En drastisk nedsættelse af støttepriserne i retning af verdensmarkedspriserne skal sikre væksten på de interne markeder og forbedre europæisk landbrugs muligheder for at deltage i udviklingen på verdensmarkedet.
Drastic cuts in support prices, bringing them closer into line with price levels on the world market, are designed to secure growth within the internal markets and boost European agriculture's share in the growth of the world market.
Sammenlignet med forslagene fra juli vil landbrugets indkomsttab i ringere omfang og kun delvis blive kompenseret med direkte støtte.
Compared with the July 1997 proposals, compensation for the resultant loss of farm incomes is to be narrower in scope and will only partly take the form of direct support.
Kommissionen ønsker med sine forslag også at tage de udfordringer op, som følger med østudvidelsen.
The Commission proposals also seek to meet the challenges of eastward enlargement.
1.2 Den hidtidige støtte til landbmgsstrukturforanstaltainger (mål 5a) og til landdistrikter (mål 5b) indstilles i sin specifikke form og integreres i et nyt mål 2, som også kommer til at omfatte industriområder i tilbagegang og vanskeligt stillede byområder.
1.2 Support for agricultural structural measures (Objective 5 (a)) and rural areas (Objective 5 (b)), previously separate, is to be brought together with that for declining industrial regions and problem urban areas under a new Objective 2.
Desuden foreslås en horisontal støtteforanstaltning til udvikling af landdistrikter, som vil henhøre under EUGFL - Garantisektionen.
There is also a proposal for horizontal support for rural development from the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
1.3 Regionsudvalget tager stilling til nedenstående forordningsforslag vedrørende landbrugssektoren:
1.3 The Committee of the Regions' comments relate to the following proposals for agricultural regulations:
Ændring af forordning (EØF) nr. 1766/92 om den fælles markedsordning for korn og ophævelse af forordning (EØF) nr. 2731/75 om fastsættelse af standardkvaliteter for blød hvede, rug, byg, majs og hård hvede.
- financing of the common agricultural policy; - amendment of Regulation (EEC) No. 1766/92 on the common organization of the market in cereals and repealing Regulation (EEC) No. 2731/75 fixing standard qualities for common wheat, rye, barley, maize and durum wheat; - establishment of a support system for producers of certain arable crops; - common organization of the market in beef and veal; - common organization of the market in milk and milk products; - amendment of Regulation (EEC) No. 3950/92 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector; - establishment of common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy; - support for rural development from the European Agriculture Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF); - general provisions on the Structural Funds;
Den fælles markedsordning for oksekød.
OJ No C 129,2 May 1996, page 15
Forordning om den fælles markedsordning for vin (hører ikke til Agenda 2000, men behandles i denne sammenhæng).
- Regulation on the common organization of the market in wine which, although not part of Agenda 2000, is dealt with in this context; - Regulation on Community support for pre-accession measures for agricultural and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period.
2.1 Landbrugsprodukterne i EU fremstilles under overholdelse af høje økologiske normer.
2.1 EU farm production meets high ecological standards.
Der må tages hensyn til de dermed forbundne omkostninger, hvis de høje normer og et højt dyrebeskyttelsesniveau skal kunne opretholdes.
In the interests of maintaining high standards and a high level of animal welfare, account must be taken of the costs this involves.
2.2 De kommende WTO-forhandlinger, østudvidelsen og omlægningen af EU's finansiering gør en reform af den fælles landbrugspolitik uomgængelig.
2.2 Reform of the common agricultural policy is absolutely essential in view of the forthcoming WTO negotiations, eastward enlargement and the reorganization of European Union financing.
Den skal medvirke til at udvikle landdistrikterne, forbedre det europæiske landbrugs globale konkurrenceevne, sikre en miljøvenlig og ressourcebesparende landbrugsproduktion, garantere et højt niveau for fødevaresikkerhed og -kvalitet, opretholde landdistrikternes funktionsdygtighed og øge landbrugenes økonomiske rentabilitet.
The reform must help to improve rural development and the global competitiveness of European farming, make for environmentally sound, non-resource-intensive farming, ensure high standards of food safety and food quality, maintain the viability of rural areas and help to make farms viable.
- en tilstrækkelig beskyttelse udadtil, - hensyntagen til alle særtræk ved det europæiske landbrug, - prisnedsættelser kun, for så vidt markedet absolut kræver det, - bedre udnyttelse af mængderegulerende foranstaltninger, - fuld kompensation ved prisnedsættelser i form af direkte støtte, - et ubureaukratisk system og - fremme af faglig uddannelse og videreuddannelse.
- adequate external protection, - allowance for the diversities of European agriculture, - price cuts only in so far as absolutely required by the market, - more effective use of quantity-control measures, - full compensation for price cuts, via direct support, - a system unencumbered by red tape, and - promotion of vocational training.
Generelt er det nødvendigt med en nøje overholdelse af subsidiaritetsprincippet indtil det regionale niveau i forbindelse med udformning og gennemførelse af de forskellige politikker, under iagttagelse af den kompetencefordeling, som der opereres med i de enkelte medlemsstater.
In general terms, the principle of subsidiarity down to regional level must be strictly applied in the framing and implementation of the various policies, in full compliance with the distribution of powers laid down by the legal system of each Member State.
Vurdering af Kommissionens forslag om ændring af markedsordningerne
Appraisal of the Commission proposals to amend the market organizations
3.1.1 I lyset af den nuværende markedssituation og de gældende WTO-regler finder Regionsudvalget det ikke nødvendigt at nedsætte interventionsprisen for korn med 20%.
3.1.1 The Committee of the Regions feels that, given the current market situation and WTO rules, it is not necessary to cut the cereals intervention price by 20%.
3.1.2 Endvidere mener Regionsudvalget, at nedsættelsen af interventionsprisen vil slå direkte igennem på producentpriserne, især for foderkorn.
3.1.2 The Committee also takes the view that cutting intervention prices has a direct impact on producer prices, particularly for feed grain.
Kommissionens forslag om at sætte basisbrakprocenten til 0 tyder også herpå.
This is also indicated by the Commission's plan to fix the reference quota for compulsory set-aside at 0%.
Producenterne bør derfor have fuld kompensation for
For this reason, producers should receive full compensation for the cut in intervention prices.
3-1-3 Ensilagemajs-støtten virker som en udligningsgodtgørelse i sektorerne for mælk og oksekød.
3.1.3 Silage maize support acts as compensation in the milk and beef/veal sectors.
Der må imidlertid også findes løsninger, som kan gøre grønfoder og græsarealer uden omdrift konkurrencedygtig over for ensilagemajs i regioner, hvor majs ikke kan dyrkes af klimatiske grunde.
However, solutions must also be found to safeguard the competitiveness of green forage and permanent pasture as opposed to silage maize, in regions in which maize cannot be grown for climatic reasons.
Det er derfor vigtigt at opretholde den særlige støtte til disse produkter, således at der stadig kan ske en diversificeret udvikling i EU's regioner.
Specific aid should therefore be worked out for these products so as to preserve the development of the diversified regions of the European Union.
3.1.4 Den drastiske nedsættelse af arealstøtten til oliefrø medfører en tilsvarende forringelse af denne sektors konkurrenceevne.
3.1.4 The drastic cut in area support for oilseeds would harm the competitiveness of oilseed cultivation.
Det er nødvendigt at opretholde den særlige støtteordning for oliefrø.
It is increasingly necessary to establish the type of differentiated aid for oil seeds which now exists.
Udskydelsen af støttebetalingen vil sandsynligvis give landbrugsbedrifterne rentetab og likviditetsproblemer.
Farms are expected to face loss of interest and cash-flow problems as a result of the deferment of the time limit for payment of compensation.
Med en braklægningsprocent på 0 vil den mest effektive mængdestyringsmetode blive afskaffet.
Fixing the normal set-aside rate at zero removes the most efficient form of quantity control.
Fastsættelsen af en frivillig braklægningssats på 10% fører til unødvendige indskrænkninger.
Fixing the voluntary minimum set-aside rate at 10% is too restrictive. The Committee of the Regions therefore opposes such deferment.
3.1.5 Der mangler målrettede foranstaltninger til at fremme anvendelsen af fornyelige råstoffer til industri- eller energiformål (f.eks. varmeværker, omstilling til biodiesel osv.).
3.1.5 There are no targeted measures to promote renewable raw materials for use industrially or in energy recovery (e.g. heating plants, conversion to biodiesel etc.).
En sådan politik bør indføres via et særligt kapitel i EUGFL-forordningen.
Such a policy should be introduced, inter alia via a specific section in the EAGGF regulation.
3.1.6 Regionsudvalget kræver, at de regionale basisarealer medtages i den nye forordning om den fælles markedsordning for markafgrøder.
3.1.6 The Committee of the Regions calls for the basic regional sub-areas to be retained in the new regulation on the common organization of the market in arable crops.
3.2.1 Forslagene vedrørende oksekødsektoren vil skærpe konkurrenceforvridningerne yderligere og ramme de traditionelle intensive opdrætsmetoder.
3.2.1 The proposals in the beef sector heighten already existing distortions in competition to the detriment of traditional intensive fattening procedures.
3.2.2 Omlægningen fra permanent intervention til frivillig intervention og privat oplagring er et skridt i den rigtige retning. Der ydes dog langt fra tilstrækkelig kompensation for den planlagte prissænkning.
3.2.2 The switch from permanent intervention to optional intervention and a privatestorage aid scheme is a step in the right direction, but compensation for the planned price cuts is wholly inadequate.
Forslaget om også at yde direkte støtte til kvier er ikke nogen yderligere forbedring, fordi midlerne hentes inden for de fastsatte lofter på bekostning af støtten til andre dyrekategorier.
Even the extension of direct support to heifers and older cows brings no added improvement, since the fixed-ceiling resources are used at the expense of the other animal groups.
3.2.3 Videreførelsen af de hidtidige, indviklede ordninger, suppleret med indførelsen af nye, komplekse foranstaltninger vil kraftigt øge producenternes og de nationale myndigheders forvaltnings- og kontrolopgaver.
3.2.3 The retention of the old, complicated rules, supplemented by the introduction of new, complex measures, means much more administration and supervision for cattle farmers and national authorities.
90-dyrsloftet vil hæmme udviklingen af konkurrencedygtige bedrifter.
The ninety-animal limit hampers the emergence of competitive farms.
3.2.5 Øget tilskyndelse til ekstensivering i oksekødsektoren understreger produktionens miljøaspekter, hvilket Regionsudvalget anser for særlig rosværdigt.
3.2.5 The improvement in the incentives to extensify beef production highlights the environmental aspects of production, which the Committee of the Regions feels is particularly laudable. However, in this context, the Committee would also point to the major differences in production areas across the EU.
Regionsudvalget skal dog også i denne sammenhæng gøre opmærksom på de store forskelle, der er mellem produktionsområderne i
The permanent-pasture arrangement, for example, is not suitable for all Member States since, in some areas, climatic conditions mean that grassland is part of the normal
3.2.6 Uafhængigt heraf må EU-støtten dog også tage højde for de forskellige former for oksekødsproduktion, der findes i de enkelte regioner.
3.2.6 Apart from this, however, EU support must also reflect regional differences in beef production.
Også i regioner med specialiserede kvægbrug må landmændene fortsat have passende indkomstmuligheder.
Farmers must retain adequate sources of income, including in regions in which specialized cattle-fattening techniques are in operation.
Desuden må det sikres, at den støtte, der går til de enkelte medlemsstater, svarer til produktionsandelen, og at der ikke opstår konkurrenceforvridninger mellem de forskelligt orienterede produktionsregioner.
To do this, it must be ensured that the support resources granted to individual Member States match their share of production and that no competitive distortions emerge between production regions which are geared along different lines.
I de fleste regioner med traditionel kvægopdræt er belægningsgraden betydeligt lavere end EU-lovgivningens grænseværdier, hvilket betyder, at også denne opdrætsform må anses for at være forenelig med EU's miljøpolitiske mål.
In most areas using traditional cattle-fattening techniques, regional animal density is markedly lower than the limits set under EU law; in consequence, these techniques are also deemed compatible with the Community's environment policy objectives.
3.3.1 Kommissionen antager, at nedsættelsen af interventionspriserne for mælk og mejeriprodukter vil øge forbruget af disse produkter og forbedre EU's konkurrenceevne.
3.3.1 The Commission assumes that cutting intervention prices for milk products will raise consumption and boost the Union's competitiveness.
Regionsudvalget forventer dog ingen forbrugsstigning i EU, da ændringer i priserne på basisprodukter kun virker ganske svagt ind på forbruget. Endvidere risikerer kvoteforøgelsen på 2% med det deraf følgende pristryk at underminere kvoteordningen.
The Committee of the Regions, however, does not believe that EU consumption will rise, since price changes in basic products have very little impact on consumption.
3.3.2 Regionsudvalget mener, at mælkekvoteordningen har fungeret godt.
3.3.2 The Committee of the Regions believes that the arrangements covering milk products have proved their worth.
Prisnedsættelser bør kun finde sted, hvis de fremtvinges af markedet. Der skal ydes fuld kompensation herfor.
Price cuts should, therefore, be introduced only when absolutely required by the market, and must be fully compensated for.
3.3.3 Den foreslåede mekanisme, hvor udligningsgodtgørelserne består af fire dele (basispræmie for mælk, basispræmie for oksekød, supplerende fakultativ præmie for mælk og kød) er yderst kompliceret og ikke hensigtsmæssig, fordi den forfordeler nogle kvægracer og medfører yderligere bureaukrati.
3.3.3 The proposed arrangements involve four compensation payment components (basic premium for milk, basic premium for beef, optional supplementary premium for milk and meat compensation). This makes them not only extremely complicated, but also inappropriate since they discriminate against individual breeds of cattle and entail further red tape.
Regionsudvalget mener, at der må findes frem til løsninger, der sikrer en afbalanceret støtte i alle områder.
The COR feels that solutions must be found which ensure balanced support in all areas.
3.3.4 De forslag, Kommissionen fremlægger som led i kvoteordningens forlængelse for at støtte producenterne, er utilstrækkelige.
3.3.4 The Commission proposals in connection with the extension of the milk quota scheme - which are designed to strengthen farm operators - are inadequate.
3.3.5 Det er nødvendigt, at kvoterne tildeles aktive mælkeproducenter i begyndelsen af den nye periode, at arealbindingskravene ophæves, og at producenter, der indstiller deres mælkeproduktion efter år 2000, forpligtes til at afgive deres kvoter.
3.3.5 The quota must be allocated to active producers at the start of the extension period; the mandatory link between quotas and land must be abolished and it must be ensured that producers ceasing milk production after 2000 are obliged to give up their quota.
I øvrigt bør der tages hensyn til bjergregionernes særlige forhold.
In addition, the specific nature of upland regions must be taken into account.
Med dette mål for øje bør der for hver medlemsstat kunne afsættes et vist antal mælkekvoter til unge landmamd, der slår sig ned i bjergområder
To this end, each Member State should ensure the maintenance of quotas in upland areas, not least so that young farmers are able to continue working the land.
3.3.6 Regionsudvalget bifalder Kommissionens forslag om at forlænge kvoteordningen til 2006, da mælkeproduktionen ellers ville bryde sammen mange steder i EU.
3.3.6 The COR welcomes the Commission proposal to press ahead with the quota arrangement until 2006 since, otherwise, milk production would collapse in large tracts of Europe.
3-4.1 Regionsudvalget godkender Kommissionens forslag om at udbetale en del af støtten fra den nationale pulje enten som betaling pr. dyr eller arealbetaling.
3.4.1 The Committee of the Regions endorses the Commission proposal to pay part of the assistance under the national ceilings arrangement either as animal- or land-related support.
Dette vil gøre den fælles landbrugspolitik mere fleksibel.
This would boost CAP flexibility.
Puljerne må så vidt muligt være afstemt efter de nuværende produktionskvoter.
The ceilings must, as far as possible, be geared to current production quotas.
34.2 Uanset de nationale puljer må producenterne kompenseres fuldt ud for deres indkomsttab.
3.4.2 Notwithstanding national ceilings, full compensation must be paid for loss of producer income.
Kommissionen må dog være opmærksom på, at støtten fra de nationale puljer ikke forvrider konkurrencen.
That said, the Commission must ensure that the support paid out via the national ceilings arrangement does not distort competition.
3.4.3 Der må,ikke forekomme konkurrenceforvridende diskriminering inden for de traditionelle produktionsmetoder i de enkelte regioner.
3.4.3 Production practices traditional in individual regions must not be placed at a disadvantage through distortions in competition.
Dette gælder eksempelvis for udligningsgodtgørelsen for dobbelt-formålsracer inden for markedsordningen for mælk, men også for de forskellige former for kvægopdræt.
This applies, for example, to compensatory payments for dual-purpose breeds of cattle in the organization of the market in milk and to the various cattle-fattening production techniques.
Direkte støtte inden for den fælles landbrugspolitik
Direct support under the common agricultural policy
3.5.1 En vurdering af konsekvenserne for de enkelte regioners specifikke forhold kræver, at Kommissionen giver en mere detaljeret redegørelse for, hvorledes de forskellige kompensationsordninger er udformet.
3.5.1 In order to be able to assess the impact on matters of specific interest to the individual regions, the Commission must clarify compensation arrangements in even greater detail.
Forslagene til gennemførelsesbestemmelser må foreligge, før Rådet tager stilling til spørgsmålet.
The rules on implementation must be submitted before any decision is taken by the Council.
3.5.2 Støtten til landmændene skal mindske de tilpasningsproblemer, som især de mindre gunstigt stillede områder slås med. Og samtidig må den ikke virke negativt ind på allerede konkurrencedygtige bedrifters udvikling.
3.5.2 The support to be paid to farmers is designed to mitigate the adjustment problems faced in particular by less competitive areas. At the same time, however, this support should not have a detrimental impact on the development of farms which are already competitive.
3.5.3 De ændringer af den fælles landbrugspolitik, Kommissionen foreslår, kan efter Regionsudvalgets mening rejse etiske problemer især i oksekødsektoren.
3.5.3 The Committee of the Regions feels that the changes to the common agricultural policy put forward by the Commission may throw up ethical problems, especially in the beef/veal sector.
Den foreslåede nedsættelse af kornpriserne vil stille korn bedre i konkurrencen end grønfoder og dermed også føre til øget anvendelse af korn inden for kvægopdræt.
The proposed cut in cereal prices would give cereals the competitive edge over green forage, leading to their increasing use in cattle farming.
Efter Regionsudvalgets mening bør støtteordningerne under den fælles landbrugspolitik udformes på en sådan måde, at der kan drives rentable kvægbrug i forskellige regioner med anvendelse af den type foder, som er naturlig for de pågældende dyr.
In the Committee's view, CAP support schemes should be framed in such a way that it is also possible to farm cattle profitably in various different regions and using natural animal feeding methods.
3.5.4 Forslagene om at udforme den direkte støtte degressivt er i princippet fornuftigt, men i den foreliggende form uacceptable, da de har regional slagside.
3.5.4 The proposals to taper direct payments are appropriate in principle, but unacceptable in their present form because they have a one-sided effect at regional level.
Støtten må sikres opretholdt i sine grundbestanddele.
In particular, ceilings and tapering
3.5.6 Differentieringen af den direkte støtte skal forvaltes så enkelt som muligt, uden at der sendes et forkert signal til de bedrifter, som må rationalisere for at forbedre deres konkurrenceevne.
3.5.6 Direct support modulation will have to be introduced with a minimum of red tape, and without sending out a false signal to farms which must rationalize their activities in order to become more competitive.
Beskæftigelseskriteriet skal anvendes på en sådan måde, at det bidrager til beskæftigelsen i landdistrikterne.
The "employment" criterion must be brought to bear if labour markets in rural areas are to benefit.
3.6.1 Vinmarkedet har ændret sig så kraftigt siden 1987, at det haster med at få tilpasset markedsordningen for vin.
3.6.1 The market in wine has changed so much since 1987 that adjustment of the market organization in this area is essential.
Markedsligevægten må sikres gennem interventioner (særlig destillation for konsumalkohol, markedsføring af druesaft og andre vinprodukter, krisedestillation i tilfælde af usædvanlige markedsforstyrrelser og opretholdelse af støtte til privat oplagring, destillation af biprodukter og af vin af druesorter til andre formål end presning).
Market balance is to be secured by intervention (special distillation of spirits for human consumption, promotion of trade in grape juice and other wine products, emergency distillation in the case of market disturbances of an exceptional nature and the retention of privatestorage aid, distillation of wine-making by-products and wine distillation using non-wine varieties of grape).
Regionsudvalget understreger, at det er absolut nødvendigt at skabe balance mellem udbud og efterspørgsel på europæisk plan ved at skabe balance på de regionale markeder.
The Committee of the Regions affirms that the objective of a balance between supply and demand in Europe is still essential and must be achieved by adding together the market balances in each region - which can be done by involving the trade.
I dette øjemed må de berørte personer i sektoren inddrages, ligesom der må udarbejdes regionale tilpasningsprogrammer, som fastlægger realistiske økonomiske målsætninger og strukturforanstaltoinger i overensstemmelse med den fælles markedsordning (nybeplantning, omlægning, modernisering, osv.)
Introducing regional restructuring programmes setting out realistic economic objectives and structural measures (new plantings, adaptation, renewal, etc.) will contribute to this regional balance.
Kommissionens forslag bør ændres på følgende punkter:
The Commission proposal should be modified on certain points:
3.6.3 Skærpelsen af hektarudbytteordningen, som allerede omfatter detaljerede begrænsninger og obligatorisk destillation, afvises på det kraftigste.
3.6.3 The Committee categorically rejects the more stringent yield-per-hectare arrangements, which contain detailed restrictions and distillation obligations.
