For new commitments to be undertaken from 2021 Member States shall determine a shorter period of one to five years in their rural development programmes.

Justification

The amendment establishing a shorter than five-year commitment period in 2021 generates excessive administrative burden, especially in combination with parallel work on the strategic plan. Agri, environment, climate and ecological commitments under the rural development programs 2014-2020 are multi-annual. The best solution is to provide MS the option of setting the duration of commitments undertaken in 2021 for a period of 1 to 5 years.

Justification

The full convergence of per hectare payments is a higher level objective of the CAP, the decision to allow member states to decide that payment entitlements held by farmers on 31 December 2019 would not be fully converged was a derogation to this objective that was provided for in paragraph 4 of article 25 of EU Regulation No 1307/2013. It would be inconsistent with the Parliament position of achieving this objective to stop the convergence process during the Transitional period.

Member States may make aid available to support farmers in their adoption of practices entailing a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The practice of digital farming (precision farming) shall be regarded as an appropriate crop management practice for purposes of equivalence of measures providing for conditionality/greening or as a more virtuous practice compared to equivalent practices providing for ‘greening’.

Justification

Farmers entitled to a payment under the basic payment scheme or the single area payment scheme, both of which entail a significant lowering of greenhouse gas emissions in order to achieve carbon neutrality or carbon capture, should be able to benefit from an additional payment. A list of emissions lowering practices will need to be establish for this purpose and should include precision farming, which should be recognised as an appropriate crop management practice.

Justification

The fight against climate change demands urgent measures to achieve the Union´s commitments from the Green Deal, and to pave the way to further reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the direction of carbon neutrality. Therefore, the amendment aims at making the current 'greening' provisions more ambitious and improving the way farmers manage and use EU lands and natural resources, as agriculture and forestry, together representing more than 80% of EU’s land, can play a crucial role in this process as they are the only sectors able to absorb CO2, and provide the much-needed carbon sinks.

Justification

The fight against climate change demands urgent measures to achieve the Union´s commitments from the Green Deal, and to pave the way to further reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the direction of carbon neutrality. Therefore, the amendment at making the current 'greening' provisions more ambitious and improving the way farmers manage and use EU lands and natural resources, as agriculture and forestry, together representing more than 80% of EU’s land, can play a crucial role in this process as they are the only sectors able to absorb CO2, and provide the much-needed carbon sinks.

Justification

This amendment aims to restore the amounts under the POSEI, in line with the European Parliament’s Resolution of 14 November 2018 on the CFP for the period 2021-2027 – and the commitments made by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Cayenne on 27 October 2017. It is also proposed to increase the ceiling only of the French overseas departments for the specific supply regime. This increase aims to meet the growth forecasts for the needs of animal feed chains and will not lead to an increase in the overall POSEI budget.

Justification

This amendment proposes an increase in the ceiling of the amounts that can be used in the

special supply arrangements in order to meet the growth forecasts for local animal production without causing an increase in the overall budget of POSEI or withdrawing funding for the ORs of Spain and Portugal. In recent years the production of the animal sectors of the French overseas departments has increased which has led to a slightly greater volume of food imports for this additional animal production. The aim of increasing the ceiling of special supply arrangements is to reduce the cost of importing these foods.
