COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1373/2013
of 19 December 2013
laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the pigmeat sector
(codification)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 161(3), the first paragraph of Article 170 and Article 192(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 of 28 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the pigmeat sector (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified. |
|
(2) |
Specific implementing rules should be laid down for export licences in the pigmeat sector which should in particular include provisions for the submission of applications and the information which is to appear on the applications and licences, in addition to those contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4). |
|
(3) |
In order to assure the proper administration of the system of export licences, the rate of the security for export licences under that system should be fixed. In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the pigmeat sector, export licences should not be transferable and precise conditions governing access by operators to the said system should be laid down. |
|
(4) |
In accordance with Article 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 compliance with the obligations arising from agreements concluded under Article 218 of the Treaty regarding the export volume is to be ensured on the basis of the export licences. Therefore, a detailed schedule for the lodging of applications and for the issuing of licences should be laid down. |
|
(5) |
In addition, the decision regarding applications for export licences should be notified only after a period of consideration. This period should allow the Commission to assess the quantities applied for as well as the expenditure involved and, if appropriate, to take special measures applicable in particular to the applications which are pending. It is in the interest of operators to allow the licence application to be withdrawn after the acceptance coefficient has been fixed. |
|
(6) |
The Commission should have precise information concerning applications for licences and the use of licences issued, in order to be able to manage the licence system. In the interests of efficient administration, Member States should use the information systems in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 of 31 August 2009 laying down detailed rules for the Member States’ notification to the Commission of information and documents in implementation of the common organisation of the markets, the direct payments’ regime, the promotion of agricultural products and the regimes applicable to the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands (5). |
|
(7) |
In the case of applications concerning quantities equal to or less than 25 tonnes, the export licence should be issued immediately if the operators requests it. In this case, the licences should not be subject to any special measures taken by the Commission. |
|
(8) |
In order to ensure an exact follow up of the quantities to be exported, a derogation from the rules regarding the tolerances laid down in Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 should be laid down. |
|
(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, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
All exports of products in the pigmeat sector for which an export refund is requested, shall be subject to the presentation of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund.
Article 2
1. Export licences shall be valid for 90 days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008.
2. Applications for licences and licences shall bear, in Section 15, the description of the product and, in Section 16, the 12-digit product code of the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
3. The categories of products referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, as well as the rate of the security for export licences, are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
4. Applications for licences and licences shall bear, in Section 20, at least one of the entries listed in Annex II.
Article 3
1. Applications for export licences may be lodged with the competent authorities from Monday to Friday of each week.
2. Applicants for export licences shall be natural or legal persons who, at the time the applications are submitted, are able to prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the Member States that they have been engaged in trade in the pigmeat sector for at least 12 months. However, retail establishments or restaurants selling their products to end consumers may not lodge applications.
3. Export licences shall be issued on the Wednesday following the period referred to in paragraph 1, provided that none of the special measures referred to in paragraph 4 have since been taken by the Commission.
4. Where the issue of export licences would or might result in the available budgetary amounts being exceeded or in the maximum quantities which may be exported with a refund being exhausted during the period concerned, in view of the limits referred to in Article 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, or where the issue of export licences would not allow exports to continue during the remainder of the period, the Commission may:
|
(a) |
set a single percentage of acceptance for the quantities applied for; |
|
(b) |
reject applications for which licences have not yet been granted; |
|
(c) |
suspend the lodging of licence applications for a maximum period of five working days, extendable by the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |
In the circumstances referred to in point (c) of the first subparagraph, licence applications made during the suspension period shall be invalid.
The measures provided for in the first subparagraph may be implemented or modulated by category of product and by destination.
5. The measures provided for in paragraph 4 may also be adopted where export licence applications relate to quantities which exceed or might exceed the normal disposable quantities for one destination and issuing the licences requested would entail a risk of speculation, distortion of competition between operators, or disturbance of the trade concerned or the internal market.
6. Where the quantities applied for are rejected or reduced, the security shall be released immediately for all quantities for which an application was not satisfied.
7. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, where a single percentage of acceptance less than 80 % is set, the licence shall be issued at the latest by the 11th working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Union. During the 10 working days following its publication, the operator may:
|
(a) |
either withdraw his application, in which case the security shall be released immediately; or |
|
(b) |
request the immediate issuing of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no sooner than the normal issue date for the relevant week. |
8. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, the Commission may set a day other than Wednesday for the issuing of export licences when it is not possible to respect this day.
Article 4
1. On application by the operator, licence applications for up to 25 tonnes of products shall not be subject to any special measures as referred to in Article 3(4) and the licences applied for shall be issued immediately.
In such cases, notwithstanding Article 2(1), the term of validity of the licences shall be limited to five working days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 and Section 20 of licence applications and of licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex III.
2. The Commission may, where necessary, suspend the application of this Article.
Article 5
Export licences shall not be transferable.
Article 6
1. The quantity exported within the tolerance referred to in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 shall not give entitlement to payment of the refund.
2. In Section 22 of the licence, at least one of the entries listed in Annex IV shall be indicated.
Article 7
1. By Friday each week, Member States shall notify the Commission of the following information:
|
(a) |
the applications for export licences as referred to in Article 1 lodged from Monday to Friday of the same week, stating whether or not they fall within the scope of Article 4; |
|
(b) |
the quantities covered by export licences issued on the preceding Wednesday, not including those issued immediately under Article 4; |
|
(c) |
the quantities covered by export licence applications withdrawn pursuant to Article 3(7) during the preceding week. |
2. The notification of the applications referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall specify:
|
(a) |
the quantity in product weight for each category referred to in Article 2(3); |
|
(b) |
the breakdown by destination of the quantity for each category in the case where the rate of refund varies according to the destination; |
|
(c) |
the rate of refund applicable; |
|
(d) |
the total amount of refund fixed in advance in euro per category. |
3. Member States shall notify to the Commission on a monthly basis, following the expiry of the validity of the export licences, the unused quantity of export licences.
4. The notifications referred to in this Regulation, including ‘nil’ notifications, shall be made in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009.
Article 8
Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 is repealed.
