         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/7
   of 5 January 2016
   establishing the standard form for the European Single Procurement Document
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC (1), and in particular Article 59(2) thereof, and to Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Article 80(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               One of the major objectives of Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU is the lessening the administrative burdens of contracting authorities, contracting entities and economic operators, not least small and medium-sized enterprises. A key element of that effort is the European single procurement document (ESPD). The standard form for the ESPD should consequently be drafted in such a manner that the need to produce a substantial number of certificates or other documents related to exclusion and selection criteria is obviated. With the same objective in mind, the standard form should also provide the relevant information in respect of entities on whose capacities an economic operator relies, so that the verification of that information can be carried out together with the verification in respect of the main economic operator and on the same conditions.

               (2)

               The ESPD should also be available for use by contracting entities which are subject to Directive 2014/25/EU and which, when applying the exclusion and selection criteria provided for under Directive 2014/24/EU, must do so in the same way and under the same conditions as contracting authorities.

               (3)

               To avoid administrative burdens for the contracting authorities and contracting entities and possible contradictory indications in the different procurement documents, the information which economic operators must provide in the ESPD should be clearly indicated by the contracting authorities and contracting entities in advance in the call for competition or through references therein to other parts of the procurement documents, which the economic operators must in any case examine carefully in view of their participation and possible submission of tenders.

               (4)

               The ESPD should also contribute to further simplification for both economic operators and contracting authorities and entities by replacing various and diverging national self-declarations with one standard form established at the European level. This should also help to reduce problems linked to the precise drafting of formal statements and declarations of consent as well as language issues, since the standard form will be available in the official languages. The ESPD should thereby facilitate an increased cross-border participation in public procurement procedures.

               (5)

               Any processing and exchange of data to be performed in connection with the ESPD should be performed in accordance with the national rules implementing Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), and in particular with national rules applicable to the processing of data relating to offences, criminal convictions or security measures under Article 8(5) of said Directive.

               (6)

               It should be recalled that the Commission shall review the practical application of the ESPD taking into account the technical development of databases in the Member States and report thereon to the European Parliament and the Council by 18 April 2017. In so doing, the Commission may also take into consideration possible suggestions to improve its functionality in view of enhancing the possibilities of cross-border participation in public procurement, not least for SMEs, or potential simplifications within the framework set out by Directive 2014/24/EU; it may as well consider possible issues relating to practices of systematic requests of certificates or other forms of documentary evidence of all participants in a given procurement procedure or practices consisting in identifying in a discriminatory manner the economic operators to be requested such documentation.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Public Procurement,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   From the moment the national measures implementing Directive 2014/24/EU enter into force, and at the latest from 18 April 2016, the standard form set out in Annex 2 to this Regulation shall be used for the purposes of drawing up the European single procurement document referred to in Article 59 of Directive 2014/24/EU. Instructions for its use are set out in Annex 1 to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 5 January 2016.

      ANNEX 1

         Instructions

      The ESPD is a self-declaration by economic operators providing preliminary evidence replacing the certificates issued by public authorities or third parties. As provided in Article 59 of Directive 2014/24/EU, it is a formal statement by the economic operator that it is not in one of the situations in which economic operators shall or may be excluded; that it meets the relevant selection criteria and that, where applicable, it fulfils the objective rules and criteria that have been set out for the purpose of limiting the number of otherwise qualified candidates to be invited to participate. Its objective is to reduce the administrative burden arising from the requirement to produce a substantial number of certificates or other documents related to exclusion and selection criteria.
      To facilitate the task for economic operators when filling in an ESPD, Member States may issue guidance on the use of the ESPD, for instance to explain which provisions of national law are pertinent in relation to Part III, Section A (1), that official lists of approved economic operators or equivalent certificates might not be established or issued in a given Member State, or to specify which references and information must be given to enable contracting authorities or contracting entities to retrieve a given certificate electronically.
      When preparing the procurement documents for a given procurement procedure, contracting authorities and contracting entities must indicate in the call for competition, in procurement documents referred to in the call for competition or in the invitations to confirm interest which information they will require from the economic operators, including an explicit statement as to whether the information set out under Parts II and III (2) should or should not be provided in respect of subcontractors on whose capacities the economic operator does not rely (3). They may also make the task easier for economic operators by indicating this information directly in an electronic version of the ESPD, for instance by using the ESPD service https://webgate.acceptance.ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/ecertis2/resources/espd/index.html (4) that Commission Services will make available, free of charge, for contracting authorities, contracting entities, economic operators, providers of electronic services and other interested parties.
      Tenders in open procedures and requests for participation in restricted procedures, competitive procedures with negotiations, competitive dialogues or innovation partnerships, must be accompanied by the ESPD, which economic operators have completed in order to deliver the required information (5). Except in relation to certain contracts based on framework agreements, the tenderer to whom it is intended to award the contract will have to provide up to date certificates and supporting documents.
      Member States may regulate or leave it to contracting authorities and contracting entities to decide whether to use the ESPD also as part of procurement procedures not or not fully subject to the detailed procedural rules of Directives 2014/24/EU or 2014/25/EU, for instance for procurement below the relevant thresholds or procurements subject to the particular rules applicable to social and other specific services (the ‘light regime’) (6). Similarly, Member States may regulate or leave it to contracting authorities and contracting entities to decide whether to use the ESPD also in connection with the award of concessions contracts, whether or not subject to the provisions of Directive 2014/23/EU (7).
      The contracting authority or contracting entity may ask any tenderer at any moment during the procedure to submit all or part of the required certificates and supporting documents where this is necessary to ensure the proper conduct of the procedure.
      Economic operators may be excluded from the procurement procedure or be subject to prosecution under national law in cases of serious misrepresentation in filling in the ESPD or, generally, in supplying the information required for the verification of the absence of grounds for exclusion or the fulfilment of the selection criteria, or where such information is withheld or the economic operators are unable to submit the supporting documents.
      Economic operators may reuse the information that has been provided in an ESPD which has already been used in a previous procurement procedure as long as the information remains correct and continues to be pertinent. The easiest way to do so is by inserting the information in the new ESPD through use of the appropriate functionalities that are provided to that effect in the above-mentioned electronic ESPD-service. Of course, reuse of information through other forms of copy-paste of information, for instance information stored in the economic operator's IT-equipment (PCs, tablets, servers …), will also be possible.
      According to the second subparagraph of Article 59(2) of Directive 2014/24/EU, the ESPD shall be provided exclusively in electronic form; however, this may be postponed until 18 April 2018 at the latest (8). This means that both fully electronic and paper-based versions of the ESPD may co-exist until 18 April 2018 at the latest. The just-mentioned ESPD-service will allow economic operators to fill in their ESPD electronically in all cases, thus enabling them to draw the full advantages of the facilities offered (not least of reusing information). For use in procurement procedures in which use of electronic means of communication has been postponed (also possible until 18 April 2018 at the latest), the ESPD service allows economic operators to print their electronically filled-in ESPD as a paper document which can then be transmitted to the contracting authority or contracting entity by other means of communication than electronic ones (9).
      As mentioned earlier, the ESPD consists of a formal statement by the economic operator that the relevant grounds for exclusion do not apply, that the relevant selection criteria are fulfilled and that it will provide the relevant information as required by the contracting authority or contracting entity.
      Where procurements are divided into lots and selection criteria (10) vary from lot to lot, an ESPD should be filled in for each lot (or group of lots with the same selection criteria).
      The ESPD further identifies the public authority or third party responsible for establishing the supporting documents (11) and contains a formal statement to the effect that the economic operator will be able, upon request and without delay, to provide those supporting documents.
      Contracting authorities or contracting entities may choose or may be required (12) by Member States to limit the information required on selection criteria to a single question whether, yes or no, economic operators meet all the required selection criteria. While this may be followed up by requests for further information and/or documentation, care should be taken to avoid imposing excessive administrative burdens on economic operators through systematic requests of certificates or other forms of documentary evidence of all participants in a given procurement procedure or practices consisting in identifying in a discriminatory manner the economic operators to be requested such documentation.
      The obligations for the contracting authorities and contracting entities to obtain the documentation concerned directly by accessing a national database in any Member State that is available free of charge also applies where the information initially requested on selection criteria has been limited to a yes or no answer. If such electronic documentation is requested, economic operators will therefore provide the contracting authority or contracting entity with the information needed to obtain the documentation concerned when the selection criteria are being checked rather than directly in the ESPD.
      Where an extract from the relevant register, for example judicial records, is available electronically to the contracting authority or contracting entity, the economic operator can state where the information can be found (i.e. the name of the repository, internet address, identification of the file or record etc.) so that the contracting authority or contracting entity may retrieve this information. By indicating this information, the economic operator agrees that the contracting authority or contracting entity may retrieve the relevant documentation subject to the national rules implementing Directive 95/46/EC
          (13)
         on the processing of personal data, and in particular of special categories of data such as on offences, criminal convictions or security measures.
      In accordance with Article 64 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, economic operators which are registered on official lists of approved economic operators or possess a relevant certification by bodies established under public or private law may, in respect of the information required under Parts III to V, submit to the contracting authority or contracting entity the certificate of registration issued by the competent authority or the certificate issued by the competent certification body.
      An economic operator participating on its own and which does not rely on the capacities of other entities in order to meet the selection criteria, must fill out one ESPD.
      An economic operator participating on its own but relying on the capacities of one or more other entities must ensure that the contracting authority or contracting entity receives its own ESPD together with a separate ESPD setting out the relevant information (14) for each of the entities it relies on.
      Finally, where groups of economic operators, including temporary associations, participate together in the procurement procedure, a separate ESPD setting out the information required under Parts II to V must be given for each of the participating economic operators.
      In all cases where more than one person is member of the administrative, management or supervisory body of an economic operator or has powers of representation, decision or control therein, each may have to sign the same ESPD, depending on national rules, including those governing data protection.
      Concerning the signature(s) of the ESPD, please note that a signature on the ESPD might not be necessary where the ESPD is transmitted as part of a set of documents, whose authenticity and integrity is ensured through the required signature(s) of the means of transmission (15).
      For procurement procedures in which a call for competition has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the information required under Part I will be automatically retrieved, provided that the above-mentioned electronic ESPD-service is used to generate and fill in the ESPD.

         If there is no call for competition in the OJEU, then the contracting authority or contracting entity must fill in the information allowing the procurement procedure to be unequivocally identified. All other information in all sections of the ESPD is to be filled in by the economic operator
      The ESPD includes the following Parts and Sections:

                  —

                     Part I. Information concerning the procurement procedure and the contracting authority or contracting entity.

                  —

                     Part VI. Concluding statements.

         (1)  For instance that economic operators having been convicted under Articles x, y and z of the national penal code must state so when filling in the information concerning convictions for participation in a criminal organisation or money laundering …

         (2)  Information concerning exclusion grounds.

         (3)  Cf. the third subparagraph of Article 71(5) of Directive 2014/24/EU and the third subparagraph of Article 88(5) of Directive 2014/25/EU

         (4)  This is the link to the preliminary version under development. When available, the link to the full production version will be inserted or made available otherwise.

         (5)  The situation is more complex in respect of negotiated procedures without prior publication, provided for under Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 50 of Directive 2014/25/EU as these provisions apply to very different realities.
      Requesting an ESPD would constitute an unnecessary administrative burden or be otherwise inappropriate 1) where only one, predetermined participant is possible (for the two Directives, respectively Article 32, paragraph 2(b), paragraph 3(b), paragraph 3 (d) and paragraph 5 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 50, letters (c), (e), (f) and (i) of Directive 2014/25/EU and 2) because of the urgency involved (respectively Article 32(2)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 50, letters (d) and (h) of Directive 2014/25/EU or because of the particular characteristics of the transaction for supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market (Article 32(3)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 50, letter (g) of Directive 2014/25/EU.
      On the other hand, the ESPD would play its role in full and should be requested in the remaining cases, which are characterised by the possible participation of more than one participants and the absence of urgency or particular characteristics linked to the transaction; such is the case in respect of Article 32, paragraph 2(a), paragraph 3(a) and paragraph 4 of Directive 2014/24/EU and Article 50, letters (a), (b) and (j) of Directive 2014/25/EU.

         (6)  Articles 74 to 77 and 91 to 94 of, respectively, Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU.

         (7)  Directive 2014/23/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the award of concession contracts, OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 1.

         (8)  Cf. Article 90(3) of Directive 2014/24/EU.

         (9)  They will also be able to generate their ESPD as a pdf-file which can be electronically transmitted as an attachment. To be able subsequently to reuse the information, economic operators should save the filled-in ESPD in an appropriate electronic format (such as .xml).

         (10)  This might be the case for the minimum required turnover, which in such cases must be determined in function of the maximum estimated value of the single lots.

         (11)  Unless the contracting authorities or contracting entities have indicated that general information (‘yes’/‘no’) on meeting the requirements will be sufficient in the first instance. See below for more explanations on this option.

         (12)  Such requirements may be general or limited to certain situations only, e.g. only in open procedures or, for two stage procedures, only when all candidates meeting the minimum requirements will be invited to participate.

         (13)  Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, OJ L 281, 23.11.1995, p. 31.

         (14)  See Part II, Section C

         (15)  For instance: if the tender and the accompanying ESPD in an open procedure are transmitted by an e-mail which is provided with an electronic signature of the required type, then additional signature(s) on the ESPD might not be necessary. The use of an e-Signature on the ESPD might also not be necessary, when the ESPD is integrated in an e-Procurement platform and e-authentication is required in order to use that platform.

         (16)  Pursuant to Article 80(2) of Directive 2014/25/EU, contracting entities, whether or not they are contracting authorities, may decide to apply the selection criteria provided for in Article 58 of Directive 2014/24/EU (Part IV, Sections A, B and C).

         (17)  Use of the ESPD by contracting entities in respect of requirements connected with quality assurance schemes and environmental management standards (Part IV, Section D) is not explicitly provided for under Directive 2014/25/EU, but should nevertheless be allowed for practical reasons, as Articles 62 and 81 of, respectively, Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU are substantially the same.

         (18)  Pursuant to Articles 77(2) and 78(1) of Directive 2014/25/EU, contracting entities shall select participants on the basis of objective rules and criteria. As described above, these criteria may in some case be those provided for in Directive 2014/24/EU or involve substantially identical provisions (see footnote 16). However, the objective rules and criteria may also be specific to a given contracting entity or a specific procurement procedure. Such cases can, however, not be covered in a standard form.

         (19)  Use of the ESPD by contracting entities in respect of the reduction of the number of qualified candidates (Part V) is not explicitly provided for under Directive 2014/25/EU, but should nevertheless be allowed for practical reasons, as both Articles 65 and 78(2) of, respectively, Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU require that any such reduction of numbers shall be carried out in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria or rules.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1057/2011
   of 20 October 2011
   fixing the export refunds on eggs
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products referred to in Part XIX of Annex I to that Regulation and prices in the Union for those products may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               In view of the current situation on the market in eggs, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

               (4)

               Refunds should be granted only on products which are authorised to move freely within the Union and comply with requirements under Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) and of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3), as well as marking requirements under point A of Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (5)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 710/2011 (4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (6)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (1), and in particular Article 91 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2), and in particular Article 142(c) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system, under the direct support schemes for farmers provided for that Regulation, as well as for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards cross-compliance under the support scheme provided for the wine sector (3) provides, in its Article 23(1), for reductions to be applied in the case of late submission of an aid application as well as documents, contracts or declarations which are constitutive for the eligibility for the aid.

               (2)

               According to Article 8(3) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 of 27 January 2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, as regards the implementation of control procedures as well as cross-compliance in respect of rural development support measures (4), Articles 22 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 apply mutatis mutandis to payment claims under Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011.

               (3)

               Portugal has implemented a system of single aid application which covers, pursuant to Article 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, several support schemes. In particular, applications for single payment scheme under Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, applications for ewe and goat premiums under Article 35 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards the support schemes for farmers provided for in Titles IV and V thereof (5) and certain applications for aid granted under Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 form part of the single application.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 and Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011, Portugal has fixed 15 May of the application year as the latest day until which single applications for 2011 can be submitted.

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, where the latest date for the submission of an aid application or any supporting documents, contracts or declarations under Title II of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 is a public holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday, it shall be deemed to fall on the first following working day. It follows that in 2011 single applications can be submitted at the latest until 16 May 2011 which is the first working day following 15 May 2011. More specifically as regards single applications including an application for the ewe and goat premium, such applications can be submitted at the latest until 2 May 2011 which is the first working day following 30 April 2011.

               (6)

               Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 requires Member States to ensure that agricultural parcels are reliably identified and requires the single application to be accompanied by documents identifying the parcels in order to enable the implementation of the control system.

               (7)

               In response to deficiencies related to the identification of agricultural parcels, which were regularly detected in the past, Portugal implemented an ‘Action Plan’ in liaison with the Commission. This commitment includes in particular the update of the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) in Portugal.

               (8)

               In relation to the implementation of these commitments, Portugal has increased its administrative capacity to receive aid applications and, compared to 2010, anticipated the starting date to receive aid applications to 1 February 2011.

               (9)

               However, Portugal has experienced exceptional circumstances in its administration of the single applications for 2011 as far as Mainland Portugal is concerned. In particular, due to a delayed finalisation of the photo-interpretation of 1 800 000 parcels by an external contractor, the LPIS could not be updated in line with the envisaged timetable. Farmers were thus only provided with the updated information about the parcels as of 21 February 2011.

               (10)

               Given the existing technical capacity in Portugal, which had already been enlarged in anticipation of the implementation of the ‘Action Plan’, this situation has affected the ability of applicants to submit single aid applications for Mainland Portugal within the time limits provided for in Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 and Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009.

               (11)

               These difficulties are reinforced by the fact that the application procedure in Portugal is particularly time-consuming given the corrections of reference parcels boundaries which need to be carefully checked by farmers following the update of the LPIS. Abiding by the deadlines of 16 May 2011 and 2 May 2011 respectively is therefore particularly difficult, given the overall context of the ‘Action Plan’ and the engagements taken by Portugal to improve its integrated administration and control system.

               (12)

               It is therefore appropriate not to apply the reductions provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 on grounds of late submission of single applications in respect of those farmers who created their single applications for Mainland Portugal in the electronic application system at the latest by 16 May 2011 or, in the case of the ewe and goat premium at the latest by 2 May 2011, and who finalised and submitted their application at the latest 14 calendar days after 16 May 2011 or, respectively, 2 May 2011.

               (13)

               Similarly, by way of derogation from Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 and in respect of payment claims in relation to Mainland Portugal under Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011, it is appropriate not to apply reductions on grounds of late submission of single applications which were created in the electronic application system at the latest by 16 May 2011 and were finalised and submitted at the latest 14 calendar days after 16 May 2011.

               (14)

               Since the proposed derogations should cover the single applications submitted for aid year 2011, it is appropriate that this Regulation applies retroactively.

               (15)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Rural Development Committee and the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   2.   By way of derogation from Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, where single applications for 2011 include an application for ewe and goat premium, no reductions on grounds of late submission of single applications shall apply in relation to that premium in respect of those farmers who created their single applications for Mainland Portugal in the electronic application system at the latest by 2 May 2011 and who finalised and submitted their applications at the latest 14 calendar days after 2 May 2011.
