Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 780/2012
of 28 August 2012
providing for allocation coefficients for the years 2012 to 2017 for the Union contribution towards the aid referred to in Article 103a of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 for producer groups in the fruit and vegetables sector in respect of recognition plans notified by 1 July 2012
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 provides for a ceiling for the expenditure to be financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (‘the Union contribution’) in relation to the aid referred to in Article 103a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and sets up a notification system, under which the Member States inform the Commission of the financial implications of provisionally accepted recognition plans.
The second subparagraph of Article 47(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 requires the Commission to set allocation coefficients on the basis of notifications made by the Member State in accordance with Article 38(4) of that Implementing Regulation and to establish the total available Union contribution per Member State per year.
On the basis of the information notified by Member States by 1 July 2012 in accordance with Article 38(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, it appears that, for the years 2012 and 2013, the total amount of the Union contribution claimed has exceeded the maximum amount laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 47(4) of that Implementing Regulation and that, for the years 2014 to 2017, the total amount claimed has not reached that maximum amount. Accordingly, an allocation coefficient lower than 100 % has to be set for the years 2012 and 2013 and an allocation coefficient of 100 % for the years 2014 to 2017.
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:
Article 1
On the basis of the notifications made by Member States by 1 July 2012 in accordance with Article 38(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, the allocation coefficients and the resulting total available Union contribution per Member State for the years 2012 to 2017 shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 28 August 2012.
For the Commission
The President
José Manuel Barroso
