The interplay between this respect for rules and the support provided to farmers is called conditionality. </p> <p>Rules farmers are expected to comply with include: </p> <ul> <li> <p>statutory management requirements (SMRs), these apply to all farmers whether or not they receive support under the common agricultural policy (CAP); </p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>good agricultural and environmental conditions (GAECs), these apply only to farmers receiving support under the CAP. </p> </li> </ul> <p>Farmers violating EU law relating to environmental, public and animal health, animal welfare or land management will have their EU support reduced and may face other penalties.</p> <h2 id="aimsofcrosscompliance">Aims of conditionality</h2> <p>Through conditionality (previously known as cross-compliance), farmers are encouraged to comply with high EU standards for public, plant, and animal health and welfare. Conditionality plays a role in making <a href="/sustainability_en?prefLang=de" class="ecl-link">European farming more sustainable</a>.</p> <h3 id="newcap202327">CAP 2023-27</h3> <p>In June 2021, following extensive negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission, agreement was reached on reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP).

January 2023. </p> <p>Compared to the previous CAP (2014-22), the rules for conditionality include a higher level of ambition in several domains, as it includes the most effective aspects of the
