"As regards the coordination of the rural development instrument and the other Structural Funds with the partnership contracts between the Commission and the Member States and regions, this will, at the strategic planning phase for use of this fund, allow the regions to ensure that the various programmes complement one another with a view to resolving the problems concerned. In this case, the Member States and the regions will have to draw up a set of indicators to show how they will achieve certain objectives that have been laid down in the Europe 2020 strategy by using the various funds in the different sectors of the economy. That will therefore enable us, at the strategic planning phase, to use this coordination and organise clear discussions between the Commission’s services and the various services of the respective Member States. In that regard, coordination with the partnership contracts will be better from 2014.
Cross-compliance is enshrined in legislation that already exists at European level: environmental legislation that covers not only the agricultural sector but also the industrial sector and other sectors of the economy. When it comes to agriculture, it was decided that entitlement to these subsidies should be conditional upon compliance with existing legislation. In this respect, however, we have also tried, through the legislative proposals that you and the Council are currently examining, to simplify and clarify the cross-compliance measures that apply to farmers.
These measures were previously included in different directives and regulations, but now we have grouped them together and clarified what is required of farmers and what the authorities must check. We have also reduced the number of measures by doing away with the measures that were not relevant or important from an environmental or economic point of view but had a higher administrative cost.
The simplification document, which I have already sent to members of Parliament’s Committee on Agriculture, contains all of the details on the simplification of cross-compliance."@en1
