- Summary
- "The Single Payment Scheme (SPS) is a key feature of the 2003 reform of the common agricultural policy. Its objectives are to encourage farmers to better respond to market demand and to support their income. The court conducted an audit of the implementation of the SPS. The court observes that the legislation permitted persons or entities not or only marginally engaged in agriculture to benefit from SPS payments. It recommends that the legislation be amended to ensure that SPS aid is directed to active farmers. The calculation of SPS aid should better reflect the costs for environmental externalities and should be based on current farming conditions in the different regions. Finally, a more balanced distribution of SPS aid between farmers should be sought."--P. [4] of cover.
