For example, in Baden-Württemberg (Germany), the Marktentlastungs-und Kul-turlandschaftsausgleichsprogramm (MEKA) programme zone covers the entire region. 
Ett exempel r programomrdet fr ÓMarktentlastungs-und KulturlandschaftsausgleichsprogrammÓ (Meka) i den tyska delstaten Baden-Wrttemberg, som bestr av hela delstaten.
But the region varies from the fertile, intensively managed arable fields of the Rhine valley, to the extensive, sub-alpine pasture land of the Black Forest. 
I Baden-Wrttemberg ligger emellertid svl de brdiga, intensivt odlade krarna i Rhendalen som de subalpina, extensivt betade markerna i Schwarzwald.
On poor land the programme is adopted by farmers in order to generate income, while on good land only environmentally committed farmers participate. 
I de mindre brdiga omrdena ansluter jordbrukarna sig till programmet fr att ka sina inkomster, medan det i de brdiga omrdena bara r jordbrukare med ett starkt miljengagemang som deltar.
In consequence, participation in MEKA is more substantial in extensively-farmed areas, and less substantial in the polluted, intensively-farmed areas of the region. 
Detta betyder att deltagande i Meka-programmet r mer utbrett i omrdena med extensivt jordbruk n i delstatens frorenade regioner med intensiv produktion.
The Court identified similar weaknesses in France (concerning the general measure ‘prime à l’herbe’) and Bavaria (see Text box 4). 
Revisionsrtten fann liknande problem i Frankrike (vad gller den allmnna tgrden Óprime  lŐherbeÓ) och Bayern (se textruta 4).
Text box 4 In France with regard to the national ‘prime à l’herbe’ measure, as DG-Environment warned during the programme approval procedure, the premium is too low to preserve poor pasture from abandonment, and in respect of rich pasture it is simply an income aid for farmers. 
Textruta 4 I Frankrike r bidragen Đ vilket generaldirektoratet fr milj ocks framhll innan programmet hade godknts Đ inom den nationella tgrden Óprime  lŐherbeÓ fr lga fr att dliga betesmarker skall kunna skyddas frn nedlggning, medan de inte r annat n en klla till extrainkomster fr jordbrukare med brdigare betesmarker.
In Bavaria (Germany), land quality varies greatly (rental prices range from DEM 206 to DEM 874 per hectare). 
I den tyska delstaten Bayern varierar markkvaliteten avsevrt (arrendena varierar mellan 206 och 874 tyska mark per hektar).
Participation is high in poor areas, but low in rich areas, which are often the most intensively farmed and environmentally problematic. 
Anslutningen till programmet r stor i de fattigare omrdena men liten i de brdiga Đ som ofta har den mest intensiva odlingen och de strsta miljproblemen.
The problem is known to the Commission: ‘Evaluation and research have shown that basing zoning on the administrative region might result in inconsistencies between programmes within one Member State. 
Kommissionen har sagt att utveckling och forskning har visat att en omrdesin-delning som baseras p administrativa regioner kan medfra inkonsekvenser mellan program inom en medlemsstat.
One example is the implementation of the measures of reduction in chemical use in Italian regional programmes... . 
Ett exempel r genomfrandet av tgrderna fr minskad anvndning av kemikalier i italienska regionala program.
Some studies show that the blanket application has reduced the efficiency of measures, with some overpayment in areas where the measures represent less effort on the part of the farmer and underpayment in more profitable areas, with a correspondingly lower take up’ (1). 
Vissa underskningar visar att en generell tillmpning har minskat tgrdernas effektivitet, och medfrt verkompensation i omrden dr tgrderna innebr mindre anstrngning frn jordbrukarens sida och underkompensation i mer lnsamma omrden och drmed en lgre andel personer som utnyttjar tgrden (1).
In Spain, the official calculation to establish aid rates for reimbursement of plantation costs, maintenance costs and agricultural income foregone were performed by an advisory scientific committee. 
I Spanien gjordes den officiella berkningen av stdsatserna fr plantering, bestndsunderhll och inkomstbortfall av en rdgivande vetenskaplig kommitt.
In Portugal, no justification could be found for plantation costs per hectare increasing with farm size. 
I Portugal kunde ingen motivering ges till att planteringskostnaderna per hektar skulle ka med jordbruksfretagens storlek.
The Commission has identified similar problems in Italy and (1) European Commission (DG VI. F. II.1), ‘State of application of Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92; Evaluation of Agri-environment Programmes’, Working Document VI/7655/98, 25.11.1998, pp. 89 and 92.

At regional level, the Court found discrepancies in Extremadura (Spain) between the authorised aid rates and the real costs incurred by farmers, for example one farmer was reimbursed ESP 185 per sapling, although the plants had cost him less than ESP 60 each. 
86 och 89. spanska regionen Extremadura skillnader mellan de godknda stdsatserna och jordbrukarnas verkliga kostnader: exempelvis fick en jordbrukare 185 pesetas per trdplanta han satte, medan plantorna i sjlva verket inte hade kostat honom ens 60 pesetas var.
At the planning stage, programmes should be coordinated with other relevant Community initiatives and vice versa, in order to ensure a comprehensive response to environmental needs and to avoid duplication of effort and waste. 
P planeringsstadiet br programmen samordnas med andra relevanta EU-initiativ, och omvnt, s att man fr en heltckande insats fr att tillgodose miljbehoven och kan undvika att samma arbete utfrs flera gnger och att resurser gr till spillo.
The Structural Funds provide aid for agri-environmental capital investment on farms, and the LIFE and LEADER programmes support local environmental projects in the countryside. 
Genom strukturfonderna ges std till miljrelaterade investeringar i real-kapital inom jordbruket, medan programmen Life och Leader stder lokala miljprojekt p landsbygden.
The Commission has itself observed that ‘case studies demonstrate a lack of coordination between accompanying measures and between those and rural development policies’ (2). 
Kommissionen har sjlv konstaterat att Ófallstudier visar att det finns en bristfllig samordning mellan de kompletterande tgrderna och mellan dessa och politiken fr landsbygdsutvecklingÓ (2).
The Court has identified numerous cases of poor practical coordination. 
Revisionsrtten har funnit mnga fall av bristande konkret samordning.
For example, in Spain AF support is paid for the conversion of agricultural land into forest while reforestation aid is payable from the Structural Funds for planting trees on land which is non-agricultural. 
Ett exempel r att man i Spanien betalar ut std enligt beskogningsfrordningen fr omstllning av jordbruksmark till skog samtidigt som det finns mjlighet att f beskogningsstd frn strukturfonderna fr trdplantering p icke-jordbruksmark.

There is consequently a significant potential overlap between the two Community programmes, creating a risk of double payments.

Den antagna definitionen att det r mark som anvnds fr produktion som ger en jordbrukare inkomster r inte anvndbar eftersom ven den minst brdiga marken (som r berttigad till beskogningsstd frn strukturfonderna) kan anvndas som naturbetesmark ngra dagar varje r. Drfr finns det i praktiken en betydande verlappning mellan de bda gemenskapsprogrammen och fljaktligen ocks risk fr att dubbelt std skall ges.
The same problem exists in Portugal. 
Samma problem finns i Portugal.
There is also a lack of coordination between separate AE programmes within or among Member States. 
Det frekommer ocks bristande samordning mellan de olika enskilda miljprogrammen fr jordbruket, bde inom och mellan medlemsstaterna.
In Bavaria, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Environment each independently operates its own programme: respectively, Kul-turlandschaftsprogramm (KULAP) and Vertragsnaturschutz-programm (VNP). 
I Bayern driver delstatens jordbruksde-partement och miljdepartement var sitt program ÓKultur-landschaftsprogramm (Kulap)Ó respektive ÓVertragsnaturschutz-programm (VNP)Ó.
These address the same problems in the same localities, and are in some instances in competition (e.g. measures to support environmentally friendly vineyard cultivation). 
De bda programmen avser samma problem i samma omrden, och konkurrerar i en del fall med varandra (t.ex. i frga om tgrderna till std fr miljvnlig vinodling).
Following the Court’s audit, the Bavarian authorities, on request of the Commission, have since harmonised procedures to assure coherence between AE measures. 
Efter revisionsrttens granskning har de bayerska myndigheterna p begran av kommissionen harmoniserat frfarandena fr att skerstlla att miljtgrderna inom jordbruket r samstmmiga.
In Italy the catchment area of the River Po has common environmental problems, but each of the administrative regions through which the river flows has developed its own programme. 
I Italien finns det miljproblem som r gemensamma fr Po-flodens hela avrinningsomrde, men var och en av de administrativa regioner som f loden f lyter genom har utvecklat sitt eget program.
Similarly, Luxembourg and Germany both support environment-friendly farming in vineyards on opposing banks of the Moselle; but even though the agri-environmental conditions are similar, the programmes are different. 
P liknande stt ger bde Luxemburg och Tyskland std till miljvnlig vinodling p var sin sida av floden Mosel, men trots att milj-och jordbruksfrhllandena r ungefr desamma r programmen olika.
A similar problem was identified with regard to organic production. 
Ett likartat problem har noterats i frga om ekologisk produktion.
Some Member States only support conversion from conventional to organic methods while others also support post-conversion maintenance of organic methods (see Text box 5). 
Vissa medlemsstater stder enbart omstllning frn konventionella till ekologiska metoder, medan andra ger std ven till underhll efter omstllningen (se textruta 5).
Text box 5 There is inconsistency between Member States in the criteria governing payment of AE aid to encourage organic plant production. 
Textruta 5 Det finns skillnader mellan medlemsstaterna i frga om kriterierna fr std avsett att uppmuntra ekologisk odling inom ramen fr miljprogrammen fr jordbruket.
In France, Greece, Portugal and the United Kingdom, agri-environmental support is paid only for conversion from conventional to organic production. Existing organic producers are not supported in these Member States. 
I Frankrike, Grekland, Portugal och Frenade kungariket utbetalas sdant std endast fr omstllning frn konventionella till ekologiska metoder; befintliga ekologiska producenter fr inget std i dessa medlemsstater.
By contrast, the following Member States support the continuation of organic production, as well as conversion Austria, Finland, Italy and Germany. 
Dremot ger man i sterrike, Finland, Italien och Tyskland utver omstllningsstd ven std till fortsatt ekologisk produktion.
This means that existing organic producers in Greece, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom are disadvantaged compared with farmers in other Member States. 
Detta betyder att befintliga ekologiska producenter i Grekland, Frankrike, Portugal och Frenade kungariket missgynnas i frhllande till sina kolleger i andra medlemsstater.
The above situation may distort internal competition within the Community. 
Detta kan snedvrida konkurrensen inom EU.
Lack of coordination is also found between AE and AF measures. For example, in Bavaria, in the mixed pasture/woodland sub-alpine region, ecologically valuable extensive pasture qualifying for AE aid has been afforested with AF support. Planting trees in such landscapes, to ‘fill in’ gaps in the forest, is detrimental to biodiversity. 
Ett exempel p detta kan hmtas frn Bayern, dr man med std frn beskogningsprogrammet har planterat skog p ekologiskt vrdefull extensiv betesmark i den subalpina regionen, som prglas av en blandning av betesmark och skog. Att plantera trd i sdana biotoper, fr att fylla ut hl i skogen, r skadligt fr den biologiska mngfalden.
Similar practices occur in France, Portugal, Finland and Austria (see Text box 6). 
Liknande problem finns i Frankrike, Portugal, Finland och sterrike (se textruta 6).
Text box 6 In France, the Court’s examination of the local measure for Millevaches in the Limousin found that pastures on the high plateau eligible for AE aid had also been scheduled for afforestation with AF support. 
Textruta 6 Nr revisionsrtten studerade den lokala tgrden fr Millevaches i den franska regionen Limousin visade det sig att man hade planerat att plantera skog med std frn beskogningsprogrammet p betesmarker p hgsltten som dessutom berttigade till std inom miljprogrammet fr jordbruket.
In Portugal, AE measures in the uplands have low rates of participation, because AF support is financially much more attractive. 
I Portugal r det f jordbrukare i inlandet som deltar i miljprogrammet eftersom beskogningsstd r betydligt attraktivare ur ekonomisk synvinkel.
In Finland, there are serious doubts over the environmental desirability of afforesting agricultural land. 
I Finland r man mycket tveksam till det miljmssigt lmpliga i att plantera skog p jordbruksmark.
The Ministry of Environment considers that no agricultural parcel should be afforested; in order to maximise biodiversity, the priority should be to maintain open farmed spaces. 
Miljministeriet anser att ingen jordbruksmark br beskogas, utan att man fr att maximera den biologiska mngfalden i stllet br satsa p att bevara ppen jordbruksmark.
In Austria, the situation is similar: since Austria has a large forest cover, there is no environmental need to afforest farmland. 
I sterrike r situationen likartad: eftersom en s stor del av landet r tckt av skog finns det inget behov frn mil-jsynpunkt av att beskoga jordbruksmark.

In Sweden, the National Audit Office (SNAO) found that ‘the environmental grants for perennial ley farming are in danger of taking second place to the higher arable area payments’ (2). 
I Sverige kom Riksrevisionsverket fram till att Ómiljstdet fr flerrig vallodling riskerar att konkurreras ut av den hgre arealerstt-ningenÓ (2).
Similar problems were identified in Portugal and Spain (see Text box 7). 
Liknande problem har observerats i Tyskland, sterrike, Portugal och Spanien (se textruta 7).
Text box 7 In Portugal, some of the AE measures have to remedy the damaging effects of the CAP: AE aid is given in respect of local fruit trees that would otherwise tend to be replaced by new varieties with higher yields, better rewarded within the fruit and vegetable COM, but with higher use of agrochemicals. AE aid is also given to support extensive livestock production which is endangered by the high livestock premiums provided by the 1992 CAP reform. 
Textruta 7 I Portugal mste vissa av miljprogrammets tgrder uppvga GJP:s skadeverkningar: std ges fr lokala frukttrd som jordbrukarna annars vore bengna att byta ut mot nya, mer produktiva varieteter, vilka ger bttre utbyte inom den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr frukt och grnsaker men vilka ocks krver strre mngder kemikalier. Bidrag ges ocks fr att stdja den extensiva boskapsuppfdningen, som hotas i och med de hga boskapsbidrag som infrdes vid 1992 rs GJP-reform.
Other AE measures designed to preserve temporary grasslands and pastures, must compete with the higher arable aid for which the land is eligible. 
Andra tgrder inom miljprogrammet, som r avsedda att bevara grs-och betesmark i vxelbruk, konkurrerar med de hgre odlingsbidrag som marken berttigar till.
In Spain, AE aid is paid to reduce water consumption; but the arable aid regime pays a higher rate of support for irrigated land than for non-irrigated land, and this encourages farmers to irrigate. 
I Spanien ges miljprogramsstd fr att minska vattenfrbrukningen, men inom ordningen fr odlingsstd tillmpas en hgre stdsats fr konstbevattnad mark n fr icke-konstbevattnad, ngot som ger jordbrukarna incitament att vattna.
The Commission in its Agenda 2000 proposals has underlined that ‘the scale of support still provided through prices and crop specific payments (e.g. silage, maize and flax) may discourage farmers from committing themselves to more extensive practices or dedicating land to environmental purposes’ (in COM(2000) 97 final, p. 
Genom sina frslag i Agenda 2000 har kommissionen betonat att Óomfattningen av det std som fortfarande ges genom prisniver och specifika utbetalningar fr enskilda produkter (t.ex. ensilage, majs och lin) kan gra jordbrukarna mindre bengna att ta sig att anvnda mer extensiva metoder eller att avstta mark fr miljndamlÓ (KOM(97)2000 slutlig, s.
There are also unjustified differences in the prescriptions for set-aside. 
Det finns dessutom omotiverade skillnader i reglerna fr arealuttag.
For example, a significant proportion of AE aid is spent on compensating farmers for using less fertiliser, to combat nitrate pollution. 
Exempelvis lggs en betydande del av miljprogramsstdet p att kompensera jordbrukare som minskar sin anvndning av gdningsmedel, detta fr att motverka nitratfrorening.
Meanwhile, 12 Member States currently face proceedings in the European Court of Justice, because of non-transposition and/or the incorrect application of the Community’s Nitrates Directive: This Directive anticipates that farmers should limit their use of fertiliser, without compensation (B, D, EL, E, F, IRL, I, L, NL, A, P, and UK). 
Samtidigt har emellertid tolv medlemsstater (B, D, EL, E, F, IRL, I, L, NL, A, P och UK) nyligen stmts infr EG-domstolen, anklagade fr att ha underltit att infrliva EU:s nitratdirektiv med sin nationella lagstiftning och/eller fr att ha tillmpat direktivet p fel stt.
A recent study has concluded that largely because of agricultural effluent, ‘it is estimated that 5 % to 6 % of the European population is now being supplied with drinking water which contains more nitrate than the permitted EU maximum of 50 mg/litre and 25 % of the population is using water with a level greater than the optimum of 25mg/litre’ (3). 
I en frsk underskning har man kommit fram till att uppskattningsvis 5Đ6 % av befolkningen frses med dricksvatten som innehller mer nitrat n den hgsta tilltna mngden i EU p 50 mg/liter, och 25 % av befolkningen anvnder vatten med en hgre niv n den optimala p 25 mg/liter, och detta beror till stor del p utslpp frn jordbruket (3).
With regard to the Nitrates Directive, the poor implementation of which was the subject of a previous report by the Court (4), not one Member State has a fully satisfactory transposition record (see Table 9). 
Nitratdirektivet, vars otillrckliga genomfrande var mnet fr en tidigare rapport frn revisionsrtten (4) har fr vrigt inte infrlivats p ett fullt tillfredsstllande stt av ngon enda medlemsstat (se tabell 9).
As the EEA has concluded, ‘until now, at EU level, the link between “Nature” legislation and the CAP has remained inadequate’ (5). 
Miljbyrn har konstaterat att kopplingen mellan miljlagstiftningen och GJP p EU-niv hittills har varit otillfredsstllande (5).

The EEA has noted that some Member States, particularly in the south, subsidise water use by farmers; at the same time, EU funds are being used to pay farmers to use less water. 
Miljbyrn har konstaterat att vissa medlemsstater, framfr allt i sder, subventionerar jordbrukarnas vattenfrbrukning; samtidigt anvnds EU-medel fr att betala jordbrukare fr att de skall anvnda mindre vatten.
‘At the national level, perhaps the most obvious subsidies with an environmental effect are to irrigated agriculture in southern Europe. 
P nationell niv gr kanske de mest uppenbara subventionerna med miljkonsekvenser till konstbevattnat jordbruk i sdra Europa.
Municipalities supplying water to agricultural units in the Po Basin in Italy are required to charge prices based on cost recovery but in practice numerous exemptions are granted.

In Spain, agricultural abstraction is subject to a levy which is not related to volume of water used, but to area of land, and there is a shortfall between recovered costs and the costs of supply. 
I Spanien finns en avgift fr vattenuttag fr jordbruk som inte hnger samman med vattenfrbrukningsmngden, utan med mark-arealen, och det finns ett underskott mellan kostnadstckningen och kostnaden fr vattenfrsrjningen.
