Dear Madam, Sir,

The Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council amending Regulations (EU) 2021/2115 and (EU) 2021/2116 as regards good agricultural and environmental condition standards, schemes for climate, environment and animal welfare, amendments to CAP Strategic Plans, review of CAP Strategic Plans and exemptions from controls and penalties (COM(2024) 139 final; 2024/0073 (COD)) contained the following paragraph:

"In view of the widespread farm protests and to analyse the administrative burden weighing on farmers’ shoulders as well as identify areas for improvement, the Commission has written to four main EU-level farming organisations asking them for proposals of measures at EU level (CAP and other EU legislation) which can reduce administrative burden for farmers. A similar letter has been sent by the Belgian Presidency of the Council to the Ministers of Agriculture, asking them to identify issues at EU level which can reduce administrative burden for farmers. Also, the European Parliament’s committee for agriculture and rural development sent a letter identifying six areas where they consider that concrete and immediate action is necessary. The urgent nature of this proposal did not allow for a normal consultation process."

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- All documents the Commission received in the context of the above-quoted ad-hoc consultation process.

Only digital copies are required, please consider the environment by not sending me any physical mail.

I am of course available to clarify my request further if needed.

Sincerely
Peter Teffer
