Article 32 – paragraph 1
1. Farmers shall ensure that at least 7 % of their eligible hectares as defined in Article 25(2), excluding areas under permanent grassland, is ecological focus area such as land left fallow, terraces, landscape features, buffer strips and afforested areas as referred to in article 25(2)(b)(ii); a figure of 5 % may be regarded as sufficient if a farmer voluntarily takes other environmental measures, e.g. ensuring that all slurry generated is not spread until it has passed through a biogas plant, in order to reduce nuisance odours and emissions. Pursuant to Article 55, the power to adopt delegated legal acts specifying what additional measures beneficial for the environment justify the acceptance as sufficient of a smaller percentage of a farmer’s eligible hectares shall be conferred on the Commission.
