Summary

Key Points: 

• On 07.01.2019 the Committee on Budgetary Control will consider two opinions to AGRI:
  - Financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy - Rapporteur: Claudia Schmidt (EPP)
  - 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) - Rapporteur: Joachim Zeller (EPP)
  On both opinions, the Committee on Budgetary Control welcomes the Commission's attempt to move from a compliance-based towards a performance-based delivery model of the CAP.
• However, the European Court of Auditors stated that "this move would not remove the need to check legality and regularity" (opinion 7/2018).
