Justification

This amendment clarifies that the allocation for less developed regions should remain dedicated to Cohesion Policy objectives. While investments in agriculture, rural development and home affairs may also benefit these regions, they pursue distinct policy objectives and should not be counted against Cohesion Policy allocations. Preserving a dedicated envelope is essential to maintain the effectiveness and added value of Cohesion Policy.

Co-Rapporteurs proposed an allocation of €63.72 billion for transition regions in their draft report. The proposed amount is increased to €71 billion in current prices in order to reflect the growth in the population living in transition regions and to ensure that each region receives at least the current average level of per capita support. The number of transition regions has increased overall, with four additional regions in Germany, one each in Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal and Romania, and two additional regions in Poland now falling into this category.

Justification

The funding historically committed to sectoral interventions should be maintained at least at the same level, and ringfenced in order to ensure continuity of payments. Within this funding, dedicated envelopes should be set for each sector. The fruit and vegetable sector needs to be by an EU budget that not subdivided into national allocations, to ensure continuity and commonality.

Or. en

Justification

As in the current programming period, specific amount should be ring-fenced for the outermost regions in accordance with Article 349 of TFEU. In addition, the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in the outermost regions face specific challenges which justify the creation of a dedicated instrument similar to the POSEI scheme, with a minimum reserved allocation. This “POSEI fisheries programme” would include at least the current allocation for the outermost regions. The amount of the minimum ring-fenced allocation should correspond to the level endorsed by the European Parliament’s PECH Committee in its opinion on the NRPP report (André Franqueira Rodrigues report).

Justification

Wine sectorial interventions within the current CAP should count on a minimum allocated amount given the crisis faced by the sector for which EP and Council adopted the Regulation (EU) 2026/471. This regulation includes relevant provisions to tackle the effects of climate change for the wine sector.

Amendment 2714

Maria Noichl

Proposal for a regulation

Article 10 – paragraph 2 – point a – point ii

Or. en

Justification

Ringfencing is essential to prevent a likely drop in agri-environmental and climate funding, ensuring dedicated, fair financing for transition tools and shared EU goals. The €115.2 billion proposed (27% of the current CAP income support budget) matches current spending on agri-environmental measures under CAP Pillar 1 and 2.

Amendment 2715

Ivan David, Volker Schnurrbusch, Stanislav Stoyanov

Proposal for a regulation

Article 10 – paragraph 2 – point a – point ii

Or. en

Justification

The proposed allocation of EUR 430 billion for the Common Agricultural Policy is insufficient to simultaneously meet the Union’s growing ambitions for the agricultural sector, ensure a fair adjustment for inflation, and deliver stronger support for generational renewal. The introduction of a dedicated allocation of 10% of the CAP budget for young farmers represents an important political objective that should be supported. However, this objective cannot be achieved at the expense of the broader farming community, which is already facing increasing production costs, additional environmental and climate-related obligations, and rising administrative requirements. If the Union aims to maintain existing commitments, provide enhanced support to young farmers, and ensure that all farmers receive a fair level of support reflecting inflationary developments and increasing expectations placed upon the sector, the CAP budget must be reinforced accordingly. For this reason, the overall financial envelope should be increased.

Article 10 – paragraph 2 – point a – point ii

Or. en

Justification

To secure an economically viable, competitive, and resilient agricultural sector capable of ensuring long-term food security and generational renewal, the CAP budget must be maintained at its current level and fully adjusted for inflation. The Commission's proposed 10% "rural target" within the NRPP is insufficient to meet TFEU objectives and must be increased to a concrete, ring-fenced allocation of at least 20% to directly benefit farmers and cooperatives. Furthermore, the suggested two-thirds allocation from the mid-term review must be legally integrated into this ring-fenced CAP budget to prevent a loss of policy commonality and guarantee a level playing field across the Union.

Or. en

Justification

To ensure that sectoral interventions can continue to be adequately financed on a non-discriminatory basis, regardless of the Member State where the producer organisation (PO), APO or TPO is based, sectoral interventions should continue to be financed directly from the EU-budget and not sourced from national allocations. Until now the support for producer organisations is funded directly from EAGF. In this way producers are incentivized to work together, regardless of the Member State they are located in, and even across Member States.

Or. en

Justification

The proposed amendment seeks to preserve the integrity and level playing field of the EU school schemes by establishing an exclusive, ring-fenced budget line within the Single Fund, completely separate from the core agricultural budget. Funding this policy via non-ring-fenced NRPP amounts paired with a mandatory 30% national co-financing layer creates severe funding uncertainty and risks uneven implementation across Member States. To safeguard the single market and ensure predictable implementation, this dedicated envelope must be strictly maintained at EU level, equivalent to the current CAP baseline adjusted for inflation, estimated at a minimum of EUR 1,757 million.

Justification

The aim of this amendment is to ensure that the financial support earmarked for the current additional allocations for the outermost regions under the ERDF and ESF+ is ring-fenced, together with the funding allocated to the schemes designed to compensate for additional costs in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. These allocations represent a historic achievement for the outermost regions, and any questioning of them would have particularly detrimental consequences. They are essential in that they aim to offset the permanent structural constraints faced by these territories due to their geographical remoteness, insularity, double insularity or landlocked status, the small size of their markets, economic dependence, and the additional costs associated with trade, supply and infrastructure. They contribute to economic development, competitiveness and social cohesion. Ultimately, this funding ensures fair and balanced development.

Justification

We welcome the EP amendment which earmark the current additional allocations for the outermost regions under the ERDF and ESF+ and it ring-fenced them. We request an additional and specific financial allocation for the outermost regions (ORs) and the sparsely populated territories of Northern Europe, with a budget similar to that proposed by the European Parliament’s REGI Committee in its opinion report on the interim report (Dragos Benea report) for both type of regions. The amount proposed by the draft report on NRPP of EUR 2.1 billion refers only to the compensation of the Outermost Regions under Article 349 TFEU and does not take into account the compensation for sparsely populated regions. Therefore, this amount should be EUR 2 644 104 713.

Article 10 – paragraph 5

Justification

In order to increase the amount of funding available for CAP interventions and to make support dedicated to rural areas, especially within measures which could be identified under second pillar of the CAP, more visible within national and regional partnership plans, it is proposed to introduce an additional provision obliging Member States to dedicate to rural areas at least 10% of their NRP allocations.

Or. en

Justification

The attachment to the letter sent by the President of the European Commission on 9.11.2025 addressed to the President of the European Parliament and to the Prime minister of Denmark titled contains the rural target of 10%. This rural target is compatible with the draft report and the reorganisation of the proposal it includes. Furthermore, to make it even more useful, it would be appropriate to link the rural target directly with the activities outlined in Article 3 paragraph 1, point (d) letter (iii) which is hereby being amended to read "improving the attractiveness and living standards, including access to healthcare and social care, in rural areas and fair working conditions and fostering generational renewal;". This would clarify the scope for the funding related to the rural target.

Dragoş Benea

Article 13 – paragraph 2

Justification

Based on the experience so far, the extended scope of the Plan resulted from grouping of several policies and the associated systemic transformation, the considerable costs that Member States will have to bear to ensure smooth coordination and adaptation of the management and control system, as well as delivery of reforms, the flat-rate for the technical assistance has to be increased. The level of the technical assistance has to be significantly higher.

Amendment 2897

Şerban Dimitrie Sturdza

Proposal for a regulation

Article 13 – paragraph 2

Or. en

Justification

For 2021-2027 Interreg, TA was reimbursed as flat rate linked to the estimated total costing, not to the payment applications. Management, functioning and information is complex and the related costs are high in Interreg and still occur regardless of the spending pace at project level (backed up by the findings of the SWD on ex-post evaluation of ERDF and CF 2014-2020, which shows that Interreg programmes generally have higher administrative costs for programme authorities due to their complex geography) or other decommitments/corrections. In partner countries where such capacity is limited, a higher volume of technical assistance is necessary to ensure effective absorption of funds, compliance with applicable rules and the successful implementation of the programmes.

The aim of this amendment is to ensure consistency in the treatment of the outermost regions across the chapters of the NRPP and those of the Interreg Programme. Furthermore, the NRPP chapters involve higher financial volumes and an equivalent level of administrative complexity. This rate makes it possible to strengthen administrative capacities in the outermost regions in view of their structural constraints as referred to in Article 349 TFEU, thereby ensuring the effective management of funds.

The technical-assistance flat rate of 3% is lower than the ESF + enjoyed in 2021-2027 and inadequate for plans integrating several funds. Raising it to a 6% ceiling, with 10% for outermost-region chapters, matches the administrative complexity of the new architecture.

The new NRP Plan model, which combines previously separate policies (cohesion, CAP, internal affairs), will place greater demands on, for example, the coordination of the NRP Plan management, the development of a new information system, the strengthening of administrative capacities, and the establishment of control mechanisms. At the same time, it is necessary to consider socio-economic development, rising energy prices, wage costs, etc. It follows from the above that a flat rate of 3% is insufficient and must be increased to at least 5%.

The administrative activities required by the effective implementation of the Plan are constant, irrespective of the result – decommitment or financial correction. The activities are carried under any circumstances and the TA is not related only to certain payment application, but a constant necessity for the management. Therefore, we consider it crucial to maintain this possibility.

The provision allowing for a proportional reduction in TA, e.g. because of financial corrections or failure to meet milestones that are beyond the control of the responsible authority is not acceptable. TA funds are necessary for the creation and operation of administrative and management capacities (payment of salaries, institutional systems, IT platforms, etc.). These would be costs that were legitimately incurred regardless of the final number of investments reimbursed. This provision would have a significant negative impact on the stability of human resources and would be in direct conflict with the principle of legal certainty and predictability.
