The list of proposals focuses on three central elements of the CAP:
The greening requirements
Control, on-the-spot checks and sanctions
Payment of direct aid
The number and complexity of the CAP-rules is tremendous, and with the new reform a number of new elements have been introduced.
Neither farmers nor the competent national authorities have the experience to use them.
We foresee that this will create a large number of unintentional incidents of non-compliance. We therefore ask the commission to put fairness at the heart of the new CAP by making room for larger margins of error in the implementing phase of the reform.
The NFU has written to the agriculture commissioner, Mr Hogan, along with the farmers organisations in Germany, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark.
