Use of the logo shall be monitored by a public authority or a body approved by the competent national authorities.

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 33, regarding the conditions for exercising the right to use the logo and for reproducing and using it. Those conditions shall be set to improve awareness of high-quality agricultural products from the outermost regions and to increase the consumption thereof, regardless of whether those products are processed or non-processed.

The Commission shall adopt implementing acts regarding the detailed rules concerning the use of the logo and the minimum characteristics for the checks and monitoring which the Member States shall perform. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 34(2).

Notwithstanding Article 39(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, the maximum annual amounts eligible for Union aid, as set out in Annex I to that Regulation, may be increased up to twofold in the case of the measure to protect lakes in the Azores and the measure to preserve the landscape, biodiversity and traditional features of agricultural land and the conservation of stone walls in the outermost regions.

A description of the measures planned under paragraph 1 of this Article shall be included, where appropriate, in the programmes for these regions referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.

For the agricultural products covered by Annex I to the Treaty, to which Articles 107, 108 and 109 thereof apply, the Commission may authorise, in accordance with Article 108 of the Treaty, operating aid in the sectors producing, processing and marketing those products, with a view to alleviating the specific constraints on farming in the outermost regions as a result of their isolation, insularity and extreme remoteness.

Member States may grant additional financing for the implementation of POSEI programmes. In such cases, the Member States shall notify the Commission of the State aid and the Commission may approve it in accordance with this Regulation as part of those programmes. Aid thus notified shall be regarded as notified within the meaning of the first sentence of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.

France may grant the sugar sector in the French outermost regions aid of up to EUR 90 million per marketing year.

France shall inform the Commission within 30 days of the end of each marketing year of the amount of aid actually granted.

The Member States shall submit programmes to the Commission for the control of organisms harmful to plants or plant products in the outermost regions. The programmes shall specify in particular the objectives to be achieved, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost.

The Commission shall evaluate the programmes submitted. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts to approve or not approve those programmes. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 34(2).

The Union shall contribute to the financing of the programmes provided for in paragraph 1 on the basis of a technical analysis of the regional situations.

Measures referred to in Articles 103v, 103w, 103x and 182a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall not apply to the Azores and Madeira.

Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 120a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, grapes from the vine varieties referred to in point (b) of that subparagraph, and harvested in the Azores and Madeira, may be used for the production of wine which must remain within those regions.

Portugal shall gradually cease harvesting the parcels planted using the vine varieties referred to in point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 120a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 with, if necessary, the supports provided for in Article 103q of that Regulation.

By way of derogation from Article 85f of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the transitional planting rights regime shall apply to the Canary Islands until 31 December 2012.

For the purposes of distributing the surplus levy referred to in Article 79 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, only producers who, within the meaning of Article 65(c) of that Regulation, established and producing in the Azores, market quantities exceeding their reference quantity increased by the percentage referred to in the third subparagraph of this paragraph shall be deemed to have contributed to the overrun.

The surplus levy shall be due on quantities exceeding the quota thus increased by the percentage referred to in the third subparagraph, after reallocation of the unused quantities within the margin resulting from this increase among all the producers within the meaning of Article 65(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 established and producing in the Azores, and in proportion to the reference quantity available to each producer.

The percentage referred to in the first subparagraph shall be equal to the ratio between the quantity of 23 000 tonnes from the 2005/2006 marketing year onwards and the total of the reference quantities available on each holding on 31 March 2010. It shall apply only to the quota available on 31 March 2010.

The quantities of milk or milk equivalent marketed which exceed the quota but which comply with the percentage referred to in the third subparagraph of paragraph 1, after the reallocation referred to in that same paragraph, shall not be taken into account in establishing any overrun by Portugal as calculated in accordance with Article 66 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

The surplus levy scheme applicable to producers of milk provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall not apply in the French overseas departments or, within the limit of local production of 4 000 tonnes of milk, in Madeira.

Notwithstanding Article 114(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the production in Madeira and in the French overseas department of Réunion of UHT milk reconstituted from milk powder originating in the Union shall be authorised within the limits of local consumption requirements, provided that this measure does not hinder the collection or disposal of locally produced milk. If France demonstrates the expediency of such a measure for the French overseas departments of Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt, where necessary, delegated acts, in accordance with Article 33, in order to extend this measure to those departments. This product shall be used for local consumption only.

The method by which the UHT milk thus reconstituted has been obtained shall be clearly indicated on the sales labelling.

Until the local numbers of young male bovines reach a level sufficient to ensure the maintenance and development of local beef production in the French overseas departments and Madeira, the possibility shall be introduced of importing bovine animals from third countries for fattening and consumption in the French overseas departments and Madeira, without applying import duties under the Common Customs Tariff. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts regarding the measures necessary to implement this subparagraph and more specifically the means for introducing the exemption from import duties in respect of the young male bovines introduced into the French overseas departments and Madeira. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 34(2).

Article 13 and Article 14(1) shall apply to animals qualifying for the exemption referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph.

The numbers of animals qualifying for the exemption referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined in the POSEI programmes, if the need to import is justified, in view of developments in local production. Priority for such animals shall be given to producers keeping animals for fattening at least 50 % of which are of local origin.

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 33, laying down the conditions for the exemption from import duties. Those conditions shall take into account the specific local features of the beef sector and industry.

Where Article 52 and Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 are applied, Portugal may reduce the component of the national ceiling corresponding to sheep and goat payments and suckler cow premium rights. In this case, the Commission shall adopt implementing acts regarding the relevant amount to be transferred from the ceilings established in accordance with Article 52 and Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 to the financial allocation referred to in the second indent of Article 30(2) of this Regulation. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 34(2).
