The Board executes a ruling that mandates the modification of parcels in the SIGPAC

The General Directorate of Community Agricultural Policy of the Regional Government of Extremadura has ordered the execution of final judgment no. 442/2026, dated July 13, issued by the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Extremadura, which upholds the appeal of Canto Vichés Titularidad Compartida against the denial of enclosure changes due to lack of registration in the REGA. The resolution is published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura number 176, dated September 11, 2026, with reference 2026062301.

The litigation dates back to the Resolution of October 13, 2023, from the Director General of Community Agricultural Policy, which dismissed the requested changes to enclosures 10/8/0/0/16/20/1 and 10/8/0/0/16/21/1, citing the absence of registration of the plots in the REGA as the cause. An administrative appeal was filed against it, which was dismissed by Resolution of September 25, 2025, leading to the contentious-administrative appeal processed as ordinary procedure no. 613/2025.

Regulatory framework of the execution

The execution is based on Article 40.1 of Decree 1/2022, of January 12, which approves the Regulation on the organization and functioning of the General Advocacy of the Regional Government of Extremadura, which assigns the material execution of final judgments to the body competent by reason of the subject matter. The framework is completed by Decree 59/1991, of July 23, which regulates the administrative processing in the execution of judicial resolutions, whose Article 9.1 obliges the head of the body to issue the compliance resolution and whose Article 9.3 considers the insertion in the official bulletin with the data of the plaintiff and defendant, the case number, and the content of the ruling to be sufficient.

The ruling and its effects

The operative part of the judgment upholds the appeal filed by the Court Procurator Ms. Ärias Aguirrezabala, representing Canto Vichés Titularidad Compartida, against the resolution of the Ministry of Environment and Rural Affairs, Agricultural Policy and Territory, rendering it null and void and declaring the right to the intended modification in the SIGPAC. Furthermore, the defendant is ordered to pay the incurred legal costs.

• Executing body: General Directorate of Community Agricultural Policy.
• Judgment: no. 442/2026, of July 13, 2026, final.
• Procedure: ordinary no. 613/2025.
• Affected enclosures: 10/8/0/0/16/20/1 and 10/8/0/0/16/21/1.
• Signature: Mérida, August 31, 2026, by the Director General Miguel Gutiérrez Creus.

Relevance for the agricultural sector

The resolution corrects an administrative criterion that conditioned the modification of enclosures in the SIGPAC on the prior registration of the plots in the REGA, and sets a precedent for farm holders in similar situations. As it is a final judgment with an award of costs, the Junta de Extremadura is obliged to give full effect to the ruling, which reinforces the legal certainty of farmers and livestock breeders in the management of their enclosures and in access to common agricultural policy aid.
