(1) The multiannual financial framework package for the years 2028 to 2034 includes Regulation (EU) .../... of the European Parliament and of the Council [NRPF Regulation] 6  establishing the National and Regional Partnership Fund (the ‘Fund’) for the period 2028 to 2034, grouping the nationally pre-allocated funds under the Fund, including the European Agriculture Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). The Fund is to be implemented through National and Regional Partnership Plans (the ‘NRP Plans’) and the Union Facility (the ‘Facility’), which aim at increasing flexibility and cater for crises and interventions that require steering or coordination at Union level.

(2) The aid for the supply of fruit and vegetables and of milk and milk products in educational establishments provided for in Part II, Title I, Chapter II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council 7 (the ‘EU school scheme’) has proven to be effective in increasing the consumption of selected agricultural products. In order to contribute to achieving the objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the EU School Scheme should be continued. However, in order to increase its effectiveness and to ensure coherence with other CAP instruments, the EU school scheme should be based on delivery of performance and should be implemented as a type of intervention supported by the Fund, subject to the rules laid down in Regulation (EU) .../... [NRPF Regulation] and Regulation (EU) .../...of the European Parliament and of the Council [Performance Regulation] 8 . Therefore, the existing provisions on the EU school scheme in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 are to be deleted.

(3) Council Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 9 fixes the amount of Union aid under the EU school scheme. In view of the deletion of the provisions relating to the EU school scheme laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the provisions relating to the EU school scheme in Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 should also be deleted.

(4) Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) In order to ensure a smooth transition to the new legal framework under the Fund, the amendments to Regulations (EU) No 1370/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 deleting the provisions relating to the EU school scheme should apply from the same date. However, in order to finalise the payments of the measures after the 31 December 2027 those provisions should continue to apply in respect of measures implemented until 31 December 2027.
