The European Court of Auditors (ECA), which reports on all aspects of EU policy and expenditure, has released its latest comments on delivery of the CAP.
It is concerned that the delay in moving into the next CAP until January 2022 “will put back the potentially more ambitious EU agriculture policy by at least a year”, meaning a delay in implementation of the green deal.

Member states should continue pursuing at least the same or higher environmental and climate ambitions as until now, with any new money used under old rules.
There should be focus on payments to non-genuine farmers acquiring agricultural land to receive CAP payments, and call on the Commission and policycmakers to use the extra year to find a way of addressing this in the next CAP. Definition of a genuine farmer was one of the pillars highlighted in the CAP post-2020 proposals published by then-Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan in 2018.
Delay of the assessment of the current CAP (2014-2020) until 2026, which would be too late to influence the preparation of the Commissions CAP proposals for the post-2027 CAP.
Joao Figueiredo is the ECA member responsible for this opinion and he previously issued a critical performance of the CAP delivery during Phil Hogan’s term.
This was robustly rejected by the then commissioner in an appearance before the Parliament's agriculture committee.
