Council Regulation (EC) No 1182/2007 of 26 September 2007 laying down specific provisions with regard to the fruit and vegetables sector, amending Directives 2001 /112/EC and 2001 /113/EC and the Regulations (EEC) No 827/68, (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/1996, (EC) No 2826/2000, (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 318/2006 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 as regards the Funds and Operational Programmes was the reform of the Common organisation of the markets in the fruit and vegetables sector, and in particular established new provisions relating to funds and operational programmes as from 1 January 2008.

This Regulation was developed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulations (EC) No 2200/1996, (EC) No 2201/1996 and (EC) 1182/2007.

Subsequently, Council Regulation (EC) No 361/2008 repealed Regulation (EC) No 1182/2007 and incorporated it in full into Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing an organisation for the common agricultural markets and specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) are laid down in the fruit and vegetable and processed fruit and vegetable sectors.

In sum, the regulations currently in force, following the amendments and derogations outlined, are, on the one hand, Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 and, on the other, Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 the Commission, of 21 December 2007, following the last amendments, including that made by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1327/2008 of 19 December 2008.

Royal Decree 864/2008 of 23 May on funds and operational programmes of the fruit and vegetable producer organisations, developed at national level the necessary arrangements for programmes and funds according to the new Community legislation.

The first year of application of the new legislation has shown the need to amend certain aspects which were included in Royal Decree 864/2008 of 23 May, either by amendment of the Community legislation itself, or for clarification needs. While these are not profound changes, for security and legal clarity the publication of a new royal decree is convenient.

Moreover, the Community rules require Member States to regulate the actions eligible under the operational programmes. For legal certainty, it is necessary for such a list to be established in a standard, and therefore included as an annex in the royal decree

Since the reform of the CMO allows the operational programmes approved under the previous regulations to be maintained until their completion in accordance with the said regulations, which can be extended until 2012, to temporarily maintain some articles of Royal Decree 16/2006 of 20 January on funds and operational programmes of fruit and vegetable producer organisations as a legal framework for such programmes.

Finally, it is necessary to establish transitional provisions that continue to allow for an appropriate passage between the old and the new regulations.

Finally, the Minister for the Environment and the Rural and Marine Environment should be empowered to amend the list of measures, actions, actions, investments or concepts of expenditure, provided that such modifications are found online. with Community legislation, since this is a dynamic list.

On the other hand, it is necessary to amend the Royal Decree 1972/2008 of 28 November on the recognition of producer organisations for fruit and vegetables, in order to detail certain aspects relating to recruitment activities of producer organisations with other entities.

This basic regulation has been chosen by means of a royal decree due to the markedly technical nature of it, and its frequent modification on the basis of the Community rules, in accordance with the case law of the Court of Justice. Constitutional.

In the elaboration of this royal decree, the autonomous communities and representative entities of the sectors affected have been consulted.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of the Environment, and the Rural and Marine Environment, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of July 31, 2009,

DISPONGO:
