A.


whereas Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires Member States to submit national Strategic Plans (‘CAP Strategic Plans’) for approval by the Commission;










B.


whereas Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 empowers the Commission to adopt additional requirements for the design of the interventions to be specified in the CAP Strategic Plans, in the area of direct payments, of certain agricultural sectors referred to in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and in the area of rural development, as well as common rules for those areas as regards the ratio for the good agricultural and environmental condition (GAEC) standard 1;










C.


whereas all those additional requirements are to be considered by the Member States when designing their CAP Strategic Plans that need to be transmitted or confirmed to the Commission as soon as possible;










D.


whereas the delegated regulation lays down the additional requirements for certain types of intervention specified by Member States in their CAP Strategic Plans for the period 2023 to 2027, as well as rules on the ratio for GAEC standard 1; whereas it is therefore appropriate to consider those additional requirements as fully necessary and urgent now;
