Obligations
What this law requires
Farmers and other beneficiaries of CAP aid in France for campaign 2026 must file the single application by the standard deadline; filings made between 16 May 2026 and 18 May 2026 are accepted without reduction, while later filings are penalized or rejected under the decree.
Farmers and other applicants for the 2026 single CAP aid application should file between 16 May 2026 and 18 May 2026 if submitted after the ordinary deadline, because filings in that window incur no reduction in aid amounts.
Farmers and other applicants for the 2026 single CAP aid application filing between 19 May 2026 and 9 June 2026 must accept a reduction of 1% per working day of delay in the aid amounts they would have received if filed on time.
If the single application for CAP aid is filed between 19 May 2026 and 9 June 2026, the beneficiary must accept a reduction of 1% of the aid amount for each working day of delay.
Applications for the single CAP aid request filed after 9 June 2026 are non-admissible and no aid will be granted.
