of 1 December 2025
         
amending Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Member States’ allocations for direct payments and the annual breakdown by Member State of the Union support for rural development


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013 (1), and in particular Article 87(2) and Article 89(4) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Article 103(1), point (a), Article 103(2) and Article 103(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Denmark, France and the Netherlands decided in their CAP Strategic Plan to review the percentage of their allocations for direct payments for calendar year 2026 transferred to their allocations for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).












(2)


In accordance with Article 103(1), point (b), Article 103(3) and Article 103(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Slovakia decided in its CAP Strategic Plan to transfer a percentage of its allocation for the EAFRD in financial year 2027 to its allocation for direct payments.












(3)


In accordance with Article 88(6) and Article 88(7) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Czechia, France and Slovakia decided in their CAP Strategic Plan to review the percentage of their allocations for direct payments used for types of interventions in other sectors referred to in Title III, Chapter III, Section 7, of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 for calendar years 2026 and 2027. The corresponding amounts should therefore be deducted from their allocations for direct payments.












(4)


To reflect those decisions, it is necessary to adapt those Member States’ allocations for direct payments set out in Annexes V and IX to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, as well as the annual breakdown by Member State of the Union support for rural development set out in Annex XI to that Regulation.












(5)


Annexes V, IX and XI to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(6)


As the amendments made by this Regulation affect the application of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 from 1 January 2026, in particular as regards the types of intervention in the form of direct payments, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and should apply from 1 January 2026,
