| [13/04/2005] Proposal of a Council Regulation on Support for Rural Development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) |
|---|
| | The EAFRD regulation will regulate the EU-funded development of Rural Areas in the period of 2007 - 2013. The new draft of this regulation outlines the following improvements regarding measures on conservation and sustainable utilisation of genetic resources:
- Following the current regulation 1257/1999, the conservation of genetic resources will officially become part of the funding mechanism.
- This is determined by the inclusion of a new paragraph 5 into article 37 of the new draft having the following wording:
"Support may be provided for the conservation of genetic resources in agriculture for operations not covered under paragraphs 1 to 4"
- The next consultation steps towards an adoption of the EAFRD regulation will be:
- 18 April 2005: Standing Committee on Agriculture. Continued negotiations on different high priority issues.
- 26 April 2005: Agriculture Council.
- Until end of June 2005: Conclusion of legislative procedures under Luxembourg's Presidency. Pre-requisite is an agreement on the next EU financial perspective 2007-2013.
