  1. Workshop 2: How can Paying Agencies and the European Commission ensure the successful implementation of CAP reform? Questionnaire results Marcin Wardal, ARR

  2. Feedback • 24 questions • importance and difficulty evaluation (score 1 – 5) • open questions: risk and how to mitigate it • Answers from 27 paying agencies / 23 MS • All issues got rather high scores, both for importance and difficulty

  3. 18 6 20 19 9 12 14 13 4 8 24 3 2 15 17 5 21 16 22 1 10 11 CAP reform implementation matrix 6 9 2 23 7

  4. Most critical issues • Ensuring low levels of financial correction (item 19) • Ensuring that scheme payments are legal and regular and have low rates of error (item 20) • Procuring new information systems (item 14) • Delivering relevant ICT and change projects within agreed tolerances for time, cost and quality (item 9)

  5. Keep the direction • Producing revised scheme guidance and forms for claimants (item 13) • Training staff in new processes and instructions (item 17) • Communicating relevant information to stakeholders, including CAP scheme beneficiaries, and ensuring efficient communication between EC services and Paying Agencies on the implementation of schemes (item 6) • Paying CAP scheme beneficiaries on a timely basis (item 18)

  6. Implementation-friendly activities • Easiest and less significant issue: defining tasks to be delegated and taking steps to ensure the proper delegation of tasks • No need to re-evaluate activities

  7. Most difficult issues • Ensuring low levels of financial correction (item 19) • Procuring new information systems (item 14) • Ensuring that scheme payments are legal and regular and have low rates of error (item 20) • Delivering relevant ICT and change projects within agreed tolerances for time, cost and quality (item 9)

  8. Most important issues • Paying CAP scheme beneficiaries on a timely basis (item 18) • Communicating relevant information to stakeholders, including CAP scheme beneficiaries, and ensuring efficient communication between EC services and PA on the implementation of schemes (item 6) • Ensuring low levels of financial correction (item 19) • Ensuring that scheme payments are legal and regular and have low rates of error (item 20)

  9. Main risks and obstacles • too little time – late EU bodies decisions, too short period for implementation, • rules & definitions are unclear, ambiguous and too general, • rules & definitions are too complex and detailed, • rules changing too often, • lack of human resources, • budgetary contstraints, • rules are difficult for beneficiaries, problems with their access to information,

  10. Most wanted solutions • better time scheduling, EU legislation in time, • clear rules, more precise EU regulations, • rules shouldn’t be changed so often, • better communication and cooperation EC – MS (PA), • feedback from EC: guidelines, working documents explaining definitions, etc., • pre-audits and impact assesments, • transition period, 1 year for implementation, • staff trainings, • better communication PA – beneficiaries, • simplification!!!

  11. Other issues • Pre-implementation audits (Item 5): • A pre-audited scheme/activity may be in future subject to the ”classic” (ex-post) audit. • Will the ”classic” auditors be alwaysof 100% the same opinion as the auditors who conducted pre-audit?

  12. Thank you for your attention… …and let’s get to work!
