THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011 of 17 June 2011 laying down temporary exceptional support measures for the fruit and vegetable sector, and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011 introduced temporary exceptional support measures for the fruit and vegetable sector following an outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Germany, which caused a significant disturbance of the Union fruit and vegetable market.
(2)
On the basis of the information notified by Member States in accordance with Article 7(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011, it appears that the requests for Union support have not exceeded the maximum amount of support fixed in Article 2 of that Regulation. Therefore, an allocation coefficient of 100 % has to be fixed for those requests.
(3)
For the sake of transparency, producer organisations and producers non members having applied for Union support should be informed swiftly on the allocation coefficient fixed by the Commission. For this reason and in order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
