Summary: The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union lays down the fundamental rule governing Union financing that the annual budget of the Union must comply with the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). With a view to ensuring that the amounts for the financing of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) comply with the annual sub-ceilings under heading 2 for market related expenditure and direct payments, a financial discipline mechanism has been provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers. According to this mechanism, an adjustment of direct payments should be determined when the forecasts for direct payments and market related expenditure, taking into account any financial transfers between the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), indicate that the annual sub-ceiling under heading 2 set out in the Financial Framework will be exceeded. |
