Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) On 14 March and 30 May 2018, the European Parliament stressed in its resolution on the 2021-2027Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) the importance of the horizontal principles that should underpin the MFF 2021-2027 and all related Union policies. Parliament reaffirmed, in that context, its position that the Union must deliver on its commitment to be a frontrunner in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and deplored the lack of a clear and visible commitment to that end in those proposals. Therefore, Parliament requested the mainstreaming of the SDGs into all Union policies and initiatives of the next MFF. It further underlined that the elimination of discrimination was vital to fulfil the EU’s commitments towards an inclusive Europe and therefore called for gender mainstreaming and gender equality commitments to be incorporated in all Union policies and initiatives in the next MFF. It stressed in its resolution that, in response to the Paris Agreement, cross- cutting climate-related spending should be significantly increased in comparison with the current MFF and reach 30% as soon as possible and at the latest by 2027.

(1b) In its resolution of 30 May 2018 on the Multiannual Financial Framework and own resources for2021-2027, the European Parliament deplored the fact that the Commission proposal of 2 May 2018 on the MFF for 2021-2027 led directly to a 15% reduction in the level of the common agricultural policy, and stated that it was particularly opposed to any radical cuts that would adversely impact on the very nature and objectives of that policy. It also questioned, in this context, the proposal to drastically cut the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development by more than 25 %;

(52) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with the Union's commitments to implement the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Program will contribute to mainstream climate action in the Union's policies and to the achievement of an overall target of 2530% of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives. Actions under the CAP are expected to contribute 405 % of the overall financial envelope of the CAP to climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identified during the Program's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes.

Amendment 470 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) Since the CAP needs to sharpen its responses to the challenges, such as increasing concentration of agricultural land and inter alia concentration of direct payments in the hands of few, and opportunities as they manifest themselves at Union, international, national, regional, local and farm levels, it is necessary to streamline the governance of the CAP and improve its delivery on the Union objectives and to significantly decrease the administrative burden. In the CAP based on delivery of sustainability and performance (‘delivery model’), the Union should set the basic policy parameters, such as objectives of the CAP and basic requirements, while Member States should bear greater responsibility as to how they meet the objectives and achieve targets in the broader context of a level playing field. Enhanced subsidiarity makes it possible to better take into account local conditions and needs, tailoring the support to maximise the contribution to Union objectives. This is only possible if targets are ambitious and a monitoring system is used which allows a comparison between Member States to guarantee that at the European level the CAP contributes to societal demands regarding the environment, biodiversity and animal welfare.

Amendment 482 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) The use of common definitions entirely set at Union level has caused certain difficulties for Member States to cater their own specificities at national, regional, and local level. Member States should therefore be given the flexibility to specify certain definitions in their CAP Strategic Plan. In order to ensure a common level playing field, a certainthe framework has, however, to be set at Union level constituting the necessary essential elements to be included in those definitions (‘framework definitions’) to prevent distortion of the Single Market.

(4) In order to ensure that the Union can respect its international obligations on domestic support as set out in the WTO Agreement on Agriculture, and in particular that the basic income support for sustainability and related types of interventions continue to be notified as ‘Green Box’ support which has no, or at most minimal, trade- distorting effects or effects on production, the framework definition for ‘agricultural activity’ should provide for both the production of agricultural products or the maintenance of the agricultural area. In light of adjusting to local conditions, Member States should lay down the actual definition of agricultural activity in their CAP Strategic Plans.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) A smarter, modernised and moremore resistant and sustainable CAP needs to embrace research and innovation, in order to serve the multi- functionality of Union agriculture, forestry and food systems, investing in technological development and, digitalisation and agro-ecological practices, as well as improving the access to impartial, sound, relevant and new knowledge as well as possibilities to exchange from farmer to farmer for the benefit of rural communities as well as the agricultural sector.

Amendment 587 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) In the context of greater market- orientation of the CAP on the European market, as outlined by the Communication on ‘The Future of Food and Farming’, market exposure, climate change and associated frequency and severity of extreme weather events, as well as sanitary and phytosanitary crises, may lead to risks of price volatility and increasing pressures on incomes. Thus, although farmers are ultimately responsible for designing their on-farm strategies, a robust framework to regulate the markets should be set up to ensure appropriate risk management of health and climate risks, which avoids the pitfalls and problems encountered in other models adopted around the world. To this aim, Member States and farmers may be able to draw on a Union-level platform on risk management for capacity-building in order to provide farmers with adequate financial instruments for investments and access to working capital, training, knowledge transfer and advice.

Amendment 598 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16 – point 1
As many rural areas in the Union suffer from structural problems such as lack of attractive employment opportunities, skill shortages, underinvestment in connectivity, infrastructures and essential services, as well as youth drain, it is fundamental to strengthen the socio-economic fabric in those areas, in line with the Cork 2.0. Declaration, particularly through job creation and generational renewal, by bringing the Commission's jobs and growth to rural areas, promoting social inclusion, the incorporation of new farmers, greater participation by women in the rural economy, generational renewal and the development of ‘Smart Villages’ across the European countryside. In order to stabilise and diversify the rural economy, it also requires business start-ups and development, securing and retaining of non-agricultural enterprises as well as the basic provisions for the rural population. As indicated in the Communication on ‘The Future of Food and Farming’, new rural value chains such as renewable energy, the emerging bio- economy, the circular economy, and ecotourism can offer good growth and job potential for rural areas. In this context, financial instruments and the use of the InvestEU guarantee can play a crucial role for ensuring access to financing and for bolstering the growth capacity of farms and enterprises. There is a potential for employment opportunities in rural areas for legally staying third country nationals, promoting their social and economic integration especially in the framework of Community-led Local Development strategies.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The CAP should keep ensuring food security for Europe, which should be understood as meaning access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food at all times and maximising EU plant protein production. Moreover, it should help improving the response of Union agriculture to new societal demands on food and health, including sustainable agricultural production, healthier nutrition, reduced food waste and enhanced animal welfare. The CAP should continue to promote production with specific and valuable characteristics, whilesuch as regionally identifiable food chains, and at the same time helping farmers to proactively adjust their production according to market signals and consumers’ demands. Member States should ensure that financial support for farmers in procuring new skills and equipment required to transition their production in order to meet changing consumer demands and protect livelihoods in rural communities is being allocated.

Recital 24
(24) Member States should set up and put in place procedures for avoidance of conflicts of interest for farm advisory services for the purpose ofwhose objective is improving the sustainable management and overall performance of agricultural holdings and rural businesses, covering economic, environmental and social dimensions and the specific objectives of this regulation referred to in Article 6, and to identify the necessary improvements as regards all measures at farm level provided for in the CAP Strategic Plans. These farm advisory services should help farmers and other beneficiaries of CAP support to become more aware of the relationship between farm management and land management on the one hand, and certain standards, requirements and information, including environmental and climate ones as well as animal welfare, on the other hand. The list of the latter includes standards applying to or necessary for farmers and other CAP beneficiaries and set in the CAP Strategic Plan, as well as those stemming from the legislation on water, on and the sustainablreduction of the use of pesticides, as well as agro- ecological measures, the promotion of the sustainable management of nutrients, the initiatives to combat antimicrobial resistance and the management of risks. In order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the advice, Member States should set out procedures for avoidance of conflicts of interest, and integrate advisors within the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS), in order to be able to deliver up-to-date technological and scientific information developed by research and innovation.

Recital 25
(25) In order to ensure a fairer distribution of income support, the amounts of direct payments above a certain ceiling should be reduced and the product should either be used for decoupled direct payments and in prioritirstly for the ecomplementary redistributive income support for sustainability, or be transferred to the EAFRD. In order to avoid negative effects on employment, labour should be taken into account when applying the mechanism- schemes, and secondly be transferred to the EAFRD. Payments for the eco-schemes shall not be touched by the ceiling.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25 a (new)
(25 a) The European Court of Auditors notes in its opinion No 7/2018 that the largest part of the budget would continue to be hectare based direct payments to farmers. However, this instrument is not appropriate for addressing the many environmental and societal concerns, nor is it the most efficient way of assuring a viable income for farmers. They also critisise the lack of necessary elements of an effective performance system as well as fewer and less effective checks and audits.

Committee: AGRI
Amendment 700 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(26) Union legislation should provide that Member States should set requirements in terms of minimum area for receiving decoupled payments in their CAP Strategic Plan. Such requirements should relate to the need to avoid the excessive administrative burden caused by managing numerous payments of small amounts and to that of ensuring an effective contribution of the support to the objectives of the CAP to which the decoupled direct payments contribute. In order to guarantee a minimum level of agricultural income support for all genuine farmers, as well as to comply with the Treaty objective in ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, an annual area- based decoupled payment should be established as the type of intervention ‘basic income support for sustainability’. In order to enhance better targeting of this support, the payment amounts can be differentiated, by groups of territories, based on socio- economic and/or agronomic conditions. In view of avoiding disruptive effects for farmers' income, Member States may choose to implement the basic income support for sustainability based on payment entitlements. In this case, the value of payment entitlements before any further convergence should be proportional to their value as established under the basic payment schemes pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, taking also into account the payments for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment. Member States should also achieve a furtherll convergence by 2027 in order to continue to move progressivelymove away from historical values.

Recital 28
(28) Small farms remain a cornerstone of Union agriculture as they play a vital role in supporting rural employment and contribute to social cohesion in rural areas and to territorial development. In order to promote a more balanced distribution of support and to reduce administrative burden for beneficiaries of small amounts, Member States should have the option ofall offering to small farmers the possibility of replacing the other direct payments by providing a round somelump sum payment for small farmers.

Amendment 730 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29
(29) In view of the acknowledged need to promote a more balanced distribution of support towards small and/or medium- sized farmers in a visible and measurable way, a specific decoupled payment per hectare, the complementary redistributive income support for sustainability, should be established at Union level. To allow for a better targeting of this complementary support and in view of acknowledging the differences in farm structures across the Union, Member States should have the possibility to provide different amounts of complementary support to different ranges of hectares.

Recital 31
(31) The CAP should ensure that Member States increase the environmental delivery by respecting local needs and farmers' actual circumstances. Member States should under direct payments in the CAP Strategic Plan set up Eco-schemes voluntary for farmers, which should be fully coordinated with the other relevant interventions. They should be defined by the Member States as a payment granted either for incentivising and remunerating the provision of public goods by agricultural practices beneficial to the environment and climate or as a compensation forand the introduction of these practices. In both cases tThey should aim at enhancing the environmental and climate performance of the CAPagricultural holdings and should consequently be conceived to go beyond the mandatory requirements already prescribed by the system of conditionality. Member States may decide to set up eco- schemes for agricultural practicesto promote all forms of sustainable production model (organic farming, conservation agriculture, agroforestry, integrated farming, etc.), environmental certification such as the enhancedemes, extensive livestock farming, agricultural practices to improve the management of permanent pastures and landscape features, and organic farming. These schemes may also includincluding agriculture and viticulture on steep slopes or terraces. These schemes may also include measures of a type other than rural development agri-environment and climate commitments, as well as measures of the same type as the ‘entry- level schemes’ which may be a condition for taking up more ambitious rural development commitments.

(31 a) Organic farming is developing in many Member States and has a proven track record for delivering public goods, for example safeguarding ecosystem services and natural resources, creating new jobs, especially for young farmers and women and meeting societal demands. But the growth in demand is bigger than the one in production. Member States shall ensure that their CAP Strategic Plan incentivises an increase in the share of organically farmed agricultural land in order to satisfy the growing demand for organic products and to further improve the whole organic supply chain.

(32) Member States should be allowed to use part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments for coupled income support in order to improve competitiveness, sustainability, and/or quality in certain sectors and productions that are particularly important for social, economic or environmental reasons andor undergo certain difficulties. Furthermore, Member States should also be allowed to use an additional part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments to grant coupled income support specifically for the support of protein crop production in order to reduce the Union's deficit in this regard and to develop a real strategic plan in accordance with the European parliament report 2017/2116 (INI) and the European Commission report (November 2018).

Amendment 784 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35 a (new)
(35a) As the vast majority of undertakings in the winegrowing sector are small and medium-sized enterprises, a derogation from the maximum duration of the promotion action in third countries is appropriate for actions where the beneficiaries are PDO and PGI management bodies, since the beneficiaries of the measure are all winegrowing holdings, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises which do not have the resources to carry out promotion programmes in third country markets on an individual and sustainable basis for a specific period of time. Therefore, the fact that it is not possible to conduct ongoing campaigns with the same activities or target groups after three or five years puts small and medium-sized enterprises at a disadvantage compared to large enterprises.

(38) Support for management commitments may include organic farming premia for the maintenance of and the conversion to organic land; payments for other types of interventions supporting environmentally friendly production systems such as agro-ecology, conservation agriculture and, integrated production, digital agriculture and precision agriculture; forest environmental and climate services and forest conservation; premia for forests and establishment of agroforestry systems, the maintenance of perennial agricultural tree crops and vineyards exploiting agricultural land on terraces and steep slopes; animal welfare; conservation, sustainable use and development of genetic resources. Member States may develop other schemes under this type of interventions on the basis of their needs. This type of payments should cover additional costs and income foregone only resulting from commitments going beyond the baseline of mandatory standards and requirements established in Union and national law, as well as conditionality, as laid down in the CAP Strategic Plan. Commitments related to this type of interventions may be undertaken for a pre- established annual or pluri-annual period and might go beyond seven years where duly justified.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40
(40) In order to ensure a fair income and a resilient agricultural sector across the Union territory, Member States may grant support to farmers in areas facing natural and other area-specific constraints. As regards payments for ANC, the designation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development policy should continue to apply. For the CAP to deliver enhanced Union added value on the environment and reinforce its synergies with the financing of investments in nature and biodiversity, it is necessary to keep a separate measure aiming at compensating beneficiaries for disadvantages related to the implementation of Natura 2000 and Water Framework Directives. Support should therefore continue to be granted to farmers and forest holders to help address specific disadvantages resulting from the implementation of Directive 2009/147/EC and Directive 92/43/EEC and in order to contribute to the effective management of Natura 2000 sites. Support should also be made available to farmers to help address disadvantages in river basin areas resulting from the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Support should be linked to specific requirements described in the CAP Strategic Plans that go beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements. Member States should also ensure that payments to farmers do not lead to double funding with eco schemes, while at the same time allowing enough flexibility in Strategic Plans to promote complementarity between different interventions. Furthermore, the specific needs of Natura 2000 areas should be taken into accounmet by Member States in the overall design of their CAP Strategic Plans.

Recital 42
(42) In the light of the need to fill the investment gap in the Union agricultural sector and improve access to financial instruments for priority groups, notably young farmers, women and new entrants with higher risk profiles, use of the InvestEU guarantee and combination of grants and financial instruments should be encouraged. Since the use of financial instruments across Member States varies considerably as a result of differences in terms of access to finance, banking sector development, presence of risk capital, familiarity of public administrations and potential range of beneficiaries, Member States should establish in the CAP Strategic Plan appropriate targets, beneficiaries and preferential conditions, and other possible eligibility rules.

Recital 43
(43) Young farmers and new entrants still face significant barriers regarding access to land, high prices and access to credit. Their businesses are more threatened by price volatility (for both inputs and produce) and their needs in terms of training in entrepreneurial and, risk prevention and management skills are high. It is therefore essential to continue the support for the setting up of new businesses and new farms. Member States should provide for a strategic approach and identify a clear and coherent set of interventions for generational renewal under the specific objective dedicated to this issue. To this aim, Member States may set in their CAP Strategic Plans preferential conditions for financial instruments for young farmers and new entrants, and should include in their CAP Strategic Plan the ring-fencing of at least an amount corresponding to 2% of the annual direct payments' envelope. An increase of the maximum amount of aid for the installation of young farmers and rural business start-ups, up to EUR 100.000, which can be accessed also through or in combination with financial instrument form of support, should be established.

(45) Support should enable the establishment and implementation of cooperation between at least two entities in view of achieving CAP objectives. Support can entail all aspects of such cooperation, such as the setting up of quality schemes; collective environmental and climate action; the promotion of short supply chain and local markets; pilot projects; Operational Group projects within the EIP for agricultural productivity and sustainability local development projects, Smart Villages, buyers' clubs and machinery rings; farm partnerships; forest management plans; networks and clusters; social farming; community supported agriculture; actions within the scope of LEADER; and the setting up of producer groups and producer organisations, as well as other forms of rural community cooperation cooperation deemed necessary to achieve the specific objectives of the CAP, particularly rural development.

Recital 46
(46) The Communication on ‘The Future of Food and Farming’ mentions the exchange of knowledge and focus on innovation as a cross cutting objective for the new CAP. The CAP should continue to support the interactive innovation model, which enhances the collaboration between actors to make best use of complementary types of knowledge with a view to spreading practical solutions. Farm advisory services should be free of conflicts of interests and strengthened within the AKIS. The CAP Strategic Plan should provide information on how advisory services, research and rural networks will work together. Each Member State or region, as appropriate, can fund a number of actions aimed at knowledge exchange and innovation, using the types of interventions developed in this Regulation.

Recital 48
(48) The EAGF should not provide support to activities that would harm the environment, or which are not consistent with climate and environment objectives in line with sustainable agricultural management principles. Support for direct payments under the CAP Strategic Plans should be granted within national allocations to be fixed by this Regulation. These national allocations should reflect a continuation of the changes whereby the allocations to Member States with the lowest support level per hectare are gradually increased to close 50% of the gap towards 90% of the Union average. In order to take into account the reduction of payments' mechanism and the use of its product in the Member State, the total indicative financial allocations per year in the CAP Strategic Plan of a Member State should be allowed to exceed the national allocation.

Actions under the CAP are expected to contribute 40 % of the overall financial envelope of the CAP to climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identspecified during the Program's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes.

(55) In order to ensure a clear strategic nature of these CAP Strategic Plans, and to facilitate the links with other Union policies, and notably with established long- term national targets deriving from Union legislation or international agreements such as those related to climate change, forests, biodiversity, and water, it is appropriate that there should be one single CAP Strategic Plan per Member State. Taking account the administrative structure of Member Stats, the Strategic Plan shall, where appropriate, include regionalised rural development interventions.

(60) Considering that flexibility should be accorded to Member States as regards the choice of delegating part of the implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan at regional level on the basis of avia Regional Intervention Programs in coherence with the national framework, in order to facilitate co- ordination among the regions in addressing nation-wide challenges, it is appropriate that the CAP Strategic Plans provide a description of the interplay between national and regional interventions.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 76
(76) Mechanisms should be in place to take action to protect the Union’s financial interests in case the CAP Strategic Plan implementation deviates significantly from the targets set. Member States may thus be asked to submit action plans in case of significant and non-justified underperformance. This could lead to suspensions and, in the end, reductions of the Union funds if the planned results are not achieved. Moreover, an overall performance bonus is established as part of the incentive mechanism based on allocating the performance bonus, in view of encouraging good environmental and climate performances.

Title 3 – chapter 3 – section 7 a (new)
Section 7 a Aid for the supply of fruit and vegetables as well as milk and milk products in educational establishments Article 63 a Target group The aid scheme intended to improve the distribution of agricultural products and improving children’s eating habits is aimed at children who regularly attend nurseries, pre-schools or primary or secondary-level educational establishments which are administered or recognised by the competent authorities of Member States. Article 63 b Aid for the supply of school fruit and vegetables and of school milk, accompanying educational measures and related costs 1. Union aid shall be granted in respect of children in the educational establishments referred to in Article 22: (a) for the supply and distribution of eligible products referred to in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of this Article; (b) for accompanying educational measures; and (c) to cover certain related costs linked to equipment, publicity, monitoring and evaluation, and, insofar as those costs are not covered by point (a) of this subparagraph, logistics and distribution. The Council shall, in accordance with Article 43(3) TFEU, lay down limits for the proportion of Union aid covering measures and costs referred to in points (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph. 2. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: (a) “school fruit and vegetables” means the products referred to in point (a) of paragraph 3 and point (a) of paragraph 4; (b) “school milk” means the products referred to in point (b) of paragraph 3 and point (b) of paragraph 4, as well as the products referred to in Annex V. 3. Member States wishing to participate in the aid scheme established pursuant to paragraph 1 (“the school scheme”) and requesting the corresponding Union aid shall, taking into account national circumstances, prioritise the distribution of products of either or both of the following groups: (a) fruit and vegetables and fresh products of the banana sector; (b) drinking milk and lactose-free versions thereof. 4. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, in order to promote the consumption of specific products and/or to respond to particular nutritional needs of children in their territory, Member States may provide for the distribution of products of either or both of the following groups: (a) processed fruit and vegetable products, in addition to the products referred to in point (a) of paragraph 3; (b) cheese, curd, yoghurt and other fermented or acidified milk products without added flavouring, fruit, nuts or cocoa, in addition to the products referred to in point (b) of paragraph 3. 5. In cases where Member States consider it necessary for the attainment of the objectives of the school scheme and the goals stated in the strategies referred to in paragraph 8, they may supplement the distribution of products referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 with products listed in Annex V. In such cases, the Union aid shall be paid only for the milk component of the distributed product. That milk component shall not be lower than 90 % by weight for products of Category I of Annex V and 75 % by weight for products of Category II of Annex V. The level of Union aid for the milk component shall be fixed by the Council in accordance with Article 43(3) TFEU. 6. Products distributed under the school scheme shall not contain any of the following: (a) added sugars; (b) added salt; (c) added fat; (d) added sweeteners; (e) added artificial flavour enhancers (E 620 to E 650) as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Notwithstanding the first subparagraph of this paragraph, any Member State may, after obtaining the appropriate authorisation from its national authorities responsible for health and nutrition in accordance with its national procedures, decide that eligible products referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 may contain limited quantities of added sugar, added salt and/or added fat. 7. In addition to products referred to in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of this Article, Member States may provide for the inclusion of other agricultural products under the accompanying educational measures, in particular those listed in points (g) and (v) of Article 1(2). 8. As a condition for its participation in the school scheme, a Member State shall draw up, prior to its participation in the school scheme, and subsequently every six years, at national or regional level, a strategy for the implementation of the scheme. The strategy may be amended by the national or regional authority responsible for developing it, particularly in light of monitoring and evaluation, as well as the results achieved. The strategy shall contain at least the definition of the needs to be addressed, a classification of the needs in order of priority, specification of the target group, the desired results and, if they are available, the quantified objectives to be achieved in relation to the initial situation. It shall also identify the most appropriate tools and actions for achieving these objectives. The strategy may contain specific elements relating to the implementation of the school scheme, including those intended to simplify its management. 9. Member States shall determine in their strategies the list of all the products to be supplied under the school scheme either through regular distribution or under accompanying educational measures. Without prejudice to paragraph 6, they shall also ensure the appropriate involvement of their national authorities responsible for health and nutrition in drawing up that list, or the appropriate authorisation by those authorities of that list, in accordance with national procedures. 10. Member States shall, in order to make the school scheme effective, also provide for accompanying educational measures, which may include, inter alia, measures and activities aimed at reconnecting children with agriculture through activities, such as farm visits, and the distribution of a wider variety of agricultural products as referred to in paragraph 7. Those measures may also be designed to educate children about related issues, such as healthy eating habits, local food chains, organic farming, sustainable production or combating food waste. 11. Member States shall choose the products to be featured in distribution or to be included in accompanying educational measures on the basis of objective criteria which shall include one or more of the following: considerations relating to health and the environment, seasonality, variety and availability of local or regional products, prioritising products originating from the Union as much as possible. Member States may particularly promote local or regional purchases, organic products, short supply chains or benefits for the environment and, where appropriate, products recognised under the quality systems established by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. Member States may consider, in their strategies, prioritising sustainability and fair-trade considerations. Article 63 c Financing provisions 1. Without prejudice to paragraph 4 of this Article, the aid under the school scheme allocated for the distribution of products, the accompanying educational measures and the related costs referred to in Article 23(1) shall not exceed EUR 250 million per school year. The aid shall not exceed this overall limit: a) for school fruit and vegetables: EUR 150 million per school year; b) for school milk: EUR 100 million per school year. 2. The aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be allocated to each Member State taking into account the following: (a) the number of six- to ten-year-old children in the Member State concerned; (b) the degree of development of the regions within the Member State concerned so as to ensure that higher aid is allocated to less developed regions and to the smaller Aegean Islands within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 229/2013; and (c) for school milk, in addition to the criteria referred to in points (a) and (b), the historical use of the Union aid for the supply of milk and milk products to children. The allocations for the Member States concerned shall ensure that higher aid is allocated to the outermost regions listed in Article 349 TFEU in order to take into account the specific situation of those regions in the sourcing of products and to promote such sourcing between outermost regions that are in geographical proximity to each other. The allocations for school milk resulting from the application of the criteria laid down in this paragraph shall ensure that all Member States are entitled to receive at least a minimum amount of Union aid per child in the age group referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph. That amount shall not be lower than the average use of Union aid per child across all Member States under the school milk scheme which applied prior to 1 August 2017. The Council shall, in accordance with Article 43(3) TFEU, adopt measures relating to fixing indicative and definitive allocations and reassigning Union aid for school fruit and vegetables and school milk. 3. Member States wishing to participate in the school scheme shall submit every year their request for Union aid, specifying the amount requested for the school fruit and vegetables and the amount requested for the school milk that they wish to distribute. 4. Without exceeding the overall limit of EUR 250 million laid down in paragraph 1, any Member State may transfer once per school year up to 20 % of either one or the other of its indicative allocations. That percentage may be increased up to 25 % for the Member States with outermost regions listed in Article 349 TFEU and in other duly justified cases, such as where a Member State needs to address a specific market situation in the sector covered by the school scheme, its particular concerns regarding low consumption of either one of the groups of products, or other societal changes. Transfers may be made either: (a) prior to the fixing of definitive allocations for the following school year, between the Member State’s indicative allocations; (b) or after the start of school year, between the Member State’s definitive allocations, where such allocations have been set for the Member State in question. The transfers referred to in point (a) of the third subparagraph may not be made from the indicative allocation for the group of products for which the Member State concerned requests an amount exceeding its indicative allocation. Member States shall notify to the Commission the amount of any transfers between indicative allocations. 5. The school scheme shall be without prejudice to any separate national school schemes which are compatible with Union law. Union aid provided for in Article 23 may be used to extend the scope or effectiveness of any existing national school schemes or school distribution schemes providing school fruit and vegetables and school milk but shall not replace funding for those existing national schemes, except for free distribution of meals to children in educational establishments. If a Member State decides to extend the scope of an existing national school scheme or to make it more effective by requesting Union aid, it shall indicate in the strategy referred to in Article 23(8) how this will be achieved. 6. Member States may, in addition to Union aid, grant national aid for the financing of the school scheme. Member States may finance that aid by means of a levy on the sector concerned or by means of any other contribution from the private sector. 7. The Union may also finance, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, information, publicity, monitoring and evaluation measures relating to the school scheme, including measures to raise public awareness of the scheme’s objectives, and related networking measures aimed at exchanging experience and best practices in order to facilitate the implementation and management of the scheme. The Commission may develop, in accordance with Article 24(4) of this Regulation, a common identifier or graphic elements to enhance the visibility of the school scheme. 8. Member States participating in the school scheme shall publicise, at school premises or other relevant places, their involvement in the scheme and the fact that it is subsidised by the Union. Member States may use any suitable publicity tools, which may include posters, dedicated websites, informative graphic material, and information and awareness- raising campaigns. Member States shall ensure the added value and the visibility of the Union school scheme in relation to the provision of other meals in educational establishments. Article 63 d Delegated powers 1. In order to promote the healthy eating habits of children and to ensure that the aid under the school scheme is aimed at children in the target group referred to in Article 22, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 concerning rules on: (a) the additional criteria related to the eligibility of the target group referred to in Article 22; (b) the approval and selection of aid applicants by Member States; (c) the drawing up of the national or regional strategies and on the accompanying educational measures. 2. In order to ensure the efficient and targeted use of Union funds and to facilitate the implementation of the school scheme, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 concerning: (a) the identification of costs and measures that are eligible for Union aid; (b) the obligation for Member States to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of their school scheme. 3. In order to take account of scientific developments, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 in order to supplement the list of artificial flavour enhancers referred to in point (e) of the first subparagraph of Article 23(6). In order to ensure that products distributed in accordance with Article 23(3), (4) and (5) meet the objectives of the school scheme, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 in order to define the maximum levels for added sugar, added salt and added fat which may be allowed by Member States under the second subparagraph of Article 23(6) and which are technically necessary to prepare or manufacture processed products. 4. In order to promote awareness of the school scheme and to increase the visibility of Union aid, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 requiring the Member States participating in the school scheme to clearly publicise the fact that they are receiving Union support to implement the scheme, including in relation to: (a) if appropriate, the establishment of specific criteria regarding the presentation, composition, size and design of the common identifier or graphic elements; (b) the specific criteria related to the use of publicity tools. 5. In order to ensure the added value and the visibility of the school scheme, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 in respect of the rules concerning the distribution of products in relation to the provision of other meals in educational establishments. 6. Taking into account the need to ensure that the Union aid is reflected in the price at which the products are available under the school scheme, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 227 requiring Member States to explain in their strategies how this will be achieved. Article 63 e Implementing powers in accordance with the examination procedure The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, adopt the measures necessary for the application of this Section, including those concerning: (a) the information to be contained in Member States’ strategies; (b) the aid applications and payments, including the simplification of procedures resulting from the common framework for the school scheme; (c) the methods of publicising, and networking measures in respect of, the school scheme; (d) the submission, format and content of annual requests for aid, monitoring and evaluation reports by Member States participating in the school scheme; (e) the application of Article 23a(4), including on the deadlines for the transfers and on the submission, format and content of transfer notifications. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 229(2).
