CAP Reform Overview Workshop presentations - Swaffham, 7 March 2014CLA - East
The new CAP scheme will introduce changes beginning in 2015, including:
- The Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) will replace the Single Payment Scheme and make up 70% of payments, with the additional 30% coming from the Greening Payment.
- The Greening Payment requires crop diversification, maintaining ecological focus areas (EFAs) like buffer strips, and controlling permanent grasslands.
- A Young Farmers Payment provides up to a 25% top-up for new farmers.
- Farmers must meet "active farmer" criteria to qualify for payments.
This document provides an overview of CAP reform in the UK, including:
- Modulation was set at 12% and will be reviewed in 2017, but there will be no certification scheme. Details are still needed on Ecological Focus Areas (EFAs), the Active Farmer scheme, and dual use.
- Greening requirements include crop diversification, maintaining permanent grassland, and designating 5% of arable land as EFAs.
- Payment regions in England may be amended and money reallocated to send more funding to upland areas.
- The active farmer scheme exempts those with direct payments less than 5% of non-agricultural income or whose principal activity is not

This would significantly impact the ability to appeal financial assurance decisions given recent increases in assessment amounts.
