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 Article 108 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 108 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 requires Member States which have not adopted the euro and which decide to pay the expenditure resulting from sectoral agricultural legislation in euro rather than in their national currency to take measures to ensure that the use of the euro does not provide a systematic advantage compared with the use of national currency. |
(2) |
Commission Decision (EU) 2015/1352 (2) previously approved such measures communicated by the United Kingdom. |
(3) |
On 30 October 2015, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of its intention to extend the number of measures under which it would pay expenditure in euro rather than in pounds sterling, as well as of the measures that would be applied in accordance with Article 108 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 to ensure that a systematic advantage resulting from the use of the euro rather than the pound sterling does not arise. |
(4) |
The measures planned by the United Kingdom can be summarised as follows:
|
(5) |
Those measures are in line with the objective fixed by Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, namely to prevent a systematic advantage resulting from the use of the euro rather than the national currency. They should therefore be approved. |
(6) |
For that reason, Decision (EU) 2015/1352 should be repealed and replaced by this Decision, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The measures communicated by the United Kingdom on 30 October 2015 concerning the payment in euro of expenditure resulting from sectoral agricultural legislation listed in the Annex and, where applicable, any delegated or implementing acts adopted on the basis of those instruments, are hereby approved.
Article 2
Decision (EU) 2015/1352 is repealed.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Done at Brussels, 8 December 2015.
