COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2021/1112
of 25 June 2021
amending Decision 2013/767/EU as regards the extension of the mandate of the member organisations of the civil dialogue groups dealing with matters covered by the common agricultural policy
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Decision 2013/767/EU (1) has set up a framework for civil dialogue in matters covered by the common agricultural policy, in accordance with Article 11(2) TEU. |
(2) |
The member organisations of the civil dialogue groups (2) (CDGs) have been appointed for a seven-year mandate, which expires in July 2021. However, the necessity to renew the mandate of those member organisations coincides with the final phase of the inter-institutional negotiations on the new common agricultural policy that will be applicable as from 2023. Moreover, the outcome of the reform of the common agricultural policy, which will be followed by the adoption of a series of implementing and delegated acts, should have an impact on the new structure of the CDGs. |
(3) |
The existing CDGs system matches the current architecture of the agricultural legislation of the Union. Therefore, the mandate of the member organisations should be extended until 31 December 2022, following the rationale of Regulation (EU) 2020/2220 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), which ensures a transition towards the new common agricultural policy and extended most of the currently applicable rules until the end of 2022. |
(4) |
The composition of the CDGs should remain unchanged during the period of extension of the mandate of their member organisations. However, member organisations should be free to decide whether they wish to withdraw their membership during that period. |
(5) |
In order to enhance the operability of the CDGs during the period of extension of the mandate of their member organisations, and in accordance with standard practice for Commission expert groups, the Commission should take over the role of the chair of the CDGs. Moreover, certain arrangements with regard to the agenda and the minutes of the meetings should be aligned with the practice followed in other expert groups with a view to ensuring consistency. |
(6) |
Decision 2013/767/EU should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2013/767/EU is amended as follows:
(1) |
in Article 3, paragraph 2 is deleted; |
(2) |
in Article 4(5), the introductory wording is replaced by the following: ‘The mandate of the member organisations shall expire on 31 December 2022. A member organisation may be replaced within a group where:’; |
(3) |
Article 5 is amended as follows:
|
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 25 June 2021.

The President
Ursula VON DER LEYEN
