  1. One year of EU 25Nature Conservation policy experience regarding the 2nd pillar of the CAP and reform prospects From Potsdam to BonnCAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Kilian Delbrück, BMU, Bonn

  2. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation From Potsdam to Bonn • February 2003: Potsdam Conference • July 2003: Luxemburg Decisions on CAP Reform • March 2004: Adaptation of Accession Act following the CAP-Reform • May 2004: Accession • January 2005: Start of new CAP • September 2005: Bonn Conference Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  3. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Conclusions from Potsdam I • Decoupling: • Decoupling preferable from environmental perspective • Flat rate area payment: more environmental benefits • For (then) CCs the simplified system would be the best option; coupled payments would be a dead end Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  4. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Conclusions from Potsdam II • Cross Compliance: • chance to integrate environmental concerns into CAP • standards should go beyond current EU law level • Practicability of control system • phasing-in for CCs necessary • Modulation: rate of 6% too low • Agro-Environmental schemes: • administrative capacity of CCs must be strengthened and procedures simplied • extension to non-farmers • LFA: should play a more prominent role Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  5. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Conclusions from Potsdam III • Awareness for the effects of agriculture on environment and nature is important • Each CAP scheme should minimise the potential negative environmental consequences, maximise positive effects and minimise administrative costs • Need for continuous support in capacity building to administer the schemes • Ongoing dialogue within and between all EU Member States and CCs is essentiell Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  6. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Implementation of CAP Reform • EU-Level • Regulations on the application of Reg. 1782/2003 • Committee Meetings etc. • National Level • Decisions concerning the various options for national implementation • Legislation • Administrative Rules and Procedures Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  7. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Conclusions from Implementation in Germany I • The basic approach for implementing CAP reform is positive from an environmental perspective • Nevertheless some opportunities for maximising positive effects for nature were not taken, e.g.: • level of cross compliance standards • „environmental option“– Art. 69 • Difficulties in implementing nature-related cross compliance standards Kilian Delbrück, Bonn

  8. From Potsdam to Bonn CAP Reform 2003 and its National Implementation Conclusions from Implementation in Germany II • Monitoring of the effects of implementation on nature is important – BMU Research Project • First preliminary results of interviews • Interest in giving up production • Interest in trading set-aside entitlements • Reactions on cross compliance • Tendency towards diversification • Ongoing dialogue is essential Kilian Delbrück, Bonn
