         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 846/2014
   of 4 August 2014
   amending Annex D to Council Directive 92/65/EEC as regards the conditions for donor animals of the equine species
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 22 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the European Union of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to the animal health requirements laid down in the specific acts of the European Union referred to in that Directive.

               (2)

               Chapter I of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the conditions governing the approval and supervision of centres for the collection of semen of animals of, amongst others, the equine species. Since the collection of semen of animals of the equine species is largely seasonal, the required permanence of the supervision by a centre veterinarian, frequently being contracted by the semen collection centre, appeared to be disproportionate compared to the limited added level of confidence in the animal health guarantees. As long as supervision is guaranteed during the activities of the semen collection centre in respect of semen of animals of the equine species intended for trade the competent authorities should be allowed to establish details of that supervision during the approval process.

               (3)

               Directive 92/65/EEC also provides that semen of donor animals of the equine species must have been collected from animals meeting the conditions laid down in Chapter II(I) of Annex D to that Directive. Those conditions should be reviewed as regards donor stallions taking into account international standards for health testing set up in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals (2), and the capacity development in laboratories in the Member States.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the competent authorities may only designate laboratories to carry out the analysis of samples taken during official controls that operate and are assessed and accredited in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025.

               (5)

               In Chapter III of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC requirements applicable to, amongst others, processing of embryos are laid down. Those requirements should be reviewed taking into account international standards for processing of embryos set out in Chapter 4.7 of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (4).

               (6)

               The recent update of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC by Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2010 (5) did not sufficiently take into account the discontinuous nature of collection of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species for trade and thus frequent testing of donor stallions is unnecessarily required. Additionally, since its adoption laboratory capacities to carry out advanced, highly sensitive, but less laborious tests for contagious equine metritis and equine viral arteritis have developed.

               (7)

               Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC should be therefore amended accordingly.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   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 69(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, Member States may grant, under certain conditions, coupled support to farmers in specific agricultural sectors or types of farming, to the extent necessary to create an incentive to maintain current levels of production in the sectors or regions concerned.

               (2)

               Given the relatively high production levels and consequently depressed prices on the Union market for milk and milk products and, in particular, the resulting temporary difficulties that the dairy sector currently is confronted with, Member States should be able to decide to revise their voluntary coupled support measures targeting the milk and milk products sector for claim year 2017 in order to allow that voluntary coupled support can continue to be paid on the basis of the number of animals for which such support was accepted in 2016. Although, in the short term, such revision might seem to jeopardise one of the objectives of voluntary coupled support, i.e. maintaining current levels of production, such measures may help attaining the objectives of voluntary coupled support in the long term.

               (3)

               In view of the seriousness of the financial difficulties currently being encountered by beneficiaries, it is appropriate to use Article 69(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 to provide for a derogation from Chapter 1 of Title IV of that Regulation.

               (4)

               In order to enable the Commission to monitor the correct application of rules and the impact of such review, Member States should notify the Commission of their decision within 14 days after the date on which the decision was taken.

               (5)

               In order to ensure that the milk and milk products sector can benefit as soon as possible from the derogation provided for in this Regulation, it should enter into force on the day following that of its publication and Member States should take their decision within 30 days after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Revision of measures targeting the milk and milk products sector
   1.   For claim year 2017 Member States may decide to revise all their measures adopted pursuant to Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 targeting the milk and milk products sector.
   That revision shall consist in:

               (a)

               providing that for claim year 2017 the payment to the farmer who is entitled to receive payments in accordance with Article 9 and Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 is made on the basis of the number of animals for which that farmer was entitled to support under those measures for claim year 2016; and

               (b)

               not applying all the other applicable eligibility conditions for the measures subject to the revision.

         The decision referred to in the first subparagraph shall supersede any decision to review voluntary coupled support measures targeting the milk and milk products sector pursuant to Article 53(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013.
   2.   For each revised voluntary coupled support measure, Member States shall calculate the unit amount corresponding to the ratio between the amount fixed for the financing of the measure targeting the milk and milk products sector as notified in accordance with point (3)(i) of Annex I to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 639/2014 (2) and the total number of animals for that voluntary coupled support measure.
   The total number of animals referred to in the first subparagraph shall correspond to:

               (a)

               the total number of animals for which the payment was accepted in respect of claim year 2016; or

               (b)

               the number of animals referred to in point (a) for the farmers eligible in 2017.

         3.   The annual payment to be granted to the farmer shall correspond to the unit amount as calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 multiplied by the number of animals for which the farmer concerned was entitled to support for claim year 2016.
   Article 2
   Time limit
   The decision referred to in Article 1 shall be taken within 30 days after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   Notification
   Member States shall notify the Commission of the decision referred to in Article 1 within 14 days after the date on which that decision was taken.
   Article 4
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

The KP Chair notice requested all Participants to take actions to resume rough diamond trade with Côte d'Ivoire. The list of Participants in Annex II should therefore be revised.

               (3)

               Furthermore, the address of Cambodia's contact point in Annex II should be updated.

               (4)

               Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 should be amended accordingly.

               (5)
