Risk management interventions are very useful in making farmers more resilient and should, therefore, be encouraged. However, experience has shown that current rules are too rigid for that type of intervention to be used to its full potential. In particular, it appears that the current formula for the calculation of losses is not adapted to the specific situation of certain beneficiaries, such as young farmers, to areas with permanent crops or to other justified cases for which the calculation formula of losses is not appropriate. To increase the use and uptake of risk management tools under Article 76 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Member States should have more flexibility for calculating the losses for such beneficiaries or crops, enabling them to take into account their specific situations.
