(28) Small farms remain a cornerstone of Union agriculture as they play a vital role in supporting rural employment and contribute 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 of offering to small farmers the possibility of replacing the other direct payments by providing a round some payment for small farmer. However, with a view to further reducing the administrative burden, Member States must be authorised to automatically include certain farmers, initially, within the simplified scheme, offering them the possibility of withdrawing from it by a specific deadline. In line with the principle of proportionality, the Member States must be given the possibility of establishing for small farmers that participate in the simplified scheme a reduced system of cross-compliance checks.
