With regards to B) the following points were raised:
• The sector wanted to know more about the recent CAP political agreement (and had specific
questions) and was eager to read the final text
• The COM explained the process which foresees currently some work at technical level on the
basic act (to translate the politic agreement between co-legislators) as well as work on
secondary legislations. The target for final adoption of the basic act is November / December
2021
• On the specific questions, COM explained that i) the F&V system was kept without budget limit
(which could be a challenge for future reforms as it’s the only sector with that); ii) the
percentage of expenditure for environmental actions has been increased to 15% with at least
three intervention compulsory (10% or two actions in the current CMO); iii) 2% for innovation
and research is to be considered separately from environmental ring-fence; iv) the role of
Market Observatories has not changed i.e. market and economic intelligence tool for DG Agri
services to support COM decision for market measures.
The Chair thanked the discussion and proposed to have further contact in September once the reform
texts will be known.
