Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 of 22 May 2006 establishing Community financial measures for the implementation of the common fisheries policy and in the area of the Law of the Sea(2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Member States have submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 861/2006, their fisheries control programmes for 2012 and the applications for a Union financial contribution towards the expenditure incurred in carrying out the projects contained in such programmes.
(2) The Commission fixed in its Implementing Decision 2012/294/EU(3) the maximum amount by project and the rate of the Union financial contribution within the limits set by Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 and laid down the conditions under which such contribution may be granted.
(3) Article 2 of Implementing Decision 2012/294/EU provides that all payments in respect of which a reimbursement is claimed are to be made by the Member State concerned by 30 June 2016 and that payments made after that deadline are not eligible for reimbursement.
(4) Several Member States informed the Commission in the first half of 2016 that they encountered difficulties in respecting that deadline in the context, in particular, of the financial crisis and of technical difficulties encountered.
(5) In order to ensure that Member States are able to pursue the execution of these projects and do not abandon them further to the interruption of the reimbursements by the Commission from the second half of 2016, the deadline provided for in Article 2 of Implementing Decision 2012/294/EU should be extended until 31 March 2017 with retroactive effect from 1 July 2016.
(6) Implementing Decision 2012/294/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
