| Entry into force | October 5, 2026 |
| Affected parties | Farmers and livestock breeders in Castilla and León who are beneficiaries of agricultural insurance subsidies |
| Category | Agriculture and Fisheries |
| Key deadline | Data exchange before September 30 of each year |

| Legal basis | Law 40/2015 on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector |
Farmers and livestock breeders in Castilla and León who receive agricultural insurance subsidies will now be subject to more systematic cross-data control. The Resolution of October 7, 2026 formalizes the agreement between the State Agricultural Insurance Entity (ENESA) and the Castilla and León Regional Government to exchange information about beneficiaries in their autonomous community.
The objective is clear: to prevent subsidies from being received by those who do not meet the requirements, and to confirm that those who do meet them are correctly identified. The agreement is based on the Law 40/2015 on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector and does not generate economic costs between the signing administrations.
What does this regulation establish?
The agreement defines a bidirectional and periodic data flow between ENESA and the Autonomous Community of Castilla and León. Each party provides different information:
Data that Castilla and León will provide to ENESA
- Information about young farmers
- Data on priority farms
- Information about organic production
- Data on members of various agricultural associations
Data that ENESA will provide to Castilla and León
- Lists of tax identification numbers (NIF) of agricultural insurance subsidy beneficiaries
- Results of subsidy eligibility controls carried out by ENESA
Operating mechanisms
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Minimum exchange frequency | Annual |
| Maximum delivery deadline | Before September 30 of each year |
| Additional frequency | Possibility of more frequent exchanges if agreed |
| Monitoring body | Parity monitoring committee (ENESA + Castilla and León Regional Government) |
| Committee function | Resolve discrepancies between the parties |
| Economic cost | None between the signing parties |
Economic and operational impact
For administrations, the agreement entails no cost: this is expressly established in the agreement. The real impact falls on subsidy beneficiaries.
Automated and periodic data cross-checking means that any discrepancy between the information declared by the farmer or livestock breeder and the records of the Castilla and León Regional Government will be exposed. The profiles with the highest risk of review are:
- Those receiving the young farmer bonus without being registered as such in the regional records.
- Holders of priority farms whose qualification has expired or is not up to date.
- Producers who declare organic production without appearing in the corresponding regional register.
- Members of associations who no longer belong to them at the time of control.
The direct consequence of a detected discrepancy is the possible loss of the agricultural insurance subsidy, which depending on the type of farm and crop can represent a significant percentage of the total premium cost.
Who does it affect?
- Young farmers in Castilla and León who receive additional bonuses on their agricultural insurance.
- Holders of priority farms in Castilla and León with active insurance subsidies.
- Organic producers in Castilla and León who access specific subsidies due to this condition.
- Members of agricultural associations (cooperatives, associations, plant protection associations or others) who benefit from collective or individual subsidies linked to their membership.
- Agricultural advisors and management firms who process insurance and subsidies for the above: they must verify that their clients' documentation is up to date.
Practical example
A young farmer from Valladolid contracted agricultural insurance in 2025 with a regional bonus for his status as a young farmer. In 2026, the Castilla and León Regional Government transmits to ENESA, before September 30, the updated list of young farmers registered in its records.
If that farmer completed five years from his first installation and no longer appears in the regional register as a young farmer, the data cross-check will detect it. ENESA will receive the information, review the subsidy eligibility of the premium and may conclude that the bonus applied was not appropriate.
The result: reimbursement of the subsidy improperly received, with the interest and administrative consequences that correspond according to subsidy regulations. The key to avoiding this is keeping regional records up to date before the annual data exchange takes place.
What should farmers and livestock breeders do now?
- Verify the validity of young farmer status in the records of the Castilla and León Regional Government before September 30 of each year. If the status has expired, the bonus cannot continue to be applied.
- Check that the farm is listed as priority and that the qualification is in force. Qualifications have renewal periods: verify that they have not expired.
- Update registration in the organic production register if there has been any change in activity or certification.
- Confirm active membership in the associations declared in the subsidy application. If there have been withdrawals or changes, communicate them to the management firm or administration.
- Review with the agricultural advisor or management firm that all data declared in the insurance subsidy application matches what appears in the regional registers, before the annual data exchange takes place.
- Keep supporting documentation of each subsidized condition (certificates, registrations, memberships in associations) to be able to prove compliance in case of request.
Frequently asked questions
When is data exchanged between ENESA and Castilla and León?
The agreement establishes that data exchange will take place before September 30 of each year, on an annual basis. However, the agreement allows both parties to agree on more frequent exchanges if they deem it necessary.
What specific data does Castilla and León provide to ENESA?
The Castilla and León Regional Government provides ENESA with information about four groups: young farmers, holders of priority farms, organic producers and members of various agricultural associations. This information is used to verify that subsidy beneficiaries meet the declared requirements.
What data does ENESA provide to the Castilla and León Regional Government?
ENESA provides the autonomous community with lists of tax identification numbers (NIF) of agricultural insurance subsidy beneficiaries and the results of its subsidy eligibility controls. This allows the Regional Government to know which farmers and livestock breeders in its territory are receiving state subsidies and whether they have passed the controls.
Does this agreement have an economic cost for farmers?
The agreement does not generate economic obligations between ENESA and the Castilla and León Regional Government. However, the indirect economic impact for beneficiaries can be significant: if the data cross-check detects that declared requirements are not met, it can result in the loss or reimbursement of the agricultural insurance subsidy.
What is the parity monitoring committee and what does it do?
The agreement creates a parity monitoring committee, made up of representatives from ENESA and the Castilla and León Regional Government in equal numbers. Its function is to resolve discrepancies that may arise between the two parties in the application of the agreement, ensuring the proper functioning of the data exchange.
