Question for written answer E-002489/2024/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Emmanouil Kefalogiannis (PPE)
The agricultural reserve is established under Article 16 of the horizontal CAP regulation with a minimum annual budget of EUR 450 million, and can also cover exceptional circumstances based on Articles 219-221 of the Regulation establishing a common organisation of the markets (CMOs).
The rise in extreme weather conditions and the ongoing effects of general macroeconomic conditions such as EU-wide inflation, are causing concern among Greek farmers regarding the sufficiency of agricultural reserve funds and the degree of transparency with which these funds are distributed among the Member States.
In view of this:
- 1.How does the Commission guarantee the objectivity of the criteria for distributing the funds and determining the amounts?
- 2.What measures will it put forward to provide compensation to farmers for extreme weather conditions, in the context of the CAP, after 2027?
