Amendment: Integrated administration, control system & payment penalties (EU 640/2014)

This regulation updates the rules for the integrated administration and control system used to manage EU agricultural funding. It clarifies the conditions under which direct payments and rural development support can be refused, withdrawn, or subject to administrative penalties to ensure funds are used correctly.

This affects farmers and agri-businesses receiving EU subsidies, as well as the national authorities responsible for auditing and distributing agricultural funds.
