(3) The CAP's compliance-driven delivery model should be adjusted to ensure a greater focus on results and performance. Accordingly the Union should set the basic policy objectives, types of intervention and basic Union requirements while greater responsibility and accountability for meeting those objectives should be borne by the Member States. As a consequence, there is a need to ensure greater subsidiarity in order to take better account of the local conditions and needs. Accordingly, under the new delivery model, Member States should be responsible for tailoring their CAP interventions in line with their specific needs and basic Union requirements in order to maximize their contribution to Union CAP objectives and to establish and design the compliance and control framework for beneficiaries.

(4) The CAP encompasses various interventions and measures, many of which are covered by the CAP Strategic Plans referred to in Title III of Regulation (EU) …/… of the European Parliament and of the Council10 [the CAP Strategic Plan Regulation]. Others still follow the traditional compliance logic. It is important to provide financing for all interventions and measures in order to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the CAP such as ensuring a viable support farm income and resilience across the EU territory to enhance food security, increase competitiveness,improve farmers' position, contribute to climate change ,foster sustainable development ,promote employment, growth, social inclusion and local development in rural areas. Those interventions and measures have certain elements in common, therefore their financing should be dealt with in the same set of provisions. However, where necessary those provisions should allow for different treatment. Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council11 governed two European agricultural Funds, namely the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (‘EAGF’) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (‘EAFRD’) (hereinafter the "Funds"). Those Funds should be maintained in this Regulation. In view of the scope of the reform, it is appropriate to replace Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013. _________________ 10 Regulation (EU) …/… of the European Parliament and of the Council of […][…] (OJ L […], […], p. […]). 11 Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 549).

(47) The existing main elements of the integrated system and, in particular, the provisions concerning a system for identifying agricultural parcels, a geo- spatial and an animal-based application system, a system for identifying and registering payment entitlements, a system for recording the identity of beneficiaries and a control and penalties system should be maintained. Member States should continue to use data or information products provided by the Copernicus programme, in addition to information technologies such as GALILEO and EGNOS in order to ensure that comprehensive and comparable data is available throughout the Union for the purposes of monitoring agri-environment- climate policy and for the purposes of boosting the use of full, free and open data and information captured by Copernicus Sentinels satellites and services. Moreover satellite technology will significantly reduce the number of field inspections, removing the climate of fear, and will contribute in reducing the costs of administering controls and checks. To this end, the integrated system should include also an area monitoring system.
