COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 

Brussels,  23.05.1996 
COM(96)  224  final 

96/0139  (CNS) 

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE 

amending  the  list  of  less-favoured  farming  areas 
within  the  meaning  of  Directive  75/268/EEC  (Ireland) 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

In  accordance  with  Article  2(1) of  Council  Directive  75/268/EEC the  Irish  Government 

has  sent  the  Commission  an  expanded  list  of  townlands  likely  to  be  included  on  the 

Community  list  of  less-favoured  areas,  along  with  information  on  the  features  of  each 

one. 

The  types  of  area  notified  to  the  Commission  satisfy  the  characteristics  of  the  areas 

referred  to  in  Article  3(4)  and  (5)  of  Directive  75/268/EEC,  which  are: 

1. 

Less-favoured  agricultural  areas  characterized  by  low  soil  productivity  and  low 

agricultural  income  (Article  3(4)  ); 

2. 

Less-favoured  areas with  specific  handicaps  (low number  of  agricultural  parcels, 

hills, poor  ground  water balance, coastal  islands, etc.)  where  agricultural  activity 

must  be  maintained  in  order  to preserve  the  countryside  (Article  3(5)  ). 

The following  criteria on land of low productivity  were used to identify  each of the areas 

referred  to  in  Article  3(4): 

1.  Tilled  surface  area  less than  7.8%, and 

2.  Stocking  density  less  than  one  adult bovine  unit  per  hectare  of  forage. 

The  concept  of  economic  return  from  farming  appreciably  below  the  average  has  been 

defined  as: 

3.  A  family  farm  income  per  farm  worker  not  exceeding  80%  of  the  national 

average. 

Low  population  density  has  been  defined  as: 

4.  A  density  not  exceeding  27 inhabitants  per  square  kilometre; 

<> 

5.  The  minimum  percentage  of  the  active population  employed  in  agriculture  is 

30%. 

As  regards  the  criteria  for  identifying  the  areas  referred  to  in  Article  3(5),  natural 

conditions  unfavourable  to  production  (insularity,  excessive  ambient  salinity,  strong 

winds,  low  soil  potential  and  poor  ground  water  balance)  were  chosen,  as  were  the 

handicaps resulting from  the constraints imposed by countryside conservation regulations. 

These  indices  when  applied  increase  the  UAA  in  Ireland  by  2.1%. The  proportion  of 

less-favoured  areas becomes  73% of  the  country's  UAA. 

Areas  with  specific  handicaps  do not  exceed  4% of  the  area  of  Ireland. 

The  Community  contribution  to  compensatory  allowances  will  be  accounted  for  as part 

of  the  overall  amount  laid  down  for  Objectives  5(a)  and  1 of  the  Structural  Funds.

Whereas  the  new  areas  for  inclusion  on  the  list  satisfy  the  criteria  laid  down  in 
Directive  85/350/EEC3 for  determining the areas within the meaning  of Article  3(4) and 
in Directive 91/466/EEC4 for defining  the areas affected  by specific handicaps within the 
meaning  of  Article  3(5)  of  Directive  75/268/EEC; 

Whereas  the total  surface  area of the areas as referred  to  in Article  3(5)  does not  exceed 
4%  of  the  total  surface  area  of the Member  State  in  question; 

Whereas the nature and  level of the above  indices used by the  Government  of Ireland  to 
define  the  areas  notified  to  the  Commission  correspond  to  the  characteristics  of  the

ELEMENTS  OF  COST-EFFECTIVENESS  ANALYSIS 

9.1 

Specific  and  quantified  objectives;  target  population 

Specific  objectives: 

In  accordance  with  Article  8(4), (5)  and  (6)  of  Council  Regulation 
(EEC)  No  2052/88,  the  specific  objectives  are  set  in  each  OP. 
The  specific  objective  of  this  operation  is  to  secure  the  future  of 
farming  through  the  grant  of  aid  that  will  make  it  possible  to 
maintain  a  minimum  level  of  population  needed  to  ensure  the 
environmental  upkeep  of  these  less-favoured  areas. 

Target  population: 

The  whole  of  rural  society  living  in  these  less-favoured  areas  of 
Ireland. 

9.2 

Grounds  for  the  operation 

Need  for  Com m unity  financial  aid 

This  operation  is  included  among  the  Objective  1 priorities  which 
the  Structural  Funds  (principally  the  EAGGF  Guidance  Section) 
must  achieve  if  the  general  objectives  set  out  in  Articles  130a  and 
130c  of  the  Treaty  are  to  be  attained. 

It  has  been  shown  that  the  payment  of  aid  to  top  up  farm  incomes 
is  a  decisive  factor  in  the  strategy  to  combat  the  drift  away  from 
less-favoured  rural  areas  and  their  abandonment. 

Choice  of  ways  and  means 

These  consist  of  OPs  as  provided  for  under  Article  12  of  Council 
Regulation  (EEC)  No  4253/88  which  stipulates  that  "Assistance 
covered  by  a  Community  support  framework  shall  be  provided 
predominantly  in  the  form  of  a  limited  number  of  operational 
programmes".
