Background & Objectives
Establishing an Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) is a key priority in the EU integration process for agriculture. It’s been mandated since 2004 under the Stabilisationand Association Agreement (SAA) and reflected in the Accession Partnership and National Programmefor Adoption of the Acquis (NPAA) Chapter 11 on Agriculture and Rural Development.
