Recital 2
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 established the principle that farmers who do not comply with certain requirements in the areas of public, animal and plant health, environment and animal welfare shall be subject to reductions of or the exclusion from direct support. This «cross- compliance» system forms an integral part of Community support under direct payments and should therefore be maintained. However, experience has shown that a number of the requirements under the scope of cross compliance are not sufficiently relevant to the farming activity or the farm land or concern national authorities rather than farmers. It is therefore appropriate to adjust the scope and requirements of cross compliance, while, nevertheless, taking account of the particular features and the structure of farms in the Member States.

Recital 19
(19) The management of small amounts is a burdensome task for the competent authorities of the Member States. To avoid excessive administrative burden it is appropriate for Member States tomay refrain from granting direct payments where the payment would be lower than the Community average support for one hectare or the eligible area of the holding for which support is claimed would relate to less than one hectare. Special provision should be made for those Member States whose farm structure differs significantly from the average Community one. Member States should be given discretion to opt for the implementation of one of the two criteria taking account of the particularities of the structures of their agricultural economies. As special payment entitlements were allocated to farmers with so-called "landless" holdings the application of the hectare-based threshold would be ineffective. Such farmers should therefore be subject to the averages support-based minimum amount.
