Or. en
Justification
The current wording creates ambiguity by linking “maintaining extensive livestock farming” and “extensification” in the same paragraph (1a), even though these two approaches correspond to distinct objectives and support mechanisms.Maintaining extensive systems already in place (grazing, permanent grassland, pastoralism) falls under support granted as management commitments (1a) and should not be made conditional on a transformation pathway.

Supporting financially organic farmers rewards the delivery of ecosystem services, ranging from protecting water from pollution, preserving and enhancing the biodiversity and highly contributing to the fertility of soils. These benefits are not only positive for the environment: they are also necessary to ensure the productivity of the EU agri-food system for the future and therefore have a strong economic value. Therefore, maintenance support to organic farmers are payments for the delivery of ecosystem services.

Article 10 – paragraph 2 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2a. Member States shall describe how the allocation of support for organic farming under both forms of action in paragraph 1 contribute to their National Organic Action Plan and target for agricultural land under organic farming and estimate to what extent the support benefits the Member states’ ability to meet the target. Member states should make sure that the support received by organic farmers increases compared to the previous programming period and is based on an ambitious and realistic growth of the sector. This growth should be evaluated with a comprehensive policy instruments set as described in the National Organic Action Plan. |

Justification
Under the ongoing programming period, several member states have already decreased conversion and/or maintenance support which risks destabilising the sector.

The NRPP should clearly define, base on the objective and a type of a committment, the minimal length of a committment.

To implement the support for transition actions referred to in paragraph 1, point (b), Member States shall describe in the NRP Plan the production systems that they deem beneficial for the climate and environment. | Support for the transition actions referred to in paragraph 1, point (b), may be granted on the basis of a transition action plan drawn up by a farmer, following the requirements as defined by the Member State, and approved by the Member State.

Or. en
Justification
It is important that the requirements for this transaction plan are defined by the Member States themselves. Member States have their own needs in terms of the climate and the environment (as acknowledged later on in paragraph 4), so these transition plans, likewise, cannot look the same across the European Union. This is to avoid that farmers need to provide information which is not applicable or available in their specific context and deters them from using this innovative mechanism.

Justification
The current formulation would allow for funding of "protective practices". This runs counter to a historical principle of the CAP, which is not to finance the basic line ensuring a level playing field between member states. The amendment aims to maintain a level playing field.Public funds must be used to finance public goods. Compliance with environmental, climate or animal welfare legislation established at national level constitutes a legal obligation and cannot justify the granting of public support. While the objective of limiting potential distortions of competition resulting from more ambitious national regulatory frameworks may be understandable, the primary purpose of Agri-environmental and climate actions

Coupled support is an essential tool for sustaining vulnerable and strategically important sectors. This support is key to maintaining production, employment, the rural fabric and food security in sectors such as livestock farming, dried fruit, apiculture, sunflowers or olive groves in mountainous areas. The text must not weaken this support through an excessively restrictive or optional approach.
