OBJECTIVES
OF THE FUTURE CAP
NEW TARGETS
•ensuring food security,
•increase the competitiveness of European agriculture,
•development of renewable energy production,
•public goods:
•environmental protection in rural areas (biodiversity, water management ...)
•mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Reform of the CAP
• Challenges:
– Economic
- food security (EU and globally), price
volatility, economic crisis;
• Reasons:
– Environmental - Environment (destruction of land, air
and water quality, decline in biodiversity) and climate
change (sustainable management, greenhouse gas
emissions, RES);
– Territory - (strengthening social and territorial
cohesion, vitality, diversity of EU agriculture).

The new programming period
2014-2020
– New financial perspective – debate over the level
of support in the individual pillars.
– Appear:
• New RDP,
• New system of direct payments,
• New market regulations.
„GREENING” - proposals
• Direct payments and „greening”
component;
• Organic farms in principle included in the
payment of "greening";
• Farms in Natura 2000 areas eligible for
"greening" payments.
Direct
payments
Minimum
level of direct
payment
LFAs in 2nd pillar
would end.
Basic income
support
(basic decoupled
direct payment,
plus fulfilment
of cross-compliance
requirements)
and an
upper ceiling
for direct
payments (capping)
„Greening"
component
of direct payments
and
possibility of
enhancing
certain elements
of GAEC
standards
Support to small
farmers – no controll
Simplification of
cross
compliance rules
Payment for pro-environmental actions
(GREENING) - proposals
• Crop diversification;
• Permanent grassland - a reference level;
• Areas excluded from the production - setaside land, landscape elements, buffer
zones.
Agricultural Advisory System
• The specific role of agri-environmental
consultancy and training for farmers.
• The new issues for advisory system:
– climate changes;
– support for small farms.
CROSS - COMPLIANCE
• Emphasize the role of the instrument as
a tool for decoupling;
• Discussion on the shape of the
instrument;
• Proposition that small farms are not
subject to inspection.
GAEC
Reformulation of the requirements - an
attempt to generalize and standardize.
Proposed new standards, such as protection
of wetlands?
New agri-environmental programme
•
•
•
•
•
Mandatory instrument;
5-7-year commitment;
Cross-compliance;
Organic agriculture as a separate action;
More specialized program and real goals;
BUT does that mean that the easier?
