(4) Poland informed the Commission that the necessary health and veterinary measures, which had been applied to contain and eradicate the spread of the disease, had affected a very large number of operators and that those operators suffered income losses that were not eligible for Union financial contribution under Regulation
(EU) 2021/690 of the European Parliament and of the Council(34).
(5) On 18 February 2025, the Commission received a formal request from Poland for part-financing of certain exceptional measures pursuant to Article 220(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for outbreaks confirmed between 9 August 2021 and 3 August 2023. On 12 and 27 May 2025, Polish authorities clarified and documented their request.
(6) As a result of applying the animal health and veterinary measures referred to in recital 3, fallowing periods were prolonged, the placing of birds was prohibited and movements were restricted on holdings of all types of poultry in the regulated zones. This led to a loss of production of hatching eggs, consumption eggs, live animals and poultry meat in these holdings affected.
(7) In accordance with Article 220(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the Union part-financing has to be equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure borne by Poland for the relevant exceptional market support measures. The maximum quantities eligible for financing in respect of each exceptional market support measure should be fixed by the Commission after assessing the request received from Poland related to the outbreaks confirmed between 9 August 2021 and 3 August 2023.

21.7.2023, p. 46, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2023/1520/oj).
(34) Regulation (EU) 2021/690 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing a programme for the internal market, competitiveness of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises, the area of plants, animals, food and feed, and European statistics (Single Market Programme) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 99/2013, (EU) No 1287/2013, (EU) No 254/2014 and (EU) No 652/2014 (OJ L 153, 3.5.2021, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2021/690/oj).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2025/1485/oj 3/9EN OJ L, 25.7.2025
(8) To avoid any risk of overcompensation, the maximum amounts and flat rate amount of part-financing should be based on technical and economic studies or accounting documents and fixed at an appropriate level for each animal and product according to categories.
(9) To avoid any risk of double funding, the losses incurred by beneficiaries should not have been compensated by State aid or insurance, and the Union part-financing under this Regulation should be limited to eligible animals and products for which no Union financial contribution has been received under Regulation (EU) 2021/690.
(10) The extent and duration of the exceptional market support measures provided for in this Regulation should be limited to what is strictly necessary to support the market. In particular, the exceptional market support measures should apply only to the production of eggs and poultry in the holdings located in the regulated zones and for the duration of the animal health and veterinary measures laid down in the Union and Polish legislation relevant to the 193 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza confirmed between 9 August 2021 and 3 August 2023.
(11) To ensure flexibility in case the numbers of animals eligible for compensation differ from the maximum numbers set in this Regulation, which are based on estimates, compensation may be adjusted within certain limits, as long as the maximum amount of expenditure part-financed by the Union is respected.
(12) As the Union aid is fixed in euro, it is necessary to fix a date for the conversion of the amount allocated to Member States not having adopted the euro as their national currencies, as it is the case for Poland. Since this Regulation does not provide for a deadline for the submission of the applications for aid, it is appropriate to consider, for the purposes of Article 30(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/127(35), the date of entry into force of this Regulation as the operative event for the exchange rate regarding the amounts set out in this Regulation.
(13) In order to ensure the effectiveness of this exceptional measure, beneficiaries should rapidly receive the emergency financial support. Additionally, a timely monitoring of the budget as well as an up-to-date follow up and efficient use of the agricultural reserve, thereby maximising its availability and enhancing the capacity to respond promptly to emerging crises, should be ensured. Therefore, it is appropriate to define an eligibility date by which time Poland is to pay this support to the beneficiaries. Any payments made after this date should be considered ineligible for Union financing.
(14) The Union should therefore finance the expenditure incurred by Poland under this exceptional measure only where such expenditure is made by a certain eligibility date. The support for this exceptional measure should therefore be paid by Poland by 28 February 2026.
(15) As no payments made after 28 February 2026 are to be considered eligible under any circumstances, Article 5(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/127, which provides for a proportional reduction of the monthly payments effected after the deadline, is not to apply.
(16) In order to ensure the eligibility and the correctness of the payments, Poland should carry out ex antechecks.
(17) In order to ensure an immediate implementation of the measures laid down in this Regulation by Poland, this Regulation should enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(18) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
(35) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/127 of 7 December 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to paying agencies and other bodies, financial management, clearance of accounts, securities and use of euro (OJ L 20, 31.1.2022, p. 95, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2022/127/oj).
