(40a) EGNOS can assist precision agriculture and help European farmers eliminate waste, decrease over-application of fertilisers and herbicides, and optimise crop yields. EGNOS already has an important “user community”, but the number of farming machinery compatible with navigation technology is more limited. This issue should be tackled.

(47a) The full potential of the Copernicus programme in support of agriculture can be further developed and exploited.

Recital 47 b (new)
(47b) Data from the Copernicus Sentinels and other Earth observation missions can replace the physical visits to farms and checks that are necessary for the EU to issue payments to farmers. Satellite monitoring of land parcels is already being used in several Member States and is supporting the Paying Agencies by lowering the number of required on-the-spot checks. The ideal for the future is a process where the Paying Agencies can make direct payments to farmers based on satellite images and registry information, thus reducing the costly and time-consuming bureaucratic procedures and moving slowly towards a monitoring approach.
