This amendment deletes provisions empowering the Commission to arbitrarily adjust individual Member States' environmental targets during the NRPP approval process based on external criteria like the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) or the Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR). The agricultural sector cannot single-handedly bear the burden of a mandatory 43% target or compensate for the underperformance of other sectors. Furthermore, the CAP budget must remain strictly separate from the implementation of the NRR. The CAP's environmental measures are structurally and legally distinct from the NRR's restoration targets; attempting to merge them creates severe operational misalignment, violates TFEU and Competitiveness Compass objectives, and unfairly penalizes farmers for systemic shortfalls in dedicated biodiversity funding.

The Commission shall strive to ensure that the overall Union allocation of all NRP Plans corresponds to the specific climate and environment indicative spending target referred to in Annex III of Regulation (EU) .../... [Performance Regulation] and shall keep the Parliament and Council informed of the measures undertaken in case of a lower allocation. The Commission shall ensure that the overall Union allocation of all NRP Plans shall not deviate downwards by more than ten percentage points in comparison with the specific climate and environment indicative spending target referred to in Annex III of Regulation (EU) .../... [Performance Regulation]. |

The specific percentage shall be established by the Commission in the context of the approval of the NRP Plan |
Riomarkers award contribution to environment and climate to field interventions that in reality do not contribute to it. If, including for that reason, the national restoration plan implementation will lack financing from Union resources, Member States will need to increase the contribution. MS has to send to EC the draft national restoration plans in September 2026, therefore the needs will be known. Further, the ''lowering'' is unacceptable with blns of EUR financing gap annually for climate and environment objectives across Union.

The guidance on national climate and environmental allocations should serve primarily to safeguard a level playing field within the internal market. Significant divergences between Member States in the share committed to agri-environmental schemes can distort competition between farmers across the Union. Anchoring this objective in the provision ensures that the Commission's room to adjust the percentage is used to prevent such distortions rather than to widen them.

The implementation of CAP measures should rest on the CAP objectives enshrined in Articles 38 to 44 TFEU. Since the targets of the Effort Sharing Regulation and the Nature Restoration Law require resources beyond the CAP allocation, the recommendations on national climate and environmental allocations should serve primarily to safeguard a level playing field, preventing the distortions that occur when Member States commit markedly higher or lower shares to agri-environmental schemes than the EU average.

This amendment deletes provisions empowering the Commission to arbitrarily adjust individual Member States' environmental targets during the NRPP approval process based on external criteria like the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) or the Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR). The agricultural sector cannot single-handedly bear the burden of a mandatory 43% target or compensate for the underperformance of other sectors. Furthermore, the CAP budget must remain strictly separate from the implementation of the NRR. The CAP's environmental measures are structurally and legally distinct from the NRR's restoration targets; attempting to merge them creates severe operational misalignment, violates TFEU and Competitiveness Compass objectives, and unfairly penalizes farmers for systemic shortfalls in dedicated biodiversity funding.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2a. The NRP Plan shall be prepared, implemented and revised in genuine and continuous cooperation with the competent regional and local authorities, in accordance with the principle of multi-level governance and the partnership principle. The involvement of the regions shall be mandatory for every measure affecting territorial cohesion and regional development, and the NRPP shall document how their views have been taken into account. |
The partnership principle and multi-level governance are foundational to cohesion policy and to its effectiveness and democratic legitimacy. Making the involvement of regional and local authorities mandatory for every measure affecting territorial cohesion and regional development, and requiring the plan to document how their views were taken into account, prevents centralisation and ensures that those closest to citizens shape the investments that affect them.

Ensure that a specific, ring-fenced and sufficient share of the resources is reserved for islands and island regions facing permanent structural disadvantages owing to their insularity; each NRPP shall include a dedicated assessment of island needs and targeted measures for connectivity, housing, energy, water and basic public services; |
Islands face permanent structural disadvantages owing to insularity, expressly recognised by Article 174 TFEU. A ring-fenced and sufficient share of resources, combined with a dedicated assessment of island needs and targeted measures for connectivity, housing, energy, water and basic services, is the only way to compensate for these handicaps and to guarantee islanders genuine equality of opportunity.

| 2c. Where CAP expenditure is counted towards wider NRPP objectives or targets, including rural or social targets, Member States shall clearly identify the expenditure concerned, the share attributed and the methodology used. Such contributions shall be measurable, verifiable and subject to monitoring and audit. Double counting towards financial targets or minimum allocations shall not be permitted. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2c. Commit a specific part of the NRPP resources to islands with a population below 20 000 inhabitants and to remote mountain and rural areas facing severe demographic decline, in order to support housing, health, education, transport, digital connectivity and energy and water security; |
Small islands below 20 000 inhabitants and remote mountain and rural areas in severe demographic decline are the territories most at risk of abandonment. Committing a specific part of resources to housing, health, education, transport, digital connectivity and energy and water security in these areas is essential to reverse depopulation and to uphold the right of their inhabitants to remain.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1a. Where an amendment concerns exclusively a regional or territorial chapter, the relevant regional or local managing authority designated pursuant to Article 49(1a) shall have the right to initiate the amendment procedure by formally notifying the Member State of its request to amend the chapter. | |
| The Member State shall transmit such an amendment request to the Commission, together with the amended regional or territorial chapter as prepared by the relevant regional or local authority, without substantive modification, within one month of the notification referred to in the first subparagraph. Where the Member State considers a modification necessary for reasons of overall Plan consistency or compliance with this Regulation, it shall obtain the explicit written agreement of the relevant regional or local authority prior to transmission. | |
| The relevant regional or local managing authority concerned shall interact and negotiate directly with the Commission regarding that amendment. | |
| Where the Member State fails to transmit an amendment request in accordance with the second subparagraph within the period referred to therein, the relevant regional or local managing authority designated pursuant to Article 49(1a) may inform the Commission thereof. The Commission shall take this information into account in its assessment of the fulfilment of the partnership horizontal condition laid down in Article 9a, and in particular of the condition referred to in Article 9a(1a)(d). | |
| The same right of initiation referred to in this paragraph, including the one-month transmission deadline and the no-substantive-modification obligation set out in the second subparagraph, shall apply mutatis mutandis to reprogramming requests submitted pursuant to Article 24a. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1a) A reasoned request for an amendment to an NRP Plan, setting out the expected impact of that amendment on the achievement of the objectives laid down in Articles 2 and 3, may be submitted to the Commission together with the amended NRP Plan. Additional amendments may be submitted prior to the completion of the previous amendment procedure provided that the additional amendment relates to clearly identifiable parts of the NRP Plan, for example a different Chapter. This shall include the possibility of sub-national authorities responsible for a Chapter or parts thereof submitting an amendment solely for the Chapters or parts thereof which fall within their mandate. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1a. Any substantial amendment to an NRPP that affects economic, social and territorial cohesion, the CAP, rural and regional development, fisheries, social measures or resources intended to address the demographic crisis shall be made only after meaningful consultation with the competent regional and local authorities, social partners, the relevant final beneficiaries and, where appropriate, organisations representing farmers, fishers and civil society. | |
| The Commission shall reject amendments that unjustifiably reduce support for less developed, rural, island, mountain, coastal, border or disadvantaged areas, or for vulnerable groups. |
Plan amendments can quietly undo the territorial and social balance agreed at the outset. Requiring meaningful consultation with regional and local authorities, social partners and the organisations representing farmers, fishers and civil society before any substantial amendment, and empowering the Commission to reject amendments that unjustifiably cut support for disadvantaged areas or vulnerable groups, protects the original cohesion commitments throughout the lifetime of the plan.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1a. Any amendment of the NRP Plan shall ensure that no sector, region, community or category of beneficiary directly affected by the Plan is adversely affected in a disproportionate manner compared with others. Where an amendment would materially reduce the allocation, level of support or scope of measures for such a sector, region, community or category of beneficiary, the Member State shall provide an objective justification and an assessment of the expected impact. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1a. Upon receiving the reasoned request and the proposed amendments to the Plan, the Commission shall immediately transmit the documents to the European Parliament and European Council. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1b. The Commission shall assess the plausibility and proportionality, in particular in terms of significantly changed circumstances in comparison to the original plan submission, such as force majeure, economic shocks, geopolitical developments, of the reasoned request, justifying the amendment of the Plan, and share the assessment with the European Parliament and European Council. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 2. The Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRP Plan with this Regulation, including Article 23 [Commission proposal and Council implementing decision], and may make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRP Plan. | 2. Where the reasoned request is justified, the Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRP Plan with this Regulation according to Article 22a, including, in particular with requirements set out in Article 22 and Article 23. The Commission may make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRP Plan. The Commission shall assess specifically the effects of the amendments on progress achieved, including partial fulfilment of measures, and ensure there is no roll-back on linked milestones and targets. |
| The approval procedure, including deficiencies, shall be in line with Article 23. |

| 2. The Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRP Plan with this Regulation, including Article 23 [Commission proposal and Council implementing decision], and may make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRP Plan. | 2. The Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRP Plan with this Regulation, including Article 23 [Commission proposal and Council implementing decision], and may make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRP Plan. The amendment may concern one or more chapters of the NRP Plan. |
| A Member State may submit further requests for amendment before the adoption of the decision laid down in paragraph 5, provided that these amendments concern different chapters. |
It is important to clarify in the text that parallel amendments of the Plan are possible, especially taking into account that they cover different policies. It is also important to ensure their independence in the management and functioning.

A Member State may submit further requests for amendment before the adoption of the decision laid down in paragraph 5, provided that these amendments concern different chapters. |
This amendment clarifies that parallel amendments to the Plan are possible. Given that the Plan covers different policy areas, it is important to ensure sufficient flexibility for Member States to adapt individual components independently, while preserving the efficient management and implementation of each policy chapter.

| 2. The Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRP Plan with this Regulation, including Article 23 [Commission proposal and Council implementing decision], and may make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRP Plan. | 2. The Commission shall assess the compliance of the amended NRPP with this Regulation, including Article 23 [Commission proposal and Council implementing decision], assess whether the plan respects the partnership principle, includes the views of the regions, municipalities and local authorities, protects the distinct policies of cohesion, the CAP, fisheries and regional development, and may subsequently make observations within three months of the submission of the amended NRPP. |
When assessing amended plans, the Commission must verify not only formal compliance but also respect for the partnership principle, the inclusion of the views of regions and local authorities, and the protection of the distinct policies of cohesion, the CAP, fisheries and regional development. This prevents amendments from being used to erode these policies through procedural shortcuts.

The proposed time for the Commission should not be longer than two months. Member States should have enough time to implement amended Plan, prepare national legislation and adjust administrative systems as well as to inform beneficiaries in advance of the amended regulations, especially this concerns beneficiaries of annual payments under the Common Agricultural Policy.

Given the potentially high number of amendments to NRP Plans, the proposed involvement of the Council in the adoption – and particularly the amendment – of these Plans would not help to simplify the process. On the contrary, it could delay implementation even more by adding an extra level of approval and extending the decision-making process by about a month.

| Article 24a | |
| Build Back Better Reprogramming | |
| 1. Where a natural disaster has been formally recognised by a competent national or regional authority, the Member State or, in accordance with Article 24(1a), the managing authority responsible for a regional or territorial chapter of the NRP Plan may submit a request to amend the NRP Plan in order to: | |
| (a) reprogram existing measures of the NRP Plan or a regional or territorial chapter thereof by reducing or removing them and replacing them with new measures supporting the specific objective referred to in Article 3(1)(a)(xb); or | |
| (b) introduce new measures supporting the specific objective referred to in Article 3(1)(a)(xb), where that specific objective is already included in the NRP Plan or in the relevant regional or territorial chapter. | |
| 2. Measures introduced or modified pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be limited to measures that: | |
| (a) reconstruct infrastructure damaged by the disaster incorporating enhanced climate resilience standards beyond pre-disaster specifications; | |
| (b) implement flood prevention, coastal protection, wildfire risk reduction or other natural hazard mitigation works; | |
| (c) restore or create ecosystems providing natural protection, including nature-based solutions; | |
| (d) upgrade energy efficiency or integrate renewable energy in rebuilt structures; | |
| (e) establish or upgrade digital infrastructure supporting early-warning systems, emergency management or crisis communication. | |
| Measures consisting solely of restoration to pre-disaster conditions without resilience enhancement shall not be eligible under this Article. | |
| 3. The total resources reprogrammed or newly programmed under this Article shall not exceed the lower of: | |
| (a) 10% of the total ERDF allocation of the Member State under the NRP Plan; or | |
| (b) the total direct damage arising from the natural disaster, as certified by the competent authority in the damage assessment referred to in paragraph 5(b). | |
| Where a Member State is affected by multiple disasters within the same programming period, the ceiling referred to in point (a) applies cumulatively to all reprogramming measures under this Article. | |
| The Commission shall maintain a running account of the resources committed under this Article per Member State and shall, upon request by the Member State or by any managing authority designated pursuant to Article 49(1a), inform them of the remaining available amount within five working days. | |
| 4. A reprogramming request under this Article shall not be submitted before the expiry of eight weeks from the earlier of the dates referred to in paragraph 5, first subparagraph, points (i) and (ii). This period shall allow for the preparation of a damage assessment that accurately reflects reconstruction needs. | |
| By way of exception, where ongoing disaster conditions make it impossible to complete the damage assessment within eight weeks, the Member State or managing authority may notify the Commission of this circumstance. The eight-week period shall be suspended from the date of such notification until the Commission acknowledges that the conditions for completing the assessment have been restored, and for a maximum of an additional eight weeks. | |
| 5. The request referred to in paragraph 1 shall be submitted within six months of the earlier of the following: | |
| (i) the formal recognition of the natural disaster by the competent authority; or | |
| (ii) the formal notification by the regional or local managing authority to the Member State pursuant to Article 24(1a). | |
| The six-month period referred to in the first subparagraph applies to the submission of the request to the Commission. Where the regional or local managing authority has notified the Member State pursuant to Article 24(1a), the one-month transmission deadline incumbent on the Member State pursuant to Article 24(1a), second subparagraph, continues to apply and runs within the six-month period. The running of the six-month period is not suspended by any delay on the part of the Member State in transmitting the request. | |
| Article 24(1a), second subparagraph, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the transmission of the request by the Member State to the Commission. The Member State shall not substantively modify the content of the request as prepared by the regional or local managing authority without the explicit written agreement of that authority. The request shall comprise: | |
| (a) a description of the natural disaster and the formal recognition thereof by the competent authority; | |
| (b) a damage assessment establishing the total direct damage, as certified by the competent authority; | |
| (c) a description of the existing measures to be reduced or removed and of the new or modified measures to be introduced, with their estimated costs and a reconstruction timetable; | |
| (d) a demonstration that the new or modified measures fall within paragraph 2 and support the specific objective referred to in Article 3(1)(a)(xb). | |
| Article 22(2a)(c) shall not apply to measures introduced or modified pursuant to this Article. The reconstruction timetable referred to in point (c) of this paragraph shall replace the milestones and targets otherwise required for regional or territorial chapter measures. | |
| By way of derogation from Article 24(2), where the amendment request is complete and the Commission has not raised a duly reasoned objection within 15 working days of receipt, the amendment shall be deemed approved and the NRP Plan shall be amended accordingly without further decision. A duly reasoned objection may only be raised on grounds of non-compliance with paragraph 2, paragraph 3 or paragraph 5(d) of this Article. Where the Commission raises a duly reasoned objection, the Member State or managing authority shall address the objection and resubmit the request. The 15 working-day period shall restart upon resubmission. | |
| 6. Upon the approval or deemed approval referred to in paragraph 5, the Commission shall pay pre-financing of 30% of the Union contribution allocated to the reprogrammed or newly programmed measures. This pre-financing is additional to any pre-financing provided under Article 17 and Article 34(7) and shall be cleared on an annual basis. | |
| The Member State shall transfer the pre-financing referred to in the first subparagraph to the relevant regional or local managing authority designated pursuant to Article 49(1a) within 15 working days of receipt from the Commission. Article 50(1)(g) shall apply to such transfer. | |
| 7. By way of derogation from Article 63(6) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509, the managing authority may select for support, under measures introduced or modified pursuant to this Article, measures that have been physically completed or fully implemented before the submission of the application for funding to the managing authority, provided that: | |
| (a) those measures were carried out in response to a natural disaster occurring on or after 1 January 2028; and | |
| (b) the formal recognition referred to in paragraph 5(i) has been issued. | |
| This paragraph shall not apply to measures completed before the natural disaster occurred. | |
| 8. Resources reprogrammed under this Article shall complement and not replace any support provided under Articles 26 and 34. Member States and managing authorities shall ensure that no cost is covered twice. The damage assessment referred to in paragraph 5(b) shall indicate which costs are covered by each source of support. | |
| 9. Measures introduced or modified pursuant to this Article shall not be subject to suspension of payments pursuant to Article 67 on grounds of non-compliance with country-specific recommendations or reform commitments for which the relevant regional or local managing authority designated pursuant to Article 49(1a) bears no responsibility. | |
| The Commission shall assess the responsibility of the relevant managing authority when determining the scope of any suspension affecting measures included in a regional or territorial chapter. This paragraph is without prejudice to the application of Article 67 to the Member State as a whole. |
