Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/256
of 14 February 2017
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the national support programmes in the wine sector
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, and in particular points (a), (c) and (e) of Article 54 thereof,
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 point (a) of Article 62(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 1(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 provides that the draft support programme referred to in Article 41(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has to refer to the five financial years 2014 to 2018. In order to ensure continuity between support programmes, a new five-year draft support programme for the financial years 2019 to 2023 should be established. Having regard to the fact that the current Multiannual Financial Framework provides for the financing of the Common Agricultural Policy until 2020, it is necessary to provide for a reservation on the availability of funds as of 2021. For the sake of consistency, it is necessary to set out models as regards the submission of national support programmes for the period 2019 to 2023.
(2)
In Articles 4(3) and 5(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150, it is appropriate to replace the term ‘beneficiary’ with the term ‘applicant’ since these provisions refer to the application procedure. Furthermore, the latter term should be added in Article 30(1) and (2)(a) since these provisions concern, among others, administrative checks on applications for support.
(3)
Furthermore, it is appropriate to amend Annexes I to V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 to align the names of the measures to the wording used in the enacting terms of that Regulation and, on the promotion measure, to further detail the information requested to the Member States also for the programming period 2014 to 2018.
(4)
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
