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.

The increasing use and exchange of data throughout the agri-food chain requires appropriate safeguards to ensure proportionality, the protection of commercially sensitive information and balanced access to data among actors in the supply chain.

(k) ensuring the traceability of Union funding throughout the implementation chain, with the exception of final recipients.

Or. en

Justification

The existing audit, control and reporting requirements under the Regulation already provide the necessary safeguards for the sound financial management and protection of the Union budget. Introducing additional traceability requirements throughout the implementation chain risks creating disproportionate administrative complexity, increased compliance costs and legal uncertainty for managing authorities and beneficiaries without demonstrating clear added value for the effective implementation of the Fund. In practice, such requirements may necessitate the collection and assessment of information extending beyond the direct recipient of support, creating significant challenges for national authorities in verifying ownership and control structures and ensuring consistent application across Member States. A proportionate and administratively feasible control framework should focus on information that is necessary and directly relevant for effective financial management and audit purposes.

Or. en

Justification

The explicit inclusion of the coordination of the programming process of the NRP Plan chapters within the coordinating function is necessary to ensure systemic coherence and effective multilevel governance. Programming constitutes a foundational phase of the policy cycle, during which strategic objectives, intervention logics, financial allocations, and performance frameworks are defined, thus we strongly consider that programming processes to be conducted in a coordinated, inclusive, and strategic manner, thereby reducing implementation risks at later stages. Fragmentation or ambiguity in the coordination of this phase risks inconsistencies between national, sectoral and regional chapters, duplication of interventions, and misalignment with overarching Plan objectives.

Or. en

Justification

A proportionate and administratively feasible control system is essential for the effective implementation of the CAP. Additional requirements should be limited to what is strictly necessary for sound financial management and the protection of the Union's financial interests. The identification of beneficiaries beyond the direct recipient of support would significantly increase complexity, administrative costs and legal uncertainty for both beneficiaries and paying agencies. In practice, ownership and control structures may be difficult to assess consistently across Member States, particularly in cases involving natural persons or interconnected economic interests. This could lead to divergent interpretations, increased compliance costs and challenges in the uniform application of CAP rules, without delivering commensurate benefits for financial control.

Or. en

Justification

In the case of CAP interventions obligation to prepare and provide a separate document is too burdensome, especially as regards direct support for farmers (given that the number of beneficiaries of that support is very high).

The text is clarifying that the audit authorities are not expected to very the costs during system audits (as they are ~system audits~), as the current proposal leaves the possibility open for the Audit Authorities to verify the underlying costs during system audits, therefore the proposed addition is needed to ensure this division.

(a) at the end of each achieved target, ensure that the total amount received per payment request is proportionate to the results achieved within the relevant payment requests. Where the estimated costs associated with the relevant milestones and targets are demonstrably disproportionate to the results achieved, the difference shall not be retained by the Member State and shall be deducted from the subsequent payment or, where no subsequent payment is available, shall be subject to a financial correction in respect of the corresponding amount.
(b) ensure that information about underlying costs of the operations is compared with the corresponding estimates in the Plans and reported back to the European Commission upon achievement of the target, for the purpose of improving future estimates and enabling adjustments to the Plan.
(c) ensure that national disbursements are done on a cost basis or an average-cost basis and audited by national audit authorities based on a risk assessment of the operations and the relevant managing and paying authorities.
All the information in this paragraph shall be made available to the national audit authorities, the European Commission, and the European Court of Auditors. Both the European Commission and the European Court of Auditors shall be able to audit the proportionality of the amounts received in relation to the results achieved as referred to in point (a), to verify whether the amounts paid were proportionate to the results achieved.
Where a Member State fails to submit the information required under point (a) or point (b) of this Article, the Commission shall suspend the relevant subsequent payment or instalment until the required information has been submitted to the Commission's satisfaction. The Member State shall have 60 days from the date of notification of the suspension to submit the outstanding information. If the required information is not received within that period, the suspension shall be maintained until the information is received and assessed by the Commission. Where no subsequent payment is available, the Commission shall apply a financial correction in respect of the corresponding amount related to the target.
Where, following assessment of the information submitted pursuant to point (a), the Commission determines that the estimated costs associated with the relevant milestone or target were demonstrably disproportionate to the results achieved, the Commission shall deduct the corresponding amount from a subsequent payment to the Member State. Where no subsequent payment is available, the Commission shall apply a financial correction in respect of the corresponding amount.
All the information in this paragraph shall also cover resources disbursed through financial instruments, including loans, repayments and reinvestments, to ensure full traceability of Union funds throughout the implementation chain.
