Recital 5

(5) In light of the fact that the Union should continue to support rural development in 2021 and, where applicable, in 2022, Member States, that demonstrate the risk to run out of funds and not to be able to undertake new legal commitments in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, should have the possibility to extend their rural development programmes or certain of their regional rural development programmes supported by the EAFRD to 31 December 2021 and to finance those extended programmes from the corresponding budget allocation for the year 2021. The extended programmes should aim at maintaining at least the same overall level of environment and climate ambition, thereby requiring at least the same overall level of EAFRD expenditure for the measures referred to in Article 59(6) of that Regulation.
