COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION(EU) 2025/2185
of 10 September 2025
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 as regards certain procedures, the calculation of
standard import values and additional import duties
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013
establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC)
No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007(1), and in particular Article 174(1), first
subparagraph, point (d), Article 181(3) and Article 182(1) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892(2) lays down rules for the application of Regulation (EU)
No 1308/2013 as regards the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors, including rules on the
submission of aid applications and on the approval of operational programmes. Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the
European Parliament and of the Council(3) laid down new rules for the operational programmes of producer
organisations. It is therefore necessary to remove from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 the remaining
provisions related to the management of such operational programmes.
(2) With a view to simplification and the reduction of administrative burden, the fixing of the standard import values
should be done on a weekly basis. The standard import value should be calculated based on the notification by
Member States of quotations recorded on representative import markets.
(3) For the effective application of the additional import duties referred to in Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU)
No 1308/2013, it is necessary to simplify certain implementing provisions and to align them with the EU Tariff
Schedule of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture.
(4) As additional import duties may apply for certain products during determined periods, it is necessary to reflect those
periods as set in the EU Tariff Schedule of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. Furthermore, the Combined
Nomenclature codes of products should also be updated, due to changes in the classifications.
(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common
Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

vegetables sectors (OJ L 138, 25.5.2017, p. 57, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2017/892/oj).
(3) Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for
strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the
European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing
