answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 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.

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. UK Ministers have asked the Agriculture Commissioner to extend his review to also cover the other elements of the Greening requirements, in particular the Crop Diversification requirement.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As part of this work, we continue to develop our underpinning evidence base.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice grouped question UIN 8339 8340 8361 question first answered 07/09/2015 16:57:23 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
