Annexes to COM(2022)242 - Amendment of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 as regards a measure to provide temporary support under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)

Please note

This page contains a limited version of this dossier in the EU Monitor.

Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 2020/2093. The annual breakdown of commitment appropriations for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development remains unchanged.

Overall, this measure does not imply the need for extra payment appropriations. The 2023 payment appropriations needed to finance this measure, will be offset by lower payment needs in subsequent years.

There is no impact on commitment appropriations. As this modification will be financed through amendments of Member States’ rural development programmes within the agreed envelopes, no extra payment appropriations will be needed overall, with any payments for this measure to be compensated by lower payments on other rural development measures.

It is assumed that the proposal has no impact on EAFRD payment appropriations for the 2022 budget. Taking into account time needed for Member States to implement this new measure, it is anticipated that the related expenditure will be declared in the third quarter of 2023, thereby impacting budget 2023. The corresponding impact on payment appropriations, estimated at around EUR 450 million, will be accommodated within the level of payment appropriations requested in the Draft Budget 2023 and will be offset by a corresponding decrease in payment needs in subsequent years, as estimated below.
