Areas of activity:

• Direct payments
• Agriculture and rural development
• Common market organization
• Promotion of agricultural products
• EU quality policy
• Organic farming
• Food safety, animal & plant health and zootechnics

Direct payments

The direct payments system is one of the two main pillars of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Introduced for the first time in 1992 to recompense for the loss of income due to the abolition of the guaranteed market price system, they have been evolving in correlation with the challenges faced by the EU’s agriculture. Throughout the years direct payments have become decoupled with the production; the requirements imposed on the beneficiaries - farmers have been gradually linked with the obligations related to environmental protection, animal welfare and food safety. In recent years, the successive reforms have made the direct payments more sustainable i.e. acknowledging economic, environmental and social aspects. Hence, within direct payments system, there is a compulsory system of the reduction of payments for the biggest farms (capping) linked with the redistributive payment for small and medium holdings, obligatory requirement of crop rotation, obligatory dedication of the part of farms land to Ecological Focus Area meant to increase the biodiversity, as well as the additional payments to young framers. The latest proposal for the CAP reform for the period 2021-2027 continues earlier policy lines and introduces, among others, new pro-ecological elements such as ecoschemes which are payments for farmers choosing to apply additional practices beneficial for environment and climate.

Agriculture and rural development

Apart from direct payments, under the Common Agricultural Policy farmers may receive support for improvement of living conditions and competitiveness on rural areas.

The support is available within four areas: (1) support for commitments under voluntary agri-environment-climate measures; (2) support of farms development through investments, additional economic activity, services; (3) support for rural development via rural infrastructure, to make rural areas more attractive and viable and provide villages with good prospects; (4) Support for implementation of LEADER strategy via financing local development strategies by Local Action Groups as broad civic involvement.

Common market organisation

Provides framework for functioning of the EU agriculture on the single market. It includes market instruments which for example help to stabilize agricultural markets and prevent market crises, aim at assist Union agricultural sectors to better adapt to changes, improve functioning of supply chain and regulate some aspects of international trade and improve demand. Public intervention, aid for private storage and exceptional measures launched when a specific aid is needed are the market intervention instruments. Common market organisation consists also of specific support schemes for certain sectors, for example support programs for apiculture, wine, fruit and vegetables as well as marketing standards for certain sectors. An important element is also monitoring of market situation developments, which serves to improve market transparency and supplements market measures.

Promotion of agricultural products

EU promotion policy aims to inform about qualities of food produced in the EU and to open new markets. Union resources are designated to co-finance promotion campaigns in third countries and on internal markets.

EU quality policy

EU quality policy aims at protecting the names of products manufactured in the EU which have unique features. They are linked to the products’ geographical origin or traditional way of production. Policy includes quality indicators such as protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication and traditional speciality guaranteed. National or private certification schemes are also part of quality policy. They confirm status of products meeting higher standards.

Organic farming

Organic farming aims to produce food using natural substances and processes to limit negative environmental impact. It combines the maintenance of biodiversity, responsible use of natural resources and energy as well as high standard of animal welfare. Organic farming is more and more popular alternative to conventional agriculture. The demand for organic products is growing.

Food safety, animal & plant health and zootechnics

Every European citizen has the right to know how the food she / he eats is produced, processed, packaged, labelled and sold.

The central goal of the EU Food Safety policy is to ensure a high level of protection of human health regarding the food industry. Its primary principle is to apply an integrated approach from farm to fork covering all sectors of the food chain.

The objective of the EU Animal Health policy is to raise the health status and improve the conditions of the animals in the EU, in particular food-producing animals, whilst permitting intra-Union trade and imports of animals and animal products in accordance with the appropriate health standards and international obligations.

The general aim of the EU Animal Welfare policy is to ensure that animals do not need to endure avoidable pain or suffering and obliges the owner/keeper of animals to respect minimum welfare requirements.

The EU zootechnical legislation aims at the promotion of free trade in breeding animals and their genetic material considering the sustainability of breeding programs and preservation of genetic resources.

The EU takes actively part in the setting of international phytosanitary and quality standards for plants and plant products.

EU legislation has, over the years, provided for the harmonised protection of Union’s 'green resources' by regulating the issues like pesticides use, plant variety rights or Genetically Modified Organisms.

Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) forms an integral part of Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU (CFSP). It includes the progressive framing of a common Union defence policy and provides the Union with an operational capacity drawing on civilian and military assets. The Union may use that capacity to execute missions outside the Union for peace-keeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security. The CSDP is put into effect by external military operations and missions as well as civilian missions, the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) for those Member States which are ready to make additional security- and defence-related commitments, coordination of development of defence capacities of Member States, stimulating cooperation of their defence industries, and developing their civilian crisis response capacities for use outside of the Union. CSDP does not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of Member States and respects their obligations related to their membership in NATO.

The goals of CSDP are also pursued through other actions, including those within CFSP, such as: countering hybrid threats, cyber threats and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, export control of weapons and military equipment and external actions to counter terrorism.
