answer text <p>Our priority is a review of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) to ensure inspections, penalties and controls are proportionate to the EU Fund, and costs to Member States' implementation. There are two key areas that underpin IACS that can help achieve this ambition: a simplification of the inspections regime to make it more proportionate and risk-based, whilst maintaining an effective fraud deterrent; and a more pragmatic and proportionate penalties and control regime. This will help streamline the Common Agricultural Policy by reducing overall administrative burden and be fairer for farmers.</p><p>The European Commission has a requirement to review the Greening Ecological Focus Area requirements in 2016 and we expect work to commence in the autumn of this year.
