HomeAnalysis of administrative burden arising from the CAP
Final report
Publication metadata
This study collects evidence and measures the costs related to the implementation of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) after the CAP 2013 reform. It analyses in-depth the different forms of IACS, Land Parcel Identification System and related control mechanisms, as well as the costs associated to cross-compliance. Overall, the 2013 reform led to an increase of the administrative burden on administrations, which has helped to avoid a significant increase of the burden on the beneficiaries. For the administrations, IACS administrative costs are estimated to represent around 3% of the annual CAP budget. For farmers, the share of the administrative burden, excluding compliance costs, accounts for about 2% of the total aid received. The study recommends to consider the administrative cost implications of Member States interventions in the future CAP strategic plans and to stimulate the use of digital technology. The report proposes examples of actions that could be taken by the Member States. The study also reveals that there is little data available on the administrative costs related to the CAP implementation which makes comparisons between Member States difficult and which does not allow for a monitoring of the costs over time.
