Description of the current situation of the fruit and vegetable sector using quantified data, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, disparities, needs and gaps and potential for development on the basis of the relevant common baseline indicators set out in point 5 of Annex II and of other additional indicators, if applicable. This description shall concern at least:
the performances of the fruit and vegetables sector: strengths and weaknesses of the sector, competitiveness and the potential for development of the producer organisations;
the environmental effects (impacts, pressures and benefits) of the fruit and vegetables production, including key trends.
Description of the key areas where intervention is expected to bring the maximum value added:
relevance of the objectives set for the operational programmes, of the expected results and the extent to which they can be realistically achieved;
internal coherence of the strategy, existence of mutually reinforcing interactions and possible conflicts or contradictions between the operational objectives of different actions selected;
complementarity and consistency of the actions selected with other national or regional actions, and with activities supported through Union funds, in particular with the rural development and promotion programmes;
expected results and impact compared to the baseline situation and their contribution to Union objectives.
Description of results and impact of operational programmes implemented in the recent past.
Description of the types of actions selected as eligible for support (non-exhaustive list), the objectives pursued, the verifiable targets and the indicators that allow the progress towards achievement of the objectives, efficiency and effectiveness to be assessed.
Member States shall ensure that all the actions included in the national strategy and in the national framework are verifiable and controllable. Where the assessment during the implementation of the operational programmes reveals that the requirements of verifiability and controllability are not met, the actions concerned shall be adjusted accordingly or deleted.
Where support is granted on the basis of standard flat rates or scales of unit costs, Member States shall ensure that the relevant calculations are adequate and accurate and established in advance on the basis of a fair, equitable and verifiable calculation. Environmental actions shall comply with the requirements set out in Article 33(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
Member States shall adopt safeguards, provisions and checks for ensuring that actions selected as eligible for support are not also supported by other relevant instruments of the common agricultural policy, in particular by rural development and promotion programmes or other national or regional schemes.
Effective safeguards in place pursuant to Article 33(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, to protect the environment from possible increased pressures coming from investments supported under operational programmes, and eligibility criteria adopted pursuant to Article 36(1) of that Regulation, for ensuring that investments on individual holdings supported under operational programmes respect the objectives set out in Article 191 TFEU and in the seventh Union environment action programme.

Designation by the Member State of the national authority responsible for the management, monitoring and evaluation of the national strategy.
The performance indicators set out by the national strategy shall comprise the common performance indicators provided for in Article 4 and listed in Annex II. Where deemed appropriate, the national strategy shall specify additional indicators reflecting national or regional needs, conditions and objectives specific to the national operational programmes.
Description of the monitoring and evaluation requirements and procedures in relation to operational programmes, including the reporting obligations for producer organisations.
Description of the monitoring and evaluation requirements and procedures in relation to the national strategy.
The system of common performance indicators related to actions undertaken by producer organisations, associations of producer organisations and their members under an operational programme does not necessarily capture all the factors that may intervene and affect the outputs, results and impact of an operational programme. In this context, the information provided by common performance indicators should be interpreted in the light of quantitative and qualitative information relating to other key factors contributing to the success or failure of the programme's implementation.
