In order to deliver on its commitment to reduce the administrative burden on EU farmers, the European Commission has proposed to revise certain Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) requirements to bring simplification while maintaining a strong, sustainable and competitive policy for agriculture and food in the EU.
These proposals, linked to conditionality and CAP Strategic Plans, aim to reduce the burden of controls on EU farmers and give them more flexibility to comply with certain environmental requirements. National administrations will also benefit from greater flexibility in the application of certain standards.
The EU Commission has proposed a series of short and medium-term measures to reduce the administrative burden on farmers in the EU. The agriculture ministers discussed the document at their meeting on February 26. An online survey is running until April 8, 2024 to get a clearer picture of the main administrative obstacles that farmers see themselves confronted with.
