However, Article 19 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 807/2014 provides that Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 continues to apply to operations implemented pursuant to programmes approved by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 before 1 January 2014.\n(2)\nArticle 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 sets a ceiling for transfers by Member States of EAFRD contribution between the priority axes of their rural development programmes and sets deadlines for the notification of such changes to the Commission and for the assessment of those changes by the Commission.\n(3)\nThe continued economic difficulties in Member States have significantly impacted the performance of specific priority axes within the 2007-2013 rural development programmes.\n(4)\nThe late adoption of the legal basis for the new programming period has significantly delayed the adoption of the 2014-2020 rural development programmes, further reducing the possibilities of Member States to support rural economies.\n(5)\nIn order to invest all possible resources in growth and jobs, Member States should be allowed to make use of the funds already committed under Union co-financed programmes.\n(6)\nIt is therefore appropriate to increase the flexibility for transfers between axes.\n(7)\nDelegated Regulation (EU) No 807/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
