Question for written answer E-002797/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maria Grapini (S&D)
The risk management tools under the CAP should offer an effective response to crises in order to protect European farmers, without discriminating or differentiating among them.
Does the Commission not consider that the provisions of Recital 21 and Article 41a(5) of the proposal for a regulation (COM (2025) 236 final) allowing Member States the possibility of national co-financing of up to 200 % (in the form of state aid) in the event of climate disasters could lead to disparities between regions? This could happen owing to the differing potentials of the Member States, which are at different stages of development, and the provision risks undermining the level playing field in the single market.
Rather than making provision for national co-financing, the financing of the crisis reserve at EU-level could be bolstered, and this used equitably for farmers wherever they are farming.
