Recital 30 a (new)
(30 a) Organic farming is developing in many European countries and has a proven track record of delivering public goods, preserving ecosystems services and natural resources, reducing inputs, attracting young farmers and women in particular,creating jobs, experimenting new business models, meeting societal demands, and revitalising rural areas. Yet the growth in the demand for organic products continues to outpace the growth in production. Member States should ensure that their CAP Strategic Plans include objectives to increase the share of agricultural land under organic management in order to meet the increasing demand for organic products, and to develop the whole organic supply chain. Member States may fund organic conversion and maintenance either through rural development measures or through eco-schemes, or through a combination of both, and should ensure that allocated budgets match the expected growth in organic production.

(32) Member States should be allowed to use part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments for coupled income support in order to improve competitiveness, sustainability, and/or quality in certain sectors and productions, especially livestock sector and special crop production, that are particularly important for social, economic or environmental reasons and undergo certain difficulties, and where other tools are not sufficient enough or don't exist. Member States should be free to identify the sectors that should benefits from this. Furthermore, Member States should also be allowed to use an additional part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments to grant coupled income support specifically for the support of protein crop production in order to reduce the Union's deficit in this regard.

(40) In order to ensure a fair income and a resilient agricultural sector across the Union territory, Member States may grant support to farmers in areas facing natural and other area-specific constraints. As regards payments for ANC, the designation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development policy should continue to apply. For the CAP to deliver enhanced Union added on the environment and reinforce its synergies with the financing of investments in nature and biodiversity, it is necessary to keep a separate measure aiming at compensating beneficiaries for disadvantages related to the implementation of Natura 2000 and Water Framework Directives. Support should therefore continue to be granted to farmers and forest holders to help address specific disadvantages resulting from the implementation of Directive 2009/147/EC and Directive 92/43/EEC and in order to contribute to the effective management of Natura 2000 sites. Support should also be made available to farmers to help address disadvantages in river basin areas resulting from the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Support should be linked to specific requirements described in the CAP Strategic Plans that go beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements. Member States should also ensure that payments to farmers do not lead to double funding with eco schemes, while at the same allowing enough flexibility in Strategic Plans to facilitate complementarity between different interventions. . Furthermore, the specific needs of Natura 2000 areas should be taken into account by Member States in the overall design of their CAP Strategic Plans.

(45) Support should enable the establishment and implementation of cooperation between at least two entities in view of achieving CAP objectives. Support can entail all aspects of such cooperation, such as the setting up, certification costs and promotion of quality schemes; collective environmental and climate action; the promotion of short supply chain and local markets; pilot projects; Operational Group projects within the EIP for agricultural productivity and sustainability local development projects, Smart Villages, buyers' clubs and machinery rings; farm partnerships; forest management plans; networks and clusters; social farming; community supported agriculture; actions within the scope of LEADER; and the setting up of producer groups and producer organisations, including producer groups recognised under Regulation (EU) No 1151/12, as well as other forms of cooperation deemed necessary to achieve the specific objectives of the CAP.

Recital 56
(56) In the process of development of their CAP Strategic Plans, Member States should analyse their specific situation and needs, set programme targets linked to the achievement of the objectives of the CAP and design the interventions which will allow reaching these targets, while being adapted to the national and specific regional contexts, including the outermost regions pursuant to Article 349 TFEU. Such process should promote more subsidiarity within a common Union framework, while compliance with the general principles of Union law and the objectives of the CAP should be ensured and while the commonality of the policy is secured. It is therefore appropriate to set rules on the structure and content of the CAP Strategic Plans.

In view of the benefits of organic farming as well as its growing demand which continues to outpace the increase of production, Member States shall assess the level of support needed for agricultural land managed under the organic certification. Member States shall include in their CAP Strategic Plans an analysis of the organic sector’s production, of the expected demand, and of its potential to fulfil CAP objectives, and shall set up objectives to increase the share of agricultural land under organic management as well as to develop the whole organic supply chain. Based on this assessment, Member States shall determine the appropriate level of support towards organic conversion and maintenance either through rural development measures in article65 or through eco-schemes in article 28, or through a combination of both, and should ensure that allocated budgets match the expected growth in organic production.
