Regulation (EU) 2024/1468 as regards good agricultural and environmental condition standards, schemes for climate, environment and animal welfare,

Launched in 1962, the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) aims to:
Support farmers and improve agricultural productivity, ensuring a stable supply of affordable food;
Safeguard European Union farmers to make a reasonable living;
Help tackle climate change and the sustainable management of natural resources;
Maintain rural areas and landscapes across the EU;
Promote jobs in farming, agri-food industries and associated sectors.

The first reforms to introduce climate considerations into the CAP took place in 2013. The CAP is a common policy for all EU countries. It is managed and funded at European level from the resources of the EU’s budget.

Amended

<p>This Regulation sets out how EU Member States design and implement their CAP Strategic Plans for the period 2023-2027, covering direct payments to farmers, sectoral interventions and rural development funding. It ties CAP support to seven specific objectives (e.g., viable farm income, climate change mitigation  adaptation, ecosystems/biodiversity) and establishes a performance and monitoring framework to ensure that these objectives are met.The amendments brought further specification of the reporting, monitoring and verification of the Strategic Plans. Also, The Regulation 2024/1468 improves the conditionality system (good agricultural and environmental conditions), revisions to eco-schemes for climate/environment/animal welfare, review provisions of the Strategic Plans, and exemptions from control and penalties in specific circumstances.</p>
