Date of implementation: From 1 January 2011

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: Until December 2015

Objective of aid: The aid is intended to improve the competitiveness of livestock production by means of livestock-breeding measures used in livestock production. In particular, cost-efficient breeding programmes will support the maintenance and improvement of the genetic quality of the livestock. The aid will also be used to record and evaluate data in order to maintain and improve the genetic quality of farm animals as part of breeding programmes. To this end, the service provider carries out tests and collects and evaluates data. For this, the service provider receives a market-rate payment comprising the aid and the portion of the costs to be borne by the farmer. The costs of routine checks on milk quality are not eligible for support.

The measures are based on Article 15 (provision of technical support/participation in exhibitions and fairs) and Article 16 (support for the livestock sector).

Dynamic interaction between the members of the expertise group is the driver of optimum knowledge development, and will lead to innovation and improved organic farming techniques.

These organic business networks will be further supported in 2011 and a multi-year perspective laid out regarding their progress and autonomy.

Specific objectives are:

continuing meetings between network groups,

involving researchers/educators in the business networks,

communicating methodology,

determining new sectors (stone-fruit, meat and poultry production).

Article 15(2)(f): aid for publications such as catalogues or websites presenting factual information about producers from a given region or producers of a given product, provided the information and presentation is neutral and that all producers concerned have equal opportunities to be represented in the publication. Aid will be granted only for activities and information material in which no reference is made to the origin of the product.

The project does not provide for aid for advertising purposes.

All the paragraphs of Article 15 will be complied with.
