Based on the first years of implementation, it appears redundant to carry out on-the-spot checks on interventions that are monitored by Copernicus Sentinels satellite data or other data with at least equivalent value, entailing an unjustified burden for the Member States and farmers.

To that end, Article 72 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2116 should be amended accordingly.
