Linkages between the various CMO schemes with other schemes under the CAP

1. Technical Assistance for Development of a Strategy for Alignment with • Common Market Organisation (CMO) Requirements • TR2014/AG/10-A1-01/001 • This Project is co-financed by the European Union and the Republic of Turkey Linkages between the various CMO schemes with other schemes under the CAP Ankara, March, 2018

2. Article 39 TFEU specific objectives of the CAP • to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and ensuring the optimum use of the factors of production, in particular labour; • to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community; • to stabilise markets; • to ensure the availability of supplies; • to ensure reasonable prices for consumers

3. Historicalreferences and measurescriteria The objectives of the CAP have remained unchanged since the Treaty of Rome, worded in such a way as to prove extremely flexible and able to embrace the countless reforms witnessed since the 1980s. The Union legislator therefore has considerable room for manoeuvre when it comes to choosing instruments and determining the scope of reforms and must take account of market trends and the priorities set by the Union institutions at any given time.

4. Links betweenmeasures:1 -The insurance • In case of crisis due, for example, for adverse climatic events, the crop, animal, and plant insurancewas under the cap of the directpayments(Reg. 73/09). Now, with the regulation 1305/13 is under the cap of the ruraldevelopement. • For the wine and fruit and vegetablessectors the insuranceisstillprovided by the first pillar schemebutthereis no overlapping with the one of the second pillar.

5. Links between measures:2 –Direct payments and rural developement To have the supportprovided by the ruraldevelopement I have to be an activefarmer and respect the directpayments’ provisions. Thisaspectconfirmsthe considerable room for manoeuvre to accomplish the objects of the CAP

6. Links between measures:3 – Active farmers and “sofa” farmers Sometimes the respect of the cross- compliance and of the «greening» maytransform an activefarmer more into a «sofa» farmer. For thisreason the OCM has to control and preserve the profitability of the markets and the “fair standard of living for the agricultural community”.

7. Other common objectives Alongside the specific objectives of the CAP set out in Article 39 TFEU, a number of Treaty provisions lay down other objectives which are applicable to all EU policies and measures. On that basis, promoting • a high level of employment (Article 9) • environmental protection to promote sustainable development (Article 11) • consumer protection (Article 12) • animal welfare requirements (Article 13) • public health (Article 168(1)) • economic, social and territorial cohesion (Articles 174 to 178) have become objectives of the CAP in their own right.

8. Towards 2020 FINANCIAL CLEARANCE Like today based on veracity, correctness and completeness of accounts PERFORMANCE CLEARANCE Annual review determining outputs obtained and thereby final eligibility of expenditure incurred in the year

9. Mainsimplifications • EU requirements will be reduced to the minimum strictly necessary for their purpose • Planning of all CAP schemes under a single plan • Avoidance of overlapping of schemes, leading to a simpler and clearer CAP payment • Management and control systems will be largely left to MS, which gives the possibility to alleviate administrative burden • Monitoring with new technologies will be fully implemented • Eligibility of expenditure based on outputs and not on legality and regularity
