Simplification – direct payments• Simplification of common agricultural policy is difficult.
• Bureaucracy and administrative burden cause stress for farmers. They are afraid of mistakes and sanctions.
• The simplification should take place on farm-level.
• Farmers think that simplification means more complicated system• payment entitlements, greening, permanent pasture…

Sanctions• Farmers understand the need for controls and sanctions. Use of
public money has to be controlled.
• We are all humans and make mistakes. One mistake can be devastating for farmers economy.
• In order for sanctions to be understood they need to be:• Understandable• Fair and proportionate

Cross compliance - Sanctions • Cross compliance and the heavy control system is a huge
bureaucratic burden for farmers and authorities.
• The sanctions should be understandable, fair and proportionate.
• Farmers should be sanctioned only once for one mistake, not multiple times in different support systems.

Constantly changing surface area of parcels
• Most commonly asked question: The field is the same as it has been for years but my aids got cut. WHY?
• Parcels in Finland are small, uneven, shadowed by forest and it seems that they are constantly changing in size.
• It is an unnecessary burden on administration and farmers alike and it is immensely irritating.
• Please take into account the conditions in Finland.

• In Finland the size of parcels changes almost in every control.
• Constantly changing area of parcels causes administrative burden with payment entitlements.
• Do we need payment entitlements in regional flat rate modell?
