In accordance with Article 88(6), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, France decided in its CAP Strategic Plan to use up to 5 % of its allocations for direct payments for types of interventions in other sectors referred to in Title III, Chapter III, Section 7, of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 for calendar years 2024 to 2027. The corresponding amounts are therefore to be deducted from France’s allocations for direct payments.

(2)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/813 (2) reflected the changes in Member States’ allocations for direct payments following the approval of the CAP Strategic Plans, but did not include the changes decided by France for this type of transfer. To reflect that Member State’s decision, it is therefore necessary to adapt France’s allocations for direct payments set out in Annexes V and IX to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115.

(3)

Annexes V and IX to Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

As the transfer of allocations decided by France concerns the implementation of interventions in calendar years 2024 to 2027, it takes effect as of 1 January 2024. In order to adequately reflect this modification also in Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 and since the amendments made by this Regulation affect the application of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 from the year 2024, in particular as regards the types of intervention in the form of direct payments, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and should apply retroactively from 1 January 2024,
