Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: EUR 0,1 million for the provision of technical support in the agricultural sector (switching to multiple application online) in accordance with Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006

Maximum aid intensity: Up to 100 %

Date of implementation: In 2011, but at the earliest from when the aid has been approved/exempted by the European Commission

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: 1 January to 31 December 2011

Objective of aid: Using modern information technologies makes it easier for farmers to manage their aid applications and is a prerequisite for effective administrative enforcement. In 2011 nine Offices for Food, Agriculture and Forestry will therefore take part in a pilot project with the aim of submitting applications exclusively via MFA-Online. In the pilot project as high a proportion of applications as possible should be submitted electronically, so as to gain experience and know-how for universal coverage in the future. But many farmers are not yet familiar with MFA-Online because they have not yet used or do not yet know the system. Service providers should help farmers to apply online. The service providers’ costs and services should at least in part be reimbursed.

Sector(s) concerned: Agricultural enterprises

Name and address of the granting authority: Nine Bavarian Offices for Food, Agriculture and Forestry
