“One year of EU 25 – Nature Conservation policy experience regarding the 2nd pillar of the CAP and reform prospects”
Financial Perspective 2007 – 2013
Commission's proposal: disappointing, continuation of the present distribution of payments (status quo), although new challenges for RD were added (NATURA 2000, EU27)
Net payers: a rollback, give-up of promises concerning RD (made by Com. Fischler)
Juncker's proposal: is only softening the net payers proposal
German NGO-Coalition: Co-funding of pillar 1, real socially and ecologically qualification of pillar payments, doubling of RD Funds up to 25bn €
“One year of EU 25 – Nature Conservation policy experience regarding the 2nd pillar of the CAP and reform prospects”
Situation September 2005
PM Blair opened a discussion about a new distribution of agriculture spending
The discussion has to be used:- to question the spending in the pillar 1 - to strengthen the position of rural development
in the EU (employment, Natura 2000, sustainable agriculture, WTO)
- Secure increasing of funds for RD
