Strengthening Capacities in Agricultural and Rural Development Sector for Common Agricultural Policy Implementation Contract related to: Strengthening Capacities in Agricultural and Rural Development Sector for Common Agricultural Policy Implementation - This action is part of Annual Action plan composed by actions in the areas of Environment, Transport, Agriculture plus EU Integration Facility and EU Reform Facility.In light of Montenegro¿s dynamic EU accession process, the Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) sector (also including the areas related to affairs in the Fisheries and Forestry sector), has been challenged by the need for significant changes.

This Action is aimed at preparing Montenegro for EU accession by completing alignment with Chapters 11, 12 and 13, with special emphasis on implementation, including the establishment of the structures and systems necessary for implementing CAP and CFP, while creating a successful food sector in Montenegro, which provides employment and sustainable production of high-quality food for domestic and foreign consumers, supported by an efficient administration in the areas of agriculture and rural development, food safety, veterinary, phytosanitary and fisheries.
