Transitional provisions for support from the EAFRD and EAGF in the years 2021 and 2022 ***I

These two texts have too little in common to compare paragraph by paragraph: they are different documents rather than versions of one (for example one group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted).

+36 added · −268 removed · 1 changed paragraphs, packaging included.

Part 2 of 7: Paragraphs 61–120

Added:- the importance of specific measures for the outermost regions, in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, to take account of the special characteristics of those regions;

Removed:It should be made possible to safeguard the sectoral programmes in force up to the finalisation date initially envisaged in order to ensure legal certainty for producers.

Added:- the importance of specific measures for agriculture in favour of the smaller Aegean islands established under Regulation (EU) No 229/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council; and

Removed:Recital 17: (17) As regards the aid scheme in the olive oil and table olives sector, the existing work programmes drawn up for the period running from 1 April 2018 until 31 March 2021 should be extended until the end of the transitional period. For aid schemes in the fruit and vegetables sector, rules should be laid down regarding the modification or replacement of operational programmes. The recognised producer organisations in the fruit and vegetable sector should also have the possibility to maintain the operational programme until it comes to an end.

Added:- that the above issues justify special support for those regions and islands, in order to implement appropriate measures.

Removed:Recital 18: (18) With the view to ensuring continuity as regards the aid schemes in the fruit and vegetable sector, the wine sector and the apiculture sector, rules need to be laid down that allow those aid schemes to continue to be implemented until the end of their respective programming periods. For this period certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 should therefore continue to apply in relation to expenditure incurred and payments made for operations implemented pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 after 31 December 2021 and until the end of those aid schemes and of the operational programmes.

Added:Joint statement by the European Parliament and the Council on EU funding arrangements for POSEI and the smaller Aegean islands

Removed:Recital 19: (19) In order to limit a significant carry-over of commitments from the current programming period for rural development to the CAP Strategic Plans, the duration of new multiannual commitments in relation to agri-environment-climate, organic farming and animal welfare should, as a general rule, be limited to a period of maximum of five years. Once Regulation (EU) .../... [CAP Strategic Plan Regulation] applies, the rules concerning those commitments should be adapted in accordance with that Regulation. The extension of existing commitments should be limited to one year.

Added:The European Parliament and the Council underline that the EU funding arrangements for POSEI and the smaller Aegean islands included in this Transitional Regulation for 2021 and 2022 are exceptional, reflecting the particularity of the circumstances, and do not constitute a precedent for future CAP financing, neither for the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands, nor for direct payments.

Removed:Recital 20: (20) The EAFRD should be able to support Community-led local development set up in accordance with the new rules laid down by Regulation (EU) XXXX/XXXX [New CPR]. However, in order to avoid unspent funds for Community-led local development in the programming year 2021 or, where applicable, the programming year 2022, Member States that decide to extend their rural development programmes and that also make use of the possibility to transfer amounts from direct payments to rural development, should be able to apply the 5% minimum allocation for Community-led local development only to the EAFRD contribution to the rural development extended to 31 December 2021 or, where applicable, 31 December 2022, calculated before the transfer of amounts from direct payment has been done.

Added:Statement by the Commission on the marketing rules on olive oil

Removed:Recital 21: (21) In order to ensure continuity in the transitional period, the reserve for crises in the agricultural sector should be maintained for 2021 and, where applicable, for 2022, and the relevant amount of the reserve for 2021 and, where applicable, for 2022, should be included.

Added:The Commission takes note of the political agreement between Parliament and Council on the Parliament’s amendment 106, inserting a new Article 167a into the CMO Regulation regarding the olive oil sector. The Commission notes that this amendment agreed by Parliament and Council is not in line with the principle of continuity of current rules that governs the Transitional Regulation, is substantive in nature and has been included by the co-legislators without an impact assessment as required by point 15 of the Inter-Institutional Agreement on Better Law-Making. The Commission recalls its commitment to maintain effective competition in the agricultural sector and to give full effect to the objectives of the CAP laid down in Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Removed:Recital 22: (22) As regards prefinancing arrangements from the EAFRD, it should be made clear that where Member States decide to extend the 2014–2020 period to 31 December 2021 or, where applicable, 31 December 2022, this should not lead to any additional prefinancing granted for the programmes concerned.

Added:Statement by the Commission on ANC payments

Removed:Recital 23: (23) Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 currently only provides for a notification obligation for Member States as regards their decisions and the estimated product related to the reduction of the part of the amount of direct payments to be granted to a farmer for a given calendar year exceeding EUR 150 000 for the years 2015 to 2020. With a view to ensuring a continuation of the existing system, Member States should also notify their decisions and the estimated product of reduction for calendar year 2021 and, where applicable, calendar year 2022.

Added:The Commission takes note of the agreement between the co-legislators that the EURI funds, when integrated into the EAFRD, may be used to finance payments for areas facing natural or other specific constraints (ANC payments).

Removed:Recital 24: (24) Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 allows Member States to transfer funds between direct payments and rural development as regards calendar years 2014 to 2020. In order to ensure that Member States may keep their own strategy, the flexibility between pillars should be made available also for calendar year 2021 (i.e. financial year 2022) and, where applicable, calendar year 2022 (i.e. financial year 2023).

Added:The Commission has already stated its concerns about the limited contribution of ANC payments to environmental and climate objectives, considering that farmers do not have to carry out any specific practices to receive the payment. For this reason, the inclusion of ANC payments under the part of the EURI funds dedicated to contribute to environmental and climate objectives should not be considered as a precedent during the negotiations on the future CAP.

Removed:Recital 25: (25) In order to allow the Commission to be able to set the budgetary ceilings in accordance with Articles 22(1), 36(4), 42(2), 47(3), 49(2), 51(4) and 53(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, it is necessary that Member States notify their decisions on financial allocations by scheme for calendar year 2021 by 1 August 2020 and, where applicable, their decisions on financial allocations by scheme for calendar year 2022 by 1 August 2021.

Removed:Recital 25 a (new): (25a) Member States should be able to continue to use transitional national aid during the period of application of this Regulation. In order to reduce the competitive differences between farmers in the Member States as a result of differences in payment per hectare, Member States should maintain transitional national aid for the duration of the transitional period.

Removed:Recital 27: (27) In accordance with the current legal framework, Member States notified in 2014 their decisions up to calendar year 2020, on the division of the annual national ceiling for the basic payment scheme between the regions and the possible annual progressive modifications for the period covered by Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013. It is necessary that Member States also notify those decisions for calendar year 2021 and, where applicable, calendar year 2022.

Removed:Recital 28: (28) The internal convergence mechanism is the core process for a more equitable distribution of direct income support among farmers. Significant individual differences based on old historic references become more and more difficult to justify. In Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the basic model of internal convergence consists in the application by Member States of a uniform flat rate for all payment entitlements, at national or regional level, from 2015. However, for the sake of ensuring a smoother transition to a uniform value, a derogation was set out allowing Member States to differentiate the values of payment entitlements by applying partial convergence, also called the ‘tunnel model’, between 2015 and 2019. Some Member States made use of this derogation. To continue the process towards a more equitable distribution of direct payments, Member States should further converge towards a national or regional average after 2019 instead of going to a uniform flat rate. They should notify annually their decision for the following year.

Removed:Recital 29: (29) Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 provides for the annual progressive modifications in the value of the payment entitlements allocated from the reserve to reflect the annual steps of the national ceiling set in Annex II to that Regulation, reflecting a “multiannual” management of the reserve. Those rules should be adapted so to reflect that it is possible to amend both the value of all allocated entitlements and of the reserve to adjust to a change in the amount in that Annex II between two years. Moreover, in some Member States not having reached a flat rate by 2019, internal convergence is implemented on an annual basis. For calendar years 2020 and 2021 and, where applicable, calendar year 2022, only the value of the payment entitlement of the current year needs to be determined in the year of allocation. The unit value of entitlements to be allocated from the reserve in a given year should be calculated after possible adjustment of the reserve in accordance with Article 22(5) of that Regulation. In any subsequent year, the value of the payment entitlements allocated from the reserve should be adapted in accordance with that Article 22(5).

Removed:Recital 30: (30) Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 provides the application of the single area payment scheme (SAPS) until 31 December 2020. The CAP Strategic Plan Regulation (EU) …/… [CAP Strategic Plan Regulation] allows Member States to implement a basic income support with the same modalities, i.e. without the allocation of payment entitlements based on historic references. Therefore, it is appropriate to allow the prolongation of SAPS in 2021 and, where applicable, in 2022.

Removed:Recital 34: (34) The financial allocations provided for in Regulations (EU) No 228/2013 and (EU) No 229/2013 should apply from 1 January 2021 in line with Regulation (EU) …/…[Regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027].

Removed:Recital 34 a (new): (34a) Given their very small size and their insularity, local markets in the outermost regions, as referred to in Article 349 TFEU, are particularly vulnerable to price fluctuations linked to import flows from the rest of the Union or from third countries. Therefore, the interbranch organisations, recognised under Article 157 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, particularly in the livestock sectors, take collective measures, in particular for compiling data and disseminating information, designed to ensure that local production remains competitive on the local market in question. To that end, notwithstanding Articles 28, 29 and 110 TFEU, and without prejudice to Articles 164 and 165 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, it is appropriate to allow the Member State concerned, in the context of extended interbranch agreements and after consultation with the stakeholders concerned, to make individual operators or groups of economic operators who are not members of the interbranch organisation but which operate on the local market in question, irrespective of their origin, pay that organisation all or part of the financial contributions paid by its members, including in cases where the proceeds of these contributions fund measures to maintain only local production or where the contributions are levied at a different stage in the marketing process.

Removed:Recital 34 b (new): (34b) Due to their geographical situation, in particular their remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, the outermost regions, as referred to in Article 349 TFEU, are faced with specific socio-economic problems related to the supply of food and agricultural products essential for consumption or agricultural production. Specific measures in the agricultural sector, to remedy the difficulties caused by the specific situation, as provided for in that Article, were established in Regulation (EU) No 228/2013. In order to respect the continuity principle, this Regulation advocates respecting the maintenance of the budget during the transitional period. For the Programme of Options Specifically Relating to Remoteness and Insularity (POSEI) scheme and for the specific measures for agriculture in favour of the smaller Aegean islands, it is appropriate to reinstate the financial allocations at their current levels provided for in Regulations (EU) No 228/2013 and (EU) No 229/2013.

Removed:Recital 34 c (new): (34c) In the event that a proposal for a Council Regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 (MFF Regulation) and the related proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (CAP Strategic Plan Regulation) have not been adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union by 30 October 2020, the transitional period originally proposed in this Regulation ending on 31 December 2021 should, as a last resort, be extended by a further year to 31 December 2022. In that event, the corresponding transitional rules and conditions applicable to the original transitional period should continue to apply during the extended transitional period and the budget allocations and applicable timeframes should be adapted accordingly. This should provide sufficient incentive and allow the European Parliament and the Council to successfully adopt the new legislative framework for the CAP, while at the same time ensure the necessary stability for the beneficiaries.

Removed:Article -1 (new): Article -1 / Transitional period / 1. For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘transitional period’ means the period starting on 1 January 2021 and ending on 31 December 2021. / 2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1 of this Article and only in the event that the proposal for a Council Regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 and the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council 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 Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council have not been adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union by 30 October 2020, the transitional period for the purpose of this Regulation shall be extended to 31 December 2022.

Removed:Title I – chapter I – title: Continued application of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 during the transitional period and extension of certain periods under Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013 and (EU) No 1310/2013

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1: For programmes supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), Member States that risk, due to the lack of financial resources, not to be able to undertake new legal commitments in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, may extend the period laid down in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 to the transitional period referred to in Article -1 of this Regulation.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 a (new): Member States that decide to make use of the possibility provided for in the first subparagraph may compensate for any reductions in the overall allocations in the EAFRD for the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) period with a corresponding increase in their national co-financing.

Removed:In respect of the continuation of the current CAP rules, Member States must be able to increase their co-financing. The Commission's proposed reductions in the MFF for the EAFRD cannot be accepted. The current rural development programmes have to continue without any cuts for the farmers and beneficiaries. This would allow the Member States’ to keep the environmental measures at least at the current level as proposed by the Commission and would enable both Member States and farmers to adapt or extend their programmes to meet environmental challenges.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2: Member States that decide to make use of the possibility provided in the first subparagraph shall notify the Commission of their decision within two weeks after the entry into force of this Regulation. Where Member States have submitted a set of regional programmes in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, that notification shall also contain information on which of the regional programmes are to be extended and on the corresponding budgetary allocation within the annual breakdown for the year 2021 and, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, for the year 2022, as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3: Where the Commission considers that an extension of the period under the first subparagraph is not justified, it shall inform the Member State thereof within four weeks after receipt of the notification referred to in the second subparagraph. The Commission shall base the evaluation of the request for extension on clear and objective criteria in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, which shall be communicated to the Member State concerned. The Commission shall provide the Member State concerned with the reasons justifying its refusal of the extension, as well as with, if possible, specific recommendations as to how to improve the notification in order to make it applicable. The Member State concerned may, within four weeks of being provided with such recommendations by the Commission, submit an updated notification explaining how it will implement the Commission´s recommendations on the applicability of the extension.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4: The notification referred to in the second subparagraph shall be without prejudice to the need to submit a request to amend a rural development programme for the year 2021 and, where Article-1(2) of this Regulation applies, for the year 2022, as referred to in point (a) of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013. Such amendment shall not be taken into account for the limit of annual modifications as provided for in the rules adopted on the basis of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013. That amendment shall guarantee the same percentage of the EAFRD expenditure for the measures referred to in Article 59(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1: For Member States that do not decide to make use of the possibility provided in paragraph 1 of this Article, Article [8] of Regulation (EU)…/…[Regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027] shall apply to the allocation not used for the year 2021 and, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, for the year 2022, as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

Removed:Article 1 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2: Where a Member State decides to make use of the possibility provided in paragraph 1 only with regard to certain regional programmes, the allocation referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall be the amount set out for that Member State for 2021 and, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, for 2022, in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 minus the budgetary allocations notified in accordance with the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 for the regional programmes that are extended.

Removed:Article 2 – paragraph 2: 2. For programmes for which Member States decide to extend the 2014–2020 period in accordance with Article 1(1) of this Regulation, the references to time periods or deadlines in Articles 50(1), 51(1), 57(2), 65(2) and (4), and the first paragraph of Article 76 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 shall be extended for the duration of the transitional period referred to Article -1 of this Regulation.

Removed:Article 2 – paragraph 3: 3. For Member States that decide to extend the 2014–2020 period in accordance with Article 1(1) of this Regulation, the Partnership Agreement drawn up for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 shall continue to be used as a strategic document by Member States and the Commission with regard to the implementation of support granted by the EAFRD during the transitional period.

Removed:Article 3 – title: Eligibility of certain types of expenditure during the transitional period

Removed:Article 3 – paragraph 1 – introductory part: Without prejudice to Article 65(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, to Article 2(2) of this Regulation and to Article 38 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, the expenditure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1310/2013 and in Article 16 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 807/2014 shall be eligible for an EAFRD contribution from the transitional period allocations for programmes supported by the EAFRD for which Member States decide to extend the 2014–2020 period in accordance with Article 1(1) of this Regulation, subject to the following conditions:

Removed:Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point a: (a) such expenditure is provided for in the respective rural development programme for the years covered by the transitional period;

Removed:Title I – Chapter II – title: Application of Articles 25 to 28 of Regulation (EU) [NEW CPR] for the programming year 2021 and, where applicable, 2022

Removed:Article 5 – paragraph 1: 1. Payment entitlements allocated to farmers before 1 January 2020 shall be considered legal and regular as from 1 January 2020. The value of those entitlements to be considered legal and regular shall be the value for calendar year 2019 valid on 31 December 2019. This is without prejudice to the relevant articles of Union law concerning the value of payment entitlements for calendar years 2020 onwards, in particular Article 22(5) and 25(12) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013.

Removed:Claim year 2020 will already be financed from the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021 – 2027 (MFF). With the start of the new MFF, legal certainty and clarity should be provided by considering all payment entitlements allocated to the farmers before 1 January 2020 legal and regular as from 1 January 2020.

Removed:Article 5 – paragraph 2: 2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to payment entitlements allocated to farmers on the basis of factually incorrect applications or in violation of the rule on conflict of interests, as laid down in Article 61 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council 1a, except in cases where the error could not reasonably have been detected by the farmer. / 1a Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

Removed:Article 6 – paragraph 1 – introductory part: 1. Expenditure relating to legal commitments to beneficiaries incurred under the measures referred to in Articles 23, 39 and 43 of Council Regulation(EC) No 1698/200519 which are receiving support under Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 shall continue to be eligible for an EAFRD contribution in the period 2022-2027 or, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, 2023-2027, covered by the CAP Strategic Plan, subject to the following conditions:

Removed:Article 6 – paragraph 1 – point a: (a) such expenditure is provided for in the respective CAP Strategic Plan for 2022- 2027 or, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, 2023-2027, in accordance with Regulation (EU) [CAP Plan Regulation] and complies with Regulation (EU) [HzR];

Removed:Article 6 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 a (new): The first subparagraph shall also apply to legal commitments to beneficiaries undertaken under corresponding measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, which are receiving support under Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013.

Removed:Transitional provisions should also allow regulating long-term commitments undertaken under rural development programs earlier than 2014-2020 period. This approach will enable payments to be made for commitments, e.g. for afforestation undertaken under rural development programs for the 2004-2006 period. That is why art. 6 clause 1 should be supplemented with an additional paragraph.

Removed:Article 6 – paragraph 2: 2.

The relevant producer organisations recognised under Article 152 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the relevant associations of producer organisations recognised under Article 156 of that Regulation and the relevant interbranch organisations recognised under Article 157 of that Regulation shall modify their work programmes to take account of this extension. The modified work programmes shall be notified to the Commission by 31 December 2020, or, where Article -1(2) of this Regulation applies, by 31 December 2021.

Removed:Article 7 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1 – introductory part: Recognised producer organisation in the fruit and vegetables sector having an operational programme as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 that has been approved by a Member State for a duration beyond the end of the transitional period may, by 15 September 2021, submit a request to that Member State to the effect that its operational programme:

Removed:Article 7 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2: Where a recognised producer organisation does not submit such request, paragraph 6 applies to its operational programme until that programme ends.

Removed:Article 7 – paragraph 3: 3. The support programmes in the wine sector referred to in Article 40 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall end on 15 October 2023.
