Recital 1
(1) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions entitled 'The Future of Food and Farming' of 29 November 2017 concludes that the Common Agricultural Policy (hereinafter ‘CAP’) should continue to step up its response to future challenges and opportunities, by boosting employment, growth and investment, fighting and adapting to climate change and bringing research and innovation out of the laboratories and onto fields and markets. The Communication also stresses the global dimension of the CAP and states the Union’s commitment to enhance Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD). The CAP should furthermore address citizens' concerns regarding sustainable agriculture production.

Recital 8
(8) In order to achieve the objectives of the CAP laid down in Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (the ‘Treaty’), and to comply with the principle of shared management, as provided for in Article 59 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, Member States should ensure that the necessary governance systems are in place. Provision should therefore be made for designating the competent authority, paying agency, coordinating body and certification body. The need to coordinate the CAP with other Union policies as it is especially provided for in Art. 208 of the Treaty with regard to the Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) should be taken into account.

Recital 49
(49) The Communication from the Commission on 'The future of food and farming' set out the bolstering of environmental care and climate action and the contributing to the achievement of Union environmental and climate objectives as a strategic orientation of the future CAP. The Communication also stresses the global dimension of the CAP and states the Union’s commitment to enhance Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD). Hence, sharing Land Parcel Identification System and other Integrated Administration and Control System data has become necessary for environmental and climate purposes as well as for the purpose of coherence with other Union’s internal and external policies at national and Union level. Provision should therefore be made for sharing the data collected through the integrated system, which is relevant for environmental and climatthese purposes, between Member States' public authorities and with the Union institutions and bodies. In order to increase efficiency in using data available to different public authorities for the production of European statistics, it should also be provided that data from the integrated system has to be made available for statistical purposes to bodies which are part of the European Statistical System.
