ARiMR information shows that the main principles for providing support have not changed compared to previous years, but individual standards have been modified as part of conditionality, selected payments or rules for completing the application.

One of the novelties is that this year it will be possible to apply for an agri-environment-climate payment for the protection of peat bogs and wetlands. A new definition of permanent grassland will also apply. The period after which arable land with grass or other fodder plants declared every year will become permanent grassland has been extended from five to seven years.
According to ARiMR's press release, under the eco-scheme “Conducting plant production in the Integrated Plant Production system”, payment will be available only to farmers who cultivate plants in accordance with integrated plant production methodologies developed by the State Plant Health and Seed Inspection. The agency also notes that farmers running organic farms will be exempt from the obligation to have an organic business plan.
