A.Ìýwhereas, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting extensive movement restrictions, exceptional difficulties have been encountered by all Member States and by farmers in all Member States with the planning, implementation and execution of aid schemes laid down in Articles 32 to 38 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for the fruit and vegetables sectors and in Articles 39 to 54 thereof for the wine sector;

B.Ìýwhereas the situation has resulted in financial difficulties, cash-flow problems, market disruption and serious disturbance of the functioning of the supply chain in the fruit and vegetables sector and in the wine sector;

C.Ìýwhereas exceptional difficulties have also been encountered in all Member States with the planning, management and implementation of operational programmes of recognised producer organisations and associations of producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector and in wine-producing Member States with the planning, management and implementation of operations under support programmes in the wine sector;

D.Ìýwhereas, in view of the unprecedented nature of those combined circumstances, the Commission has adopted provisions providing for flexibilities and allowing derogations from delegated regulations applicable in the fruit and vegetables sector and in the wine sector;

2.ÌýInstructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission.
