A common framework for monitoring and evaluating the new CAP’s achievements has been adopted. This decision also sets out clear rules on the detailed information that Member States will need to collect so they can develop the appropriate IT tools and collection systems.
The new CAP Implementing Regulation reflects the policy’s overall reorientation from a focus on compliance to a focus on results and performance. It is designed to help make the CAP more effective and efficient, as well as more respondent to social and environment needs. This new evaluation framework laid down in the Regulation builds on existing experience and provides a common understanding of key concepts and elements for monitoring and evaluating of CSP implementation.
