Consultation on Policy options arising from the Common Agricultural Policy Health Check Agreement
The CAP Health Check agreement reached in Brussels in November 2008 provides regions with flexibility in implementing certain aspects of the reform. This consultation covers the options to move to a flat rate Single Farm Payment (SFP) scheme, to deploy a National Envelope Mechanism, to recycle unused SFP monies, to set a minimum level of payment per SFP applicant, to decouple the Protein Crop Premium from 2010 and to exclude from the SFP scheme those applicants who exercise very limited agricultural activity.
