Pursuant to Article 70(8) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Member States are to establish payments for agri-environment-climate commitments or commitments to convert to or maintain organic farming practices and methods as payments per hectare only. In order to ensure consistency with support under the eco-schemes referred to in Article 31 of that Regulation, it should be possible for Member States, in duly justified cases, to grant support for such commitments in the form of a payment per livestock unit. In order to facilitate activities beneficial for the environment in the case of beekeeping, it should be possible to grant support for agri-environment-climate commitments or commitments to convert to or maintain organic farming in the form of a payment per beehive. To ensure coherence of the definitions used in the CAP Strategic Plans, beehive for the purposes of granting support for those commitments should mean beehive as defined in the delegated act referred to in Article 56, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115.
