Question 24657 — European Union

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Nadot draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the budget transfer between pillars of the CAP for the year 2020, a transfer that France must notify to the European Commission before December 31, 2019. Today, the farming world faces a very difficult economic situation, with unfulfilled commitments on the implementation of agricultural policy. The peasants disappear, the farms are expanding with a negative impact on employment, the creation of added value and the environment. Citizens are demanding the transition of production systems for a living agriculture in all territories, producing quality products and respectful of the climate and the environment. France must notify, before December 31, 2019, the transfer of budget between pillars that it wishes for the French application of the PAC from 2020. The Government must show its determination to support the transition of systems. However, at the end of the State-regions committee of October 30, the announcement was made of no modification of the transfer from the first to the second pillar for the year 2020 while the regions do not have the necessary funding to support the hoped-for agricultural transition. The second pillar is seriously lacking in money to finance assistance with the conversion and maintenance of organic farming while the Government has expressed the desire to reach 15% of organic areas in 2022 and 20% in collective catering. As demanded by representatives of the farming world, the significant increase in the transfer of aid from the first pillar to the second pillar for the benefit of MAEC, aid to organic farming, would make it possible to respond to environmental and agricultural territories. He asks him if he intends to notify the European Commission, before December 31, 2019, of the implementation of an additional transfer from the first to the second pillar.
