COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 640/2014

of 11 March 2014

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the integrated administration and control system and conditions for refusal or withdrawal of payments and administrative penalties applicable to direct payments, rural development support and cross compliance

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 Articles 63(4), 64(6) and 72(5), Article 76, Articles 77(7), 93(4) and 101(1), and Article 120 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 repeals and replaces, among others, Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 (2). Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the system in the new legal framework, certain rules have to be adopted by means of such acts. Those acts should replace in particular the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 (3).

 

(2)

In particular, rules should be established to supplement certain non-essential elements of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 in relation to the functioning of the integrated administration and control system (integrated system), the time limits for the submission of aid applications or payment claims, the conditions for the partial or total refusal of aid and the partial or total withdrawal of undue aid or support and the determination of administrative penalties to deal with non-compliances related to conditions for receiving aid under schemes established by Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and conditions for receiving support under rural development measures established by Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), and rules on the maintenance of permanent pasture and calculation of administrative penalties as regards the cross-compliance obligations.

 

(3)

Supplementary definitions are needed to ensure a harmonised implementation of the integrated system, in addition to the definitions provided for in Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013. Furthermore, it is necessary to define certain terms applicable to cross-compliance rules.

 

(4)

The application of administrative penalties and the refusals or withdrawals of aid or support provided for in this Regulation should not prevent Member States from applying national criminal penalties, if national law so provides.

 

(5)

Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 defines certain cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances to be recognised by the Member States. Supplementary rules should be laid down enabling Member States to recognise cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances in relation to direct payments, rural development support and cross-compliance. A deadline within which such cases are to be notified by the beneficiary should be fixed.

 

(6)

Supplementary rules are also needed with regard to the system for the identification of agricultural parcels to be operated by the Member States in accordance with Article 70 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013. According to that provision, use has to be made of computerised geographical information system (GIS) techniques. It is necessary to clarify which are the basic requirements and quality targets to be met by...
