Summary: Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 - formally signed off by the co-legislators on 2 December 2021 - introducing a number of amendments to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, to Regulation (EU) No 251/2014 and to Regulation (EU) No 228/2013, in the framework of a wider reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Further information: Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 seeks to enhance the European Union's quality policy for agricultural products by increasing the coherence of various quality schemes, and it includes measures to support agricultural and processing activities, along with the farming systems associated with high-quality products. Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 allows for special arrangements that aim to compensate the EU's outermost regions and their farmers for the difficulties they face due to their remote locations. Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 established a common framework for the organisation of agricultural markets in the EU, and it is also known as the CMO Regulation. Regulation (EU) No 251/2014 stipulates the specifications of aromatised wine products and protection of their geographical indications. As foreseen in its 2017 Work Programme, the European Commission held consultations on the simplification and modernisation of the CAP. The outcome was presented in a Communication on the Future of Food and Farming, published in November 2017. It later informed a legislative package introducing a new CAP reform, published on 1 June 2018 by the Commission in the framework of the discussions concerning the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027. There was an understanding that the sectoral context had changed substantially since the previous reform, and so had the wider objectives of the European Union. This Regulation was tabled in such framework. The European Parliament's relevant committee initially approved a preliminary position on 1 April 2019. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach on 21 October 2020. Under a new parliamentary term, the Parliament's plenary adopted its own negotiating position on 23 October. Trilogue negotiations were launched in November 2020. An informal agreement on a compromise text for this file was reached by the co-legislators on 25 June 2021. This was formally endorsed by the Parliament on 23 November and by the Council on 2 December. The Act was signed on the same day and published in the Official Journal on 6 December 2021. |
