Summary

This dossier amends certain CAP Regulations on conditionality, direct payments, sectoral and rural-development interventions, performance reports and controls (Omnibus III). The amendments invoke simplification and competitiveness while debating the conditionality system of Statutory Management Requirements and GAEC standards, permanent grassland, carbon-rich soils, peatlands and wetlands, crisis payments after natural disasters, subsidised insurance, risk management, young farmers, and agri-environment-climate commitments; two opinions call for rejection of the proposal.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →

(4) Feedback and experience from the two years of implementation of the CAP Strategic Plans under the current CAP Union legal framework indicate that further, limited adjustments of that legislation are needed in order to address the identified bottlenecks and complexities.

(9) The system of conditionality comprising Statutory Management Requirements (SMR) and Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) Standards aims to contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture through an increased awareness on the part of beneficiaries of the need to comply with those basic standards and requirements.

Amendment 7Proposal for a regulation · Recital 14
Current text
(14) Natural disasters, adverse climatic events and catastrophic events are increasing in their frequency, intensity and duration and are having significant impact on the agricultural sector in the Union. Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 already provides a set of tools for farmers to build up resilience and respond to crisis. The scale of events and their sudden and extraordinary nature call however for expanding instruments available for Member States. Hence, it is appropriate to provide for complementary crisis payments to farmers and to include them as a new type of intervention in the form of direct payments in Article 16 of that Regulation.

(15) Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 allows Member States to retain up to 3 % of the direct payments to be paid to a farmer to support the farmers’ contribution to a risk management tool.

Current text
(21) In the first years of implementation of the CAP Strategic Plans, natural disasters, adverse climatic events or other catastrophic events have impacted many farmers’ production around the Union. That trend is expected to continue in the future. It should therefore be possible for Member States to offer crisis payments in the form of increased direct income support to enable the most affected farmers to be compensated rapidly. To maintain the incentive for farmers to insure their production, Member States should set a higher rate of compensation for those farmers, who are covered by an insurance scheme or other risk management tool. To increase the funds to be mobilised in support of farm…

(61) Experience with the implementation of the agricultural reserve has shown that it is valuable in case of crisis in order to offer support to farmers affected and to contribute to the return of markets to a better balance. However, in the past years it was increasingly used for alleviating the situation of the farmers suffering direct losses due to natural disasters, adverse climatic events or catastrophic events although its intended original purpose as financing market instrument was to focus on compensating and mitigating the impacts of market disturbances. In view of the mounting challenges faced by the Union agricultural sector, including trade tensions, geopolitical uncertainty and…
