COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/71
of 9 November 2018
amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (1), and in particular Article 58(7) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payment 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 (2), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
According to Article 11(1) and without prejudice to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, Member States shall reduce the amount of direct payments to be granted to a farmer for a given calendar, pursuant to Chapter 1 of Title III of that Regulation, by at least 5 % for the part of the amount exceeding EUR 150 000. In accordance with Article 7(2) of that Regulation, the estimated product of reduction shall be made available as additional support for measures under rural development.
(2)
Lithuania notified the Commission by 1 August 2018 both of its decision to reduce the amount of direct payments and the estimated product of reduction for the calendar year 2019.
(3)
It is therefore necessary to adapt Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 and Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 so that the annual net ceilings for direct payments reflect the decision taken by Lithuania. It is also necessary to adapt Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 so that the annual breakdown by Member State of the Union support for rural development equally reflects that decision.
(4)
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Article 2
Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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, 9 November 2018.
