EU Eases CAP Regulations for Farmers Affected by Exceptional Weather Events

The European Commission has introduced a directive to alleviate burdens on farmers who face challenges due to exceptional weather conditions, such as severe floods and droughts.
This new measure ensures that farmers in affected areas will not lose their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments if they are unable to meet specific CAP requirements under such adverse conditions.
According to a Reuters report, the directive stipulates that farmers will not be required to submit individual requests or provide evidence to qualify for force majeure exceptions. This decision is part of the EU's broader initiative to simplify bureaucratic processes and respond to grievances that have led to widespread protests across Europe earlier this year.
