lpv:translated text	"I would like, as the rapporteur for the Committee on Budgetary Control, to stress the importance of Report No 7/2011 of the European Court of Auditors, entitled ‘Is agri-environment support well designed and managed?’, and our recommendations (items 74-83) contained in the report. Agri-environment measures are an important EU policy, and the EU funds allocated for these payments in 2007-2013 amount to EUR 22.2 billion. Agri-environment payments have been part of the EU's rural development policy since 2000, and the Commission shares management of them with the Member States. The Commission evaluates and approves rural development programmes which the Member States draw up and submit. The aim of the payments is to motivate farmers to use methods compatible with protecting and improving the environment. According to the Court of Auditors, the agri-environment policy was not set up in such a way as to bring specific benefits to the environment. The aims of agri-environment payments are not sufficiently specific for it to be possible to assess their achievement, the stated environmental problems do not represent a clear justification for the provision of agri-environment payments, and it is not easy to monitor fulfilment of the policy. It follows from this that Member States should establish clearly targeted rural development programmes, and that the Commission should assess the programmes more rigorously prior to approval. In this context, it is essential to focus the agri-environment regimes on more specific priorities in the next programming period. Agri-environment payments can achieve the desired effects in the areas of biodiversity, the preservation and development of agricultural and forestry systems with natural value, water protection and the fight against climate change."@en1
