Question 17091 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Lionel Vuibert draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the situation of several Ardennes breeders involved in the agro-environmental and climatic measure known as “pastoral grassland systems”. These operators were subject to an inspection by the Services and Payment Agency for the 2024 campaign. Following these inspections, certain operations were declared non-compliant, on the grounds that the plots concerned did not present the four indicator plants required by the specifications of the measure. However, it appears that this difficulty is largely due to the overly restrictive nature of the initial list of indicator plants, poorly adapted to the realities of extensively exploited meadows, whether intended for mowing or grazing. This analysis seems moreover having been recognized locally, since with the support of the DRAAF and the Chamber of Agriculture, an expanded list of indicator plants was validated by regional prefectural decree of December 19, 2025, in order to serve as a reference for the controls carried out from the 2025 campaign. In this context, the MP indicates that the breeders concerned do not understand that the controls carried out in 2024 could give rise to financial sanctions, even though the framework used has since been adapted to better correspond to local agricultural practices. These operators have committed to a demanding environmental approach, respecting the spirit of the measure, and the loss of subsidy would represent a significant financial difficulty for some of them. He therefore asks him if the Government intends to provide for an exceptional adjustment to the regime of sanctions applicable to the 2024 controls of the MAEC “pastoral grassland systems”, so that the breeders concerned are not penalized due to initial specifications insufficiently adapted to the realities of extensive grasslands.
