Sheep and goat farmers: requirements for access to the Combined Agricultural Insurance Plan's farm insurance

Order APA/287/2026 defines the technical conditions, insurable animals, and scope of application for sheep and goat farm insurance under the Combined Agricultural Insurance Plan (Art. 1). The regulation establishes REGA registration requirements, traceability compliance, and specific conditions for disease coverage, such as caprine tuberculosis or scrapie (Art. 1.1). These provisions will apply to both the 47th and 48th Combined Agricultural Insurance Plans.

In 3 key points

  1. To renew caprine tuberculosis coverage, it must be done within 30 days of the previous policy's expiry (Art. 1.1.g). (art. 1.1.g)
  2. The transport of insured animals is only guaranteed if carried out on foot (Art. 1.9). (art. 1.9)
  3. Coverage for milk contamination by aflatoxins requires continuous production, mechanical milking, and a refrigeration tank (Art. 1.10). (art. 1.10)

How it affects those involved

Sheep and goat farmers must ensure their holding has a REGA code and complies with traceability regulations to be eligible for insurance (Art. 1.1.a and b). For caprine tuberculosis coverage, a sanitary status of 'Officially Free' or 'Free' is required (Art. 1.1.f). Regarding scrapie, holdings with recent positive cases under eradication measures are excluded (Art. 1.1.h). Animal transport is only covered if conducted on foot (Art. 1.9).
