               laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the model forms to be used for the information to be included in the lists of recognised breed societies and breeding operations

               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on zootechnical and genealogical conditions for the breeding, trade in and entry into the Union of purebred breeding animals, hybrid breeding pigs and the germinal products thereof and amending Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, Council Directives 89/608/EEC and 90/425/EEC and repealing certain acts in the area of animal breeding (‘Animal Breeding Regulation’)
                  1
               , and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Article 7(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that Member States are to draw up and keep up-to-date a list of breed societies and breeding operations that their competent authorities have recognised in accordance with Article 4(3) of that Regulation and which implement at least one breeding programme that has been approved in accordance with Article 8(3) of that Regulation. Moreover, Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that Member States are to make that list available to the public.

               (2)Articles 7(2) and 19(5) of and point 2 of Chapter III of Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 specify the information to be included in the list of recognised breed societies and breeding operations.

               (3)In addition, Article 7(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 provides that Member States are also to include in the list of recognised breed societies and breeding operations any competent authority which carries out a breeding programme in accordance with Article 38 of that Regulation.

               (4)Therefore, it is necessary to establish model forms to be used by Member States for the listing of breed societies for purebred breeding animals of the bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine and equine species and breeding operations for hybrid breeding pigs recognised by their competent authorities in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/1012.

               (5)Taking into account the role of Member States in recognising a breed as an endangered breed, in accordance with the definition set out in Article 2(24) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012, it is necessary to include that information in the lists of recognised breed societies provided for in that Regulation.

               (6)To facilitate trade in breeding animals and the official controls carried out by competent authorities, it is also necessary to indicate in the list of recognised breed societies and breeding operations provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 the dates when recognition was granted or withdrawn, taking into account the provisions of Article 64(4) of that Regulation, or when approval of a breeding programme was given, suspended or withdrawn.

               (7)This Regulation should be applicable from 1 November 2018 in accordance with the date of application provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/1012.

               (8)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               Article 1

               The information to be included in the lists of recognised breed societies and breeding operations provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 shall be presented in accordance with the model forms set out in the Annex 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.

               It shall apply from 1 November 2018.

               This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

               COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...

               of 20.4.2017

               laying down rules for the application of Regulations (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards notifications to the Commission of information and documents and amending and repealing several Commission Regulations

               (Text with EEA relevance)

               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009
                  1
                and in particular Article 67(3) thereof,

               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
                  2
               , and in particular Articles 126 and 151 and Article 223(3) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Regulations (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 have repealed and replaced Council Regulations (EC) No 73/2009
                  3
                and (EC) No 1234/2007
                  4
                respectively. Regulations (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 and the acts adopted on the basis of those Regulations lay down a wide range of obligations to notify information and documents to the Commission. Those regulations also empower the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth notification of information and documents by Member States to the Commission, certain rules have to be adopted by means of such acts. Those acts should replace the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009
                  5
               , which is repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/xxx
                  6
               .

               (2)The method to be used to notify the information and documents required to meet the notification obligations laid down in Regulations (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 as supplemented by Delegated Regulation 2017/xxx, should be laid down and exceptions to that notification method should be specified.

               (3)For documents to be recognised as valid for the Commission's purposes it should be possible to guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility of the documents and the associated metadata throughout the period for which they are required to be kept.

               (4)Documents must be managed in accordance with the personal data protection rules. To that end, the general rules laid down by Union legislation, notably Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  7
               , Regulations (EC) No 45/2001
                  8
                and (EC) No 1049/2001
                  9
                of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  10
                should apply, and further provisions should be laid down to guide Member States.

               (5)It is important that information notified is of relevance to the market concerned, accurate and complete and Member States should put in place arrangements to ensure this, including the necessary measures to ensure that economic operators provide them with the required information within appropriate time limits.

               (6)For the sake of simplification and reduction of administrative burden, when a Member State has not sent a notification, this should be interpreted by the Commission as a nil notification by the Member State.

               (7)Member States may notify additional information that is relevant to the market beyond what is required by this Regulation. The Commission shall make available, through the information system, the necessary form for the transmission of such information.

               (8)Information on product prices and production and market information is required for the purpose of monitoring, analysing and managing the market in agricultural products and for the purpose of applying Regulation (EU) 1308/2013. It is accordingly appropriate that rules concerning the notification of this information are laid down.

               (9)In order to simplify and facilitate access to rules concerning notification obligations, it is appropriate to incorporate in this Regulation the provisions regarding notifications from Member States to the Commission on the data on agricultural markets, particularly prices, production and balance sheet data, currently laid down in Commission Regulations (EC) No 315/2002

                  27
               . Those notification obligations should be updated in the light of acquired experience and for a more effective management of the Common Agricultural Policy.

               (10)In order to have a comprehensive picture of price data notified and to follow trends, it is appropriate to require that each price series is defined.

In order to comply with these requirements, the Union requires certain information from Member States, notably information relating to domestic support and export competition. Provisions concerning the notifications to be made by Member States to the Commission for these purposes should therefore be laid down.

               (13)The provisions on notifications in the sugar sector should apply from 1 October 2017 in order to provide for a smooth transition with the ending of the quota system.
