European agriculture legislative framework The role of the CAP Current main objectives: • Multifunctionality of agriculture • Rural development • Reduction in the financial resources destined for the CAP through 2013.
European agriculture legislative framework The role of the CAP The single farm payment independent of production level (decoupling): the main instrument to make farmers more competitive and market-oriented
European agriculture legislative framework The role of the CAP Support payments linked to: • The respect of environmental and food safety, • Animal and plant health and animal welfare standards, • The requirement to maintain farmland in good agricultural and environmental condition.
European agriculture legislative framework The role of the CAP May 20th 2008 Some new adjustments have been proposed. • Abolishing set-aside rules • Phasing out milk quotas by 1% per year • Simplifying the link between subsidies and environmental, animal welfare and food quality standards • More flexible support for sectors with special problems • Moving some direct aid into rural development • Ending market intervention in certain areas
European agriculture legislative framework Local support policies • Spain : program aimed at the renewal of the agricultural fleet for the period 2006-2008. • Italy: agricultural machinery “scrapping” adopted in 1998/1999 and 2001/2002. • Germany: variable regional programs • Eastern Europe countries rely mainly on EU support
