Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1786
of 7 October 2016
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 as regards declarations of expenditure for rural development programmes
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008, and in particular Article 36(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 36(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 provides that Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council is to apply to interim payments for rural development programmes. Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 lays down the rules on the interruption of a payment deadline. Article 22 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 establishes how to declare expenditure for each rural development programme. To ensure consistency with the provisions of Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, Article 22(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 should refer only to the possibility for the authorising officer by sub-delegation to request additional information and interrupt the corresponding time limit for interim payment where a declaration of expenditure is incomplete or the Commission needs clarifications due to incomplete information, inconsistencies or differences of interpretations.
(2)
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
