Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/286
of 17 February 2017
amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 as regards livestock farmers in earthquake-stricken regions of Italy
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007(1), and in particular Article 219(1) in conjunction with Article 228 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613(2) was adopted to address market disturbance in the milk sector due to worldwide supply-demand imbalance, and in other livestock sectors, in particular the pigmeat, beef and veal, and sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors, which were equally experiencing market difficulties.
(2) The earthquake that struck central Italy on 24 August 2016 caused a high level of human and material damage resulting in an exceptionally severe market disturbance in the earthquake-stricken regions which are predominantly mountainous areas suffering from structural handicaps in which livestock farming has a significant economic and social importance. As the region continues to be hit by aftershocks and new earthquakes, recourse to financial aid provided for by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 has become even more crucial for Italy.
(3) As the amount allocated to Italy under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 will only compensate for a limited amount of the actual loss suffered by livestock farmers in earthquake-stricken regions, it is appropriate to provide for Italy to grant additional support to those farmers by further topping-up its Union aid.
(4) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613 set a deadline of 30 September 2017 for the corresponding expenditure to be made in order for those payments to be eligible for Union aid, without knowing at that time that the particular situation in Italy's earthquake-stricken regions would continue to deteriorate. It is therefore appropriate to postpone that deadline for the relevant expenditure to be made to a later date.
(5) It is equally appropriate to postpone the deadline for Italy to notify the total amounts paid per measure, the number and type of beneficiaries, and the assessment of the effectiveness of the measure.
(6) In order to ensure that livestock farmers in Italy's earthquake-stricken regions receive the aid as soon as possible, provision should be made for Italy to apply the rules laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1613, as amended by this Regulation, without delay. Therefore, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication,
