Article 1
Open ↗In paragraph 4 of Article 23 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following: ‘Where a reduction of at least 35 % in the value of a product has occurred due to natural disasters, climatic events, plant diseases or pest infestations falling outside the responsibility and control of the producer organisation, the value of marketed production of that product shall be deemed to represent 85 % of its value in the previous reference period. The producer organisation shall prove to the competent authority of the Member State concerned that those reasons were falling outside its responsibility and control. In case the producer organisation proves to the competent authority of the Member State concerned that it has taken the necessary preventive measures against the natural disaster, climatic event, plant disease or pest infestation concerned, the value of marketed production of that product shall be deemed to represent 100 % of its value in the previous reference period.’.
