# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 of 13 March 2017 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors and supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to penalties to be applied in those sectors and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, Article 30: Relationship with rural development, State aid and promotion programmes

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. Where support under the relevant authority’s rural development programme or programmes has been granted to operations which are identical to actions that would be potentially eligible under Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the appropriate authority for the constituent nation concerned shall ensure that a beneficiary may receive support for a given action only under one scheme.
Where the relevant authority includes such operations in its rural development programme or programmes, it shall ensure that the strategy referred to in Article 36(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 indicates the safeguards, provisions and checks put in place to avoid double funding of the same action or operation.
2. Producer organisations or associations of producer organisations which have been granted the support provided in Article 27 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 or Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 702/2014 may implement an operational programme in the same period provided that the appropriate authority ensures that the beneficiaries receive support for any given action only under one scheme.
3. Where applicable, and without prejudice to Article 34(1) and (3) and Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the level of support for measures covered by that Regulation shall not exceed the level applicable for the measures under the rural development programme.
4. Support for environmental actions that are identical to agri-environment-climate or organic farming commitments as referred to in Articles 28 and 29 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 respectively, shall be limited to the maximum amounts laid down in Annex II to that Regulation for agri-environment-climate payments or for organic farming payments. Those amounts may be increased in duly substantiated cases taking account of specific circumstances to be justified in the strategy referred to in Article 36(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and in the operational programmes of the producer organisations.
5. Paragraph 4 shall not apply to environmental actions which do not relate directly or indirectly to a particular parcel.
6. Where producer organisations, associations of producer organisations or interbranch organisations benefit from promotion programmes approved under Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the appropriate authorities shall ensure that a beneficiary may receive support for a given action only under one scheme.
