What Polexit? Residents of rural are praising the membership in the EU
What definition is the ministry proposing?
Instead of the current solutions the ministry proposes establishing a catalog of farmers, whose activities allow automatic recognition of their as farmers active professionally, for example. farmers:
- having animals registered in IRZ (approx. 361 thousands). To resolve remains, what level of management to take on 1 ha?
- receiving payments related to production to plant (approx. 338 tys.), receiving payments from title of selected ecoschemes: Carbon agriculture and management of nutrients, Integrated Production plants, Biological protection crops (approx. 392 tys.) and Payments Ecological (approx. 21 tys.). It is estimated that there are such beneficiaries about 570 tys.
- for other farmers (i.e. about 660 tys.) verification of agricultural activity would be based on minimum costs incurred for agricultural activity or revenue from agricultural activity.
In order to implement this approach it is proposed to consider the following criteria:
- costs incurred for agricultural activities – for this purpose should be established:
a) catalogue of recognized costs, nations: fertilizers, measures for protection of plants, material seeding and propagation, rent rents, costs of services, labor leased, insurance, costs specialized (defoliants, regulators growth etc.);
b) period, in which costs should be incurred, in order to be recognized, e.g. the year before submission of application;
c) minimum cost level, e.g.. per ha UR, so that it avoids creating fictitious situations (minimum factor for very large areas).
To resolve that, how to determine minimum cost?
– above the rate PWD 112.93 EUR/ha (483 £/ha)? – verify the criteria for production;
– should be higher than for production? from the cost of mowing, that is, about. 200-300 – verify the criterion of maintaining land in a condition suitable for grazing or cultivation;
– should be uniform in the whole country?
– according to minimum level costs, for example, on based FADN?: in plant agriculture – 137 £/ha, in animal agriculture – 457 £/LU
.
- revenues from agricultural activities – for this purpose should establish:
a) catalog recognized revenues, e.g.: sales of agricultural food (crop and animal production);
b) period, in which revenues should be obtained, in order to be recognized, e.g., year . the year before submission of application;
c) minimum level of income, e.g.. per ha UR, so as to avoid creating fictitious situations (minimum fact for very large areal).
To resolve the question, what should be the minimum level?
- other situations. What other prospects for documentation of
agricultural activities? E.g. contracted contracts, contracts supply itp.
With regard to the EU obligations in the WTO definition of active farmers
cannot result in narrowing support only to farmers who produce. Sufficient is maintaining agricultural land in good culture, which should beconsidered,whendesigninga newdefinition.
