New rules for active farmers applying for EU subsidies

This law introduces stricter criteria for farmers to qualify as 'actively farming' and receive EU subsidies. Farmers will now need to prove they incur costs or generate income from farming. The goal is to ensure that support goes to those who are genuinely engaged in agricultural activity.
Key points
Farmers applying for subsidies must prove they are 'actively farming' by showing receipts for expenses or invoices for sales.
Specific thresholds for costs and income will be set, depending on the size of the farm.
Simplified rules apply to farmers with livestock or those growing specific crops (e.g., sugar beets, tomatoes).
A transition period in 2026 eases the requirements for smaller farmers (with subsidies up to about 1125 euros).
The 'active farmer' status will be recorded in official decisions and the national farm register.
