Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2

(2) The Commission proposed to link the CAP to the delivery of performance (‘delivery model’). Under the new legal framework, the Union is to set the ~~basic~~ policy parameters, such as objectives of the CAP and basic requirements~~, while Member States are to bear~~. A strong Union framework is essential to ensure that the CAP remains a common policy and to guarantee a level playing field. Member States will also have a greater responsibility ~~as t~~on how they meet the objectives and achieve targets. Accordingly, Member States are to draw up CAP Strategic Plans, based on an ex- ante analysis and an assessment of needs, which are to be approved by the Commission and implemented by Member States.

Proposal for a regulation
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.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17

(17) As regards the aid scheme in the olive oil and table olives sector, the existing work programmes drawn up for the period running from 1 April 2018 until 31 March 2021 should be extended until 31 December 2021. For aid schemes in the fruit and vegetables sector, rules should be laid down regarding the modification or replacement of operational programmes. The recognised producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector should also have the possibility to maintain the operational programme until it comes to an end.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18

(18) With the view to ensuring continuity as regards the aid schemes in the fruit and vegetable sector, the wine sector and the apiculture sector, rules need to be laid down that allow those aid schemes to continue to be implemented until the end of their respective programming periods. For this period certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 should therefore continue to apply in relation to expenditure incurred and payments made for operations implemented pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 after 31 December 2021 and until the end of those aid schemes and of the operational programmes.

Specific measures in the agricultural sector, as provided for in that Article, to remedy the difficulties caused by the specific situation, which those regions face, have been established in Regulation (EU) No 228/2013.
