Article 72(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 lays down rules concerning the calculation of payments for area-specific disadvantages to compensate for the additional costs and income foregone resulting from compliance with certain mandatory requirements that go beyond the relevant GAEC standards. It does not grant payments for area-specific disadvantages resulting from the relevant GAEC standards. However, compliance with certain requirements established under GAEC standard 2 can be costly for farmers as they involve production limitations due to significant land use restrictions. In order to integrate costs related to the compliance with GAEC standard 2 in the calculation of payments for area-specific disadvantages resulting from compliance with certain mandatory requirements, it should be possible for Member States to include in such calculations disadvantages resulting from the requirements of that GAEC standard.
