This Regulation addresses the devasting effects of the current natural disasters and the urgency of addressing and mitigating their impact on the Union agri-food and forestry sectors. Pursuant to Article 6a of Regulation (EU) 2020/2220, a temporary measure was introduced to provide exceptional support in response to the consequences of natural disasters. This measure is financed through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), within the legal framework governing the programming period 2014–2020, as extended by the Regulation (EU) 2020/2220. This Regulation considers the new measure as as non-area-related and non-animal-related rural development measure under Title IV of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014, for the purpose of the implementation of checks and penalties.
