparagraph shall only include the products for which those producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and producer groups are recognised. Articles 42 and 50 shall apply mutatis mutandis. Only the production of producer organisations, associations of producer organisations, producer groups and their members obtained in the region concerned which has been marketed by producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and producer groups shall be included in the calculation of that value.
For the calculation of the total value of the fruit and vegetable production that was obtained in that region, the methodology set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 138/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
2.The degree of organisation of producers in a region of a Member State shall be considered as particularly low where the average of the degrees, calculated as provided for in paragraph 1 for the last three years for which the data are available, is less than 20 %.
3.Only fruit and vegetable production generated in the region referred to in this Article may benefit from national financial assistance.
4.For the purposes of this Chapter, Member States shall define the regions as a distinct part of their territory in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as their agronomic and economic characteristics and their regional agricultural/fruit and vegetable potential, or their institutional or administrative structure and for which data are available in order to calculate the degree of organisation in accordance with paragraph 1.
The regions defined by a Member State for the purposes of this Chapter shall not be altered for at least 5 years unless such alteration is objectively justified by substantive reasons unconnected with the calculation of the degree of organisation of producers in the region or regions concerned.”
Article 2Derogation from Article 92(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 92(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, Member States shall submit their request for authorisation to grant national financial assistance pursuant to Article 103e(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 for operational programmes to be implemented in 2012 by 29 February 2012.
Member States shall identify the regions, including their geographic delimitation as provided for in Article 91(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 as amended by this Regulation, in their first request for authorisation submitted after the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Where appropriate, Member States shall correct requests for authorisation for 2012 sent to the Commission before the date of entry into force of this Regulation by 29 February 2012.
Article 3Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall be without prejudice to requests for Union reimbursement in accordance with Article 95(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of national financial assistance authorised by the Commission before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
