Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1a) The European added value of CAP expenditure resides in its ability to address Union-wide challenges through a common and coordinated policy framework. This includes ensuring fair competition and a level playing field for farmers across the single market, preventing distortions and fragmentation as a result of divergent national support schemes, and harnessing the strategic use of Union resources to achieve shared objectives. In particular, CAP funding should help to secure fair and stable incomes for farmers and bolster and safeguard the Union’s food sovereignty and resilience. CAP funding also plays a crucial role in maintaining and developing knowledge, innovation and expertise in the field of sustainable food production and supply across the Union. |

|---|---|
| (1a) In its communication of 27 November 2025 entitled ‘A Strategic Framework for a Competitive and Sustainable EU Bioeconomy’, the Commission outlined how the future CAP should support farmers who adopt bioeconomy innovation as well as sustainable and regenerative practices, diversify income sources and cooperate in emerging value chains. Using agricultural biomass such as intermediate crops and residues to produce sustainable biomass for bioenergy and new uses provides an opportunity to diversify farmers’ income sources, strengthen rural value chains, contribute to the Union’s energy security, reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and support the Union’s objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. These sustainable agriculture practices should be deemed compatible with other CAP support mechanisms. |

Recital 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1a) For the first time since the establishment of the CAP, the Commission is proposing that there no longer be a dedicated fund for agriculture. This approach represents a significant departure from the long-established governance and funding structure of the CAP. Complex planning arrangements and a more convoluted legal framework risk causing considerable uncertainty for Member States and beneficiaries, thereby diminishing the predictability and stability upon which farmers and rural communities depend. Moreover, the new measures could slow down the provision of financial support and increase administrative burdens, which could undermine both the Commission’s stated objective of simplification and the effectiveness and credibility of CAP implementation. |

| (1a) The Communication underlines that ensuring the protection of workers' rights on farms and throughout the food supply chain, and fostering fair working and living conditions, is essential to the future of this strategic sector. The CAP post-2027 should contribute to make the agricultural sector more attractive to workers, by including key measures to address labour shortages and enhance the sector's image, particularly to young people. |

| (1b) In its communication of 7 July 2026 entitled ‘EU strategy on livestock’ , the Commission underscored the strategic importance of livestock in the Union, pointing out that livestock farming represents around 40 % of Union agricultural added value and generates EUR 400 billion in turnover per year. In addition, livestock farming has a strong social and territorial impact, employing around 7 million people, with farms distributed across the whole of Europe, often in areas with few alternative economic activities. The Union livestock farming sector also plays a crucial role in food security and sets world-leading standards in the areas of quality, safety and sustainability. In 2025, the Union exported EUR 53 billion’s worth of animal products, while imports amounted to EUR 16 billion. Dairy products led the way – worth EUR 20.7 billion with a net trade surplus of EUR 18 billion. |

| (1b) The Commission’s proposed CAP allocation of approximately EUR 294 billion at Union level represents a reduction of around 20 % in nominal terms compared with the current CAP period, and the figure is even higher once inflation has been taken into account. What is more, continuing to impose environmental and climate requirements while simultaneously reducing financial support risks placing an excessive burden on farmers and undermining the primary objective of ensuring food production and the viability of agriculture. |

| (1c) In its communication of 7 July 2026 entitled ‘Action Plan for resilience, strategic autonomy and sustainability of the EU protein system’, the Commission underscored the fact that the Union’s high dependence on protein supply for animal feed from a limited number of origins makes the European agri-food system more vulnerable to global market fluctuations and affects the Union’s capacity to derisk supply chains. Plant proteins from a variety of edible and non-edible sources should play a significant role in the circular bioeconomy, including when transformed by livestock into feed and organic waste, which should be used to produce biomethane and organic fertilisers. |

Justification
The Commission's national recommendations must remain non-binding, offering Member States broad strategic guidance on overarching objectives such as food sovereignty, fair incomes, and the competitiveness, resilience and development of agriculture and rural areas, rather than prescriptive requirements for National Plans. Treating them as mandatory would undermine the very flexibility the Commission's proposals are designed to preserve, and the Regulation should therefore explicitly define their non-binding character.

| (5a) (5a) Support under the CAP shall be geared towards securing a decent income for farmers in the Union and guaranteeing Union food security. Recent studies have shown that substantial volumes of CAP subsidies are paid, via convoluted business structures, to recipients whose beneficial owners are natural persons from third countries, including members of foreign dynasties and sovereign wealth funds. In order to protect the Union’s financial interests and ensure that large support payments do in fact benefit the Union’s farming community, recipients receiving in excess of EUR 500 000 per annum should demonstrate that their beneficial owners within the meaning of Article 2(1), point 28 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 are Union citizens. In order to avoid imposing a disproportionate administrative burden, the obligation to furnish evidence should apply solely above this threshold and should be deemed fulfilled in the case of natural persons already identified in connection with the integrated administration and control system. To prevent any circumvention of this rule through the artificial division of holdings, support payments should be added together for all affiliated undertakings as well as all undertakings controlled by the same beneficial owners. |

It contributes to fostering a competitive, resilient and sustainable agricultural sector pursuing the benefits of high-quality production and resource-efficiency, which ensures generational renewal and thus long-term food security. CAP support should be focused on active farmers defined in compliance with WTO rules. With a view to further improve the performance of the CAP, area-based income support should be targeted towards farmers who exercise agriculture as a principal activity. Income support should be targeted to farmers who need it most with a particular attention to the farmers in areas with natural constraints, women, young farmers and new farmers. At the same time, rural economic development, ensuring infrastructure improvements and digital transformation that eliminate regional disparities, benefits the attractiveness of rural areas, social inclusion and enhanced employment opportunities in rural areas. |

Justification
Generational renewal is a process that requires a holistic approach. Entry support for young and new farmers will remain limited in impact unless matched with mechanisms that enable the orderly transfer of land, holdings and farming activity from retiring farmers. Addressing entry without addressing succession leaves one of the key bottleneck of land access unresolved.

| (6a) Strengthening the Union’s strategic autonomy, food security and long-term competitiveness requires scaling up the sustainable production of protein crops within the Union. Achieving this transformation requires coherent and coordinated support across the entire value chain, from research and innovation in breeding and seed systems to investments in storage, processing capacity and the development of stable market outlets and consumer demand. The CAP plays a central role in enabling this transition by de-risking farm diversification through targeted income and investment support, advisory services, innovation and risk-management tools, while strengthening farmers’ position in the value chain and their ability to capture added value, including through on-farm processing. Member States are therefore encouraged to design CAP interventions in a strategic and coordinated manner, through a "starter pack for protein crops". Member States should ensure strong complementarity with other Union policies and instruments, including research and innovation programmes, and investment support instruments to foster a favourable food environment for protein crops intended for human consumption as well as for livestock production based on sustainable and locally sourced feed. For the purposes of this Regulation, protein crops should be understood as the crops listed in Annex I, Part IV, of [Regulation (EU) …/… on the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products]. |

|---|---|
| (6a) In order to achieve a level playing field across the EU, provide for legal certainty for young entrants into agriculture and maximise the effectiveness of interventions targeted at young farmers, in particular the starter pack, a uniform definition of the term ‘young farmer’ based solely on age should be established at Union level. The term ‘young farmer’ shall mean any farmer who, upon the date when the relevant aid application is submitted, is 40 years of age or younger and exercises effective and lasting control over the holding, either alone or together with other farmers. Support for young farmers should be available throughout the entire period of time until the upper age limit is reached, and must not be decreased as a result of national time limits imposed in relation to the date of establishment, since otherwise very early farm handovers are especially disadvantaged even though they are most beneficial in terms of generational renewal. A uniform upper age limit which cannot be lowered by the Member States prevents fragmentation of the internal market in relation to the promotion of generational renewal and ensures that young farmers in all Member States are guaranteed equal access to setting-up aid, complementary income support and investment promotion. |
Or. de
Justification
The current legal situation (Article 4(6) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115) grants Member States the freedom to set the upper age limit between 35 years and 40 years. This results in the unequal treatment of young farmers in different Member States. Given that only around 12 % of EU farmers are below the age of 40, a clear, ambitious and uniform definition at Union level is required for generational renewal purposes.

| (6a) With Europe as the fastest-warming continent, extreme weather events, ranging from heatwaves and droughts to floods and hailstorms, are becoming increasingly frequent. In some parts of Europe, water availability is already a severe problem. Moreover, crops are becoming increasingly vulnerable to pests and diseases and the decline in biodiversity is weakening nature’s own means of pollination and pest control. Depleted and polluted soils are less fertile and flood resistant, diminished in their ability to store both carbon and water. These developments pose a serious threat to people’s health and well-being, to food security and to society and the economy in general, especially to agriculture and food systems. Some practices in agriculture and food systems are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions as well as to biodiversity loss, soil degradation, environmental pollution, or overutilization of water resources. At the same time the farming community is amongst the first victims of these multiple crises1a. | |

| (6a) Livestock sector constitutes an essential pillar of the European agriculture and contributes substantially to the European economy. However, the number of livestock farmers is decreasing rapidly due to multiple challenges such as lack of attractiveness, long working hours, limited possibility to take time off, lack of replacement services, high initial investments in infrastructure, difficulty to have access to land and credits, increased administrative burden, and multiplication of animal diseases. To address the specific needs of this sector, each Member States should be required to set in the NRP Plan a strategy for livestock sector that should be based on the assessment of the specific national context. |

| (6b) Agricultural teaching, experimental and research holdings, including teaching establishments operated by agricultural schools and colleges, research farms operated by universities, research institutions and professional bodies as well as state-owned experimental stations, make a vital contribution to training the next generation of farmers, to applied agricultural research and to the transfer of knowledge into practice. If several such holdings are operated by the same legal person, for example a regional authority, university or research institution, the definition of the term ‘holding’ under Union law means that all sites are considered a single holding for CAP-related purposes. This means that measures aimed at large commercial farm structures, such as caps, degressivity, redistribution mechanisms and modulation of support as a function of size, are applied to the training and research holdings as a collective, despite the fact that they are functionally independent; this results in a disproportionate administrative burden, and errors at a single site can jeopardise payments to all sites. Organisationally independent teaching, experimental and research holdings should therefore be treated as independent holdings, subject to stringent conditions. In order to prevent any abuse, the status of an independent holding should be restricted to holdings whose main purpose under national law is agricultural and forestry education and training, research or experiments, which already existed as independent production units prior to the presentation of this proposal and which are managed separately in organisational, personnel and accounting terms. |
Or. de
Justification
The issue affects numerous Member States: the teaching farms of the French lycées agricoles operated by the public educational institutions (EPLEFPAs), the experimental farms of the German Chambers of Agriculture and state agricultural research institutes, the farms of Ireland's Teagasc colleges, as well as the agricultural school farms operated by the Austrian federal states, all of which, under the definition of a holding in Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, have had to be treated as a single holding for each operating entity. The result is a loss of payments through capping and modulation—measures designed for large commercial farming structures—as well as significant administrative risks associated with the submission of a single consolidated aid application. Teaching and research holdings are not agricultural corporations; they train the young people whose establishment this Regulation seeks to promote elsewhere, and they test the farming practices whose adoption it rewards.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7a) In order to harness the economic potential of ecosystem services that benefit the environment, biodiversity and the quality of water, soil and air, the focus should be on holistic, multi-year approaches that are also attractive to younger farmers and combine economic opportunities with sustainable environmental outcomes and social responsibility. These include, in particular, incentives for the growing organic sector through attractive conversion and maintenance support, as well as specific development objectives and action programmes at national level. Organic production, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2028/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council, is a key instrument for achieving the various main priorities for the CAP after 2027, as set out in Article 4 of the CAP Regulation. According to the best practices for agri-environment and climate actions published by the Commission, organic farming contributes holistically to all other CAP priorities at the same time. Furthermore, the organic farming system contributes significantly to the strategic autonomy and resilience of the European agricultural sector under the Common Agricultural Policy through its independence from synthetic chemical fertilisers and related imports, crop diversification, land-based livestock farming and the avoidance of synthetic chemical pesticides, to the strategic autonomy and resilience of the European agricultural sector as envisaged under the Common Agricultural Policy. Member States should prioritise organic farming as a strategic tool. The alignment of business models with agroecological criteria, such as organic farming, should also be considered in the context of generational change, taking into account the increased appeal of such practices to young farmers. At the same time, the market for organic products should be strengthened using the instruments available under the CAP, in combination with various measures at European and national level |

| (7a) Organic farming, extensification of livestock systems, agroecological, agroforestry, regenerative farming systems and close-to-nature forestry contribute to the objectives of the Union relating to climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity protection, soil quality, water resilience and resilience of forestry and agricultural production systems while reducing the dependency on third countries imports related to fossil fuels and artificial fertilizers. By relying on ecological processes, diversification and reduced dependence on external inputs, these approaches strengthen the long-term sustainability and resilience of farms while supporting viable rural communities. The transition towards organic, extensive, agroecological, agroforestry and regenerative farming systems and close-to-nature forestry requires structural changes. Such transitions involve transitional costs and risk for farmers and foresters and therefore require stable, multiannual public support. In order to ensure a coherent and effective contribution of the Common Agricultural Policy to the European Green Deal objectives, it is necessary to ensure financial support for the transition schemes within agri-environmental and climate actions. Member States should allocate an adequate share of CAP funding to support the transition towards such farming systems as defined in the transition plans. |

Justification
The European Commission has acknowledged that the current conditionality system has imposed a huge burden on farmers, triggering a lot of criticism, and has consequently presented a couple of simplification proposals to the current rules to try to make the system more adapted to the realities on the ground. In the future CAP, the European Commission is trying to give a new name to the requirements to be imposed on farmers: farm stewardship. However, the proposed system remains similar to the current one in particular when it comes to constraints and requirements which currently lead to extra costs and payment reductions for farmers.
This amendment clarifies that the baseline level of requirements for farmers should be based on statutory management requirements already laid down in Union law. These requirements already cover key areas such as the environment, climate, public, animal and plant health, and animal welfare. Referring to them as the baseline ensures legal certainty, avoids duplication and prevents the creation of an additional layer of obligations under a new farm stewardship framework. It also preserves the common character of the CAP by maintaining a shared EU baseline and preventing the emergence of divergent sets of rules across Member States. This is essential to ensure consistency, proportionality and equal conditions for farmers throughout the Union.

| (8a) The rural development interventions set out under the second pillar of the CAP, which complement income support for farmers, are of strategic importance to the Union, in that they help to support investment in farms and to maintain and develop agricultural activity, particularly in areas subject to natural or specific constraints. Such interventions promote farm modernisation and innovation, enhance the attractiveness and vitality of rural areas through investment in infrastructure, connectivity and essential services, ensure the sustainable management of natural resources, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation, contribute to territorial cohesion by revitalising the economic and social fabric of rural communities, and promote generational renewal in the agricultural sector by facilitating young farmers’ access to the sector and to the support instruments available. It is therefore important to ensure adequate, consistent and enhanced support for rural development, with a view to promoting the integrated development of rural areas, increasing their resilience, enhancing their attractiveness and countering trends of population decline and structural disinvestment. |

To ensure a genuinely fair and unified internal market, it is essential to effectively complete the process of external convergence of direct payments. This is necessary to eliminate historical disparities and ensure that farmers in those Member States whose allocation per hectare remains below the Union average achieve full parity, thereby establishing equal conditions of competition and strengthening cohesion across the entire European farming community. Income support should contribute to fostering a competitive and resilient agricultural sector pursuing the benefits of high-quality production and resource-efficiency, while ensuring generational renewal and thus long-term food security and agricultural sovereignity. Income support allocations, including the top-ups generated by the agricultural prosperity gap formula, in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 202X/XXXX [NRP Regulation], are to be ringfenced to be used for Income support for farmers only, and allocated to farmers based on criteria established by the Member State, to provide stability and predictability for the Union agricultural sector. In order to ensure high impact and efficiency, the new CAP should entail a streamlined and consistent toolbox of Income support types of intervention enabling Member States to deliver on the CAP objectives. |
Or. en
Justification
While the CAP aims to foster a fairer and more equitable distribution of income support, significant historical imbalances in direct payment allocations per hectare still persist between Member States. To guarantee a true level playing field within the internal market, it is necessary to formally recognize the need to complete the external convergence process. This ensures that farmers in Member States still receiving below the EU average are not competitively disadvantaged, reinforcing the fundamental Union principle of solidarity and ensuring all EU farmers face shared environmental and economic challenges with equal financial backing.
