COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/96

of 1 October 2014

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements of agricultural and forestry vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 February 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles (1), and in particular Article 19(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured. To that end, a comprehensive EU type-approval system and a strengthened market surveillance system for agricultural and forestry vehicles and their systems, components and separate technical units was established by Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 apply.

(2)

The term ‘agricultural and forestry vehicles’ covers a wide range of different vehicle types with one or more axles and two, four or more wheels or track-laying vehicles, e.g. wheeled tractors, track-laying tractors, trailers and towed equipment, used for a wide variety of agricultural and forestry purposes, including special purpose works.

(3)

Following the request of the European Parliament and with the aim of simplifying and accelerating the adoption of type-approval legislation, a new regulatory approach has been introduced in Union vehicle type-approval legislation in accordance with which the legislator in the ordinary legislative procedure sets out the fundamental rules and principles only and delegates the power to adopt delegated acts concerning further technical details to the Commission. In accordance with this principle, Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 lays down the fundamental provisions on functional safety, occupational safety and environmental performance and delegates to the Commission the power to lay down the corresponding technical specifications in delegated acts.

(4)

Therefore, the technical requirements for the type-approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles with regard to their environmental and propulsion unit performance should now be set out.

(5)

In 2010, the Commission established a European strategy on clean and energy efficient vehicles (2). This strategy proposed the Union to act in the areas where it can have distinct value added and complement the actions taken by the industry, national and regional public authorities. Those actions should aim at improving the environmental performance of vehicles and at the same time strengthening the competitiveness of the Union automotive industry In particular, a considerable reduction in hydrocarbon emissions from agricultural and forestry vehicles is necessary to improve air quality and comply with limit values for pollution. This should be achieved not only by reducing the hydrocarbon tailpipe and evaporative emissions from these vehicles, but also by helping reducing volatile particle levels.

(6)

By referring to the provisions of Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), this Regulation lays down the limit values for emissions of gaseous and particulate matter pollutants to be applied in successive stages, and the test procedure for internal combustion engines intended to power agricultural or forestry vehicles. The IIIA, IIIB and IV Stage emission limits for agricultural and forestry vehicle engines, by setting ambitious gaseous and particulate matter pollutant emission limits while aligning with international standards, are one of the measures designed to reduce emissions of particulate matter and ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.

(7)

A standardised method of measuring fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of agricultural and forestry vehicle engines, is necessary to ensure that no technical barriers to trade arise between Member States. Furthermore, it is also appropriate to ensure that customers and users are supplied with objective and precise information.

(8)

One of the main objectives of Union legislation on the approval of vehicles is to ensure that new vehicles, components and separate technical units placed on the market provide a high level of environmental protection. That objective should not be impaired by the fitting of certain parts or equipment after vehicles have been placed on the market or have entered into service. Thus, appropriate measures should be taken in order to make sure that parts or equipment which can be fitted to agricultural and forestry vehicles and which are capable of significantly impairing the functioning of systems that are essential in terms of environmental protection, are subject to prior control by an approval authority before they are placed on the market. Those measures should consist of technical provisions concerning the requirements that those parts or equipment have to comply with.

(9)

Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the European Council (4) provided for the EC whole-vehicle type-approval of all-terrain vehicles and side-by-side vehicles as agricultural and forestry vehicles. Those vehicle types should therefore also be covered by this Regulation with respect to their environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements, provided that the type of vehicle concerned falls within a vehicle category as referred to in Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.

(10)

Technical progress requires adaptation of the technical requirements set out in the Annexes to this Directive. The engine categories, limit values and implementation dates in this should be aligned to future changes in Directive 97/68/EC in accordance with Article 71 of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.

(11)

Environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements in respect to gaseous and particulate matter pollutant emissions should not apply to vehicles equipped with engines not covered by the scope of application of Directive 97/68/EC until the date when those engines become covered by that Directive. However, vehicles equipped with engines not covered by the scope of application of Directive 97/68/EC may be granted whole vehicle type-approval under this Regulation.

(12)

By Council Decision 97/836/EC (5), the Union has acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (Revised 1958 Agreement). In its Communication CARS 2020: Action Plan for a competitive and sustainable automotive industry in Europe, the Commission highlighted that the acceptance of international regulations under the 1958 UNECE Agreement is the best way to remove non-tariff barriers to trade. Therefore, the requirements set out in the Directives repealed by Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 should be replaced, where appropriate, with references to the corresponding UNECE regulations.

(13)

The possibility to apply UNECE regulations for the purpose of EU vehicle type-approval as a basis to the Union legislation is provided for in Regulation (EU) No 167/2013. In accordance with this Regulation type-approval in accordance with UNECE regulations which apply on an equal basis to the Union legislation is to be considered as EU type-approval in accordance with that Regulation and its delegated and implementing acts.

(14)

Using UNECE regulations on an equal basis to Union legislation helps to avoid duplication not only of technical requirements but also of certification and administrative procedures. In addition, type-approval that is directly based on internationally agreed standards should improve market access in third countries, in particular in those which are contracting parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement, thus enhancing the Union industry's competitiveness.

(15)

Given the scale and impact of the action proposed in the sector in question, the Union measures in this Regulation are indispensable if the environmental and safety objectives set, namely the approval of vehicles in the Union, are to be achieved. These objectives cannot be adequately achieved by the Member States acting individually.

(16)

Since environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements of agricultural and forestry vehicles are essential for the type-approval of these vehicles, this Regulation should apply as from date of application of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.

9.2.   Choice of parent engine

9.2.1.

The parent engine of the engine family shall be selected using the primary criterion of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed in accordance to the essential characteristics of the engine family set out in Appendix 2 of Annex II of Directive 97/68/EC. If two or more engines share this primary criterion, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criterion of highest fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed. Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterized by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for tests based on features which indicate that it may have the highest emission levels of the engines within that engine family.

9.2.2.

If engines within the same engine family incorporate other variable features which could be considered to affect emitted pollutants, these features must also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.

Appendix

Marking of engines

1.   

Any engine approved as a separate technical unit must bear all of the following:

(a)

the trade mark or trade name of the engine's manufacturer;

(b)

the engine type, and if applicable engine family, and a unique engine identification number;

(c)

the EU type-approval mark in accordance with the implementing act adopted pursuant to Article 68(h) of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.

2.   

The marks referred to in point 1 must last throughout the useful life of the engine and remain clearly legible and indelible. If labels or plates are used, they must be affixed in such a way that they too last throughout the useful life of the engine, and the labels/plates cannot be removed without destroying or defacing them.

3.   

The marks referred to in point 1 must be secured to an engine part that is necessary for normal engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during engine life. Those marks must be located so as to be readily visible to the average person once the engine has been fitted to the agricultural and forestry vehicle, together with all the auxiliaries needed for engine operation. If a bonnet is to be removed in order to make the mark visible, this requirement shall be considered to have been met if removal of that bonnet is simple.

In case of doubt concerning the meeting of this requirement, it shall be considered to have been met if an additional mark containing at least the engine identification number and the name, trade name or logo of the manufacturer has been added. That additional mark shall be affixed to, or next to, a major component that would not normally have to be replaced during the service life of the engine, and be easily accessible, without the assistance of tools, during routine maintenance operations; otherwise, it must be located at a distance from the original mark on the engine crankcase. The original mark and, where appropriate, the additional mark shall both be clearly visible once all of the auxiliaries needed for the operation of the engine have been fitted. A bonnet meeting the requirements set out in the above paragraph shall be authorised. The additional mark shall be affixed in a durable manner preferably directly to the topside of the engine, for example by means of an engraving, or a sticker or plate that meets the requirements of point 2.

4.   

The engines must be classified by means of their identification numbers in such a way that the production sequence can be determined unambiguously.

5.   

Before leaving the production line, the engines must bear all of the required marks.

6.   

The exact location of the engine marks shall be declared in the information document, in accordance with the implementing act adopted pursuant to Article 68 (h) of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.

7.   

In the case of replacement engines, the text ‘REPLACEMENT ENGINE’ shall be attached to a label on the engine in the form of a metallic plate.

ANNEX III

External sound emission requirements

1.   Permissible external sound levels.

1.1.   Measuring Instruments

The instrumentation system, including the microphones, cables and windscreen if used, shall meet the requirements for a Class 1 instrument set out in IEC 61672-1:2002. The filters shall meet the requirements for a Class 1 instrument given in IEC 61260:1995.

1.2.   Conditions of measurement

Measurements shall be made on agricultural and forestry vehicles with their unladen mass in running order in a sufficiently silent and open area (ambient noise and wind noise at least 10 dB (A) below the external sound level being measured).

This area may take the form, for instance, of an open space of 50 metres radius having a central part of at least 20 metres radius which is practically level; it may be surfaced with concrete, asphalt, or similar material and may not be covered with powdery snow, tall grass, loose soil or ashes.

The surface of the test track shall be such as not to cause excessive tyre noise. This condition applies only to measurement of the external sound made by agricultural and forestry vehicles in motion.

Measurement shall be carried out in fine weather with little wind. No person other than the observer taking the readings from the apparatus may remain near the agricultural and forestry vehicle or the microphone, as the presence of spectators near either the agricultural and forestry vehicle or the microphone may considerably affect the readings from the apparatus. Marked fluctuations of the pointer which appear to be unrelated to the characteristics of the general sound level shall be ignored in taking readings.

1.3.   Method of measurement

1.3.1.   Measurement of external sound level of agricultural and forestry vehicles in motion

At least two measurements shall be made on each side of the agricultural and forestry vehicle. Preliminary measurements may be made for adjustment purposes but shall be disregarded.

The microphone shall be situated 1,2 metres above ground level at a distance of 7,5 metres from the path of the agricultural and forestry vehicle's centre line, CC, measured along the perpendicular PP′ to that line (figure 1).

Two lines AA′ and BB′, parallel to line PP′ and situated respectively 10 metres forward and 10 metres rearward of the line, shall be marked out on the test track. Agricultural and forestry vehicles shall approach line AA′ at a steady speed, as specified below. The throttle shall then be fully opened as rapidly as practicable and held in the fully opened position until the rear of the agricultural and forestry vehicles crosses line BB′; the throttle shall then be closed again as rapidly as possible. If the agricultural or forestry vehicle is coupled to a trailer, this shall not be taken into account in determining when line BB′ is crossed.

The maximum sound level recorded shall constitute the result of the measurement.

Figure 1

Image 1

Text of image

1.3.1.1.   The test speed shall be three-quarters of the maximum design speed (vmax) as declared by the manufacturer which can be attained in the highest gear used for road movement.

1.3.1.2.   Interpretation of results

1.3.1.2.1.

To take account of inaccuracies in the measuring instruments, the result obtained from each measurement shall be determined by deducting 1 dB(A) from the meter reading.

1.3.1.2.2.

Measurements shall be considered valid if the difference between two consecutive measurements on the same side of the agricultural and forestry vehicle does not exceed 2 dB(A).

1.3.1.2.3.

The highest sound level measured shall constitute the test result. Should that result exceed by 1 dB(A) the maximum permissible sound level for the category of agricultural and forestry vehicle tested, two further measurements shall be made. Three of the four measurements thus obtained must fall within the prescribed limits.

1.3.2.   Measurement of external sound with agricultural and forestry vehicle stationary

1.3.2.1.   Position of sound-level meter

Measurements shall be made at point X (shown in figure 2) at a distance of 7 metres from the nearest surface of the agricultural and forestry vehicle. The microphone shall be situated 1,2 metres above ground level.

1.3.2.2.   Number of measurements: at least two measurements shall be made.

1.3.2.3.   Agricultural and forestry vehicle test conditions

The engine of an agricultural and forestry vehicle without a speed governor shall be run at three-quarters of the rpm speed at which, in accordance with the agricultural and forestry vehicle manufacturer, it develops its maximum power. The rpm speed of the engine shall be measured by means of an independent instrument, e.g. a roller bed and a tachometer. If the engine is fitted with a governor preventing the engine from exceeding the speed at which it develops its maximum power, it shall be run at the maximum speed permitted by the governor.

Before taking any measurements, the engine shall be brought to its normal running temperature.

1.3.2.4.   Interpretation of results

All external sound-level readings recorded shall be given in the report. The engine power shall be recorded in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of this Regulation. The state of loading of the agricultural and forestry vehicle must also be given.

The measurements shall be considered valid if the difference between two consecutive measurements on the same side of the agricultural and forestry vehicle does not exceed 2 dB(A).

The maximum figure recorded shall constitute the result of the measurement.

1.3.3.   External sound testing provisions for C-cat vehicles with metallic tracks in motion

For agricultural and forestry vehicles of C category equipped with metallic tracks, the noise in motion shall be measured with vehicles with their unladen mass in running order travelling at a constant speed of 5 km/h (+/– 0,5 km/h), with the engine at rated speed over a layer of humid sand as specified by paragraph 5.3.2 of ISO 6395:2008. The microphone shall be situated in accordance with the provisions of point 1.3.1. The measured noise value shall be recorded in the test report.

2.   Exhaust System (Silencer)

2.1.

If the agricultural and forestry vehicle is fitted with a device designed to reduce the exhaust noise (silencer), the requirements of this section shall apply. If the inlet of the engine is fitted with an air filter which is necessary in order to ensure compliance with the permissible sound level, the filter shall be considered to be part of the silencer, and the requirements of this point 2 shall also apply to that filter.

The exhaust tailpipe must be positioned in such a way that the exhaust gases cannot penetrate inside the cab.

Figure 2

Measuring positions for stationary agricultural and forestry vehicles

Image 2

2.2.

A drawing of the exhaust system must be annexed to the agricultural and forestry vehicle type-approval certificate.

2.3.

The silencer must be marked with a reference to its make and type which is clearly legible and indelible.

2.4.

The use of fibrous absorbent material is permitted in the construction of silencers only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

2.4.1.

the fibrous absorbent material may not be placed in those parts of the silencer through which gases pass;

2.4.2.

suitable devices must ensure that the fibrous absorbent material is kept in place for the whole time that the silencer is being used;

2.4.3.

the fibrous absorbent material must be resistant to a temperature at least 20 % higher than the operating temperature (degrees C) which may occur in the region of the silencer where those fibrous absorbent materials are situated.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/97

of 17 October 2014

correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 as regards the notification of significant net short positions in sovereign debt

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps (1), and in particular Article 3(7) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 13 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 (2) specifies, according to the empowerment provided in Article 3(7)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, the method of calculating positions for legal entities within a group that have long or short positions in relation to a particular issuer. Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 provides the method of calculating positions both for issued share capital and issued sovereign debt. However, Article 13(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 currently only refers to the notification threshold of Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, on significant net short positions in shares, while it should also refer to the notification threshold of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 on significant net short positions in sovereign debt.

(2)

To avoid legal uncertainty, Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 should therefore be corrected accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 13(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012, the first sentence is replaced by the following:

‘3.   When a net short position reaches or crosses the notification threshold in accordance with Articles 5 and 7 or the disclosure threshold in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, a legal entity within the group shall report and disclose in accordance with Articles 5 to 11 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 the net short position in a particular issuer calculated according to paragraph 1 provided that no net short position at group level calculated according to paragraph 2 reaches or crosses a notification or disclosure threshold.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/98

of 18 November 2014

on the implementation of the Union's international obligations, as referred to in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, under the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas and the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides for the landing of all catches of species which are subject to catch limits and, in the Mediterranean, also catches of certain species which are subject to minimum sizes (‘the landing obligation’). Article 15(1) of that Regulation covers fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels outside Union waters in waters not subject to third countries' sovereignty or jurisdiction.

(2)

The landing obligation will apply from 1 January 2015 at the latest to the small and large pelagic fisheries, fisheries for industrial purposes and fisheries for salmon in the Baltic sea.

(3)

The Union is a contracting party to a number of regional fisheries management organisations (‘RFMOs’) and is, therefore, bound by measures established by the RFMOs concerned.

(4)

Certain RFMO measures provide for fishing vessels fishing in their purview to discard certain catches which in principle fall under the landing obligation.

(5)

Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts for the purpose of implementing international obligations into Union law, including, in particular, derogations from the landing obligation.

(6)

It is therefore necessary to clarify the situations in which the landing obligation does not apply, in order to ensure compliance by the Union with its international obligations and create legal certainty for fishermen.

(7)

In accordance with Recommendation 11-01 of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (‘ICCAT’) on a multiannual conservation and management programme for bigeye and yellowfin tunas, certain fishing vessels should not be allowed to fish, retain on board, tranship, transport, transfer, process or land bigeye tunas in the Atlantic.

(8)

ICCAT Recommendation 13-07 establishes a discard obligation for vessels and traps catching Eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna in certain situations. In particular, paragraph 29 of that Recommendation states that bluefin tuna below a minimum reference weight or size is to be discarded. That minimum size is currently laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 (2). That discard obligation applies to all Eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna fisheries, including recreational and sports fisheries.

(9)

Furthermore, paragraph 31 of ICCAT Recommendation 13-07 establishes a discard obligation for bluefin tuna weighing between 8 and 30 kg or with fork length between 75 and 115 cm, caught as incidental catch by vessels and traps actively fishing for this species and exceeding 5 % of the total bluefin tuna catches.

(10)

The weight category for the incidental catch of bluefin tuna established by Article 9(12) of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 is different from that established by paragraph 31 of ICCAT Recommendation 13-07, which was adopted after the entry into force of that Regulation. Pending the review of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009, paragraph 31 of that ICCAT Recommendation should be implemented in Union law by this Regulation.

(11)

Paragraph 32 of ICCAT Recommendation 13-07 states that vessels not fishing actively for bluefin tuna are not authorised to retain bluefin tuna above 5 % of their total catch by weight or number of pieces.

(12)

Paragraphs 34 and 41 of ICCAT Recommendation 13-07 establish a release obligation for bluefin tuna caught alive in the framework of recreational and sport fisheries.

(13)

ICCAT Recommendation 13-02 for the conservation of North Atlantic swordfish establishes a discard obligation for vessels fishing for North Atlantic swordfish in certain situations. In particular, paragraph 9 states that swordfish below a minimum reference weight or size should be discarded. That minimum size is currently fixed in Council Regulation (EC) No 520/2007 (3).

(14)

Furthermore, the same paragraph of Recommendation 13-02 establishes a discard obligation for swordfish weighing less than 25 kg live weight or 125 cm lower jaw fork length, caught as incidental catch and exceeding 15 % of the number of swordfish of the vessel's total swordfish catch per landing.

(15)

In order to ensure consistency between ICCAT recommendations 11-01, 13-07 and 13-02 and Union law, the landing obligation should not apply to Union vessels participating in the fisheries covered by those recommendations.

(16)

Article 5, Article 6.3 and Annex I.A of Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (‘NAFO’) conservation and enforcement measures establish a discard obligation for any catch of capelin above established quota or above the allowed by-catch percentage. Annex I.A currently establishes a total allowable catch (‘TAC’) of zero for capelin. In addition, capelin by-catch in other fisheries that fall under the landing obligation is, under certain conditions, also subject to a discard obligation in accordance with NAFO rules.

(17)

In order to ensure consistency between NAFO conservation and enforcement measures and Union law, the landing obligation should not apply to the fisheries covered by those measures.

(18)

In view of the time-frame laid down in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after the publication,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/103

of 16 January 2015

excluding from European Union financing certain expenditure incurred by the Member States under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)

(notified under document C(2015) 53)

(Only the Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Romanian and Spanish, texts are authentic)

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 52 thereof,

After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 31 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 (2) and as from 1 January 2015 in accordance with Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 the Commission is to carry out the necessary verifications, communicate to the Member States the results of those verifications, take note of the comments of the Member States, initiate a bilateral discussion so that an agreement may be reached with the Member States in question, and formally communicate its conclusions to them.

(2)

The Member States have had an opportunity to request the launch of a conciliation procedure. That opportunity has been used in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been examined by the Commission.

(3)

In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, only agricultural expenditure which has been incurred in a way that has not infringed Union law may be financed.

(4)

In the light of the verifications carried out, the outcome of the bilateral discussions and the conciliation procedures, part of the expenditure declared by the Member States does not fulfil this requirement and cannot, therefore, be financed under the EAGF and the EAFRD.

(5)

The amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGF and the EAFRD should be indicated. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the verifications to the Member States.

(6)

As regards the cases covered by this decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with Union law was notified by the Commission to the Member States in a summary report on the subject.

(7)

This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union in cases pending on 1 September 2014,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The amounts set out in the Annex and related to expenditure incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGF or the EAFRD shall be excluded from Union financing.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Lithuania, Hungary, the Kingdom of Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, Romania, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
