I also negotiated changes for young farmers which include the more equitable calculation of single payment entitlements for those who entered farming during the reference period, flexibility to create a national reserve using up to 3% of established entitlements, with the possibility of ring-fencing a certain percentage of entitlements for young farmers who commenced farming activity after 31 December 2002, and the possibility of allowing young farmers who inherit farms to inherit also any entitlements established by the retiring farmer.
