REGULATION (EU) 2016/…OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of …

amending Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 as regards the aid scheme for the supply of fruit and vegetables, bananas

and milk in the educational establishments **

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 42 and 43(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[5],

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions[6],

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)  Section 1 of Chapter II of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council[7] provides for a school fruit and vegetables scheme including bananas and a school milk scheme.

(2)  The experience gained with the application of the current schemes, together with the conclusions of the external evaluations ▌ subsequent analysis of different policy options and the social difficulties faced by Member States, point to the conclusion that the continuation and strengthening of the two school schemes is of the utmost importance. In the current context of declining consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables ▌and milk products, especially among children, and of an increasing incidence of child obesity as a result of consumption habits geared to highly processed foods which, additionally, are often high in added sugars, salt, fat or additives, the Union aid to finance the supply to children in educational establishments of selected agricultural products should do more to promote healthy eating habits and the consumption of local products.

(3)  The analysis of different policy options points out that a unified approach under a common legal and financial framework is more appropriate and effective in meeting the specific objectives that the Common Agricultural Policy is pursuing through school schemes. This would allow Member States to maximise the impact of distribution within a constant budget and increase management efficiency. However, in order to take into account the differences between the fruit and vegetables, including bananas, milk and milk products, i.e. school fruit and vegetables and school milk as defined in Section I of Chapter II, and their supply chains, certain elements should remain separate, such as the respective budgetary envelopes. In light of the experience with the current schemes, participation in the scheme should continue to be voluntary for Member States. Taking into the account the different consumption situations across Member States, the possibility should be given to participating Member States and regions to choose, in the context of their strategies the products they want to distribute among the products eligible for the supply to children in educational establishments. Member States could also consider introducing targeted measures in order to address declining milk consumption in the target population.

(4)  A trend of declining consumption in particular of fresh fruit and vegetables ▌and drinking milk has been identified. It is therefore appropriate to focus the distribution under the school schemes on these products as a priority. This would in turn also help reduce the organisational burden for schools and increase the impact of the distribution within a limited budget and would be in line with the current practice, as these products are most frequently distributed. However, in order to follow nutritional recommendations on calcium absorption, and given the increase in problems associated with intolerance to lactose in milk, Member States should be allowed to distribute other milk products, such as yoghurt and cheese, which have beneficial effects on children's health. Furthermore, efforts should be made to ensure the distribution of local and regional products.

(5)  Accompanying educational measures that support the distribution are necessary in order to make the scheme effective in reaching its short- and long-term objectives of increasing the consumption of selected agricultural products and shaping healthier diets. Considering their importance, these measures should support the distribution of school fruit and vegetables and school milk. They should be eligible for the Union aid, taking into account that for non agricultural products only the milk component will be eligible to this aid. As accompanying educational measures, they represent a critical tool to reconnect children with agriculture and the variety of Union agricultural products, particularly those produced in their region, with the help of, for example, nutrition experts and farmers. To meet the objectives that the scheme is pursuing, Member States should be allowed to include in their thematic measures a wider variety of agricultural products, such as processed fruit and vegetables without the addition of sugar, salt, fat, sweeteners and artificial flavours enhancers. Member States should also be allowed to include other local, regional or national specialities, such as honey, table olives and olive oil. However, so as to promote healthy eating habits, Member States should ensure the appropriate involvement or authorisation of their national authorities responsible for health and nutrition in the elaboration of this list in accordance with national procedures.

(6)  In order to ensure the efficient and targeted use of Union funds and to facilitate the implementation of the school scheme, the power to adopt certain acts should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the identification of costs and/or measures that are eligible for Union aid.

(7)  The aid should be allocated separately for school fruit and vegetables ▌and school milk in line with the voluntary approach to distribution. This aid should be allocated to each Member State taking into account the number of six- to ten-year old children in a Member State, the degree of development of the regions within a Member State so as to ensure higher aid to less developed regions, the smaller Aegean Islands and for the outermost regions in view of their limited agricultural diversification and the frequent impossibility of finding certain products in the region concerned, which involves higher transport and storage costs. Moreover for school milk, in order to allow Member States to maintain the scale of their current programmes and with a view of encouraging others to take up the distribution of milk, it is appropriate to combine the previous criteria with the historical use of the Union aid for the supply of milk and milk products to children, with the exception of Croatia for which a specific amount is to be determined.

(8)  In the interest of sound administration and budget management, Member States wishing to participate in the distribution of the eligible products should apply every year for the Union aid. ▌

(9)  The national strategy should be considered as the condition for a Member State's participation in the scheme. Members States wishing to participate should be required to present as a strategic ▌document covering a period of six years, and setting out ▌their respective priorities. Member States should be allowed to update them regularly, in particular in light of the evaluations and reassessment of priorities or targets and of the success of their programmes. Strategies may furthermore contain the specification of elements related to the implementation of the scheme which will enable Member States to achieve efficiencies in the management, amongst others in relation to the aid applications and requests.

(10)  In order to promote awareness of the school scheme and to increase the visibility of Union aid, the power to adopt certain acts should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the obligation by Member States to clearly publicise the Union support for implementing the scheme including in relation to publicity tools and, if appropriate, the common identifier or graphic elements.

(11)  In order to ensure the visibility of the scheme, Member States should explain in their strategy how they will guarantee the added value of their scheme, especially where products financed under the Union scheme are consumed at the same time as other meals provided to children in an educational establishment. In order to ensure that the educational purpose of the Union scheme is attained and effective, the power to adopt certain acts should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the rules concerning the distribution of the products financed under the Union scheme in relation to the provision of other meals in educational establishments and their preparation.

(12)  In order to verify the effectiveness of the programmes in the Member States, financing should be provided for initiatives to monitor and evaluate the results achieved, with particular attention being paid to medium-term changes in consumption.

(13)  Considering that the co-financing principle is abolished for the fruit and vegetable distribution, it is necessary to amend the appropriate provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council[8].

(14)  This Regulation should not interfere with the division of regional or local competences within the Member States.

(15)  Regulations (EU) No 1308/2013 and (EU) No 1306/2013 should be amended accordingly. To take into account the periodicity of the school year, the new rules should therefore become applicable as from 1 August 2017,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 establishing

a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 is amended as follows:

(1)  The title of Section 1 of Chapter II of Title I of Part II is replaced by the following: 'AID FOR THE SUPPLY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AND OF MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS IN EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS'

(2)  The heading 'Subsection 1' and the title 'School fruit and vegetables schemes' are deleted.

(3)  Article 23 is replaced by the following:

"Article 23

Aid for the supply of school fruit and vegetables, and of school milk, accompanying educational measures and related costs

1.  The Union aid shall be granted in respect of children in the educational establishments referred to in Article 22:

(a)  for the supply and distribution of eligible products referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3;

(b)  for accompanying educational measures; and

(c)  to cover certain related costs linked to ▌ equipment, publicity, monitoring and evaluation, and logistics and distribution if those costs are not covered by point (a).

For the purposes of this Section:

  'school fruit and vegetables' means the products referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 and point (a) of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2;

  'school milk' means the products referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 and point (b) of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2, as well as products referred to in Annex V.

2.  Member States wishing to participate in the aid scheme established in paragraph 1 ('the school scheme') and requesting Union aid referred to above, shall, taking into account national circumstances, prioritise the distribution of products of either or both of the following groups:

(a)  fruit and vegetables and fresh products of banana sector;

(b)  drinking milk and its lactose-free versions.

However, in order to promote the consumption of specific products and/or to respond to particular nutritional needs of children in its territory, a Member State may provide for the distribution of:

(a)  processed fruit and vegetable products, in addition to the products provided for in point (a) of the first subparagraph;

(b)  cheese and curd, yoghurt and other fermented or acidified milk products without added flavouring, fruit, nuts or cocoa, in addition to the products provided for in point (b) of the first subparagraph.

3.  In cases where Member States consider it necessary for the attainment of the objectives of the school scheme and the goals stated in the strategy referred to in paragraph 6, they may additionally complement the distribution of products referred to in paragraph 2 with products listed in Annex V.

In such case the Union aid shall be paid only for the milk component of the distributed product which shall not be lower than 90% by weight for Category I of Annex V and 75% by weight for Category II of Annex V. The Council shall fix the level of Union aid for milk in accordance with Article 43(3) TFEU.

4.  Products distributed under the school scheme shall not contain added sugars, added salt, added fat, added sweeteners and added artificial flavour enhancers E 620 to E 650 listed in Regulation (EU) No 1333/2008.

In order to take into account scientific developments, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 227, in order to supplement the list of flavour enhancers referred to in the first subparagraph.

However, any Member State may decide that eligible products referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 may contain limited quantities of added sugar, added salt, and/or added fat after obtaining the appropriate authorisation of their national authorities responsible for health and nutrition in line with their national procedures. In order to ensure that such products meet the objectives of the programme, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 defining the maximum levels for these substances which are technically necessary to prepare or manufacture processed products.

5.  In addition to products referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, Member States may provide for the inclusion of other agricultural products under the accompanying educational measures, in particular those listed in points (g) and (v) of Article 1(2).

6.  As a condition for its participation in the school scheme, a Member State shall draw up, prior to its participation in the school scheme, and subsequently every six years, at national or regional level, a strategy for the implementation of the scheme. The strategy may be amended by the authority responsible for its submission at national or regional level, in particular in the light of monitoring and evaluation and of the results achieved. The strategy shall at least identify the needs to be met, the ranking of the needs in terms of priorities, the target population, the results expected to be achieved and, if available, the quantified targets to be attained in relation to the initial situation, and lay down the most appropriate instruments and actions for attaining those objectives.

Those strategies may contain specific elements related to the implementation of the scheme, including those intended to simplify its management.

7.  Member States shall determine the list of all the products supplied under the scheme either through the regular distribution or under accompanying educational measures in their strategies. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, they shall also ensure the appropriate involvement or authorisation of their national authorities responsible for health and nutrition in the elaboration of this list in accordance with national procedures.

8.  Member States shall, in order to make the school scheme effective, also provide for accompanying educational measures, which may include, inter alia, measures and activities aimed at connecting children with agriculture through activities, such as farm visits, and the distribution of a wider variety of agricultural products as referred to in paragraph 5. These measures may also educate about related issues, such as healthy eating habits, ▌local food chains, organic farming, sustainable production or combating food waste.

9.  Member States shall choose the products to be featured in the distribution or to be included in accompanying educational measures on the basis of objective criteria which shall include one or more of the following: health and environmental considerations, seasonality, variety, or availability of local or regional produce, giving priority to the extent practicable to products originating in the Union. Member States may encourage particularly local or regional purchasing, organic products, short supply chains or environmental benefits and, if appropriate, quality products as designated in Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

Member States may consider in their strategies prioritising sustainability and fair trade considerations."

(4)  Article 23a is inserted:

"Article 23a

Financing provisions

1.  The aid under the school scheme allocated for the distribution of products, the accompanying educational measures and the related costs referred to in Article 23(1), and without prejudice to the provisions in paragraph 4, shall not exceed EUR 250 million per school year, of which:

(a)  for school fruit and vegetables: EUR 150 million per school year;

(b)  for school milk: EUR 100 million per school year.

2.  The aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be allocated to each Member State taking into account the following:

(i)  the number of six- to ten-year old children in a Member State;

(ii)  the degree of development of the regions within a Member State so as to ensure higher aid to less developed regions within the meaning of Article 3(5) of this Regulation ▌ and the smaller Aegean Islands within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 229/2013; and

(iii)  for school milk, in addition to the criteria referred to above, the historical use of the Union aid for the supply of milk and milk products to children ▌.

For the outermost regions listed in Article 349 TFEU, the allocations for the Member State concerned shall ensure higher aid for these regions in order to take into account their specific situation in the sourcing of products and to promote such sourcing between outermost regions that are close by.

The allocations for school milk resulting from the above criteria shall ensure that all Member States shall be entitled to receive at least a minimum amount of Union aid per child in the age group referred to in point (i) of the first subparagraph which shall not be lower than the average use of Union funds per child across all Member States under the scheme which applied prior to [date of entry into force of this Regulation].

3.  Member States shall apply every year for the participation in the school scheme by submitting their request for the Union aid, specifying the amount requested for the school fruit and vegetables, and the amount requested for the school milk that they wish to distribute ▌.

4.  Without exceeding the global ceiling of EUR 250 million resulting from the amounts referred to under points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1, any Member State may transfer once per school year up to 20% of one or the other of its indicative allocations. ▌

However, that percentage may be increased up to 25% for the Member States with outermost regions listed in Article 349 TFEU and in other duly justified cases, such as where a Member State needs to address specific market situation in the sector covered by the school scheme, its particular concerns of low consumption of one or the other group of products, or other societal changes.

Transfers may be made either:

(a)  prior to the fixing of definitive allocations for the following school year, between the Member State's indicative allocations. Such transfers may not be made from the indicative allocation for the group of products for which the Member State concerned requests an amount exceeding its indicative allocation. Member States shall notify to the Commission the amount of any transfers between indicative allocations; or

(b)  after the start of school year, between the Member State's definitive allocations, where such allocations have been set for the Member State in question. The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, adopt the measures necessary for the application of this paragraph, including on the deadlines for the transfers and on the submission, format and content of transfer notifications.

5.  The school scheme shall be without prejudice to any separate national school schemes which are compatible with Union law. Union aid provided for in Article 23 may be used to extend the scope or effectiveness of any existing national school schemes or school distribution schemes providing school fruit and vegetables and school milk but shall not replace funding for these existing national schemes, except for free distribution of meals to children in educational establishments. If the Member State decides to extend an existing national school scheme or make it more effective by applying for Union funds, it shall indicate in the strategy referred to in Article 23(6) how this will be achieved.

6.  Member States may, in addition to Union aid, grant national aid for the financing of the school scheme.

Member States may finance those payments by means of a levy on the sector concerned or by any other contribution from the private sector.

7.  The Union may also finance, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, information, publicity, monitoring and evaluation measures relating to the school scheme, including raising public awareness of its objectives, and related networking measures aimed at exchanging experience and best practices in order to facilitate the implementation and management of the scheme.

The Commission may develop, in accordance with Article 24(3) of this Regulation, a common identifier or graphic elements to enhance the visibility of the school scheme.

8.  Member States participating in the school scheme shall publicise, at the school premises or other relevant places ▌, their involvement in the scheme and the fact that it is subsidised by the Union. Member States may use any suitable communication tools to be laid down by the Commission in accordance with Article 24 and which may include posters, dedicated websites, informative graphic material, and information and awareness-raising campaigns. Member States shall ensure the added value and the visibility of the Union school scheme in relation to the provision of other meals in educational establishments."

(5)  Articles 24 and 25 are replaced by the following:

"Article 24

Delegated powers

1.  In order to promote the healthy eating habits of children and to ensure that the aid under the school scheme is aimed at children in the target group referred to in Article 22, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 concerning rules on:

Article 25

Implementing powers in accordance with the examination procedure

The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, adopt the measures necessary for the application of this Section including:
