To ensure compatibility of the CAP Strategic Plans with the Union CAP legal framework, the Commission should have the power to object to notified amendments where it considers that those amendments are not compatible with Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 or Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 or the delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to them. To ensure legal certainty for farmers and other beneficiaries, the Member States should upon receipt of a Commission objection to a notified amendment not apply that amendment and remove such amendment from the amended CAP Strategic Plan submitted to the Commission. Expenditure related to such amendments should also not be eligible for a contribution from the EAFG or the EAFRD. The experience shows that Member States may notify complex and numerous amendments to their CAP Strategic Plans. The Commission should therefore have a reasonable period of time to assess the notified amendments and, where necessary, to object to them. Member States should have the possibility to submit amendments to which Commission made objections for approval as a part of a request for strategic amendment referred to in Article 119(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, as amended by this Regulation. That should ensure that those amendments only take legal effect if they comply with Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 and Regulation (EU) 2021/2116, as well as delegated and implementing acts adopted pursuant to them.
