         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 615/2014
   of 6 June 2014
   laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council in respect of work programmes to support the olive oil and table olives sectors
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   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 (1), and in particular, Articles 57(2), 58(4), 62(2), 63(5), 64(7) and 66(4) 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 Article 31 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 lays down the rules for programmes to support the olive oil and table olives sector. To ensure the smooth operation and uniform application of the new legal framework established by this Regulation, the Commission has been granted the power to adopt implementing acts establishing the measures necessary for its implementation in respect of the relevant work programmes. These implementing acts are to replace the rules laid down by Regulation (EC) No 867/2008, repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 611/2014 (3).

               (2)

               To enable producer Member States to introduce measures to manage the olive oil and table olive sector aid scheme, procedures need to be established concerning work programmes and amendments to them, the disbursement of EU financing, including advances, the amounts of securities to be lodged, checks, inspection reports, corrections and penalties in the event of irregularities or negligence in the implementation of the work programmes.

               (3)

               To ensure the financing available to each Member State is used appropriately, a procedure should be laid down for the annual amendment of the work programmes approved for the following year, so as to take into account any duly justified changes compared with initial conditions. Member States should also be able to stipulate the conditions required to amend the work programmes and redistribute the amounts allocated without exceeding the annual amounts withheld by producer Member States pursuant to Article 29(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. In the event of amendments to a work programme and with a view to enabling flexibility in the implementation of the work programmes, the deadline for submission of requests needs to be set.

               (4)

               To enable beneficiary olive oil producer organisations to start implementing the work programmes in a timely fashion, provision should be made for them to receive, subject to the lodging of a security under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, an advance of a maximum of 90 % of the EU contribution planned for each year concerned by the approved work programme. The arrangements for the payment of this advance need to be laid down.

               (5)

               Provision should be made that requests for financing must be submitted by recognised producer organisations, associations of recognised producer organisations and recognised interbranch organisations (hereinafter, ‘beneficiary organisations’) to the Member State's paying agency in accordance with a precise time schedule. It should also be stipulated that the request must be drawn up in accordance with a model to be provided by the competent authority and be accompanied by documentary evidence of the implementation of the work programmes and expenditure incurred. It should be established that the Member State paying agency shall disburse the financing and release the security after completion of the entire work programme, verifying the documentary evidence and checks.

               (6)

               In order to ensure sound management of the work programmes, the Member States concerned should establish plans for on-the-spot checks of a sample of beneficiary organisations selected on the basis of a risk analysis and must check that the conditions for granting EU financing have been fulfilled. Provision should be made for a detailed inspection report to be drawn up for each on-the-spot check. In addition, Member States must be required to establish a suitable system of corrections and penalties for irregularities enabling the recovery of any amount unduly paid plus interest, where appropriate.

               (7)

               To ensure the implementation of work programmes and their development is monitored throughout the period of implementation, beneficiary organisations should draw up a report of their activities and forward it to the national authorities of the Member States concerned. Provision should also be made for these reports to be forwarded to the Commission.

               (8)

               In order to increase the overall impact of the work programmes carried out in the area of market follow-up and administrative management in the olive oil and table olives sector, provision should be made for beneficiary organisations and Member States to publish on their internet sites the results of the measures undertaken.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         7.   If the competent authority does not issue any objections based on non-compliance with the conditions indicated in paragraph 6 within one month of notification of the amendment of the measure, the amendment shall be deemed to have been accepted.
   Article 3

   2.   If a measure has not been implemented in conformity with a work programme, the beneficiary organisation shall be ineligible for financing for the measure in question.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2081
   of 18 November 2015
   opening and providing for the administration of import tariff quotas for certain cereals originating in Ukraine
   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 (1), and in particular Article 187(a) and (c) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Council Decision No 2014/668/EU (2), the Council authorised the signature, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Ukraine, on the other. Title IV of the Agreement provides, in particular, for the reduction or removal of customs duties on goods from Ukraine in accordance with Annex I-A to the Agreement. Annex I-A to the Agreement provides, in particular, for the opening of tariff quotas for imports of certain cereals into the EU. Title IV of and Annex I-A to the Agreement shall apply provisionally from 1 January 2016.

               (2)

               Consequently, tariff quotas for imports of cereals should be opened as from 2016. In addition, the Commission should administer some of these tariff quotas according to the method referred to in Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (3)

               To ensure that imports of cereals originating in Ukraine within these tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. Therefore Commission Regulations (EC) No 1301/2006 (3), (EC) No 1342/2003 (4) and (EC) No 376/2008 (5) should apply, without prejudice to any derogations provided for by this Regulation.

               (4)

               To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for the submission of import licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in applications and licences should be specified.

               (5)

               In the interests of efficient administration, when notifying the Commission, Member States should use the information systems provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (6).

               (6)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (7) replaced the CN codes of the cereals referred to in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (8) with new codes that differ from the codes referred to in the Association Agreement. The Annex to this Regulation should therefore refer to the new CN codes.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

   2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission, by electronic means, on the day of issue of the import licences, the information on the licences issued as referred to in Article 11(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, with the total quantities by CN code for which import licences have been issued.
   Article 5
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

   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 (1), and in particular Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               An Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Federative Republic of Brazil pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedule of the Republic of Croatia in the course of its accession to the European Union (2) (‘the Agreement’) was signed on 25 November 2016. Its signature on behalf of the European Union was authorised by Council Decision (EU) 2016/1995 (3) and its conclusion by Council Decision (EU) 2017/730 (4).

               (2)

               Under the terms of the Agreement, the European Union is to allocate an additional 78 000 tonnes to the present allocation for Brazil under the EU tariff rate quota ‘Raw Cane sugar, for refining’, tariff item 1701.13.10 and 1701.14.10, maintaining the present in quota rate of EUR 98 per tonne, and to allocate an additional 36 000 tonnes to the present allocation under the ‘Any third country’ part of the EU tariff rate quota ‘Raw Cane sugar, for refining’, tariff item 1701.13.10 and 1701.14.10, maintaining the present in quota rate of EUR 98 per tonne.

               (3)

               As regards the volume of 78 000 tonnes allocated to Brazil under the EU tariff rate quota, the Agreement further provides that the European Union is to autonomously apply an in quota rate of no more than EUR 11 per tonne for the first six years during which this volume is available and an in quota rate of no more than EUR 54 per tonne in the seventh year.

               (5)

               The proposed amendments should apply from the date of entry into force of the Agreement.

               (6)
