They contribute 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. With a view to improve the performance of the CAP, the role played by area-based income support should be limited as it contributes to artificial inflation of the value of land and farms, which is detrimental to generational renewal. Area-based income support must be made degressive and capped per farm so that it is more targeted. All income support should be targeted to farmers who need it most and to the most vulnerable crops, with a particular attention to the farmers in areas with natural and climate constraints, women, young farmers and new farmers. Area-based income support should be gradually replaced with more effective tools to guarantee fair agricultural income, including coupled support, payments for environmental services, funding for producer organisations, and public regulatory measures to reduce the excessive instability of agricultural markets. At the same time, rural economic development, ensuring infrastructure improvements and digital transformation that reduce regional disparities, benefits the attractiveness of rural areas, social inclusion and enhanced employment opportunities in rural areas.

Justification

Member States must be granted the flexibility to define the eligibility criteria in a clear, simple, and operational manner that reflects their unique national conditions, structural realities, and existing administrative systems, while fully safeguarding the functioning of the internal market. This adjustment is vital to ensure that the regulation does not inadvertently preclude or restrict the granting of income support to part-time or pluri-active farmers, who represent a significant and economically essential part of the agricultural fabric in many Member States.

Justification

Income support remains a key instrument to ensure the economic viability, resilience and competitiveness of the Union agricultural sector and to contribute to long-term food security and agricultural sovereignty. The definition of farmers eligible for support should remain sufficiently flexible to reflect the diversity of agricultural structures and production models across Member States. The reference to “principal activity” should therefore be replaced by a more operational approach based on the exercise of a minimum productive agricultural activity, while allowing Member States to define appropriate criteria in line with their national conditions and existing administrative systems. Such an approach should not exclude pluri-active or part-time farmers, who continue to play an important role in maintaining agricultural activity and rural vitality in many regions of the Union. In addition, cooperatives, producer organisations and associations of producer organisations play an essential role in strengthening farmers’ position in the food supply chain, aggregating production, processing agricultural products and supporting investments and innovation. The CAP framework should therefore allow the use of the broader concept of “beneficiary” where relevant for the implementation of CAP interventions.

This should take into account their national conditions and existing systems while protecting the functioning of the internal market. In amending recital 45 and the definition, the concept of “principal activity” should be removed, instead referring to “natural or legal persons or groups of natural or legal persons exercising a minimum productive agricultural activity on their holding(s)” while not precluding the granting of support to pluri-active or part-time farmers in accordance with the criteria established by Member States. We also propose the deletion of the reference to “small” legal person since the size of the entity should not be relevant for the eligibility for support. Besides individual farmers, cooperatives, Producer Organisations (POs) and Associations of Producer Organisations (APOs) play an important role in the implementation of several CAP interventions (e.g. interventions in certain sectors, investments, etc.). In this case, the definition governing the CAP interventions should reflect the activities of these structures (aggregating and marketing members’ production, providing inputs, processing agricultural products etc.).

The creation of dedicated funding for the fisheries sector is requested. It is stressed that robust, predictable support is crucial to safeguarding food security and improving the competitiveness of the sector, including decarbonisation and modernisation of the fishing fleet and the promotion of generational renewal. The need to preserve a clear and differentiated budgetary architecture for cohesion policy, protecting its strategic, long-term nature, is underlined. That policy should be based on the effective involvement of the regions and tailoring investments to their specific needs. A lack of clear guidance on investment priorities and intervention areas for cohesion and regional development funds can undermine effectiveness and European added value. The characteristics and challenges of regions affected by depopulation, which weaken economic, social and territorial cohesion, are acknowledged and it is emphasised that those regions require specific, sustained Union support to guarantee access to quality public services, connectivity and economic opportunities. It is stressed that addressing depopulation should be an explicit priority of the Union for the 2028-2034 period and should be systematically included in the National and Regional Partnership Plans. Member States are encouraged to earmark a specific share of investment for measures to tackle depopulation, promoting the creation of quality jobs and economic activity that is adapted to the regions’ needs.

Therefore, the concerned Member States should include measures to support each outermost region in their NRP plan to provide for their specific needs and challenges such as food security, housing, transport, water and waste management, energy, education and skills, migration, climate change resilience and adaptation, environmental protection, access to healthcare, energy, transport and digital connectivity and economic development, including a sustainable and diversified blue economy.(47) The outermost regions face specific challenges linked to their remoteness, topography and climate as referred to in Article 349 TFEU and also have specific assets, in particular to develop a sustainable blue economy. Therefore, the concerned Member States should include a dedicated chapter for outermost regions in their NRP plan to address their specific needs and challenges and reduce structural dependencies in particular a sustainable healthy food production and food security, housing, transport, water and waste management, energy, education and skills, migration, climate change resilience and adaptation, environmental protection, improve access to quality and affordable essential services and to healthcare, enhance renewable energy production and access to sustainable energy, transport and digital connectivity and economic development, including a sustainable and diversified blue economy. Several outermost regions (ORs) continue in particular to experience persistent and structural handicaps within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU in ensuring secure, continuous, affordable and high-quality access to drinking water, thereby undermining the Union's commitments under the European Pillar of Social Rights. Dedicated measures should therefore support the upgrading, rehabilitation, modernisation and climate-resilience proofing of drinking water infrastructure in the ORs, contributing to addressing historical infrastructure deficits and to achieving convergence towards the level of access to essential water services enjoyed elsewhere in the Union. Several ORs continue to face the long-term consequences of contamination by chlordecone and other persistent organic pollutants, resulting in significant and enduring adverse impacts on human health, biodiversity, soils, freshwater and marine ecosystems, food production systems, economic activities and social cohesion. Given the scale, duration and territorial specificity of such contamination, those challenges constitute a distinct environmental and public health constraint affecting the development of the outermost regions within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU. The Union should therefore recognise the remediation of persistent environmental contamination in outermost regions as a priority objective of territorial cohesion, environmental justice, public health protection and sustainable development. Measures should also address the specific challenge of substandard and degraded housing, which affects a disproportionate share of the population in several outermost regions. To that end, they shall include in their National Programmes targeted measures for the renovation, rehabilitation, replacement or upgrading of such housing, including with regard to access to basic sanitation and drinking water, energy efficiency and climate resilience, accompanied by appropriate financial envelopes ensuring affordability and accessibility for the most vulnerable households, in line with the principles of the Just Transition Framework and the Renovation Wave strategy. Finally, several outermost regions are disproportionately exposed to drug trafficking and related organised crime due to their geographic position, insularity and proximity to major trafficking routes. Those phenomena generate severe consequences for the security, social cohesion, public health and economic development of the regions concerned. Addressing drug trafficking requires tailored Union support measures reinforcing law enforcement capacity, judicial cooperation, customs and border-control capabilities, maritime and air surveillance, prevention, public health responses, social reintegration and cooperation with relevant third countries.

They also have specific assets, particularly in terms of biodiversity, sustainable blue economy, sustainable transition, and geostrategic positioning. Therefore, the concerned Member States should include measures to support each outermost region with adequate allocations in their NRP plan to provide for their specific needs and challenges such as food security, housing, transport, water and waste management, energy, employment and labour mobility, particularly for young people, education and skills, training, brain drain, social inclusion, migration, climate change resilience and adaptation, conservation and restoration of nature, environmental protection, access to healthcare, social services, accessibility, energy, and digital connectivity and economic development, including a sustainable and diversified blue economy. Pursuant to Article 349 TFEU, the Union is required to adopt specific measures for the outermost regions, taking account of their permanent handicaps. To that end, a specific additional financial allocation should be granted to those regions, distinct from the envelope allocated to less developed regions, so as not to dilute their specific resources for the benefit of other categories of regions. That specific allocation should be used to offset the structural additional costs associated with the permanent handicaps recognised in Article 349 TFEU. It should be exempt from the thematic concentration requirements applicable to the other components of the Regulation, so as to allow the outermost regions to freely direct their specific resources towards the most pressing needs of their territories.

With regard to agriculture, the measures should be implemented under Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 (the POSEI Regulation) and Regulation XXX on the common agricultural policy (CAP). Given that the financial allocations provided for in Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 have remained unchanged since 2007, and in view of the significant and cumulative increase in agricultural production costs in the outermost regions, which are particularly vulnerable to the effects of inflation and to the structural constraints associated with their remote location, the budgetary allocations for this programme are being increased. Measures concerning fisheries will be included in Regulation XXX of the European Parliament and of the Council [establishing the conditions for the implementation of the Union support to the Common Fisheries Policy and the European Ocean Pact]. Member States should adopt specific measures in the area of fisheries and aquaculture – a ‘POSEI Fisheries programme’ – designed to address the difficulties arising from the outermost location of these regions, with a minimum allocation of EUR 630 000 000, as provided for in Article 48a of this Regulation.

(51) Transparency, information, communication and visibility activities are essential in making Union action visible on the ground and ensuring the traceability of funds and should be based on true, accurate and updated information. To fulfil these goals, it is necessary to provide for appropriate arrangements for collection and reporting of data needed for multiple purposes only once. With a view to avoiding duplication of efforts and reducing the administrative burden for the Member States, data collected and made available for audit and control, transparency, performance monitoring and evaluation should be streamlined and publication requirements should be established with the aim to ensure maximum transparency.(51) Transparency, information, communication and visibility activities are essential in making Union action visible on the ground and ensuring the traceability of funds and should be based on true, accurate and updated information.

With a view to avoiding duplication of efforts and reducing the administrative burden and to simplify bureaucratic processes for the Member States, data collected and made available for audit and control, transparency, performance monitoring and evaluation should be streamlined and publication requirements should be established with the aim to ensure maximum transparency. Clear digital traceability on the use of EU funds all the way to the final recipients including contractors and subcontractors will be enabled through a fully functioning interoperable system. The data shall be digitally summable, meaning that it shall be structured in a way that allows for automated digital collection, combination and analysis. This shall require a standardised, digital format with unique identifiers and comparable structures and factors across sources, enabling aggregation through i) the summing, ii) filtering and iii) grouping of data. The collection has to be proportionate and efficient, and only necessary data should be introduced into the interoperable system. Artificial intelligence will be used to enhance speed of data processing and analysis. A further developed risk scoring tool will be implemented. Thus automated EU-wide analysis and oversight shall be guaranteed. There should be varying levels of access to the data, with full and permanent access given to the IAS and ECA as the auditing authority, full access being granted to Parliament in their role as budgetary authority and as discharge authority and for the purposes of democratic scrutiny, and appropriate publication of data to the public in line with data protection rules and with full respect to business secret. The interoperable system shall lead to less bureaucratic burden for the managing authorities and set an end to the necessity of a multiplied introduction of data in different digital systems being the cause for a high number of errors.

(56a) The Union is facing a range of long-term structural challenges, including demographic change, regional disparities, labour and skills shortages, climate and environmental pressures, security threats, technological transformation and growing geopolitical uncertainty. Addressing these challenges requires predictable and stable investment frameworks capable of supporting long-term planning and delivering lasting results. The effectiveness of public investment depends not only on the level of resources mobilised, but also on the coherence and complementarity of measures across policy sectors. The implementation of the Fund should therefore promote integrated and coordinated approaches across relevant sectors, regions and levels of governance, strengthening institutional resilience, enhancing preparedness and adaptability to changing circumstances and ensuring the effective use of Union resources that generate sustainable economic, social and territorial benefits.

(57) In order to significantly simplify procedures and reduce administrative burden for recipients, Member States and the Commission while providing robust safeguards on the regular and effective use of Union funds, the NRP Plans should embed measures to facilitate implementation, both in their design and implementation as and in monitoring provisions. Such elements should comprise, for instance, providing technical assistance and support to Member States, limiting audit duplications through the application of the single audit approach and moving away from invoice checks to focus on actual results. The national audit authorities and the Commission should not be expected, in that respect, to verify the underlying costs of the operations for the purpose of their audit work. With a view to simplification, technical assistance should be provided throughout implementation via a flat-rate applicable to all payments. The Fund should also provide for sufficient flexibility, whether via streamlined procedures for the amendments of the Plans or better responsiveness to unpredicted crises via multiple mechanisms that allow for mobilising resources for such events, such as revision of the Plan, the flexibility amount or access to the Facility. The Fund should also allow Member States to decide themselves which milestones and targets should be submitted in each payment application on the basis of their respective pace of implementation. With a view to ensuring regular disbursements and the timely delivery of Union objectives on the ground, an annual decommitment rule should ensure that Member States submit regular payment applications for sufficiently substantial amounts.(57) In order to significantly simplify procedures and reduce administrative burden for recipients, Member States and the Commission while providing robust safeguards on the regular and effective use of Union funds, the NRP Plans should embed measures to facilitate implementation, both in their design and implementation as and in monitoring provisions.

Where relevant, technical assistance to strengthen the administrative capacity at national, reginal and local levels may build on and be implemented through existing Union-level platforms and mechanisms, including platforms supporting the just transition. Such platforms can provide valuable support through technical guidance, training, peer learning and exchanges of expertise, thereby fostering cooperation across different levels of governance and contributing to the effective implementation of the Fund.

(59a) Simplified forms of support have proven effective in reducing administrative burden for beneficiaries, managing authorities and audit bodies while ensuring sound financial management and the protection of the financial interests of the Union. Their wider use can improve legal certainty, facilitate implementation and allow public authorities and beneficiaries to focus on the achievement of results, outputs, milestones and targets rather than on complex administrative requirements. I order to further simplify implementation, Member States should be able to rely on existing methodologies, standardised approaches and simplified reimbursement methods. Management verifications and audits relating to simplified forms of support should focus on verifying that the conditions for reimbursement have been fulfilled rather than on the verification of underlying expenditure.

(64a) The ‘One Health’ approach should be applied in full respect of the Member States’ competences and on the basis of scientific evidence, recognising the interdependence between human, animal and environmental health while ensuring the economic, social and environmental sustainability of agricultural and livestock farming activities. Union policies should support a resilient European food model based on quality, safety, transparency and consumer confidence, promote European agricultural and food supply chains and ensure a level playing field for European businesses, avoiding disproportionate regulatory burdens and the relocation of production to third countries with lower environmental, climate, animal welfare or food safety standards.

One Health is a well-established EU policy principle, already reflected across several Union frameworks on health, food safety, animal health and environmental protection. Its inclusion in the NRPP ensures coherent horizontal implementation, while respecting Member State competences, scientific evidence and the need to avoid disproportionate burdens for European farmers and businesses.

(b) the financial rules for Union support to be implemented by means of the National and Regional Partnership Plans (the ‘NRP Plans’), the Interreg Plan as set out in the Regulation XX [Regional development, Chapter II on the Interreg Plan] (the ‘Interreg Plan’) and the EU Facility (the ‘Facility’);(b) the financial rules for Union support to be implemented by means of the National and Regional Partnership Plans (the ‘NRP Plans’), the National and Regional CAP Plans (the NRCAP Plans') as set out in the Regulation XX ( CAP regulation)the Interreg Plan as set out in the Regulation XX [Regional development, Chapter II on the Interreg Plan] (the ‘Interreg Plan’) and the EU Facility (the ‘Facility’);
This amendment implies the inclusion of "NRCAP Plan" in all the Articles concerned.

Or. en

Justification

Based on current CAP strategic plan experience and the existence of a ring-fenced budget, Member States should define National and Regional CAP (NRCAP) Plans directly within this regulation to simplify administration and prevent bureaucratic burden. Establishing NRCAP Plans as a distinct component of the NRPP framework—complete with their own programming and governance structures—is essential to secure full legislative, governance, and financial autonomy for the CAP. Consequently, this consolidation integrates all agricultural rules into the specialized CAP regulation, eliminating their fragmentation across generic frameworks.
