RULES ON CONDITIONALITY PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 12

SMR: Statutory management requirement

GAEC: Standard for good agricultural and environmental condition of land

Member States may provide in their CAP Strategic Plans that this GAEC will only be applicable as from claim year 2024 or 2025. In such cases, Member States shall demonstrate that the delay is necessary for the establishment of the management system in accordance with a detailed planning.

Member States, when establishing GAEC standard 2, shall ensure that on the land concerned an agricultural activity suitable for qualifying the land as agricultural area may be maintained.

The buffer strips along water courses under this GAEC standard shall, as a general rule, and in compliance with Union law, respect the minimum width of 3 metres without using pesticides and fertilisers.

In areas with significant dewatering and irrigation ditches, Member States may adjust, if duly justified for those areas, the minimum width in accordance with specific local circumstances.

Member States may use for the purposes of this GAEC standard the definition of water courses laid down in national legislation, provided that that definition is in line with the main objective of this GAEC standard.

[^E0033]: (²)

Member States may in particular take into account the short vegetation period resulting from the length and severity of the winter period in the regions concerned.

Rotation shall consist of a change of crop at land parcel level (except in the cases of multiannual crops, grasses and other herbaceous forage, and land lying fallow), including the appropriately managed secondary crops.

On the basis of diversity of farming methods and agro-climatic conditions, Member States may authorise in the regions concerned other practices of enhanced crop rotation with leguminous crops or crop diversification which aim at improving and preserving the soil potential in line with the objectives of this GAEC standard.

When defining crop diversification requirements, Member States shall respect the following minimum requirements:

(a) where the size of arable land of a holding is between 10 and 30 ha, crop diversification shall consist of cultivation of arable land of a holding with at least two different crops on that arable land; the main crop shall not cover more than 75 % of that arable land; (b) where the size of arable land of a holding is more than 30 ha, crop diversification shall consist of cultivation of arable land of a holding with at least three different crops on that arable land; the main crop shall not cover more than 75 % of that arable land and the two main crops together shall not cover more than 95 % of that arable land.

Member States may exempt from the obligations under this standard holdings:

(a) where more than 75 % of the arable land is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage, is land lying fallow, is used for cultivation of leguminous crops, or is subject to a combination of those uses;

(b) where more than 75 % of the eligible agricultural area is permanent grassland, is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage or for the cultivation of crops under water either for a significant part of the year or for a significant part of the crop cycle, or is subject to a combination of those uses; or (c) with a size of arable land up to 10 ha.

Member States may introduce a maximum limit of area covered with a single crop to prevent large monocultures.

As implemented in particular by: — Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 and the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 37/2010, — Regulation (EC) No 852/2004: Article 4(1) and Annex I part A (II 4 (g, h, j), 5 (f, h), 6; III 8 (a, b, d, e), 9 (a, c)), — Regulation (EC) No 853/2004: Article 3(1), Annex III Section IX Chapter I (I-1 b, c, d, e; I-2 a (i, ii, iii), b (i, ii), c; I-3; I-4; I-5; II-A 1, 2, 3, 4; II-B 1(a, d), 2, 4 (a, b)), Annex III Section X Chapter I(1),

— Regulation (EC) No 183/2005: Article 5(1), (5) and (6), Annex I, part A (I-4 e, g; II-2 a, b, e), and Annex III (under the heading ‘FEEDING’, point 1 entitled ‘Storage’, first and last sentences, and point 2 entitled ‘Distribution’, third sentence), and — Regulation (EC) No 396/2005: Article 18.
