The strategy chosen to meet strengths and weaknesses

Description of the key areas where intervention is expected to bring the maximum value added:

• relevance of the objectives set for the operational programmes, of the expected results and the extent to which they can be realistically achieved;

• internal coherence of the strategy, existence of mutually reinforcing interactions and possible conflicts or contradictions between the operational objectives of different actions selected;

• complementarity and consistency of the actions selected with other national or regional actions, and with activities supported through Union funds, in particular with the rural development and promotion programmes;

• expected results and impact compared to the baseline situation and their contribution to Union objectives.

Requirements concerning all or several types of actions

Member States shall ensure that all the actions included in the national strategy and in the national framework are verifiable and controllable. Where the assessment during the implementation of the operational programmes reveals that the requirements of verifiability and controllability are not met, the actions concerned shall be adjusted accordingly or deleted. Where support is granted on the basis of standard flat rates or scales of unit costs, Member States shall ensure that the relevant calculations are adequate and accurate and established in advance on the basis of a fair, equitable and verifiable calculation. Environmental actions shall comply with the requirements set out in Article 33(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

Member States shall adopt safeguards, provisions and checks for ensuring that actions selected as eligible for support are not also supported by other relevant instruments of the common agricultural policy, in particular by rural development and promotion programmes or other national or regional schemes. Effective safeguards in place pursuant to Article 33(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, to protect the environment from possible increased pressures coming from investments supported under operational programmes, and eligibility criteria adopted pursuant to Article 36(1) of that Regulation, for ensuring that investments on individual holdings supported under operational programmes respect the objectives set out in Article 191 TFEU and in the seventh Union environment action programme.

3.2.

Specific information required for types of actions aimed at the attainment of the objectives set out or referred to in Article 33(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 (to be filled only for the types of actions selected).

SECTION 4

MONITORING OF OPERATIONAL PROGRAMMES

The indicators related to actions undertaken by recognised producer organisations, associations of producer organisations, transnational organisations and producer groups under an operational programme/recognition plan does not necessarily capture all the factors that may intervene and affect the outputs, results and impact of an operational programme/recognition plan. In this context, the information provided by the indicators should be interpreted in the light of quantitative and qualitative information relating to other key factors contributing to the success or failure of the programme/plan's implementation.

In case Member States use samples for the calculation of indicators, the size of the sample, its representativeness and its other constituting elements shall be communicated to the Commission services, together with the annual report.

Table 4.1.

Indicators as regards POs, TPOs, APOs and TAPOs

Including non-productive investments linked to the achievement of commitments undertaken under the operational programme.
Refers to a set of detailed obligations concerning the production methods (a) the respect of which is subject to independent inspection, and (b) that result in a final product the quality of which (i) goes significantly beyond the normal commercial standards as regards public health, plant health or environmental standards and (ii) responds to current and foreseeable market opportunities. It is proposed that the main types of “quality schemes” cover the following: (a) certified organic production; (b) protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, (c) certified integrated production, (d) private certified product quality schemes.
Protected designations of origin/Protected Geographical Indications/Traditional Speciality Guaranteed
Each day of a promotion/communication campaign counts as one action.
“At risk of soil erosion” shall mean any sloping plot with an inclination higher than 10 %, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover, crop rotation, etc.) have been taken. Where the relevant information is available, a Member State may instead use the following definition: “At risk of soil erosion” shall mean any plot with a predicted loss of soil exceeding the rate of natural soil formation, whether or not anti-erosion measures (e.g. soil cover or crop rotation) have been taken.
Actions relating to the setting up/refilling of different mutual funds count as different actions.
Market withdrawal of the same product in different periods of the year and market withdrawals of different products count as different actions. Each market withdrawal operation for a given product counts as one action.
Green-harvesting and non-harvesting of different products count as different actions. Green harvesting and non-harvesting of the same product count as one action, regardless of the number of days they take, the number of holdings participating and the number of plots or hectares concerned.
