HomeIs the Commission’s system for performance measurement in relation to farmers’ incomes well designed and based on sound data
Special report No 01, 2016
Publication metadata
The incomes and standard of living of farmers are a particular focus of the EU’s common agricultural policy. Almost one third of the EU budget is still directly or indirectly dedicated to supporting farmers’ incomes. The Court examined the system which the Commission set up to measure the incomes of farmers and the performance of the EU measures aimed at supporting their income. The Court observed that the system is not sufficiently well designed and that the quantity and quality of statistical data used to analyse farmers’ incomes has significant limitations. The Court recommends that the Commission develop a more comprehensive framework for providing information on the incomes of farmers and enhances the present arrangements for assuring the quality of income data. The Commission should also define from the outset appropriate operational objectives and baselines against which the performance of the EU measures aimed at supporting farmers’ incomes can be compared.
