DG AGRI and the ENRD Contact Point jointly organised a workshop on ‘Agri-environment-climate Measures (AECM): Challenges of controllability and verifiability’ in Brussels on 7 December 2016.
The workshop addressed specifically the design and implementation of result-oriented AECM; collective approaches to AECM; and support for input reduction. It further discussed challenges related to controllability and verifiability of AECM interventions and the avoidance of double funding. Finally, it explored the opportunities that the Measure offers in the above mentioned fields.
The workshop included presentations from experts and auditors from DG AGRI and the European Court of Auditors (ECA). Additionally, it discussed examples of current practices in a number of EU Member States and featured practical exercises on designing and implementing audit-compliant, result-oriented AECM.
The event gathered around 80 national and regional Managing Authorities and Paying Agencies, as well as DG AGRI Desk Officers.
