Land at the Disposal of the Farmer Form

Overview

The ‘Land at the Disposal of the Farmer’ form is a requirement that stems from Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 Article 4 paragraph 4, Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 paragraph 15 and Section 4.1.3 of the CAP Strategic Plan 2021 Report. The form serves as a farmers’ declaration, complemented, and signed by a Commissioner of Oaths attesting that the land is at the farmer’s disposal. The form needs to be signed on each page by applicant and Commissioner for Oaths. This procedure is required primarily for parcels intended to claim subsidy funds and for contestation cases where the procedure applies to all types of parcels.

What you'll get
