The new CAP includes a “crisis reserve”, which can be drawn on in case of need. Worth roughly a noncumulative €400 million a year, the reserve is financed by the cut of Direct Payments exceeding the €2,000 per year threshold. For this very reason though, the institutions are unwilling to dip into it. In fact, up to now the reserve has not been used. Then there are interventions that support the underwriting of insurance policies, such as the Single CMO Regulation (Reg. 1308/2013).
