THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 laying down provisions for the management of expenditure relating to the food chain, animal health and animal welfare, and relating to plant health and plant reproductive material amending Council Directives 98/56/EC, 2000/29/EC and 2008/90/EC, Regulations (EC) No 178/2002, (EC) No 882/2004 and (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decisions 66/399/EEC, 76/894/EEC and 2009/470/EC (1) and in particular Article 36(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (2), and in particular Articles 84(2), 121(1) and 133(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 (3) lays down the rules for the payment of a financial contribution from the Union towards emergency measures to eradicate certain animal diseases, including Newcastle disease. Article 7 of that Regulation lays down the documents to be submitted by the Member State requesting the financial contribution from the Union and the deadlines for submitting such documents. |
|
(2) |
Commission Implementing Decision 2013/724/EU (4) provides for a financial contribution from the Union to be granted to Cyprus towards the costs incurred by that Member State in taking measures to combat Newcastle disease in 2013 pursuant to Council Decision 2009/470/EC (5). Accordingly, a first tranche of EUR 250 000,00 was paid to that Member State, for costs incurred in 2013 as part of the financial contribution from the Union. Implementing Decision 2013/724/EU further provides that the amount of the financial contribution from the Union is to be fixed in a subsequent decision to be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred therein. |
|
(3) |
Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 provides for payments to be made to Member States in those circumstances. In that respect, it provides for the adoption of implementing acts, setting out the financial contribution. That Regulation also repealed Decision 2009/470/EC and references to that Decision are to be construed as references to Regulation (EU) No 652/2014. |
|
(4) |
Through Implementing Decision 2013/724/EU, the requirements of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, in particular Article 84 thereof, have been complied with. |
|
(5) |
On 13 February 2014, Cyprus submitted an official request for reimbursement to the Commission accompanied by a financial report, supporting documents and an epidemiological report on each holding where the animals have been slaughtered and destroyed. The request for reimbursement amounts to EUR 355 361,23. |
|
(6) |
Following the result of the on the spot ex ante audit, managed by the competent audit service, expenditure amounting to EUR 81 156,54 was found to be ineligible for a financial contribution from the Union. Therefore, the financial contribution from the Union should be fixed at EUR 274 204,69. In addition to the first tranche already paid, a final complementary tranche of EUR 24 204,69 should be granted. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The financial contribution from the Union towards the expenditure incurred by Cyprus in 2013 for the financing of emergency measures to combat Newcastle disease is hereby fixed at EUR 274 204,69.
2. The balance of the financial contribution from the Union remaining to be paid to Cyprus is hereby fixed at EUR 24 204,69.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus
