COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 885/2006
of 21 June 2006
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1 290/2005, new detailed rules should be laid down as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies as well as the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section (2) should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation. |
(2) |
Paying agencies should only be accredited by Member States if they comply with certain minimum criteria established at Community level. Those criteria should cover four basic areas: internal environment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Member States should be free to lay down additional accreditation criteria to take account of any specific features of a paying agency. |
(3) |
Member States should be obliged to keep their paying agencies under constant supervision and to establish a system for the exchange of information on possible cases of non-compliance. A procedure should be put in place to deal with such cases, including the obligation to draw up a plan to remedy any identified deficiencies within a time limit to be determined. Expenditure effected by paying agencies whose accreditation is maintained by their Member State even though they have failed to implement such a remedial plan within the determined time limit should be subject to the conformity clearance procedure provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005. |
(4) |
Detailed rules should be laid down as regards the content and format of the statement of assurance referred to in Article 8(1)(c)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005. |
(5) |
The role of the coordinating body referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 should be clarified and the criteria for its accreditation laid down. |
(6) |
In order to ensure that the certificates and reports to be drawn up by the certification bodies referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 are of assistance to the Commission in the clearance of accounts procedure, their content should be specified. |
(7) |
In order to allow the Commission to clear the accounts pursuant to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, it is necessary to specify the content of the paying agencies’ annual accounts and to establish a date for the transmission of those accounts and other relevant documents to the Commission. The period during which the paying agencies must keep the supporting documents regarding all expenditure and assigned revenues at the disposal of the Commission should also be clarified. |
(8) |
Moreover, it should be specified that the Commission establishes the form and content of the accounting information which the paying agencies must forward to it. In this context, it is also appropriate to include in this Regulation the rules regarding the use of such accounting information presently set out in Commission Regulation... |
