                  A.
               
               
                  whereas Regulation (EU) 2020/2220 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (the ‘Transitional Regulation’), which amended Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 by including national envelopes for the years 2021 and 2022, only entered into force on 29 December 2020;
               
            
                  B.
               
               
                  whereas the set envelopes need to be adjusted once the Member States inform the Commission about the amounts of the reduction of payments exceeding EUR 150 000 and about their implementation of flexibility between pillars;
               
            
                  C.
               
               
                  whereas in previous years such notification took place in August and the Commission adopted the delegated act amending the envelopes in the autumn but, due to the late adoption of the Transitional Regulation, this was not possible in 2020;
               
            
                  D.
               
               
                  whereas, in order for the Member States and the Commission to be able to start implementation of rural development programmes for 2021, it is of the utmost importance for the delegated regulation to enter into force as soon as possible;
               
            
               
                  1.
               
               
                  Declares that it has no objections to the delegated regulation;
