Article 4



(1) Member States may provide in their CAP Strategic Plans that this GAEC will only be applicable as from claim year 2024 or 2025. In such cases, Member States shall demonstrate that the delay is necessary for the establishment of the management system in accordance with a detailed planning.

Member States, when establishing GAEC standard 2, shall ensure that on the land concerned an agricultural activity suitable for qualifying the land as agricultural area may be maintained.

(2) The buffer strips along water courses under this GAEC standard shall, as a general rule and in compliance with Union law, respect a minimum width of 3 meters without using pesticides and fertilisers.

In areas with significant dewatering and irrigation ditches, Member States may adjust, if duly justified for those areas, the minimum width in accordance with specific local circumstances.

(3) In duly justified cases, Member States may adapt in the regions concerned the minimum standards to take into account the short vegetation period resulting from the length and severity of the winter period.

(4) Rotation shall consist in a change of crop at least once a year at land parcel level (except in case of multiannual crops, grasses and other herbaceous forage, and land lying fallow), including the appropriately managed secondary crops.

On the basis of diversity of farming methods and agro-climatic conditions, Member States may authorise in the regions concerned other practices of enhanced crop rotation with leguminous crops or crop diversification which aim at improving and preserving the soil potential in line with the objectives of this GAEC standard.

Member States may exempt from the obligation under this standard holdings:

(a)where more than 75 % of the arable land is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage, is land lying fallow, is used for cultivation of leguminous crops, or is subject to a combination of those uses;

(b)where more than 75 % of the eligible agricultural area is permanent grassland, is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage or for the cultivation of crops under water either for a significant part of the year or for a significant part of the crop cycle, or is subject to a combination of those uses; or

(c)with a size of arable land up to 10 hectares.

Member States may introduce a maximum limit of area covered with a single crop to prevent large monocultures.

Farmers certified in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 shall be deemed to comply with this GAEC standard.

(5) ,Member States may exempt from the obligation under this indent holdings:

(a)where more than 75 % of the arable land is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage, is land lying fallow, is used for cultivation of leguminous crops, or is subject to a combination of those uses;

(b)where more than 75 % of the eligible agricultural area is permanent grassland, is used for the production of grasses or other herbaceous forage or for the cultivation of crops under water either for a significant part of the year or for a significant part of the crop cycle, or is subject to a combination of those uses; or

(c)with a size of arable land up to 10 hectares.

Member States with more than 50 % of their total land surface area covered by forest may exempt from the obligation under this indent holdings located in areas designated by those Member States as areas facing natural constraints in accordance with Article 32(1), point (a) or (b), of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, provided that more than 50 % of the land surface area of the unit referred to in the second sentence of this paragraph is covered by forest and the ratio of forest land to agricultural land is higher than 3:1. The area covered by forest and the ratio of forest land to agricultural land shall be assessed on an area level equivalent to the LAU2 level or on the level of another clearly delineated unit which covers a single clear contiguous geographical area having similar agricultural conditions.

(6) As implemented in particular by:

Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 and the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 37/2010,

Regulation (EC) No 852/2004: Article 4(1) and Annex I part A (II 4 (g, h, j), 5 (f, h), 6; III 8 (a, b, d, e), 9 (a, c)),
