  1. CAP REFORMA challenge for Paying Agencies!! April 2013

  2. Process • Timing • Implementation • Greening • Eligibility and Cross-Compliance controls

  3. Timing • Council General approach (March 2013) • (Possible) Trilogue agreement (June 2013) • Continue with present regime for 2014 • Start building new system ASAP! • Urgent need for Commission implementing/delegated acts • Can we deliver in 2015??

  4. Implementation • Moving from a “Single” Payment Scheme to a regime with potentially up to 8 separate measures: • BPS, • Greening, • National Reserve, • Young Farmers Scheme,

  5. Implementation (contd.) • Small Farmers Scheme, • Payment for Areas with Natural Constraints • Re-distributive payment and, • Coupled support. • Each with separate financial envelope. • Carving up the National ceiling, establishing the ceilings for the various measures and creating a new set of entitlements for farmers • Avoiding unused fundswhile, at the same time, not breaching ceilings!!

  6. Greening • A new requirement for farmers and paying agencies • Potential for confusion! (Perm Grassland, Crop diversification and 5% EFA) • Most LPIS systems not geared to identification of landscape features (need for new layer by 2019) • Monitoring crop diversification and Perm Grassland. 5% OTS eligibility controls so 95% system controls • In meantime reliance on paper for EFA controls? • Audit implications (30% of National envelope)

  7. Eligibility Controls • Greening is the new dimension! • Can greening controls be combined with normal eligibility (and CC )controls? • Stability of EFA will be important for inclusion on LPIS • Linear measurement of hedges and buffer strips • Use of matrix to measure environmental benefit of certain EFAs • Will farmers change EFAs?

  8. Cross-Compliance controls • Requirements harmonised in one Horizontal Regulation • Scope is reduced and simplified; a single list of SMRs and GAEC standards • Objectives of GAEC clarified in a separate recital. No more “optional” standards • 18 SMRs now reduced to 13 • Link to FAS and IACS maintained

  9. NEXT STEPS – GETTING THE JOB DONE • A huge challenge but it can be done! • A lot to do in short time-frame • Confusion amongst farmers • Need for Commission implementing/delegated acts. • Building the new system a major challenge for paying agencies
