COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/791
of 19 May 2022
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 as regards the notification of levels of stocks of cereals, oilseeds and rice
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 223(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 (2) lays down the rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as regards the obligations on Member States to notify relevant information and documents to the Commission. |
|
(2) |
Ensuring the quality of the collected and disseminated data is essential to monitor and ensure adequate market transparency. Member States are therefore obliged to notify the Commission of the data needed to pursue these aims. |
|
(3) |
While it remains the responsibility of the Member States to take the necessary steps to ensure that information notified is relevant to the market concerned, accurate and complete, the Commission is to make use of its sectoral expertise to determine which data are to be published in the cases where Member States have not notified the required information. |
|
(4) |
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and the resulting disruptions in world market shed light on a series of information gaps. Up-to-date information on levels of stocks of cereals, oilseeds and rice, including production and levels of stocks of certified seeds, held by producers, wholesalers and relevant operators revealed itself to be essential to decide on relevant measures to prevent and mitigate market disruptions. Reporting obligations should thus be extended to this information. |
|
(5) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
In view of the fact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine already has impact on trade and prices of cereals, oilseeds and rice, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Member States should however be given sufficient time to develop the methodologies and operational systems to collect the required information, therefore the new provisions concerning notifications set out in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 should apply from July 2022. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 is amended as follows:
|

In all cases, the Commission shall decide whether the default value shall be published, and/or replaced by a Commission estimate or by the mention of a failure to notice.’; |
|
(2) |
Annex III is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. |
Article 2
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
