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).

Change 1
Removed:Recital 6: (6) In order to minimise the risk of negative impacts on the single market and international trade of the new crisis payments to farmers following natural disasters, adverse climatic events and catastrophic events in accordance with Article 78a of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, the interventions under which this Union support is to be granted should be designed by the Member States in such a way that they qualify under the criteria of Annex 2 to the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (‘Green Box’).
Removed:Recital 8: deleted
Removed:Recital 9: (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. It also aims to increase the consistency of the CAP with the environment, public health, plant health and animal welfare objectives pursued by Union legislation. However, considering that the agricultural area managed by small farmers who benefit from payments under the interventions referred to in Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 is limited, applying the system of conditionality to such small farmers, who manage two thirds of farms in the Union and whose holdings do not exceed 10 hectares, yields insufficient benefits compared to significant costs, and imposes an important administrative burden, on those farmers and national administrations. To reduce such costs and ease the related administrative burden, it is appropriate to exempt small farmers from the application of the system of conditionality.
Removed:Recital 11: (11) GAEC standard 1, listed in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 aims to maintain permanent grassland to preserve carbon stock. Points 1.7.3 and 1.9.1.1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 emphasize the importance of maximizing the use of grazing and pasture, which prevents the conversion of permanent grassland into other land uses, and in line with the main objective of GAEC standard 1 preserves carbon stock in permanent grasslands. GAEC standards 3, 5 and 6, listed in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 aim to maintain soil organic matter, limit erosion, and protect soils during sensitive periods, respectively. These objectives are already achieved through the tillage and cultivation practices applied in organic plant production, in particular those referred to in point 1.9. of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848. GAEC standard 4, listed in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, aims to protect water against pollution. Similarly, points 1.5, 1.7, 1.9 and 1.10 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 aim to reduce the risk of water pollution by limiting the use of veterinary medicinal products, restricting the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and restricting stocking density. Experience has shown that organic farming has a positive impact as regards nutrient leaching and run-off, making it less likely that an organic farmer would compromise the quality of water, thereby achieving the main objective of GAEC standard 4. Therefore, given the principles and rules…

Removed:Recital 15: (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. A Member State deciding to make use of this option had to apply it to all beneficiaries of direct payments in a given year. Experience shows that only very few Member States make use of this option. Discussions with the Member States have shown that an obstacle to the implementation of this provision is the lack of risk management tools, whether set up by Member States or available through private insurance, available for all farmers receiving direct payments. In order to increase the uptake and use of the possibility provided for in Article 19 of that Regulation, it is necessary to make its implementation more flexible and to adapt it to the existing management tools in Member States. As a result of this amendment, Member States should also be able to retain up to 3 % of direct payments to be paid to those farmers only for whom risk management schemes exist in a given year.
Removed:Recital 21: deleted
Removed:Recital 33: (33) In order to efficiently support farmers whose production was damaged by natural disasters, adverse climatic events or other catastrophic events, Member States should be able to plan crisis payments through rural development interventions. Such types of support should offer Member States sufficient flexibility in planning the interventions. In order to ensure sound financial management of the Union funds, Member States should ensure that the total compensation received by the farmer accumulated with other forms of Union or nationally funded support (including additional national financing), private insurance or other risk management schemes does not lead to overcompensation or double-funding.
Removed:Recital 40: (40) Article 86(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 lays down rules on the eligibility of expenditure resulting from amendments of CAP Strategic Plans for contribution from the EAGF and the EAFRD, respectively. To simplify the rules on eligibility of expenditure, to improve synergies between the EAGF and the EAFRD and to increase the flexibility for the Member States to determine the dates of effect of the EAGF-related amendments of CAP Strategic Plans, it is appropriate to allow the eligibility of expenditure resulting from an approved strategic amendment of a CAP Strategic Plan for EAGF contribution from the date of effect of the amendment set by the Member State concerned in accordance with Article 119(8) of that Regulation, but not earlier than from the date of submission to the Commission of the request for amendment. For other amendments of CAP Strategic Plans related to the EAGF, the expenditure should be eligible for contribution from the EAGF from the date of notification of the amendment to the Commission, as laid down in Article 119(9) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, as amended by this Regulation.
Removed:Recital 41: (41) For the purpose of ensuring adequate financing for the new type of intervention for crisis payments to farmers following natural disasters, adverse climatic events or catastrophic events referred to in Article 78a of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Member States should be able to reserve a certain share of EAFRD funding for this type of intervention. However, with a view of ensuring that sufficient financing remains available to deliver on the other CAP priorities, this share should be limited to a maximum annual amount available per Member State corresponding to 3 % of the total of EAFRD funding per year.
Added:P10_TC1-COD(2025)0236
Removed:Recital 42: (42) Due to their special nature, the new types of intervention for crisis payments to farmers under rural development referred to in Article 78a of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should be exempt from the obligation to contribute to the result indicators listed in Annex I to that Regulation.
Added:Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 16 December 2025 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2025/… of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 as regards the conditionality system, types of intervention in the form of direct payment, types of intervention in certain sectors and rural development and annual performance reports and Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 as regards suspensions of payments, annual performance clearance and controls and penalties
Removed:Recital 43: deleted
Added:(As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EU) 2025/2649.)
Removed:Recital 44: (44) Article 119(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 provides for the approval by the Commission of requests for amendments of CAP Strategic Plans submitted by Member States. Article 119(9) of that Regulation enables Member States to make and apply modifications of CAP Strategic plans related to the interventions referred to in Title III, Chapter IV, of that Regulation, which are approved by the Commission together with the next request for amendment. Experience has shown that the amendments of CAP Strategic Plans often contain numerous technical elements that render them complex, onerous for Member States, and result in delays in the approval procedures although the strategic orientation of the Plans remain unchanged. This interferes with timely and effective adaptation of CAP Strategic Plans to changing economic reality and needs of farmers and other beneficiaries in Member States and negatively impacts the implementation of those Plans. To simplify and improve the efficiency of amendment procedures, in particular regarding elements of the CAP Strategic Plans that are not of strategic nature, approval by the Commission should be required only for strategic amendments of CAP Strategic Plans. For this purpose, strategic amendments should be defined in Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 as amendments of important elements of the CAP Strategic Plans that significantly impact the strategy and intervention logic of those plans, including transfers of financial allocations between the EAFRD an…

Removed:Recital 55: (55) Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 sets out impact, result and output indicators pursuant to Article 7 of that Regulation. The table ‘Annual performance clearance – OUTPUT’ in Annex I to that Regulation should be replaced to introduce output indicators linked with the newly introduced type of intervention and the amended types of intervention and to take into account the deletion by this Regulation of the annual performance clearance provided for in Article 54 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2116.
Removed:Recital 56: (56) Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 lists the relevant paragraphs of Annex 2 to the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (‘Green Box’) for each type of intervention of that Regulation. The newly introduced type of intervention for crisis payments to farmers under rural development referred to in Article 78a of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should therefore be included in that Annex.
